Film: God Tussi Great Ho ***
A fun film to watch even if you have seen the original 'Bruce Almighty'. People who hate to watch senti films, this is just for you minus the inane and indecent gestures in current fun films.

Film: Singh is King **1/2
A laugh riot specially for the punjabi knowing crowd. The second half is a bit of a drag but if you love the genre of films it is ok. For serious film lovers you could give this film a miss without missing much.

Film: Kismat Konnection **
Watchable for people who enjoy all kinds of films but wish there was more connection here and less was left to kismat. Shahid looks great and Juhi is her usual chirpy self, but the leading lady definitely needs to build onher image and looks.

Film: Bhootnath ***
A film that children will enjoy, even though a bit more of fun thrown in would have made it more welcome. Those accompanying children to theatres will also like the movie. The highlight of the film is the song with kids doing a macho song so often done by the hero and heroines. Bhootnath is a good film and would have done fine without Sharukh Khan, after all the big B with a smart kid and ever refreshing Juhi are enough.

Film: Krazzy 4 **1/2
Suresh Menon, Rajpal Yadav, Irrfan Khan, Arshad Warsi, Juhi Chawla are all good. This is one movie that one expects to laugh to the last breath but it is a much more serious film and is not an out an out laugh riot like Welcome. The positive thing about this film is that it is a rather serious film with some laugh lines, but the problem is that people are getting used to nonsensical but fun films like welcome. So the movie gets mixed up a bit. However Rakhi Sawant and Shah Rukh Khan are well used and for many these may be more of an attraction than the film itself. And last but not the least Hrithik Roshan's 2 minute dance act at the end is cool.

Film: Jodha Akbar ***
A film that children might not enjoy. As for adults there are some great expressions on display from Hritik, Aishwarya and Illa Arun. Dont go looking for the magic of Mughal-e-Azam. The language gets a bit tough for the 'Aam Janta' to understand and above all dont expect the story of 'Akbar the Great'. The story here is of a young Jalluddin before he became Akbar - so the movie rightly claims.

Film: Welcome ***
Finally an almost clean comedy of errors. No packing of double meaning words here, only a few necessary ones. A fun film you can watch with your children. Ofcourse please leave your analytical and critical mind behind. Its a party enjoy and dont ask uncomfortable questions.

Film: Taare Zamin Par ****1/2
An extraordinary film. A must watch film for families with growing children. Aamir could have been expected to do nothing less. His choice of cast is exellent and so also the emotive capture of moments that remain etched in your memory. By now most people would have seen it but for those who have not please do so. You will laugh a little and cry a lot in this movie.

Film: Goal **1/2
An entertaining film to some extent with a bit of storyline. Do not expect a 'Chak De India' here and definitely not a 'Lagaan'. Kids and moms are liking the film so it may turn out to be a hit after all.

Film: Om Shanti Om ***1/2
Sharukh Khan is as entertaining as ever and Deepika is not only beautiful but also a good actress. Shahrukh's much hyped abs are hardly a hindrance to the drama and even though he looks ugly in the promos, in the movie he is fabulous as ever.

Film: Saawariya *
The lone star you see here is for the sets that are wonderful, but how long can you admire a set. This film is more like a painting or a poem, that is boring for the average person. What was Sanjay Leela Bhansali thinking, experimenting with our patience? Rani Mukherjee is the brightest spot in this painting and wish was given more screen time. As for Salmaan, he is hardly there.

Film: Jab We Met ****
'Jab We Met' should actually be named 'Jab we Parted'. The movie is a romance to the hilt and also fun in parts. The songs are very hummable. Saahid's performace matches with Kareena's and the chemistry is worth a dekho. Sad they are no longer together. An unexpectedly good film.

Film: Chak De India ***1/2
Sharukh Khan is certainly the badshah of bollywood and only he could take such a huge risk and make it through. A very unusual film that keeps you engaged throughout and warms your heart and fills it with hope. Hope, that stars like Sharukh are willing to take risks to inspire a nation and hope, that this will pay its dividends sooner than later. If an actor can take a risk for India so can we. So India Chak De!

Film: Partner ***1/2
Govinda ala re! The man is back and minus his cheap antics. Partner is a fun film that does not jarr with songs like sarkayi liyo khatiya and tujhko mirchi lagi. Even Salmaan is more in controll. It surely is a good copy of Hitch and very watchable.

