Kambakkht Ishq explores the relationship between two individuals as different from each other as chalk and cheese. No matter how many times they are pushed together, there are only fireworks… no fire. Viraj Shergill (Akshay Kumar) is a swashbuckling stuntman in Hollywood who lives by the mantra ”women are only good for two things… making love & making love” Simrita Rai (Kareena Kapoor) is a firebrand who is more than able to stare down the most arrogant male with her caustic wit and sardonic tongue… he firm belief ”there’s no such thing as love”. So what happens when the two people who hate each other the most meet at Simrita’s best friend Kamini’s and Viraj’s brother Lucky’s wedding?
…a wedding that both Viraj and Simrita are violently opposed to and desperate to stop. Sparks fly, accidents occur, And both are thrown together in the most absurd, hilarious situation until one dramatic twist of fate binds the two together in a manner that they could have never ever even dreamed of in their wildest fantasies. The battle of the sexes in on. Who is going to throw the punches and who is going to blow the kisses?
Viraj (Akshay Kumar)
Viraj is a successful Hollywood stuntman who loves women but thinks that commitment and marriage are words that should not exist in the dictionary. He gets paid the big bucks for doing what the heroes can’t do and lives a lavish life. Women, parties, and the adrenalin rush during a stunt…these are the highs in life. Women exist only to have a good time with. Play and play well… but why take the game to its conclusion? …After all there are numerous playmates on this extensive playground.
Simrita (Kareena Kapoor)
Simrita is a hardened feminist, part time supermodel and an aspiring surgeon who does not see the need to have a man in her life. She believes that all men are no good losers. Life’s experiences have taught her that men are just not worth the effort. To top it all Donald Trump and every other man is getting married AGAIN! That just proves her point. She has a great career, and soon she will become successful. Who needs men?
Kamini (Amrita Arora)
She is ditzy, innocent and beautiful. She in one of the top lingerie models but her dream is to get married to a man who loves her. She wants the whole package… a loving husband, cute kids and a white picket fence house.
Lucky (Aftab Shivdasani)
He is Viraj’s younger brother, he is genuine and loveable. He has been protected his entire life by Viraj and isn’t as hard and practical as Viraj is. Madly in love with Kamini, he wants to marry her. But that is one thing that Viraj is against.
GAME SET …BATTLE BEGINS

Ek Se Bure Do - Movie Review
By admin | April 23, 2009
Another terrible film by Arshad Warsi, Rajpal Yadav, Natassha, Tusha; Director: Tarique Khan; Rating one out of five.
Time and again one comes across a statement that “this film has been made for single screen audiences in smaller towns and cities”. Well, no audience should be subjected to a movie like this.
Simply put, “Ek Se Bure Do” is a terrible movie. Arshad Warsi and Rajpal Yadav are the two ‘bure log’ (bad people) in the film and honestly, it must have been embarrassing for them to be a part of a movie which doesn’t make any sense whatsoever from the first to the last frame.
The film is said to be a comedy but there is not even a single scene that makes you laugh.
Problems with “Ek Se Bure Do” are aplenty with the biggest being that there is no storyline whatsoever. The director would struggle if asked to give a two line synopsis of the film.
The film has a treasure hunt as the central theme but not once in the film does one see anyone going after the treasure.
Arshad Warsi and Rajpal Yadav are visibly uncomfortable with the terrible state that they must have been in while working in the film - something which reflects in practically each of their scenes.
The film tries to be an amalgamation of quite a few films and in the end the mishmash that is served is so tasteless that you begin wondering who approved the script in the first place.
Arshad-Rajpal antics are straight out of “Jodi No. 1″ while the Govind Namdeo double role act reminds one of “Andaz Apna Apna” where Paresh Rawal was seen in a similar role. Then there is this quintessential “Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron” climax, this time with “Mughal-e-Azam” being underway on stage. If Kundan Shah sees these five minutes of the film, he may just get a heart attack.
The film was in the making for five years, something that reflects in each and every frame. Not only does it look dated with extremely poor cinematography adding insult to injury, it also seems clearly disjointed.
Also, you can sense that the director didn’t have any control over the proceedings and shot scenes randomly depending upon availability of any actor, whether lead or supporting. No wonder, “Ek Se Bure Do” turns out to be an extremely poor film.

