All the Best

Shujath — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:22:50 +0000

Rohit Shetty’s fetish for car porn just got worse, his gags have become a lot more sillier and predictable – yet All the Best makes you laugh-out-loud for a satisfactory duration of its run-time enough to make you leave the theatre with a smile on your face. This one’s a very traditional comedy of errors (supposed [...]

London Dreams

When I was glancing around reviews for this film I came across many people complaining about how this is an awful “rip-off” of Amadeus.

It’s not very often that one gets to see characters portrayed with who you can identify with so closely.

The first question which comes to my mind is this – Unless you are completely paralyzed from head to toe or you are trying to save the world from “The Matrix” why would you want to be plugged to a chair for most part of your existence while a made-to-order surrogate robot actually lives out [...]