Film: Cheeni Kum ****
Amitabh looks as Handsome as ever perhaps more so. The romance looks genuine and its only after the first half that the age gap appears between Tabu and big B, that too only which the characters reapeatedly harp on it. A good realistic film portraying the modern times.

Film: Bheja Fry ***
What a bheja fry the central character is? A unique film and therefore a must watch. Its unbelievable how a man can fry your brains literally.

Film: Dor ***1/2
Nagesh Kukunoor has surely progressed as a film maker. His stories were always original and so was the sensitivity, but now he has learnt the beauty of cinema and that serious cinema need not be dull and dreary. He surely is out of his blues to be able to make such serious cinema without looking pathetic and poor. It's a must watch for everyone, even youngsters even though the subject is not a much fun as Iqbal.

Film: Dhoom II ****1/2
Hrithik has done it again and proved that he is really a superhero. We did not miss Cool Dude John so much as we were happy with the replacement. Abhishek looked as cool as ever and so did Ash and Bips. Uday is as lovable as he can get with his antics. The stunts are world class and so are Hrithik's disguises. If you haven't seen the movie g get yourself a ticket and take the whole family. The much hyped kiss is a damper so don't worry for the kids.

Film: Don ****
We did not remember much of the old Don and perhaps therefore loved the twists and turns of the movie and even the characterisation. The story has been changed from what we remember. The indication is very clear, don't see the old movie before you go to the hall. You will enjoy to see the changes in the plot from your fading memory. We loved the ending too. Even the songs that remain have been changed so don't get nostalgic about the old wine and just enjoy the new concoction.

Film: Lage Raho Munnabhai ****
Just the movie we need in these times. A great message told in a great manner. Munnabhai has lived up to its expectations and more, as it has added a great message to itself without sounding didactic. We love the simplicity of munnabhai and also the humour of the film, and yet we carry back home a message on non-violence and Gandhism. Delhi has declared it tax free, and we believe the film deserves it. Lage raho bollywod, way to go! You did it with Rang De Basanti and now with this film.

Film: Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna **1/2
Not for your kids, even though they may insist on seeing the movie what with Karan Johar's track record. A very mature topic. Could have been handled in a more mature manner. The soul of the main love story is missing. Go and see the movie if you must but do not expect anything more than a superb Amitabh in the film.

Film: Omkara ***
A rustic film that could please some of you and not excite some others , but most people will agree that the film is decent if not great. Saif is the USP of the film. For those that have read Othello, be prepared to expect a different kind of Othello altogether, in the sense that a war hero is pretty much different from a political goon.

Film: Superman ****
Even though some critics seem to believe that the new superhero does not match up to his older version, the movie itself is well made and for a first time actor, we believe our new superman is pretty good. For the Indian crowd Krrish is nowhere near this original super guy. If you mange to see this film in an Imax theater with 3D you are going to love it better.

Film: Krrish ***
Great movie for your kids. It has some sleek action and animation too, but do not expect the greatness of Koi Mil Gaya in terms of novelty and great acting. The superhero part is smaller than we expected, rather it is more a love story with a bit of supernatural power thrown in. The Indian Superhero is yet to arrive.

Film: Fanaa ***
Good movie, with Kajol playing blind for half the movie and doing it well. Best part was that there was no bitterness involved with being blind instead there were some tastefull and light humour on being blind. Blind seemed so normal thanks to the movie. Aamir excels as usual but if he had been allowed to focus more on the terrorist bit than the lover bit , this movie would have reached the hieghts of his earlier films. Good film but definitely not one of the best from Aamir.

Film: Da Vinci Code ****
Superb movie! Haven't seen a better one for ages. Not having read the book was surely not a disadvantage. A good thriller and certainly not obviously offensive given the storyline. Even a christian can enjoy this movie for he know it is fiction , and we did not need that forcibly inducted disclaimer, to believe that.

Film: Poseidon **
The movie lacks soul as it has action alone and not much of a human story to tell. A few great shots but not enough to salvage the film. Very avoidable.

Film: Malamaal Weekly ***
Rural humour that is not vulgar and is very realistic. A fun film film with an underlying sadness. A different treatment and feel to this movie of priyadarshan. Not larger than life heroes here but a good collection of the best acting skills in the industry today.

