A blog is a personal online diary maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary and description of events. The term blog came from the word "web log" which was coined by John Barger in 1997. Peter Merhloz broke the word web log into the phrase "we blog" in 1999 and then the word became popular as both a noun and verb. Everyday bloggers are writing about 200K posts around the world on various topics ranging from personal diaries to world polictics. Blogging has become so popular in India that our Bollywood actors have also started unveiling their thoughts through their personal blogs.

Aurangzeb - Kingship knows no Kinship
Aurangzeb - Kingship knows no Kinship Though the film is named after the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb it has nothing to do with Aurangzeb. Most of us have heard the line "Absolute power corrupts absolutely." This movie is about the people intoxicated by power & engaged in unlawful activates. Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have. Aurangzeb is an action crime thriller which starts from Gurgaon a small city grows into big city in just fifteen years & all the credi READ MORE Tags: Aurangzeb Comments: 0 
Shootout At Wadala - Entertaining Action Movie
Entertaining Action Movie In Shootout At Wadala what unfolds is a hard hitting story of people who live by death. The killing fields of Bombay where gang wars, encounters, extortion and murder are a way of life. The underworld saga in Bollywood continues with filmmaker Sanjay Gupta's Shootout At Wadala Shootout At Wadala is an action thriller that depicts the crime scenario in Mumbai during the 70s and 80s.

Attahasa Kannada Movie is Super
Kannada movies earlier had a certain inimitable class during the times of Rajkumar and Vishnuvardhan - top class actors. Of course, nobody can forget the likes of Shankar Nag. The late 80s and 90s brought in a significant creative angle with the inception of fresh "directors" like Kashinath and Upendra. There are, of course, offbeat filmmakers like Girish Kasaravalli. Yograj Bhat did come in as a whiff of fresh air, but again, none of his other films seem to have made it as big as Mungaru Mal READ MORE Tags: Attahasa, kannada movie review Comments: 0 
Talaash - Clever & Classy Murder Mystery
Talaash - Clever & Classy Murder Mystery I really enjoy watching murder mysteries in movies or reading such stories because they find interesting the research of the hero looking for the murderer. After watching countless Bollywood brainless entertaining superhero movies, I will not be wrong to say that Talaash is one of the most refreshing films of the year. Story : Loneliness is a very powerful emotion, it can destroy or make people stronger, but there is a very thin line betwee READ MORE Tags: Talaash Movie Review Comments: 0 
Son Of Sardar - Senseless Comedy.
Son Of Sardar - Senseless Comedy. Comedy & action combined together is a hit formula & the South remakes seem to be providing that to the Bollywood film makers. In fact, every producer, director & actor wants to attempt a remake. After remaking Tamil super hit Singham, Ajay Devgan is back with Son of Sardar. This film is the remake of Telugu film Maryada Ramanna, For a Long Time we have been witnessing Comedies which are brainless & Son Of Sardar is one such movie which entertains the READ MORE Tags: Son Of Sardar Comments: 0 
Barfi - Modern Masterpiece Movie
Barfi - Modern Masterpiece Movie From past few years we are always supposed to see Bollywood mindless Comedy movies leaving our thinking brains at home. After long time it was really great to watch a Hindi film which has finally taken the jump from mindless entertainer and started dealing with more in depth emotional subjects. Barfi is a very rare combination of art and entertainment I have seen very few movies that make us laugh & cry at the same time & definitely Barfi is one among th READ MORE Tags: Barfi Comments: 0 
Ek Tha Tiger - Good Entertaining Action Movie
Ek Tha Tiger - Good Entertaining Action Movie After Wanted, Dabangg, Ready & Bodyguard another Rs 100 plus crore club & Eid release movie of Salman Khan is Ek Tha Tiger. This is a good romantic thriller that compliments the spirit of this festive season. Content wise, the film offers nothing new but it provides enough entertainment to keep the audience engrossed. Many scenes in the movie defy logic, but who cares. The masses need entertainment and there is plenty of it. Ek Tha Tiger is READ MORE Tags: Ek Tha Tiger Comments: 0 
Bol Bachchan : Only Entertainment
Bol Bachchan : Only Entertainment In recent time illogical comedies had good runs at the box office because people don't have patience to wait for anything; they want every thing instant even the humor. People want entertainment which can make them laugh instantly, that's the reason movies like Bodyguard, Ready, Goolmaal, Housefull are easily joining the 100 crore club.

