Jodha Akbar - 2008 - Ashutosh Gowariker

May 7, 2008 · No Comments

A masterpiece portraying the life of Akbar, the legendary Mughal Emperor, and his marriage to his Hindu-wife Jodha Bai. Aish looks stunning in her some 100 kgs of Tanishq jewelery. At more than three hours long it’s one to watch, once. Neha Kumar.

Welcome - 2007 - Aneez Bazmee

April 7, 2008 · No Comments

Welcome is a rubbish comedy, which inexplicably topped the box office charts. Am I completely wrong, or is there something seriously something wrong with our Bollywood audience, who are willing to endorse a nonsense film like this? Welcome is guilty of gross overacting and nothing seems natural about this movie. It simply sucks! Neha Kumar

Aaja Nachle - 2007 - Anil Mehta

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street - 2007 - Tim Burton

st.jpgGlamorous costumes, great set designs and cinematography, and a fantastic dark atmosphere that’s become Tim Burton’s trademark - unfortunately comes to nothing. I don’t know why the hell he thought this had to be a musical. Omid Nikfarjam
