If you view Sarkar as a remake of The Godfather, chances are you won’t like it. If you view it as a tribute, and not necessarily compare it with the original, you will find much to admire. In general, remakes seem to work better if you can put thoughts of the original out of your

Rang De Basanti was playing on TV recently, so I settled in to watch some of it. It is a very well made movie with strong performances all around, and could rightfully claim to be one of the best movies of that year. What some people had a problem with, though, was the ending. The

Namaste London tells the story of a UK-based family of Indian origin. I use the word “origin” loosely here. You see, the parents are from India, but their daughter was born after they emigrated and considers herself British. To complicate matters, she falls in love with a Brit. In order to prevent matters from going

This is a tough review to write. The short version would simply say: Juno is perfect. The long version would involve me rhapsodizing about every single scene. Let me see if I can settle for something midway. For those of you who know nothing of the movie, it involves a teenage girl named Juno who

Dear Myshkin, This is a line. On one side of this line is a hard-hitting movie about two friends, one who wants to be a cop and another who becomes one. And how their paths slowly diverge until they are on opposite sides of a loaded gun. And a serial rapist and kidnapper who stands

Hot on the heels of all those Jodhaa Akbar reviews comes this sublimely hilarious post by greatbong, titled Akbar-nama: A day in the life of Jalaluddin Akbar. This is by far one of the most hilarious pieces of writing I have come across in recent times. Don’t miss this one! And while you’re at it,

My wife and I were discussing Hrithik yesterday. A look at his recent releases (insofar as the word “recent” could be used to mean “the last five years”) reveals that he hasn’t had a flop in a while. But then, he hasn’t done too many movies recently either. You get one Hrithik movie a year

One of the little pleasures of Jab We Met is its amazing array of supporting characters. Many of them have no more than a few minutes of screen time, but they manage to leave their mark. No one illustrates this better than the desk clerk at Hotel Decent in Ratlaam, where the couple decide to

The title of this post refers to a compilation of Roger Ebert’s reviews of movies he hated. I wouldn’t be surprised if it sells very well. Every once in a while, someone posts a message on this blog saying, “I’d like to read your review of Ramgopal Verma Ki Aag” or something along those lines.

Let me dispense with the formalities first: Jodhaa Akbar is not a bad movie. However, it does fall distressingly short of being a good one. The movie tells the story of Akbar as a young Mughal king on the way to greatness, and his marriage to the Rajput princess Jodhaa. It was, to be sure,
