Koi Aap Sa

Their lives are full of fun, frolic and in Rohan’s case – football. Rohan is basically a fun loving and sporty guy. He doesn’t have a worry in the world! However, during the course of the movie, other sides to his character are revealed.

Watching Koi Aap Sa is like watching a big screen version of the soppy and pretentiously dramatic Ektaa Kapoor soap operas that we see on television.

Director Partho Mitra makes a forgettable debut with this movie. But for a few stray portions in the film, Koi Aap Sa is a boring, emotionally fluffy movie. It was intended to stir your emotions. But it only leaves you drowsy.

Siskiyaan

Siskiyaan director Ashwini Chaudhary has chosen an offbeat subject. His cinematic execution is deft at times, but a few good assorted sequences don’t make a gripping movie.

One strong point is Neha Dhupia, who shows remarkable growth as an actress. The way she stares in the mirrors, the desensitized, blown-out expressions on her face and her vitriolic outburst towards the end – all lend credibility to her character Ayesha, a victim seeking revenge and justice.

In short, Siskiyaan is based on a serious story that may not appeal to everyone.

James Movie Review

‘James’ stars this dashing newcomer in the lead role. He has become the cynosure of the eyes of Ram Gopal Varma . So impressed is Ramu with Ahlawat that he is casting him in the role of Amitabh Bachchan in the remake of Sholay. Action, not though acting, is Mohit’s forte. The guy fights really well and scores brownie points in action sequences. But his dialogue delivery and his facial expressions (or the lack of them) leave too much to be desired.

On the whole, ‘James’ is a weak fare that will possibly appeal only to those interested in action without any substantial storyline. The less that is spoken about the acting of Mohit and Nisha, the better. By the time it ends you are dying to bid farewell to James!

Salaam Namaste

As expected, the movie has a very urban, young and happening look and is set in Melbourne, Australia replete with beaches, swimming costumes and a bevy of phirang , gori babes  ready to shed off their clothes without a moment’s notice!

All in all, a movie that tries to explore the relatively new concept of live-in relationships, unconventional professions like RJs n chefs…….but still ends up reminding us of the age-old  pre-marital sex and subsequent unwanted pregnancy of movies of yore….so has Hindi cinema really taken a step forward with this film?)