99 - Movie Preview
By admin | April 22, 2009
Another movie with some pinch of comedy … seems to be hilarious…. watch out this website for more…
Kunal Khemu: Sachin
Sachin is full of big ideas. The problem is implementation. And his well-rounded buddy, Zaramud is not helping either. Actually, he’s making it worse.
Soha Ali Khan: Pooja
One first look, she is your typical Delhi girl. And like Delhi girls go, they are either Pooja or Neha. But this vibrant Pooja has a side that not many have seen so far. And it’s pretty wild!
Boman Irani: Rahul
Rahul is an ordinary guy with a pretty ordinary job. He has one extraordinary quality though: he always has the luck of the draw. He thinks he has figured out how luck works! But lately, he’s not sure anymore.
Cyrus Broacha: Zaramud
Zaramud is a bit of contradiction. Despite the impression he gives, he knows a lot of shit. But since he isn’t most tactful or loaded with commonsense, he lands himself and Sachin into trouble. Far too many times
Vinod Khanna: JC
JC likes to live big. And likes his stakes big too. To top that, he has to have an edge over everyone and everything he deals with. By hook or by crook.
Synopsis
99 is an original story inspired by real events. It is as much “What could have been” as it is “What really happened.” In other words, it is historical fiction - fiction being the keyword. It spans a few genres; it is slick, fast-paced, realistic and, importantly, very funny.
In this “smart comedy” set in 1999, all the characters are found by a common feeling of being stuck at 99 in life - just one short of a ‘century’ - that elusive thing called “making it” in life!
99 is an unpredictable and hilarious ride spread over two cities with colorful characters, unbelievable circumstances, small-time crooks, big-time conspiracies, fateful car crashes, loads of coffee, a briefcase full of money, a budding romance…
…. And a historical controversy brewing in the background!

Videsh Movie Review
By admin | April 21, 2009
Deepa Mehta’s VIDESH (HEAVEN ON EARTH titled internationally) is a mixed bag of spousal abuse, submissive daughter-in-law, violent husband, cruel in-laws, packaged with mythological elements. Over the years, a handful of filmmakers have depicted the plight of victims of marital abuse, the disturbing scenario through powerfully-told characters in Hindi films. And Deepa’s VIDESH deals with the same cliched subject. After giving some thought-provoking films like FIRE, EARTH, WATER, a lot was expected from the director Deepa Mehta but VIDESH falls dreary.
From a small town in Punjab, the happy-go-lucky girl Chand (Preity), strangely enough, is sent all alone to Canada, to marry Rocky (Vansh) whom she has never met. Full of dreams in her eyes of a happy married life; her dreams are shattered on her wedding night itself. The jobless mamma’s boy & Chand’s husband Rocky (Vansh Bharadwaj) is highly frustrated person who has no sexual interest in his wife or rather no human feelings at all, except anger, which erupts in physical violence.
Chand soon realizes life as a non-resident Indian is not all it’s made out to be. You expect some expression of anger or shock from Chand (who is an educated, city girl), but she is totally passive. Disheartened Chand who brings along her mom’s narrated poems and folktales seeks solace in reciting her mom’s narrated myths of the holy snake ‘Sheshnaag’ (who is considered to take form of any individual). Rocky and his mom’s insulting behaviour increases with Rocky often brutally beating Chand up. But then one night, her ‘’snake god” from her backyard comes to life and enters her bedroom in the form of her husband Rocky.
The basic plot is interesting but Deepa Mehta has made a complete mess of it. The snail-paced movie has mystifying black and white portions. Too many close shots also don’t work in film’s favour, at times it irks you.
From an unmarried mom to bubbly babe to brave lady to tormented wife in VIDESH the feisty girl of Bollywood Preity Zinta has come long way. She has portrayed the character of Chand magnificently. The differing shades of excitement, confusion and then helplessness are portrayed very well by Preity but sadly a whole film cannot ride on it. Though Deepa Mehta has got the perfect ensemble cast in place but it doesn’t work. Except for Preity the film appears lifeless.
All in all VIDESH doesn’t offer you any Heaven in your cinema!

Ek - The Power of One Movie Review
By admin | April 20, 2009
Bobby Deol after a long time returns to action with EK under the command of Sangeeth Sivan. It is more of a modern interpretation of BAMBAI KA BABU and DUSHMAN, having parallels more to DUSHMAN as the family and its problems are what brings about a transformation in the criminal and reforms him to become a Good Samaritan.
The brilliance of the movie from the cinematographic angle appears in patches more so in the evocative shots of the sunset in the villages and the silhouette that it creates, as also in the stunt scenes that Bobby Deol has performed, emphasizing that he is an action hero. The shooting of action scenes in two tone colors may have been done with the idea to create an impact, but it is not able to live up to it.