Rowdy Rathore - Mass Entertainer
Rowdy Rathore - Mass Entertainer I am not sure whether it's a cultural exchange or bollywood is short of good original scripts, but from last few years South Indian movies are being successfully remade. Films like Ghajini, Wanted, Ready, Bodyguard & now Rowdy Rathore are all south remakes. Salman Khan is the biggest beneficiary of Hindi remakes of South Indian blockbusters; With Rowdy Rathore Akshay Kumar wants to follow Salman's footsteps.

Department - Fails in Every Department
Department - Fails in Every Department I was eagerly waiting to watch Ram Gopal Varma's Department for several reasons, Firstly for favorite actors Mr Amitabh Bachchan & Sanjay Dutt, when these legendary actors are in the lead roles; expectations from the movie are obviously very high. Secondly RGV is a master of underworld movies like Satya, Company, Sarkar etc. But when those expectations are not met it comes as a huge disappointment, same happened with Department. After watching thi READ MORE Tags: Department Comments: 1 
Vicky Donor - Simply Superb
Vicky Donor - Simply Superb I can't remember when was the last time I watched a good hindi comedy movie that made me laugh for few hours. These days it is actually quite rare that I go out to the movies, and even more rare that I review a movie. After watching trailers of Vicky Donor on television & reading few reviews in newspapers I decided to see this movie with very few expectations but in the end I had a pleasant surprise.

Worth watching only in the 3D format
Upendra and Ramya's Katari Veera Surasundarangi is the biggest-ever 3D film made in Kannada till date. With spectacular visuals and Uppi's one-liners, the audience ignore the fact that the story is unimpressive. Also, the Golden Girl has come out with flying colours in her classy avatars. Story: --------------- Upendra (Upendra) enters the hell after being killed by a don (Ajay). He creates furore at the Yama Loka, as he fearlessly wins the Yamadharmraja over an argument.

Hail Robinhood Pandey!
There was a time when masala action flicks were the order of the day. Such films were regularly churned out and it had a dedicated audience who wholeheartedly endorsed this kind of cinema. However, as time passed, the number of such films began to decline drastically. But still the love for these flicks hasn't died down and we won't mind watching them once in a while. Aamir Khan's Ghajini re-popularized the trend followed by Salman Khan's Wanted. And Sallu is now back with another sureshot ma READ MORE Tags: review, dabangg, fenil, admanya Comments: 7 
SURPRISE of the Season!
It's now an accepted fact that small films getting churned out at regular intervals have lots to entertain and give a good time than the biggies. To this list, one can now add one more flick and that is 'The Film Emotional Atyachar'. The film is as unusual and weird as its title but manages to give a paisa vasool experience! The story of the movie: Vikram Jaiswal (Mohit Ahalawat) is all set to sign a deal with Mr Khanna (Nasser Abdullah).

A FAMILY in an UNUSUAL Situation!
Lets one get one thing straight-We Are Family isn't a 'copy' of or 'lifted' from Stepmom as is believed by some. It's an 'official adaptation' of the Hollywood flick and due credit is given to its writers as well. With a brilliant plot in one hand and powerhouse actors on the other, the makers could have easily come up with a classic. However, We Are Family suffers from the same problem that some recent films helmed by debutant directors faced-an execution which just isn't upto the mark.

JOHN ABRAHAM all the way!
We all have our own wishes and desires and patiently wait for the day when they will all come true. We slowly and steadily also work towards fulfilling them. But what if one day you discover that you have just few days to live? What will be the state of our near and dear ones? How will they survive once we have left for heavenly abode? And not to forget, what about our dreams that we had patiently nurtured over the years?

These Darlings dont impress!
The makers of Hello Darling were surely at an advantage as their film dealt with sexual harassment at workplaces, something which is common in today's time and also not to forget, there are handful of films which have tackled this issue. Unfortunately, while the writing is impressive, the execution is damn messy. Result: another disappointing flick from Mukta Arts!

