I watched AKIRA in the theatre some two weeks back and since then I’ve been trying to find some time to write about this.

Tere Naam (2003) – One of Salman Khan’s best performances
I’ve been trying to review some good Hindi films recently, and today I’ve chosen Tere Naam, which is regarded as one of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s best performances. Khan was already a well-known star when this film was released in 2003, but I believe he had never performed so well in such a complex storyline […]

‘1920 London’ – Hindi Horror Film Review
The Hindi-language horror flick 1920 London is the third installment in the 1920 film franchise [1920 (2008) and 1920: Evil Returns (2012)], starring Sharman Joshi & Meera Chopra.

Radhika Apte’s ‘Phobia’ Promises Thrill

As the name suggests, the film revolves around a phobia—or a fear of something—which is what we can gather from the recently released trailer and teasers.

Bajirao Mastani (Movie Review)
When Art and Cinema take over logical thinking, practical issues, worldly problems, and every other thing remotely connected to reasoning, a Bajirao Mastani is produced. But then who can make it more majestic and opulent than Sanjay Leela Bhansali? Bajirao Mastani no doubt is a delight to watch. It is like a lyrical ballad. You are […]
‘Ahalya’ and ‘Alma’ – Drive the Message Beautifully
It is really interesting to find two short films so similar and good in concept and content, yet different from each other. I’m here talking about recently released Sujoy Ghosh’s short film Ahalya and the 2009-released critically acclaimed creepy animated film “Alma”. The first one has also been well received by netizens ever since its release […]

Suspect X, Drishyam, Papanasam, Drishyam
The Malayalam film “Drishyam” (2013) featuring the legendary Mohanlal is an outstanding movie and has been adapted into numerous Indian languages, such as Hindi and Tamil. However, it is important to acknowledge that its storyline is undeniably influenced by the Japanese mystery-thriller movie “Suspect X.”
