New Delhi: It's a story that we have heard before. Perhaps different versions, but the milieu has been the same- of that of the plight of innocent south Asians in US post 9/11. Mira Nair's latest 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist' tries to explore the plight of an educated Pakistani man working in Wall Street post the terror attack. While the subject is not new- several films, documentaries and books have been...

New Delhi: I'll be honest. When the first promos of the anthology film 'Bombay Talkies' came out, some of us joked about how Karan Johar was somewhat a misfit among the rest of the directors who are associated with the film and how he will be lost among titans Anurag Kashyap , Dibakar Banerjee and Zoya Akhtar. So it's a lesson well learnt that Johar, the most commercially successful of...

New Delhi: There is something genuine about Aditya Roy Kapur. In an otherwise done to death, prolonged romantic saga 'Ashiqui 2', the only person who stands out is Roy Kapur, who gives a very confident performance as the self destructive singing superstar. So what's 'Aashiqui 2' all about? A reigning superstar, with multiple platinum discs to his credit, seeks for peace and solace and drowns himself in alcohol. A chance...

New Delhi: To make a film with the title 'Aashiqui 2' is not an easy thing as this name carries a baggage of superhit songs and innocent romance. However, director Mohit Suri seems to have won the first round because the songs of 'Aashiqui 2' have become chartbusters, but the real test of the film is going to happen in the public's court. Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor are...

New Delhi: You would think that after a smashing debut in 'Vickky Donor', actor Ayushmann Khurrana's second outing at the Box Office would create the same buzz. But as genuine as Rohan Sippy's 'Nautanki Saala' is - the film falls short of being a laugh riot. With two talented actors forming the lead - Kunal Roy Kapoor and Khurrana - who are known to have perfect comic timing, one could...

New Delhi: If you keep aside the fact that David Dhawan dared to remake a film that is considered a cult classic, 'Chashme Baddoor' can manage to tickle your funny bone. While the maker completely rips of the innocence that was associated to the original film and infuses slapstick humour in huge dollops- the three lead actors- Ali Zafar, Divyendu Sharma and Siddharth manage to make you laugh and cringe...

New Delhi: Buddy films always strike a chord among cine goers. And Sai Paranjpye's 1981 'Chashme Buddoor' had all the right ingredients to make it to classic's list. Light hearted comedy, innocence of the lead pair made the film an unforgettable one. Remaking a film which is still well etched in viewer's mind is always a risky thing. David Dhawan, the king of comedy film that ruled the roost in...
