18th Sep. ‘09 : Dil Bole Hadippa (Decently good by Yashraj standards. High on loud and irritating Pujabosterone, be warned.)

12th Sep. ‘09 : Daddy Cool (I have no idea why I saw this one. 3 laugh out aloud moment in a comedy movie of 2 1/2 hrs. Do the math)

6th Sep. ‘09 : Chintuji (Nice, warm movie. Hamming by Rishi Kapoor. Go for Welcome to Sajjanpur instead)

2nd Sep. ‘09 : Bruno (Very funny. Less than Borat maybe. Not for people who don’t like gross content)

29th Aug. ‘09 : Kaminey (Very good entertainer. Not a masterpiece, not brilliant. Shahid is very good, but I can’t recall when he wasn’t sincere in a role)

23rd Aug. ‘09 : Yes Man (Nice, small, sweet movie. Don’t expect too much, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised)

23rd Aug. ‘09 : Valkyrie (Decent, one-time watch. If you haven’t seen it, just let it go)

15th Aug. ‘09 : Elizabeth (Engaging enough to not get bored. That’s all)

15th Aug. ‘09 : Revolutionary Road (Kate tries too hard to do great acting, but Leonardo is better. The movie is slow, but acting keeps it going)

15th Aug. ‘09 : Million Dollar Baby (Hillary Swank totally pwns this role. Supporting cast great too. Very nice movie)

8th Jun ‘09 : The Hangover (Not a bad movie, but not too funny either. Old School is way better).

15th May ‘09 : Flavors (review here)

9th May ‘09 : The Day My God Died (review here)

24th Apr. ‘09 : Firaaq (very slow, badly put together, some stories are almost pointless. No idea why it is acclaimed).

14th Mar. ‘09 : Dev D (review here).

16th Feb. ‘09 : Ankahee (Remember the Aftab, Amisha, Esha Deol starrer supposedly on the life of Sushmita Sen ? Falls short of a B-grade flick but waaaay short of an A-grade one).

15th Feb. ‘09 : Billu (Priyadarshan tries his best to mess it up like his other “comedies”, but Irfan shines and the last 30 mins is a treat).
