5/10
I really loved the first 2 eoisodes BUT
3 February 2020
But now it's getting more and more dragging and irritating. The horror part is loosing and it gets more and more stupid.

Feel like it's getting from good to worse.

Dabangg 3 (2019)
8/10
What is wrong with critics and haters
24 December 2019
I haven't written any review in here for many years, but today I decided to do so, after watching Dabangg 3

The movie starts with a blast and got all the masala a movie needs. Salman Khan is too good. Songs are a bit too many, but at least they are good.

I don't understand why critics are bashing this movie, it's a nice movie which u can watch with whole family, without being vulgar.

I give the movie a 7, but Salman Khan made the movie extra good so will give it a 8.

Must watch movie.

Have to write a review after watching it
21 September 2019
I haven't been writing a review in here for years, but after watching Rambo last night, I felt it is needed, since we will never see Stallone as Rambo again.

This Rambo is the weakest in the lineup. At times I was thinking, why do they even call it Rambo, could name the movie anything else. I didn't get the Rambo feeling throughout the whole movie, and I grew up with these movies loving them.

Only cause of Stallone I give it 6 otherwise its a 5.

Goodbye to the Rambo franchise, which started with a surprise, and died out 40 years later.

Among the weakest Yash Chopra movies
25 December 2012
My expectations were high before seeing this movie, SRK + Anushka + Yash Chopra, how can it go wrong....but it did.

There wasn't a single moment where Yash CHopra created magic like he did in his previous movies.

Many scenes in the movie were forced and didn't create any meaning to the story. The opening scene with Anushka Sharma did not make any sense when she jumps in the water. The whole scene with Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh did not make any sense.

Casting Anushka Sharma in this movie was a waste of her talent, cause she didn't get no scope.

First time that Katrina Kaif did an OK job, and SRK did OK but since its a Yash Chopra movie an OK is not enough.

This is the worse Yash Chopra movie I have seen, and what a waste that this became ur last.

Agneepath (2012)
6/10
I am a fan of a Good movie...
24 March 2012
I finally decided to watch Agneepath after 3 months since it came out. My feeling is very mixed cause I love the original one.

If I hadnt seen the original then I might have liked the movie much more, but I must admit Hritik Roshan, Rishi Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt were too good in this movie....BUT why all this melodrama and songs and all these nonsense Karan Johar things...come on this is Agneepath and there is no room for seeing Hritik Roshan dance, did Amitab Bachan dance in the original. Another thing is when scene with attacking Rishi Kapoor and the End scene attacking Sanjy Dutt was carried away too easily...come on They are suppose to be Mafia and U just kill them so quickly.

I am actually glad that I seen this movie but I don't see any reason for calling it Agneepath, just give it any other name and this movie would have been OK...but by calling it Agneepath then it doesn't deserve more than 6 stars from me.

Worth it....Or Not ?
16 December 2011
This movie is definitely worth a watch. Tom Cruise did it again and delivered an action pack movie once more.

The Moscow scene was good, the Dubai scene was brilliant BUT the whole India scene in my opinion dragged the movie. And it didn't do much better to see Anil Kapoor make a clown out of himself in the 5 min. role he got.

I would have rated the movie 9 but the India scene dragged the movie and killed the High Pase that the movie had built up.

But still definitely worth a watch.

Go For it Guys...Tom Cruise still have it.

Bodyguard (I) (2011)
7/10
What to say...Hmmm
4 September 2011
Is this movie good: Yes .....is it very good: NO....is it on same same level as Dabangg: NO....is it better than Ready: YES...!!!

This movie is very simple, it doesn't have any big plots or thinking material, just a plain and simple movie. Its definitely not one of Salman Khans's best movie. So what save the movie? it must be The big hype around Salman Khan and the Songs.

I personally don't see Bollywood doing any improvement, they are now stealing stories and songs from South Indian movies and as we all know very few of these movies are good. Bodyguard is worth a watch, and much better than the Non-Brainer "Ready", but its not one of Salman Khan's best.

The Song "Teri Meri" is breath taking, beautiful song.

Singham (2011)
10/10
Singham is better than Dabangg
27 July 2011
What a movie, there is not one single moment the movie is dragging or the story get a bit boring. The movie is very fast paste and every single moment is enjoyable to watch.

Ajay Devgan and the main Villain is Top Notch...both of them does a very good job. The new girl is cute to look at, and she does do her acting OK.

The only minus in the movie is the songs, there is not one single song which touch ur heart, or U feel like listening to again.

For me Singham is so far the best movie of 2011, and a big thanks for everyone involved from Directing to writing to give us a Damn Good Movie.