Film: Rang de Basanti ****
Great story, great relevance as even today MIG planes crash and a great parrallel to the revolutionaries like Bhagat singh. Performances and the rythmn of the film are great.

Film: BluffMaster **1/2
Old story with a great new twist and enjoyable too. Wish Priyanka was more visible in the film. Ritesh has once again proved that he can fit a role without fanfare.

Film: Home Delivery **
Slow Movie. Looks like Aishwarya is proving unlucky for Vivek. None of his films seem to catch as much attention as his affair with Ash or his Tsunami Effort.

Film: Maine Gandhi Ko Nahi Mara ***
Good film! A simple story with a lot of message in the last dialogue. Anupam Kher once again proves his acting skills and so does Urmilla. A serious but interesting film and not very depressing. Even kids can watch this film.

Film: Kyon Ki... **1/2
Ok film but end is rather depressing. Can be counted as one of the better films of Salmaan and Kareena in recent times. Not at all as typcast as the promos would have us believe.

Film: Garam Masala ***
Sleekly made film with lovely sets and beautiful girls. The film is funny and a good time pass but it simply lacks a story and logic. It is much worse than a David Dhawan film as far as logic and story go. Looks like that story parts got edited out and Priyadarshan was probably too tired to bother.

Film: Hanuman **
It is better to wait for this film to be screened on your TV. Save that trip to the Halls for the next great movie to hit your neighbourhood. The start is interesting but needs a lot of Quality improvement to reach Disney Standards.

Film: Iqbal ****
Great movie, a must see with your kids. Show them this movie and see how they appreciate your effort. An art film that is interesting and heart warming.

Film: No Entry ***
It's a humorous and sexy movie. A fun film for the married and mature people, and surely for the front benchers; given the skin show throughout the film. This film has no entry for children for the very fact that there is minimal dressing and an adult topic. Someone should have told us it is an adult film. Otherwise its surely fun.

Film: Chocolate ****
A sweet twist to a regular Indian Movie. Great movie, a must see. Sleek movie with genuine suspense. Must be one of the best efforts from bollywood.

Film: Maine Payaar Kyun Kiya **1/2
Maine Payaar Kyun Kiya from David Dhawan is funny but somewhere the spirit is missing. Sush looks great and Katrina looks pretty but must improve her acting skills. Looking cute can't take her far. Sohail is busy copying Salman's boistrous ways and Salman is as good as he gets in comedies. Time pass with no meaning!

Film: Mangal Pandey ****
There was a lot of expectations from Mangal Pandey - the Rising. The songs were already a hit, but critics tore the film apart review after review. But surprise! surprise! We loved the film. It is very well made specially in the light of a small incident in Indian History. Even though Amisha Patel is in the film she has not much to contribute. Rani Mukherjee has a better role and looks good. Aamir excels and so do the other actors in the film. A film that covers all relevant deatils of the time without making it appear cliched.

Film: Sarkar ****1/2
Sarkar is true to the story it follows and the Godfather and his son are superb. A must see for everyone who hates wasting his time watching meaningless capers that Bollywood throws up. Great performances and great adaptation to the Indian scenario.

Film: Virudh **1/2
Directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, Virudh features Sharmila Tagore, Amitabh Bachchan, John Abraham and MTV VJ Anusha Dandekar. This is a sensitive film and has been appreciated by many.

Film: Dus ***
Dhoom seems to have triggered off a lot of cool movies. This one is really cool as you may have guessed from its title song. We surely can give Hollywood a run for their money; we have copied everything we could in this film. Surely some unexplained things are there but nevertheless a good watch. There are Dus bahanes for watching this film beginning with cool dude Abhishek and cooler Shilpa.

Film: Waqt **1/2
It's a humorous and emotional movie at the same time. The fun loving folk can go see the movie in the first half and the weepy grandmas can go watch the movie in the second half. Those that love life the way it is - Kabhi khushi kabhi gum - then they can actually enjoy the whole stuff.

Film: Page 3 ***
Even though Madhur Bhandarkar has himself been embroiled in the casting couch controversy, he admits to its existence in his film. This is a film worth the watch for its sincererity and subtlety and the interest it arouses. An art film, that is not boring.
