Rowdy Rathore is the latest entrant into bollywood that has a big influence of Tamil and Telugu movies. Knowing that Prabhudeva is directing the moving the action was expected just like his earlier movie Wanted. Again a remake of a telugu film Vikramarkudu, the theme gels well for a Bollywood movie.

I think it is the time for simple movies to take the reign of the film industry. Bold and never thought out themes being played out by new talents bring so much good feeling to the film goer.

It should be true that you have to pay for every sin you commit, in this life itself, nothing is taken forward after death.

Kahaani is already being reviewed as a good movie, Celebrity tweeters and common men all have in one voice said it is a nice thriller. More than the Thriller I liked the movie for being fast paced and much shorter that usual Bollywood flicks and that it did not unnecessarily drag even a bit. The ace effort was some good casting and characters in the story. … Continue reading Kahaani – A Fast Paced Thriller
This was my first take on the movie and my review was going to be the shortest “Agneepath was an unnecessary film”. The main reason being that you really don’t have to try and get your hand dirty on remakes just because it is a trend.