Ready (2011)
3/10
READY or not READY....!!!
10 June 2011
The movie is not worth being Nr.2 top opener in India....but thats the fact, and its only cause of Salman Khan and his previous Dabangg.

Ready, has nothing new to offer, comedy is same same, and many times in the movie I could see Akshay Kumar doing this kind of role.

For me Anees Bazmi is a SH*T director, and made some of the most stupid movies, and Unfortunately the public loves these kind of movies, and that only encourage these kind of directors to keep making these kind of movies. Come on Public, we deserve better.

Salman Khan is not a bad actor, he has his own unique style which many of us love. BUT I cant stop thinking that Salman Khan is much better than making this kind of stupid movies...He should stay Dabanng Style.

Asin had nothing to offer in this movie, and the only reason she must have been casted must be to attract the South Indian market. And that has helped make this movie get a good opening.

Salman Khan is having his time now, so even if VEER did open next month it would have been Blockbuster Hit.

So a Blockbuster doesn't prove that a movie is good.

Jack Is Back.....
16 May 2011
I can imagine that many has been sitting with a feeling if the Pirates concept is going too far(Specially after POC nr.3) but thanks to a tight script this fourths installment of POC is definitely worth a watch.

I personally didn't like the 3rd one cause of too much talk and confusion, but this one lives up to the first two.

Jack Sparow and captain Barbosa are the scene stealer s, their chemistry is Top-Notch. Cruz and rest of the crew did very well.

And thank god that Orlanda Bloom and that Skinny girl is not in the movie.

Go for this movie, it got everything from comedy, action, adventure and the most important: Captain Jack Sparow.

Paisa Wasool....
20 April 2011
I went with basically no expectations for this movie, and was surprised how good it was. The first half of the movie is power packed and the second half is OK OK. the main hero did a very good job, I am sure he started a new trend in Punjab with his cloth style..Its been long time since a Hero who got the whole package is seen on the screen, and this Hero sure knows his moves.

Rest of the crew did their job very well...this movie is a Must see for both Punjabi and non-Punjabi.

The songs are very catchy and sure they are a big hit in Punjab ..this movie is pure Paisa Wasool..Enjoy it :)

Patiala House (2011)
9/10
Is this Movie worth a Watch ???
16 February 2011
I haven't written movie comments for years, but I feel like this movie deserves a review.

I am one of those guys who has been cursing Akshay Kumar the last 2 years for making stupid movies, and getting a lot of popularity for cheap scale movies which has done big on the Box Office screen....I never really understood why people are so fund of watching the same comedy movies over and over Until the comedy aspect dies in the movie and it gets painful to watch the movie example: Action Replay, Tees Mar Khan etc.

BUT PATIALA HOUSE made me think different regarding Akshay Kumar and his acting....this movie Akki played very well, and showed his acting skills and he deserves to get credit for that. The show stealer in this movie is Rishi Kapoor, he was perfect as Akki's father and made a powerful impact. Rest of the cast was good and acted very matured and it was good to see Dimple Kapadia again...Anushka Sharma is a delight to watch, every entry she makes the crowd smile, and I can see her one day becoming a top actress in Bollywood.

so Is this movie worth a One time Watch: YES and Is this movie worth a Two time Watch: YES

Go for this movie, its worth every single cent.

its not a Masterpiece...!!!
13 February 2010
I was reading the "Board" of MNK, and there was this view someone wrote, and I couldn't have written it better, but this is very honest writing: Now don't get me wrong, I am no SRK hater. I have seen MNIK and it's a strictly OK film and it is certainly not by any means a path breaking piece of cinema. In fact, in many places it's way too sentimental and over the top. The overall message the film is trying to deliver is admirable, but it could have been much more effectively delivered were it not packaged as a typical "K-JO" love story. And therin lies the film's biggest flaw. A film on a subject like the one tackled in "My Name is Khan" should NEVER have been attempted by Karan Johar who is Bollywood's equivalent of Richard Curtis. Could you imagine Curtis directing "The Lives of Others" or "The Counterfeiters"? Of course not.

A 10 out of 10 rating should only be reserved for cinematic masterpieces which MNIK certainly is NOT. This is exactly why IMDb ratings for Bollywood movies can never be taken seriously. In my opinion, MNIK is a 6 out of 10 film at best. Possibly 7 for SRK + Kajol acting.

what a Surprise
25 January 2010
First of all Iam not a Fardeen Khan or Sushmita Sen fan....and this movie was the last choice to see on a Boring day.

