Movie Review:1920-Evil Returns

Image
Cast : Aftab Shivdasani, Tina Bajpai Director: Bhushan Patel Producer: Vikram Bhatt Rating : 3/5 It doesn’t entail to that extreme breathtaking horror that would not even allow you to catch a quick loo break.However, compile the usual old drama of a beauty possessed by an evil and a hero who frees his beloved blah blah. Old school. Nevertheless, who thought that this old school trick could actually work . 1920-evil returns has all the basic spooky elements to cling the audience to their seats and visit the loo more often. At least I did! Although the story line is very very basic. Moreover, if you have ever happen to watch Exorcist by any chance, do not get startled if you find some similar scenes. Smruti (Tia Bajpai ) is found unconscious at a lakeside shore where our hero (Aftab Shivdasani) as the famous shayar Jaidev is able to rescue her. The departure of her lost love (whom he had never seen by the way) has made him an alcoholic. The arrival of S...

Movie Review: Shirin Farhad Ki toh Nikal Padi

Image
Cast: Boman Irani, Farah Khan, Daisy Irani Direction: Bela Bhansali Sehgal Genre: Romantic Comedy Duration: I hour and 52 minutes Rating: 2.5/5 Rose tinted 40 plus love amalgamated with a funny storyline and a wide range of under  clothes. Well you are definitely in for a roller coaster ride of unceasing drama, love and an endearing finale. Farhad Pastakia (Boman Irani) is a 45-year-old salesperson at Tem Tem Bra and Panty shop. He has given up all the hopes of getting married ever in his life until one day he encounters another Parsi bachelorette Shrin Fuggawala (Farah Khan) who is the secretary at The Parsi Trust. And that marks the beginning of yet another love saga between the two. Boman Irani’s has acted undoubtedly well. Farah Khan fits beautifully in the role of Shirin and her acting skills are natural enough to make her debut a hit!  Amidst the sizes 38-d, 36-b at which Farhad is a master  at, the duo began to realize that love indeed...

Paan Singh Tomar: Movie review

Image
Irrfan Khan does it again! With a methodical portray of the real life Olympic winner Paan singh tomar, Tigmanshu Dhulia has brilliantly portrayed the life history of one of the illustrious but eventually forgotten sports heroes of our country. The movie starts off in a flashback when a journalist interviews Paan Singh who has now become a gruesome”BAAGI” (as he likes to be referred )in the Chambal valley.  Paan singh being a jawaan in the Indian army represents a lean, little but yes an educated  villager who at frequent times does exhibit his love for his wife Indra (mahie Gill). The mention of lemon drops at times in order to drive their children away to grab a chance of making love is in a way very amusing. Mahie Gill who plays the role of his wife has a dark complexion like of all the village girls around,thus doing justification with the character.Not to forget the typical language used which enlivens the authenticity of the film. From a normal jawaan, the army spo...
