KIS KIS KO PYAR KAROON will find a more than a few lovers and maybe even a few haters
Rating: ( 3/5 ) That Kis Kis Ko Pyar Karoon (KKKPK) was going to be Kapil Sharma’s debut vehicle, rather than Yashraj film’s BANK CHOR, about which Kapil had been cleverly bragging on his show,...
KATTI BATTI – Enough Reason To Say ‘Katti’ To Nikhil Advani, No Chance Of ‘Batti’
That KATTI BATTI disappoints is a no-brainer. The film has no depth and no thought process going. It is partially supposed to be a rom-com, to finally lose its way somewhere, and it succeeds...
MANJHI-Very Good but not exactly ground-breaking
Rating – ( 3.5 / 5 ) MANJHI- is a brave tale of a brave man. Brave man –for he single-handedly makes a road in a mountain with a hammer and chisel alone. And brave...

Bajrangi Bhaijaan – Aap Chha Gaye Salman Bhai
Rating: ( 4.5/5 ) BAJRANGI BHAIJAAN is a BLOCKBUSTER, without any doubt. It is a humane story of a very affable Bajrangi, played by Salman Khan, who transcends boundaries of religions, nations and hard bred...
Baahubali – an epic – huge, rather humungous in its entirety
Rating: ( 5/5 ) Critics wait and wait to give a 5 star rating to a film. But was there ever a perfect film on day 1? Rarely ever. Even a film like SHOLAY is...
