- 27-03-2009 18:34 |'Ek - The Power Of One' takes you back to the cinema of yore.
- 27-03-2009 14:41 |When the first slap comes, it hits the audience hard across the face.
- 20-03-2009 18:33 |Most film-makers often feel [and rightly so!] that a title should reflect the content of a film. But with a title like 'Barah Aana', you're completely clueless. That's because director Raja Menon's choice of the subject is equally unique. He enters an alley that most storytellers don't risk entering.
- 20-03-2009 18:23 |'Dostana' and 'Fashion' brought homosexuality out of the closet. One assumes 'Straight' would take it one step ahead. It would look at gays, the relationships, the emotions. It doesn't.
- 20-03-2009 18:14 |Hrishikesh Mukherjee started a trend. Simple stories narrated in the most simplistic manner. His movies inspired a generation of film-makers and a lot of storytellers even today pay homage to Hrishi-da through their movies.

- 13-03-2009 18:34 |Anurag Kashyap's 'Gulaal' is intelligent, intense, disturbing, poignant and expectedly, cerebral.
- 06-03-2009 18:33 |Post 'Monsoon Wedding', films focusing on the Indian diaspora have been churned out by makers in the West. But, sadly, a majority of these projects still suffer from the 'Monsoon Wedding' fixation. 'Karma Aur Holi' is one of those films.
- 06-03-2009 18:32 |'Dhoondte Reh Jaoge' is a pleasant surprise. The movie is non-stop nonsense, but with a story.
- 06-03-2009 18:21 |Do you believe in spirits? Have you had paranormal experiences? If the answer is in the negative, 13B would try to make you believe in them.
- 02-03-2009 14:21 |There's a thin line that divides unconventional and experimental cinema. 'Siddharth - The Prisoner', directed by debutante Pryas Gupta, has an unconventional plotline, but what comes across is quite abstract.