Born to FIGHT & FLY!
Pradeep Sarkar carved a niche with his directorial debut Parineeta but his reputation took a beating with his second venture, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag. That was one of the two reasons as to why everyone is so skeptical about Lafangey Parindey. The second reason being, Lafangey Parindey seems so different from Sarkar's kind of cinema. The promos showed Mumbai, its gritty streets, chawls, boxing, dance and skating...something which is surely isn't his forte. But surprise! Lafangey Parindey turns READ MORE Tags: movie review, lafangey parindey, fenil seta, admanya Comments: 4 
SATIRE at its Best!
Farmers' suicide has been a grave problem since past many years and no individual, commission or government has able to put an end or at least reduce it. Peepli [Live] is a story based on this burning issue. However, the treatment is simple and a major part of the film is light-hearted and comical. However, at the same time, the goings-on at several places terribly move you. Achieving such a fine balance between the two is difficult but debutant director Anusha Rizvi succeeds in doings so ver READ MORE Tags: movie review, peepli live, fenil seta, admanya Comments: 10 
No one can HELP this film!
Horror has always been an intriguing genre worldwide and Bollywood is no exception. While the West regularly comes up with interesting spooky films, our cinema hasn't been much successful in this regard. Few horror films are made and fewer work. Help works but unfortunately only in parts. The plot is brilliant but the execution and some loopholes in the narrative spoil the show!

Adventures of a Matchmaker!
We all have tried to hook up two of our friends or at least someone has tried to hook us with someone, which most of the times fails miserably. But still there's a matchmaker in most of us and this is especially to be seen in a marriage-centric country like India. Hence, Aisha reeks of a strong relatable factor and the makers and writers had won half of the battle by choosing a script like this one. Besides, they got some supremely fresh and talented actors on board and added some beautiful m READ MORE Tags: movie review, aisha, fenil seta, admanya Comments: 4 
A Don with a Heart of Gold!
Most of the gangster films that we have seen in Bollywood have all been inspired from real men of underworld. And when makers of Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai give a supposed indication that the film is a kind of biopic on the 2 famous dons, one might wonder-what will this film show that we haven't seen or don't know? And as expected, Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai is to a great extent a been-there-done-that affair.

Sachin Tichkule AALA RE!
The Akshay Kumar-Priyadarshan combo has worked wonders in the past and hence a lot was expected from Khatta Meetha. Although it surely engrosses in those 2.30 hours, the film falters as it is promoted as a comedy and satire and both of which the film is not! Moreover, the film has a nice story to tell but doesn't offer anything new. It throws light on the corruption that is rampant everywhere, something that is seen umpteen number of times in our cinema. Nevertheless, Akshay's performance and READ MORE Tags: movie review, khatta meetha, consumer admanya Comments: 2 
What a waste of a golden chance!
The Kashmir issue is the most persistent and complicated issue ever since India got independence, especially after 1989. Naturally any crisis catches the eyes of filmmakers and Kashmir problem was no exception. However, many films failed to give a true account of the problem and at such a point, Rahul Dholakia comes up with Lamhaa which promises to present the 'untold story of Kashmir'. To an extent, the storyline is untold at least on celluloid but those closely or even remotely following th READ MORE Tags: movie review, lamhaa, consumer admanya, fenil Comments: 6

We all wait for that one chance which'll change our life for the better. Some may get the chance easily while some don't inspite of trying their level best. At such a point, a person might give up or he/she may the hatke or the less taken and maybe the immoral route to succeed.

Let's Break Free and Fly in the Sky!
We all have certain likes, interests and capacity. We would like to excel professionally in a field of our interest. However, most of the times, parental expectations, societal norms and such other pressures compel us to nip our wishes in the bud and instead alter our career which might not suit our taste. Udaan tells a similar tale of a teen who is forced to work and study against his wishes and how he breaks free from the shackles.

India's KILLING FIELDS!
This year, two thorny disputes of India reared their ugly head full throttle-one, the honour killings and the other, the Naxalite movement. After the CRPF officer's massacre at Dantewada in April and the Jnaneshwari Express accident, the Red movement has become the most burning issue of our country.

A DELAYED Fairtytale!
It's funny how a film looses sheen if it takes too much time to hit the screens. Even if it boasts of bankable stars, viewers are not interested to watch such delayed and dated films. Very surprising! It can be a good film after all! Can a well-made film turn into a pathetic one if it doesn't get a timely release? No will be the obvious answer but Milenge Milenge is an exception!