And what a surprise....This movie was actually good....Sushmita Sen acted so good, and looked so good and even Fardeen Khan was good in the movie.

BUT the scene stealer was the new girl....she is Beautiful...and her acting was top-notch....Iam sure we will see more of her in Bollwywood, and maybe she might be one of the Top ladies in Bollywood.

The story has been seen before BUT still this movie has soul, and that made it good...and SRK's role was actually very good.

all in all a Very good surprise, I went to the cinema for killing 2.5 hours and came out with a smile and a good experience.

Forget VEER, this movie is much better.

A good National Treasure 3 movie, but a disappointing Indiana Jones.
25 May 2008
Many people say: That when people saw the 3 first Indiana Jones movies it was when U were younger, and thats why U liked them better than this one. BUT I saw all of the Indiana Jones movies just 2 weeks before the release of the 4 th one. ANd what I missed in the last one was the RUSH, and Adrenaline Rush....I could 100% feel it in the First one, and 90% feel it in the 2nd, and 75% feel it in the 3rd...but the last one only 5%.

WHat went wrong.....was it Spielberg or Lucas ????? This fourth had lost the Indiana JOnes touch, I felt like I was watching National Treasure again....The real Indiana Jones magic wasn't in this movie, cause the rest of them U can feel it as soon as the movie starts, this one didn't have any good start.

I must admit, it was good to see Harrison Ford again, but Spielberg and Lucas didn't make justice to this movie.

and the critics....WTF are u all givin so good marks o the movie, are U getting commision for it....Its unbelievable to see how every newspaper is saying only good things about the movie, but the Public didn't get their expectations fullfiled.

Overall, a disappointing Indiana Jones Movie...but its would have been a good : National Treasure 3 movie.

Tashan (2008)
9/10
An Enjoyble movie.
27 April 2008
I read the critics reviews of the movie, and the report didn't scare me to watch it in the cinema...and Iam glad I saw it.

The movie is a well done movie, the story could have been stronger, but the effects and camera work is Super.

Akshay Kumar is the best in the movie, and specially the way the fighting scenes have been choreographed was a delight to watch.

Kareena Kapoor is good,but she is too thin now..it doesn't suit her to look so skinny just cause of a Bikini scene...but her acting was good.

Saif was good too..And Anil Kapoor was OK.

All in all, forget the critics and go watch the movie.

Jodhaa Akbar (2008)
10/10
The first Hit / Superhit of 2008
16 February 2008
Is Jodha Akbar worth a watch...It definitely is.

Its probably the most beautiful movie shot, every single detail is well made, and AG has put a good effort in the movie.

The acting is Superb from Hritik, and Aish and specially ILa Arun.

I don't know if the movie will be a Blockbuster, cause its a very expensive movie, but the lack of no big releases the movie will create a Hype and will be a winner all the way. And it sure deserves it.

The only negative thing is that its too long.

Go watch the movie, you will not regret it. Hritik is the next Superstar.

The Best Entry in 2007
29 December 2007
The way Aamir Khan enters the Screen before intermission, thats the best Entry of an Actor in 2007...It brought a warm smile :) Yes the film is very good, I loved Aamir Khan and the Kid but don't forget the Dad he did he job very good.

The movie is the best candidate for Awards in 2007, Bless U Aamir for making such a good and meaningfull movie.

To Shahruk Khan, U are a very good actor BUT stop making movies for Farah Khan that doesn't make U a better actor, stick to movies like Chak De India, which is more meaningFull.

Go Watch Tarre Zameen Par...U will Love it...:)

Saawariya (2007)
9/10
A sweet little love story with Beautiful environment
20 November 2007
Hats of for SLB for making a different kind of movie, its very different from the other movies he made, and yet not as good as the others, but Sawwaria is still a good movie to watch.

The love story is sweet and both Ranbir and Sonam Kapoor acted really well, and the direction was superb for the movie.

A good advice for you SLB, don't spend 4 years on your next project, we love to see your movies and do experiment but keep the story-line strong.

People who knows what real love is and have lost it, they will love the movie.

Saawaria is much better than Om SHanti Om (eventhough SRK is still the King of Bollywood).

Om Shanti Om is for the Front-seater, and Saawaria is for the Metro people..go see it in cinema you will love it.

The Golden Triangle of Bollywood
15 November 2007
What can I say except for the Golden Triangel of Bollywood has made the film a master-piece in superb acting.

Jaya Bachan Rani Mukerjee Konkona Sen

What a golden Triangle, all of the have excellent skills in acting and the whole movie is carried on these girls shoulders, and they have done a really good job.

