Dastan (1950)
Musical Pictures Limited’s presentation Dastan directed by Mr. A.R. Kardar from a story by Mr. Bannerji with music by Mr. Naushad, is a veritable dynamo of pulse pounding, heart throbbing drama. In comparison to the weak, feeble and semi-tottering results of cramped intelligence and doddering minds, as evident in some recent pictures Mr. Kardar’s Dastan ...
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 ...
Nagin (1954)
Filmistan’s dance-cum-musical romance, “Nagin,” directed by Nandlal Jaswantlal and starring vivacious Vyjayanthimala and Pradeep Kumar in the romantic leads, was premiered in Bombay at the luxurious Liberty Cinema on Friday, December 24th, 1954.

Shabnam (1949)

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 ...
Jhootha Hi Sahi (2010)
When the director of Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na comes up with his second directorial venture, you are bound to have high expectations but the only way you can survive through Jhootha Hi Sahi is to have no expectations at all. Otherwise you’ll end up being majorly disappointed. You have been warned already. Jhootha Hi ...
Do Dooni Char (2010)
Real, sweet, simple and sensitive - these four words define Do Dooni Char, which is a tribute to all the teachers and the teaching community. It is a movie that makes you remember all those teachers who have taught you the most important lessons of your life. It is a movie that makes you realize ...
Khichdi – The Movie (2010)
TV serials are known for coping [Ahem, I mean taking inspiration from] Bollywood movies and stretching them into never ending sagas and soaps for the small screen but this is the first time [at least, in India] that a TV show is turned into a proper full fledge film. If you are a couch potato ...
