Movie Review: CHANCE PE DANCE by FENIL SETA

Posted by: fenilseta on: January 17, 2010

Ken Ghosh is back with a film after almost 6 years. His first, Ishq Vishk, was a runaway hit and it was a dream launch for Shahid Kapoor. His next, Fida, also with Shahid, was a smashing thriller although it failed at the BO. Now Ken is here with his third film, Chance Pe Dance, [...]

Movie Review: 3 IDIOTS by FENIL SETA

Posted by: fenilseta on: December 26, 2009

Although 51 weeks had passed in 2009, it still seemed incomplete. There was not a single Hindi flick this year which could be happily showered with never-ending appreciation and 5/5 ratings. Thankfully, 3 Idiots has arrived in the final week and given us the much needed ‘film of the year’! To tell you the truth, I [...]

Movie Review: AVATAR by FENIL SETA

Posted by: fenilseta on: December 21, 2009

It was always felt that Hollywood films’ release in India won’t harm the prospects of Bollywood films. But the success of Titanic, King Kong, Spiderman series and more recently the blockbuster collections of 2012 has finally made everyone realize that Hollywood is a force to reckon with in India too. And that’s why all Hindi [...]

Movie Review: DE DANA DAN by FENIL SETA

Posted by: fenilseta on: December 14, 2009

Priyadarshan has always come up with zany comedies but De Dana Dan takes away the cake. In your entire life, you would have not seen such complicated and bizarre film ever, nor would you see it in future! There are some 25 characters; the entire action takes place inside a luxurious hotel and misunderstandings galore [...]

Movie Review: PAA by FENIL SETA

Posted by: fenilseta on: December 14, 2009

Bollywood is coming out with creative, out of the box films and the year 2009 is a witness to it. Paa is one such film that can also be safely termed as ‘most unique film of 2009’. Of course, the USP is undoubtedly Amitabh Bachchan’s wonderful portrayal as a 12/13 year old kid. But that [...]

Movie Review: ROCKET SINGH-SALESMAN OF THE YEAR by FENIL SETA

Posted by: fenilseta on: December 12, 2009

It’s always a pleasure to see a meaningful flick which entertains as well enlightens. Rajkumar Hirani is the master of such flicks (his forthcoming 3 Idiots is also expected to be the same). Rocket Singh also falls in this category. Although it is laden with some glitches, overall it gives you a great time and [...]

Movie Review: KURBAAN by FENIL SETA

Posted by: fenilseta on: November 23, 2009

In the process of eliminating handful of terrorists, we end up creating many more-this best describes the policies of Western developed powers who are hell bent on making the world more democratic but adopt inhuman ways to achieve the end point. Kurbaan throws light on this sensitive topic and thankfully treats it well. The flick [...]

Movie Review: TUM MILE by FENIL SETA

Posted by: fenilseta on: November 15, 2009

Any kind of calamity, whether natural or man-made, is immediately picked up by the film fraternity to capture the event in celluloid. The 26 July 2005 Mumbai deluge was one of the biggest natural disasters in India in this decade and surprisingly, no film, comprising A-listers was based on it yet. Finally, Tum Mile takes [...]

Movie Review: AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI by FENIL SETA

Posted by: fenilseta on: November 7, 2009

I am out of the theatre and still thinking, “Is this the same Rajkumar Santoshi who gave some hard-hitting and intense films for a long time?”. Yup, he directed Andaz Apna Apna but that was like some 15-16 years ago. Post-AAA, he came up with close to dozen intense and almost realistic films. A certain [...]

Movie Review: BAABARR by FENIL SETA

Posted by: fenilseta on: October 26, 2009

Parinda, Satya, Vaastav, Company and Gangster-these are handful of Hindi films which were based on the mafia/gangster menace and also very well executed. Now Baabarr should be added to this list of ‘finest gangster films of Bollywood’! The film is violent, gory and raw but at the same time, it’s thoroughly engrossing packed with award-winning [...]
