De Dana Dan (2009)
Infused with wickedly funny dialogues, naughty one liners and hilarious situations, director Priyadarshan’s De Dana Dan is a rip-roaring comedy which requires one to put aside his/her sense of logic to let the laughter sink in for the next three hours. Shot entirely in Singapore, the film starts slow but soon the real fun begins ...
Rocket Singh – Salesman of the Year (2009)
Rocket Singh is not a great film – for great films usually do very well with critics and rake in the moolah at the box office too – but it certainly is a good one. To begin with, it is refreshing to see Ranbir Kapoor step out of the romantic-stooge mould he has been stereotyping ...
Paa (2009)
A film where Vidya Balan looks good and Amitabh is not ‘Amitabh’ sounds almost too good to be true, but such a film has finally been made. Any character Amitabh has played in over three decades has veered on a spectrum between Anthony and Narayan Shankar (Mohabbatein). His character always ends up being ‘Amitabh playing ...
Jail (2009)
“As expected, Jail is a dark, brooding and morose film on the injustices of life and how human dignity can prevail despite bleak circumstances through resilience, perseverance and hope. Like all Bhandarkar films, Jail too is a social commentary akin to a documentary on the deplorable conditions within jails and most importantly the injustices endemic ...
Blue (2009)
It would be unfair to watch every movie with the same vision. You watch Yash Raj films for ensemble casts, romance, songs and exotic locales. You watch Vishal Bhardwaj films for their intensity and David Dhawan films for their light hearted humour. Plunging into another genre of Bollywood films, debutante director Anthony D’Souza with his ...
Wake Up Sid (2009)
Whether it’s the typical Indian soap opera family saga, a controversial extra marital soap opera, or a playful film full of ribald humor, like him or loathe him, Karan Johar just knows how to make films. Period. With his latest venture Karan and Dharma Productions have come of age; quite ironically in a film that ...
What’s Your Raashee (2009)
What’s Your Raashee? is Ashutosh Gowariker’s sardonic way of asking ‘what’s your patience’ (or ‘how far can your bladder hold’ as an Indian critic has unabashedly pointed out). The Lagaan director (and hardcore Swadesi) had seriously lost his marbles as he ran out of patience and dignity during an awards show when he derided Priyanka ...
Life Partner (2009)
Like all art forms, films have their own genres: thriller, suspense, romantic, comedy etc. Bollywood has all those and one genre that stands entirely on its own – the Govinda movie. Now how does one define a quintessential Govinda flick? Calling it mindless entertainment would be too simplistic, it is crass yet erudite, educating audiences ...
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 ...
Luck (2009)
If there’s one thing that writer-director Soham Shah got right, it was to name his film in the hope that like some magical charm it would transfuse the power from its name onto the object itself. Luck is precisely what he needs to make this venture work. Half-baked characters in a half-baked plot with lots ...
