Some people don’t really don’t seem to read the writings on the wall. After continuous flops at the box office, Sunny Deol don’t really seem to realize that his formulas are not working at all. Jet Li’s style of fighting from The One does not work for him nor does his Hindi Slyvester Stallon image.

City of God will be released in India very soon; well, yes it is an extremely late for the Indian cinegoers. Somebody had asked me how I could watch through the whole movie, City of God was one hell of a bloody, heart-breaking movie. The 2 hour movie is about two boys growing up in [...]

Bheja Fry is a movie that will irritate you to laugh; perhaps a Sunday evening well spent for me laughing out to the irritant of Bharat Bhushan (Vinay Pathak).

Alright, the hoopla about the marriage was hugely exaggerated, media banked on it even if they were allowed neither inside Prateeksha nor Jalsa (both residences of the Bachchans). Forgetting about the event, I mistakenly drove along that road on my way home on the 18th April (the sangeet day) and I had to face the [...]

It is a grim reality that millions of Indians queue up every day at public taps for one of life’s most precious commodities - Water.
Severe water shortages have already led to a growing number of conflicts across the country. Sewage and wastewater from rapidly growing cities and effluents from industries have turned many rivers, including [...]
Ten vibrantly colored pots balanced delicately on the head of a Rajasthani performer as she calmly positioned her feet on broken glass and a bed of nails. Her head dipped to pick up a ten rupee note in her mouth from the ground and the crowds applauded as all the pots miraculously stayed firmly positioned [...]
The phenomenon of female infanticide is as old as many cultures, and has accounted for millions of gender selective deaths throughout history. It remains a critical concern in a number of Third World countries today, notably China and India, and is arguably the most vicious and repugnant manifestation of the anti female bias.
I was intrigued by the promos of this particular movie. It looked appealing. Not that the subject has never been made into a movie, but… this time it was Amitabh in there. You dont need to be a rocket surgeon to know that such a movie would not have done very well in India. What [...]
