Producer : Ronnie Screwwala, Sanjay Leela Bhansali Director : Prabhudheva Starring : Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha Music : Sajid-Wajid Lyrics : Sameer Anjaan, Faiz Anwar Genre : Action Recommended Audience : Parental Guidance Film Released on : 01 June 2012 Storyline Much earlier, in my review of Prabhudheva’s maiden venture Wanted, which got Salman Khan back in the game and allowed him to do many more masala entertainers and South remakes, I had stated that I love masala entertainers. Trust me, there’s nothing better than a cocktail of genres defying your otherwise potent logic when you leave your overworked brains behind to enjoy a movie that should provide nothing but (in the language of the well-remembered Silk, played by Balan in The Dirty Picture) “entertainment, entertainment, aur entertainment.” And that’s exactly why I haven’t really shoved Sajid Khan’s outspoken logic of his films working, because he knows exactly what he’s doing when he’s making films that don’t require log

Producer : Yash Raj Films Director : Habib Faisal Starring : Arjun Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra Music : Amit Trivedi Lyrics : Kausar Munir Recommended Audience : General Film Released on : 11 May 2012 Storyline Based on an imaginary town of UP named Almore, Ishaqzaade is a passionate love story which has already generated a lot of buzz even before release due to the attractive new faces, fresh music which you can listen to in a loop, a bold and rebellious Parineeti (Chopra) who is shown with guns and a young lad marking his debut (Arjun Kapoor) who can make girls swoon with his reckless attitude! Habib Faisal is definitely an intelligent director who shows all the nuances of small towns of UP compared to metros and also the ruthlessness, arrogance, plots, passion along with aggression in the rustic aura which doesn’t fail to impress you. Three cheers to cinematographer Hemant Chaturvedi, who captures it in a natural way whilst all the songs are shot within the suburbs of Almore which make

Producer : Reliance Entertainment Director : Vikram Bhatt Starring : Karisma Kapoor, Rajneesh Duggal, Jimmy Shergill, Divya Dutta, Arya Babbar, Gracy Singh, Ravi Kissen, Ruslan Mumtaz Music : Himesh Reshammiya Lyrics : Samir Anjaan and Shabbir Ahmed Genre : Thriller Recommended Audience : General Film Released on : 11 May 2012 Storyline Karisma Kapoor as Salma, Geeta or Sanjana gets news of death of her lover’s death / kidnap multiple times in the movie. Her dovey eyes turn red just too often, her voice cracks, she breaks down just as often. Every time she does this you don’t have dialogues but you hear loud Himesh vocals (as loud and as listenable as ever) in the background. You want to relate to the girl, you want to feel bad for the one who died or at least feel concerned. But you just cannot. Dangerous Ishq is a romantic thriller that spans across centuries to get the lovers connected but fails to connect to the one sitting on the other side of the screen. The movie marks the come

Producer : Mahesh Bhatt Director : Kunal Deshmukh Starring : Emraan Hashmi, Esha Gupta, Randeep Hooda Music : Pritam Lyrics : Sayeed Quadri, Sanjay Masoomm, Mayur Puri genre : Thriller Recommended Audience : Adult Film Released on : 02 April 2012 Storyline The original Jannat (2008) was watchable due to the cricket concept, exceptional music (by Pritam), a better heroine and an interesting story! Jannat 2 is a tossed, stashed rather crushed version of the original with fewer stellar songs and a new female lead (who most of the times reads news headlines when it comes to delivering a heavy dialogue!). Esha Gupta must have been hoping that the audience would go wild seeing her curves but she should realise there’s no scarcity of that in Bollywood today! Perhaps the surprise element of the movie is that the lover boy himself is even more irritating than the female lead. Once upon a time it was a delight to watch Emraan Hashmi showering us in these romantic / gunda roles. Sadly his presen

Producer : Ratan Jain Director : Priyadarshan Starring : Anil Kapoor, Ajay Devgan, Kangna Ranaut, Zayed Khan, Boman Irani, Mohanlal (Cameo), Sameera Reddy Music : Sajid-Wajid Lyrics : Jalees Sherwani, Shabbir Ahmed Genre : Thriller Recommended Audience : General Film Released on : 27 April 2012 Storyline When Priyadarshan’s Aakrosh came out in theatres, I was damn impressed with his execution of the almost watertight script – and the length didn’t even matter. It was another story altogether that I had decided voluntarily not to review the film at all, because my euphoria was dampened by the immediate discovery of the film being a brazen rip-off Mississippi Burning – and in fact, after watching the film, my spirits dampened even more. Now, almost two years later, when his Tezz was about to release and all its promos were out there, I had almost predicted the film to have a strange connection with The Taking of Pelham One Two Three – and I’m not talking the Tony Scott remake, I’m talki

Producer : John Abraham Director : Shoojit Sircar Starring : Ayushmann Khurrana, Yami Gautam, Annu Kapoor Music : Abhishek-Akshay, Donn & Bann, Rochak Kohli, Ayushmann Lyrics : Akshay, Juhi, Kusum, Swanand, Vijay, Ayushmann Genre : Social Recommended Audience : General Film Released on : 20 April 2012 Storyline Vicky Donor. He doesn’t donate life saving blood, kidney or bone marrow; instead he gives new life by donating sperm. A fresh story giving importance to the fact that sperm donation is not an act to be ashamed of, rather it’s a noble deed that can bring happiness to so many parents devoid of kids! The concept is presented in a light breeze without burdening you with heavy emotional drama! The entire first half of the movie is filled with comedy that makes you fall off your seat. Director Shoojit Sircar and writer Juhi Chaturvedi created a total comic drama which is also heart felt and doesn’t lead to heavy bannered messages or morals but just lets people know that sperm don

Producer : Sajid Nadiadwala Director : Sajid Khan Starring : Akshay Kumar, Asin, John Abraham, Jacqueline Fernandez, Ritesh Deshmukh, Zarine Khan Shreyas Talpade, Shazahn Padamsee Music : Sajid-Wajid Lyrics : Sameer Genre : Comedy Recommended Audience : General Film Released on : 05 April 2012 Boy, Farah Khan’s brother Sajid Khan is quite a polarizing figure isn’t he? The director is more well known for his skewering (and on the spot) commentary as host of almost every award show in the UNIVERSE (add echo effect here), yet his work as a director contains perhaps only 25% of the wit he has shown as a host. Why is that? Yes, I get the fact that he wishes to make entertaining films for the whimsical and more tolerant (of mediocre films) masses, and doesn’t quite care for the nose in the sky “elite” filmgoers who prefer comedies like” Munnabhai” (both films) and “3 Idiots”. Yes, I get that he blatantly makes his films as middle of the road as possible. It’s almost certain that his
