Billu (2009)

In nutshell, "BILLU"- Simple, Honest, Sweet, Descent and Feel good.

[7/10 · 14 February 2009]

Wel..l. Let me clarify one thing i will not comment anything about Storyline as it is already known to most moviegoers; being a remake of Malayalam film. So why should u go for this Hindi remake? There are several strong reasons: 1). Superb acting by all cast- Irfan khan, SRK, Lara Dutta especially Ompuri and Rajapal yadav. 2) eye catching visuals, stunning cinematography. 3) superb Art direction (just look at the entry of "Sahil khan" ). 4) Dialogues are very well written. 5) good music and item songs. 6) a treat for the whole family. 7) Nice moral concept. Over and all, this is nice attempt 2 revive the old concept of friendship by Priyadarshan. Srk has delivered great performance although the character of Sahir Khan was very much similar to him. But it is the Irfan khan who, at the end, grabs most eyeballs. In nutshell "Billu"- Simple, sweet, Honest, Descent and feel good movie....

Iron Man (2008)

"I'M IRON MAN, The first WORLD wide block bluster of 2008...."

[10/10 · 7 May 2008]

It start with a "Boom" and maintain fast pace in terms of script and performance through the movie. Robert drowny Jr. Is perfect casting as an "Iron man". This is the best superhero movie EVER made. His dialogue delivery and style is fun to watch. His comic timing is excellent. The action sequences are marvelous although my some of the friends still felt the requirement of some more action scenes in the movie. Back ground music is excellent. The subtle message in the movie is quite appreciable. The direction and script writing is excellent. The scence involving high tech lab. Of Tony stark is quite impressive. I highly recommend this movie to everyone..coz "Iron man is borne with the aim..."

U Me Aur Hum (2008)

[8/10 · 11 April 2008]

1).Superb cinematography2).fantastic graphics3).Gorgeous Kajol 4). Awesome performances by all cast 5). Nice title track. If u sum all these what will u get?..U, ME aur HUM. I have to admit that it takes guts to choose such a sensitive subject for ur first directorial venture bt HATS OFF TO AJAY DEVGAN for bring us "old wine in new bottle". This movie is SOooo Romantic that u wil surely going to miss ur someone special so if he/she is not with you. I wil not reveal it's storyline but also is not new subject but the presentation or the way in which the story told is what it's strong point. "a must see" with ur someone special..8/10

Jodhaa Akbar (2008)

It's good but not great..

[6/10 · 15 February 2008]

(WARNING:This is my first review and my English also is not good). I saw this movie in first day morning show..and guess..it's not SO much boring as I was thinking. So what made me feel good or great in this movie 1). Great acting by Hrithik roshan as "jalal" and Beautiful gorgeous Aishwarya who played "JODHAA"..i just loved this pair..their on screen chemistry is just wow..2) The picturization of the song esp. "KHWAJA" and title song..3). There are many "paisa-wasool" moments in this movie like the romance between Jodhaa and Akbar..so..natural..4). Some of the good acting by supported star cast.. So for all these 8 out of 10. Bt there are many instance when u feel turn off. Especially very bad shooted war scene at the starting of movie..and the climax action scene between Akabar and his enemy is AVERAGE to ABOVE AVERAGE. Those who doesn't understand Urdu plz go with Urdu-Hindi dictionary otherwise u will lose the interest from movies..there are some unnecessary scenes in this movie which make this movie more than 3 hours so overall 6 out of 10 watch it out if Ur HRITHI or AISh fan..
