Madhur Bhandarkar makes films for the dummies. In the wake of the release of yet another cliched film for the dummies, Heroine, I am republishing my feminist film review of Fashion and other Bhandarkar Films. I have not seen Heroine yet, but I can predict what’s is it about. Not only does he make films […]
Movie review – Luck: A demented psychopathic plot with sloppy direction
I don’t know what bad ‘luck’ had befallen upon me last night that I went to see the latest release ‘Luck’. What bad karma did I do in my past life that in this life I was destined to go through such a disturbing movie? Never before in my entire life did I walk out […]

‘Rock On’ grows on you
Disclaimer: This is not a film review. When I really like a movie, the urge to share with the world why I liked it is uncontrollable. But when I write it down and publish on my blog I get the blame of being a hypocrite, they say, “oh you keep saying we don’t need film […]
Ugly Aur Pagli: Worked for me
Before you get misguided by the high minded critics in town who fail to appreciate simple things in life and movies, who look for reasons under the earth and beyond the sky to say bad things about any and every movie ever made unless they are paid well enough to say otherwise OR unless they […]

Taare Zameen Par | My response to Raja Sen’s Review
Now you might ask why am I picking up on the critique. Two reasons, one I had to show how much I admire Aamir’s work, I can’t stand anything written against him. Yes, I am biased. Second, I find these critics arrogant and snobbish. They tend to write bad things about all movies and even […]
Taare Zameen Par
This is not a movie review. Since I don’t adhere to them myself I don’t feel like writing them. But, I intend to write about Taare Zameen Par. Intend to share what I felt when I saw it. And one more thing I intend to do. Rip off the arrogant snobbish bunch of people, called […]
Feminist Film Review: Fanaa
Introduction: “Change is the only constant”. That’s not my line but I particularly like it. I know just one way of living life, change. I don’t stay tuned to anything, body, person, concept, thought, believe, system, discipline, logic, reason, philosophy for too long. I change all of them. Or let’s say I move on from […]

Because you are your father’s property? Or would ‘chattel’ be the […]
