Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Movie Review
I have to begin this movie review of Zindagi na Milegi Dobara by saying that though it was a very enjoyable film, and perhaps accurately described as India’s first fully fledged road movie, it is not quite Dil Chahta Hai. Though comparisons are odious, in this case they are inevitable and Zindagi falls that little [...]
Delhi Belly – Movie Review
This is one of those surprising films that lives up to the hype and high expectations that people had from it – Delhi Belly is funny, outrageous, uproarious, unapologetic, crude, vulgar, true to life; it breaks new ground in Bollywood and is whole lot beside. This Delhi Belly movie review may be more than a [...]
Lady Gaga and her Bollywood Jaunt – Can She Make it Big In India?

Bollywood and Politics – Do they Mesh?

Bollywood and Plastic Surgery – The Relentless Pursuit of Youth
