New Look —- Old Look

Here’s the poster :- Looking at this picture, can’t help but wonder if the inspiration came from this :- Remove the guitar and button up the trenchcoat and Ranbir might just as well look [...]

Of Hritik, Zoya and Women Who Don’t Fall At Men’s Feet!!

Quite a mouthful, that title, isn’t it?! I’ve been reading a lot lately (actually, Pre-Ramadan) and even watched a few movies (again, pre-Ramadan). I’m awful at reviews of both, so I usually don’t try. Only when a book/movie really takes up 80% of my attention span, does it get mentioned here . So anyway, I [...]

Udaan : The movie which left me speechless (…and teary-eyed too )

I had the good luck of watching Udaan with the BF yesterday. The family was out for a dinner party. They had taken SS with them. So that left me with only RS to worry about. The BF had brought a DVD of Udaan (which he said he’d heard a lot about) and we got down [...]

My eyes, my eyes…..they are, a hurting!!!

This one’s for nostalgia. For memories best NOT remembered. But it helps to face those demons once in a while. To get a reality check. And also, to thank the Almighty that we were not infected much with that virus. In case you think I’m rambling, please stop.Halt.Desist.Retreat. This post is best suited to people [...]

Saw a movie on DVD over the last few days. Its called Hairspray(2007) (there’s the original which was released in 1988). I was skeptical about it until I found that it was set in America of the 60′s and the movie was a kitschy musical (I LOVE musicals. The last one which I adored was Chicago. [...]

Thoughts on : My Name Is Khan

Note : This is NOT a film review. Warning : Long , rambling post ahead.   Now that the noise over SRK’s MNIK has subsided, I guess it is safe for me to come up with my thoughts on this movie. First, the positives. It was a nice film, had a nice flow, was witty at [...]

When I met Atul Kulkarni

Long back,about 6-7 years back, dad was visiting Pune. When I got back from college, I found him watching a movie CD on the comp. Dad called out to me and pointing to a guy on the screen asked me if I knew who he was. There was this lanky guy with the meanest look in [...]

Now thats what I call impossible!!!

My newfound respect for Uday Chopra.  Yes, you heard that right.  I, MomOfRS, have developed a sincere respect for Mr.Uday Chopra, aka, the jerk-who-played-the-joker-in-Dhoom.  What brought about this change of heart, you might well ask.  And I’d say, that, I saw his performance relative to some other ‘well known’ , ‘established’, ‘National Award’ winning actor’s performance [...]
