Mahal (1949)
Bombay Talkies Mahal is a story of ghosts, spooks, apparitions, jitters, quivers, bats and snakes. It succeeds in giving one the creeps, but through more causes than one. In the initial stage the spine tingling chill of weird horror which slowly creeps down one’s back is because of the masterly genius ace cameraman Josef Wirsching ...
Hisss (2010)
Once the movie has ended (if you have managed to actually watch it till it ends) the only thing anybody would say is: “what the hell was that?!” Perhaps the fact that Hisss has an international female director created high expectations from the movie. Also, we were excited to see Mallika back on Bollywood screens ...
Ek Second…Jo Zindagi Badal De… (2010)
Cleverly nestled between an I Hate Luv Storys and Rajneeti trailer was a 30 second promo on local cable – ‘Fasale Bahara Hoon Mai’ was the name of the track, which saw former Femina Miss India Nikita Anand seducing a frigid [gasp!] Moammar Rana in Bollywood’s answer to Punjabi/Pashto pulp. The English lyrics of the ...
Kites (2010)
Kites has made Bollywood attain a completely different level, much higher than any other movie has ever been able to reach before. As many skeptics would want to argue, Kites was anything but Indian. There were barely any traditional Indian elements; there wasn’t much of a Bollywood flavour and many other random attacks on things ...
Darr (1993)
Cast: Sunny Deol, Juhi Chawla, Shah Rukh Khan Director: Yash Chopra Music: Shiv, Hari Lyrics: Anand Bakshi Capsule Review: Making a departure from the ultra-romanticism of Daag, Kabhi Kabhie and Chandni, Yash Chopra swerved fluently into the sinister with this film. As the psychologically disturbed lover-boy who can’t take no for an answer from Juhi ...
Lekin (1991)
Cast: Vinod Khanna, Dimple Kapadia, Amjad Khan Director: Gulzar Music: Hridayanath Mangeshkar Lyrics: Gulzar Capsule Review: Produced by ‘Asia’s Nightingale’ Lata Mangeshkar, Lekin is a ghost story with a difference. Lekin transports us into the twilight ‘now‑you-see-her-now-you-don’t’ zone. Frozen between two lives the female protagonist’s character is guided by the hero Vinod Khanna from one ...
Ittefaq (1969)
Cast: Nanda, Rajesh Khanna Director: Yash Chopra Music: (background score) Salil Chowdhury Capsule Review: The ever-experimental B.R.Chopra produced this songless thriller, his second film after the courtroom drama Kanoon. The raw and riveting Rajesh Khanna played a man accused of murdering his wife who takes asylum in a single woman’s (Nanda) home and finds himself ...
Jewel Thief (1967)
Cast: Ashok Kumar Dev Anand,Vyjanthimala,Tanuja Director: Vijay Anand Music: S.D. Burman Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri, Shailendra Capsule Review: A film about mistaken identity starring the debonair Dev Anand cast as lookalikes. This clever suspense film with a surfeit of skilful narrative devices all climaxing in one of the most heart- stopping song-anddance sequences ever filmed (Hothon ...
Kohraa (1964)
Cast: Biswajeet,Waheeda Rehman, Lalita Pawar Director: Hiren Nag Music: Hemant Kumar Lyrics: Kaifi Azmi Capsule Review: Kohraa featured the ethereal Waheeda Rehman as the mysterious rake Biswajeet’s second wife who’s haunted by his dead wife. The chilling ambience was sublimated by the producer Hemant Kumar’s vintage music. Songs like Lata Mangeshkar’s Jhoom jhoom dhalti raat ...
Kaminey (2009)
Eleven characters. A volley of bullets whizz by. Corpses pile up. A dead body disappears. A drug deal goes awry. Blink and you might miss all of it. Kaminey is a film that requires a heavy dose of caffeine and your utmost attention. It also is the hit of the year. Forget the Kambakkht Ishqs ...
