Let’s take a look at what should be the industry’s top fifteen resolutions for the New Year. 1. Use “Hinglish” titles only when appropriate! I wonder if it’s even fair to label Bombay’s [...]
Top 10 Actresses of 2010
In my fourth year of compiling the list of the top ten actresses of the year, 2010 has definitely been the most challenging. Call me a cynic, but I believe that the Hindi film industry is going through a crisis of sorts in terms of female talent. Barring a few, the current crop of actresses [...]
TIFF Special: “Dhobi Ghat is like poetry on film”
Normally when I see a movie, the critic in me is immediately ready to find a computer, open Microsoft Word and let the words flow from my brain to my fingertips to the screen. But it’s been three days since I’ve seen Kiran Rao’s Dhobi Ghat and I still can’t fully understand how or why [...]
BollySpice Mid-Year Achievements Round Up
Well, loyal Bollywood fanatics, we’re halfway through yet another year and have a few gems and a whole lotta trash to show for it. That’s 26 Fridays and approximately 64 releases. Unfortunately, the past six months have been some of Bollywood’s dullest, but thankfully the few critical and commercial winners have been special enough to [...]
“Raavan is definitely worth a watch, even if it’s not the epic it was touted to be.”
After years of hype about Raavan being ace director Mani Ratnam’s most grand film yet, the verdict is finally out, and it’s definitely a mixed bag. Some love it and some hate it. Noted critic Rajeev Masand calls it “a crushing bore of a film” while Rediff’s Aseem Chhabra says Ratnam “is in top form.” [...]
Top 10 Jodis of 2009
One of the things that fans love about Bollywood is the love stories – we can’t get enough of them. And it is the two actors who make the love come alive and make us feel. Sometimes the combination does not work and so the film does not work. However, when it does, it is [...]

Kurbaan
There’s a very fine line between a film that pretends to address relevant global issues and one that actually does. New York pretended. Kurbaan does. Kurbaan (written by Karan Johar and Rensil D’Silva) makes you sit on the edge of your seat partly because it’s a gripping thriller and partly because it hits so close [...]
“Adi [Chopra] and I are not friends” – Anushka Sharma
After having arrived with a big bang in last year’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (director: Aditya Chopra), Anushka Sharma quickly disappeared. Rumours were afloat that she would only work with Yash Raj Films (YRF), but her latest project proves that she is open to all offers. Sharma has just signed Nikhil Advani’s Patiala House [...]
What’s Your Raashee?
Positive points: Priyanka and Harman, creative script and several hilarious moments Negative points: Way too long, weak climax After mastering the art of period flicks, acclaimed director Ashutosh Gowariker is back with a three-and-a-half-hour romantic comedy that tests your patience repeatedly but is still thoroughly entertaining. Gowariker takes a giant leap into foreign territory with [...]

Dil Bole Hadippa
After the surprising success of New York, 2009 might just be Yash Raj Films’ comeback year. But they’re not the only ones making a grand arrival this year. Rani Mukerji, whose career hit a roadblock after several disappointing debacles (Baabul, Ta Ra Rum Pum, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, etc.) teams up with Shahid Kapur who [...]
“I didn’t even read the script before I said yes!” – Aishwarya on ‘Guzaarish’
As the days go by, the excitement (and expectations!) surrounding Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish is steadily increasing. Not only does the film mark Bhansali’s third film with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, but also stars Hrithik Roshan who is apparently thrilled to be part of the Bhansali-Rai duo that has created magic twice already (Devdas, Hum Dil [...]

Karan Johar, who recently turned 37, invited the who’s who of Bollywood to his birthday party.

Though neither has ever said anything to confirm this, it has been apparent that the two aren’t quite the [...]

“I’m Bipasha Basu. I don’t think there’s any replacement for that.” – Bipasha
No matter what she does and no matter how many critics she has, Bipasha Basu is always confidence personified. In a recent interview, she claimed she has no problems not being approached for Race 2. “I heard even Abbas-Mustan are not doing ‘Race 2′. If the original directors are not doing the sequel, who am [...]