Iam trying to understand why this movie was a flop in India, was it the critics or the public who didn't wanna see it ? Do the public only want Masala Movies with no meaning like Om SHanti Om (eventhough SRK is a brilliant actor). I don't wanna tell about the story but Laaga Chunari Mein Daag is a must see movie, and if you liked Saawaria and Om Shanti Om, I can guarantee that this movie has more dept to offer.

One of this years best movies in Drama is :Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, And thriller : Bhool Bhulayaa

The movie is OK good considered I haven't seen the original.
31 October 2007
The movie starts very good, and leaving the audience to expect a really good thriller, but it lacks on the thrill, and takes the story to many dimensions which is not needed.

Specially the songs, which I don't understand why they are forced in the movie, the songs are not bad but many of them were not needed in the specific situation.

Character wise: Javed Jaffrey is too cool, Om Puri and Anupam Kher does a very good job and are natural in the comic roles. Jimmy SHergill is OK, he doesn't have much scope, and the new actress needs some acting lessons, or this movie might be her last one.

The movie belongs to Anupam Kher and Om Puri...the movie is a good time-pass If you don't get annoyed by the loose ends :)

Not a Bad movie, but still not needed.
31 August 2007
If you don't compare RGV Sholay to the the Sholay then you might like the movie it has its ups and downs.

First half of the movie was quite interesting, the characters are well played by Ajay Devgan and Prashant Raj which was an OK surprice and specially Nisha Kothari who surprised me by her good acting, and she looked too good.

Now to the main character in the movie Babban, Amitabh sure did live up to the Bad evil character, when you walk out of the cinema you will still remember him.

Will the movie be remembered...I think not, its a one time movie and thats it. The second half of the movie was too slow paced and many places the emotion scenes were soul-less and boring.

The Mehbooba song was made really good, and Urmila sure did look hot.

RGV a good suggestion to you, don't make anymore remakes specially not the classics, I don't think your name as an Director will be criticized much cause You are not a great director.You made some good gangster movies but many flop Horror movies. You are and will always be an average Director.

Partner (2007)
10/10
Govinda and Salman creates a Blast on the screen
21 July 2007
I wont tell about the story, which u can read all over the internet.

But the movie and acting is superb..U cant say this movie belong to only Salman Khan or Govinda, together they make a Superb blast and funny-packed "Hatke" se comedy.

2 superb comedies released this year so far is Partner and Bheja Fry, and doesn't matter if they are copies of other French, American movies, they still rock, and not to forget the songs which is superb.

Salman Bhai and Govinda Bhai are great, and cant wait till Partner nr.2 will be released.

Katrina Kaif is good and Lara Dutta is OK, but she still need to loose some weight and tune op her acting.

The Movie is a winner all the way, a true Box-office Hit, and maybe Superhit.

Overall A OK movie but will be forgotten soon.
1 January 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Aryan is a about a Boxers life how he stops boxing cause of the family situation and finds out how hard it is to get a job if U don't have a education. Mostly the point in the movie is that if You have a dream then Go For It, doesn't matter what it takes.

Aryan is not a great movie, but a good movie to watch a Friday night. The movie has nothing great to offer than its stylish, ordinary songs but good acting from specially Sohail Khan. Sneha is OK, but still need a lot of acting classes, cause Bollywood is packed with Beauties but not talent.

Aryan IS NO ROCKY, and don't even try to compare it cause you will regret watching Aryan , cause Rocky is a master piece.

****SPOILER**** There is Specially one scene in Aryan which is touching when Sohail Khans Neighbor goes to Sneha's family to tell Sneha that the Noicy Aryan is all quite all day long, No Music or TV or Laughing, the only thing she hears is Aryan crying. This scene is great and small scenes like this make the movie good.

The Villain in the movie is good as well, don't know his name but he did a lot of training to do this role.

Overall an OK movie and I give it a 8 cause of a good attempt.

Rocky Balboa (2006)
10/10
Back to The Roots,and we Love You Rocky...!!!!
23 December 2006
Is the film worth watching ? Is Sly doing a good job ? Is the soul of Rocky kept in the movie ?

YES YES YES

Rocky Balboa is a beautiful movie and most of all Sly has captured the the soul of the first Rocky movie and put it into Rocky 6. As we all know Sly is a good actor and keeps the Rocky character well balanced and takes us through the first Rocky era with Emotions and breath taking action/training.

The only thing that is missing in the movie is the Theme song from Eye of the Tiger, Hey Rocky how can you forget that :)

Rocky is a legend and will always be a legend and we all know it.

One final thing Go Watch the Movie...its worth every single second.
