Although it inhabits different parts of the market, Honda has always been the Japanese equivalent of Mercedes-Benz, a company that puts engineering first and is prepared to introduce innovations even if they do not promise an immediate profit. Honda's singular attitude has paid-off at different times when it had the best-selling cars in Japan and the United States but recently it hasn't seemed to do anything right. It was a...

Cast: Vikram Prabhu, Lakshmi Menon, Thambi Ramaiah, Asvin Raja Director: Prabhu Solomon Rating: 3.5 out of 5 After the critically acclaimed 'Mynaa', filmmaker Prabhu Solomon returns with an equally uplifting film, in which an elephant plays the eponymous character. 'Kumki' is the kind of film that reminds us yet again that we don't need hero-worshipping scripts anymore to draw audiences to the cinemas. Set in the backdrop of forests of...

Cast: Josh Stewart, Emma Fitzpatrick, Christopher McDonald, Lee Tergeson Director: Marcus Dunstan Rating: 1.5 out of 5 This film is not for the faint-hearted, but for horror lovers who can digest stomach curdling and brutal mindless killings. It is about killing and torturing as many people as possible in the most brutal, graphic and pointlessly violent ways possible. From the makers of 'Saw' and 'The Collector' , 'The Collection' is...

New Delhi: A mutilated corpse and twelve clues that trace to twelve different cities and their stories form the basis of Anurag Kashyap's latest offering 'The Last Act'. The film, which began with a novel idea of collaborating with twelve filmmakers from across the country to come out with twelve different stories, is not only interesting in its theme but is gripping enough to keep the audiences on tenterhooks for...

New York: Over the past few years, smartphones have gradually gotten bigger and tablet computers have gotten smaller. So it should come as no surprise that devices in between are starting to emerge (The specifications of the HTC DNA are smiliar to the recently unveiled HTC Butterfly) These Android devices, informally known as phablets, are better described as giant phones than baby tablets, as they can be used for phone...

There is nothing like a good short story to put you to bed. Where probably you might dream of them and the words that you read. I love the genre of the short story. It has so much to say and yet so restrained, giving the reader a chance to think and imagine a lot more than what a novel is capable of. A lot of publications (in the sense...

New Delhi: LG which is lagging behind rivals such as Apple and Samsung is fighting hard to get a fair bite out of the smartphone market pie. Samsung set the trend of the mammoth phones with the Galaxy Note and LG followed with its large-screened phone named Optimus Vu. In the first look, I was a bit excited with its slightly different squarish design, but after using for only a...

Cast: Rajinikanth, Shriya Saran, Suman and Vivekh Director: S Shankar Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Watching superstar Rajinikanth sizzle on screen despite how cliched it appears, as some may call it, is an experience worth a million smiles and the thumping of as many hearts. Now, watching him recreate the magic in 3D, closer to hands-reach, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Released five years after its original release in 2007, 'Sivaji...

New Delhi: First 'Rowdy Rathore' and now 'Khiladi 786', Akshay Kumar has decided to make a comeback to the genre which gave him a footing during his initial years in the Hindi film industry. This time he has teamed up with director Ashish R Mohan for a film which also features Asin, Mithun Chakraborty, Paresh Rawal, Raj Babbar and Himesh Reshammiya in prominent roles. This is Akshay's eighth film in...

This week, Rajeev Masand reviews Aamir Khan, Rani Mukherji and Kareena Kapoor starrer 'Talaash'. On the surface it's a juicy suspense, but 'Talaash' is as much about grief and surviving great loss. It's about relationships and love, and at the same time it's a story that questions your belief in the paranormal. In spite of packing in many themes at once, the writers keep the film consistently accessible (and occasionally ...

While Mickey Mouse has been the face of The Walt Disney Co. for more than 80 years, I don't think he's anyone's favourite toon. The kids in my family adore Ariel, Simba and Buzz Lightyear, while I have a soft spot for Scrooge McDuck. Mickey is more corporate logo than character, the smiling figurehead at the prow of the mighty SS Disney. And yet, here he is in Epic Mickey...
