If you call, stinking-rotten Parsi language thrown at you on every interval, characters screaming your head off, patchy scenes here-there, people hallucinating and trying to plot against each other - dark and unsettling then this is what Being Cyrus is. There are some mystery movies that leave you satisfied or in awe but believe me Being Cyrus leaves you feeling hollow. The movie has no particular starting and no better ending. And talk about humor - there is none - not dark nor light.

Going by the hype and preview of the movie I was excited to see this twisted movie. The first half finished soon, mostly introducing the characters of the film. But I thought; now the real fun will start and we will get to see something electrifying which will thrill and excite. I was wrong. I was left frustrated. (more…)

Excellent screenplay of director Milan Luthria and admirable performances by actors Nana Patekar and John Abraham has impressed none other than Aamir Khan who made the effort to watch Taxi No. 9211 in a hall recently.

While some said the bonding between Nana Patekar and John Abraham was the most interesting aspect, others commented on its portrayal of Mumbai’s fast-paced life. However, the ever observant Aamir commented that what stood out in the film was the fact that both the heroes had negative shades.

Surely, Luthria must be on cloud nine. His Taxi No. 9211 was probably the only movie that came up to people expectations after Aamir Khan starrer Rang de Basanti. At some point the film was also outdid Rang de Basanti from its no. 1 position.

Himesh Reshammiya constant success has become pain in a** for his competitors. Now he is being targeted by many and some of his colleagues in the music industry have backlash at him. He was also accused of plagiarism by some. But Himesh remains unperturbed by all that.

Himesh said, “I am neither hurt nor disturbed by the occasional backbiting and criticism, from some of my colleagues. By and large, the music industry has been very supportive towards my success. It is just that some people are a bit surprised by the fact that a music director who is also a singer, has walked away with all the success.” (more…)

Karan Razdan’s ‘Souten - The Other Woman’ is releasing this Friday which will portray Mahima Chaudhary as an evil stepmother. The director boasts that ‘Souten’ will be laced with lots of steamy scenes and will do well at the box office.

The film focuses on Raj (Vikram Singh), who is in love with Sapna (Kiran Rathod). Sapna’s jealous stepmother Mitali (Mahima Choudhary) cannot bear the fact that her stepdaughter is getting attention from a young man because she is stuck with the middle-aged Thakur Ranbeer Singh.

Dissatisfied and frustrated, Mitali causes trouble for Sapna by seducing her boyfriend. Smita (Padmini Kolhapure), who is married to Raj’s elder brother Sumer Singh (Shakti Kapoor), tries to put the story on the moral track.