Coffee House - Movie Review
By admin | April 18, 2009
Remember your coffee house days when you measured life in coffee spoons and talked about conquering the moon. Well, now it’s time to re-visit those high aspiration times when revolution seemed round the corner and Utopia anything, but an impossible dream.
Coffee House is a small, unostentatious, yet meaningful film about dreaming big, seeking change and making a difference. Naturally, in today’s high-voltage electioneering, the film comes as a topical reminder of the power of the common man. Ostensibly inspired by the life and times of noted theatre activist, Safdar Hashmi who died a brutal death in the 1990s, the film focuses on the valiant attempts of Ashutosh Rana and his street theatre group to change the system and make it more accountable, inclusive and humane.
Apart from his nukkad natak, Rana also runs his wife’s (Sakshi Tanwar) newspaper but steps back when the business interests of the paper come in conflict with his voice-of-protest editorial content. This however is a minor point of conflict between the much in love husband and wife who are the focal point of the ensemble cast which assembles in the neighbourhood coffee house for its daily adda-baazi sessions. The coffee house does not only witness a robust exchange of ideas on society, politics and ethics, it also becomes a platform for showcasing contemporary India’s major problems.

Kaminey - Movie Preview
By admin | April 17, 2009
In the middle of this crazy adventure, the brothers have to run to protect themselves, their dreams, their love….
And most importantly, realize that all they have is each other.
And you know what….. Priyanka - Shahid to smooch in ‘Kaminey’
Although actor Priyanka Chopra shared a kiss with Akshay Kumar in her very first film, ‘Andaaz’, she has been very picky about on-screen pecks. But the latest dope is that the sexy damsel has done a kissing scene in Vishal Bhardwaj’s ‘Kaminey’, in which she plays a Maharashtrian mulgi.
A unit hand informs us that though Shahid Kapur and Priyanka Chopra have great on-screen chemistry, Priyanka wasn’t happy when director Vishal Bhardwaj informed her about the kissing scene. But since that scene forms an important part of the film, director Bhardwaj got Priyanka’s nod.
And there are also some Shahid’s Kaminey acts…
Imtiaz Ali’s Jab We Met proved lucky for both the actors Kareena and Shahid Kapoor. Though Shahid got loads of offers, being choosy he selected only a few interesting projects. Vishal Bhardwaj’s forthcoming film Kaminey is one of them.
Shahid will be seen in a double role for the first time ever. The young heartthrob will be sporting a completely different look in the film. And though it’s a comic flick Shahid will get into action mode too.
According to a unit hand Shahid has never sported this look in any of his films. Since it’s an action comedy he is sporting an absolutely raw look which was required for the film. He has lost weight and looks thinner as he needs to look fit.
…………………..
Interestingly, Shahid is going the Aamir way in terms of acting. He believes in going through actual makeover for his films. He has worked on his body, has lost weight and is sporting long hair for Ken Ghosh’s forthcoming film in which he plays a dancer.

Aa Dekhen Zara Movie Review
By admin | April 17, 2009
Time-n-again it is proved that Bollywood has still a long way to go and polish itself in futuristic, sci-fi thrillers zone. First-time director Jehangir Surti’s so-called fast paced sci-fi thriller AA DEKHEN ZARA is another good example of sort.
Jehangir who had a very interesting concept at the helm of AA DEKHEN ZARA - using a gizmo - a camera that can look into the future, had all the chance to explore and give away an exhilarating thriller. But the slick thriller that starts off well fades away just after the first hour. Post interval it loses its sheen as the script seems to go haywire with no specific direction. The post interval portions have been written without much imagination with convenient co-incidences coming up at regular intervals.
Ray Acharya (Neil Nitin Mukesh), a seeking work, freelance wild-life photographer inherits such a magical, antique-looking camera from his grandpa (Biswajeet) that changes things overnight for him. How? Well the camera has the special ability to reveal the future through the photographs taken from it (but it only takes pictures 24 hours into the future). As anyone in Ray’s place would have done, he takes a peek into the future and bets on horses, lotteries and stock market through photographs. And starts enjoying life with his girlfriend Simi (Bipasha) who works as a DJ in a night club. The audience roots for Ray as he starts winning the horse races and lotteries thanks to his future seeing camera. But Ray soon discovers that the camera has mysterious powers. It shows the future, including Ray’s impending death. Suddenly this camera with special powers becomes a national issue and many hands try to grab it including one Captain (Rahul Dev). Now Ray has to keep the camera safe from the evil forces headed by Captain.
AA DEKHEN ZARA is painfully inconsistent and doesn’t even stay true to its own wrapped logic. Picture this; suddenly the camera which can only take pictures 24 hours into the future, as told in the beginning, takes the photographs of the happenings six days away, in the latter part of the movie.