A film you wont HATE!
LOVE! The four-letter word as well as the feeling that everyone must experience! A strange phenomenon where even the most realistically thinking person throws away his practical thought out of the window and starts living in a dreamy world. Expectations reach skyhigh. And in some unfortunate cases, when all the dreams get shattered, the person in love feels like a fool. Normally, in Bollywood, heroes are shown falling for that cute girl and suffering a terrible heartbreak and its repercussion READ MORE Tags: movie review, i hate luv storys, consumer admanya Comments: 14 
Nothing REVOLUTIONARY about it!
A remake has to be better or more impactful or at least equally powerful as the first part. Sadly, Krantiveer-The Revolution fails to reach the level of its predecessor, Krantiveer. There's nothing fresh and hard-hitting about the film although it deals with lots of topical issues. The story of the movie: Roshni (Jahan Bloch), daughter of the fierce and legendary Pratap Narayan Tilak (Nana Patekar) has inherited not only her father's courage but also the spirited lingo and indomitable styl READ MORE Tags: movie review, krantiveer-the revolution, consumer admanya Comments: 4 
'WATERED' Version of RAMAYANA!
The Ramayana is easily the oldest and the best instance of the battle of good v/s evil. Adapting the epic into modern times is of course a daunting task. One error and the entire work would fall like a pack of cards. Unfortunately, that's what happens with the film Raavan. The makers did a huge mistake and that is, they tampered with the original concept. In Raavan, Rama isn't good and Raavan isn't bad...both have shades of grey. Fair enough since this is 'modern Ramayana'. However, Raavan is READ MORE Tags: movie review, raavan, admanya, fenil seta Comments: 10 
Ek Film Jo Dimaag Khiska De!
Partho Ghosh is back after a hiatus with yet another dud. This time, he comes up with Ek Second Jo Zindagi Badal De, an utterly rubbish and nonsensical film! Straightaway lifted from the film Sliding Doors, the flick just doesn't make any sense even though the concept was innovative and new for Bollywood. The laughable climax and Sunil Singh's performance ruins things even more!

POLITICS...and BEYOND!
The present-day Indian political scenario is infested with corrupted netas and mantris with goondaism, rigged elections and dynastic partiality a regular feature of it. Raajneeti deals with all this and much more. However, let me break the myth that Raajneeti is not only for the intelligentsia or for serious cinema lovers. This is a complete entertaining film and those having no interest in politics will also love the goings-on.

Why didnt they name it 'KATI PATANG'?!
When talented personalities like Hrithik Roshan, Rakesh Roshan and Anurag Basu come together, you expect nothing short of an outstanding film considering their awesome track record. Expectations are bound to be skyhigh even if you are the one who go for any flick with negligible expectations. Hence, it is really feels disappointed to know that Kites fails and that too very badly in meeting the expectations. In other words, Kites is a turkey!

Two Little Feet. One Long Journey!
Adapting a worldwide renowned film is a risk. Not only does the filmmaker have to retain the charm of the original, he also has to make sure that the adapted version suits the capabilities of the audience of his country. Priyadarshan's Bumm Bumm Bole, adapted from Majid Majidi's classic Children Of Heaven tries its level best to raise to the level of the original and succeeds. Also it is beautifully Indianised to make sure the desi audiences likes it! This weekend, this seems to be the ideal READ MORE Tags: movie review, bumm bumm bole, fenil seta, admanya Comments: 9 
It's NOT a WONDERFUL film!
Sometimes writers come up with really very brilliant ideas but the director fail to do justice. It's A Wonderful Afterlife falls in this category. The issue and idea that the film dealt with could have made it one of the rocking entertainers of the year. Just think, a widow killing all those who have been bad to her daughter...thrilling!

Just few days back the motormen of Mumbai local trains had gone on a strike paralyzing the entire city. As the mayhem and madness was going on, my mind drifted to the classic strikes that have occurred before in the world and I was reminded of the funny shoe factory incident.

They clothed the city and the city in return stripped them off-this is the tagline of the film and suits it to the T. The mill workers worked in the mills honestly for generations but after the mills were closed post the spat between the union and the government, the workers were unemployed and had a terrible existence.

What a waste of opportunity!
Teaching is a noble profession but sadly the nobility is getting worn out. Commercialization has entered this field and the teachers and principals have to adopt ways to sustain which are no longer noble. Paathshaala touches this grave topic but unfortunately, fails to do any justice to it. The intentions of the makers and writers were, well, noble, but the goings-on look completely unbelievable.

Scary but disappointing!
When it comes to sequels, Ram Gopal Verma seems to follow a strategy. The first part would be much better than the second one, with happy endings and all. In the sequel, most of the main characters will die with the flick having a sad climax. He did this in Sarkar and Sarkar Raj and does the same with the sequel of Phoonk-Phoonk 2! Phoonk 2 has ample scary moments (esp in the 2nd half) and that's where it scores over Phoonk (which was anything but scary).
