Apun Ka Choice: A star-spangled film that starts off well, builds the plot nicely, but goes completely hay wire in the second half. New York is long, tiresome, but well intentioned. Director Kabir Khan tries to delineate the insidious process of the making of a terrorist. It all boils down to a climax so shoddily [...]

Apun Ka Choice: Anurag Kashyap deserves a toast for brewing an old wine masterfully in a new bottle. Dev D makes the pitiable protagonist of Sarat Chandra‘s Devdas somewhat likable. Performances in the film are top notch. With its crispy, witty and straight-out-of-life dialogues, Dev D gives a new hue and tone to Devdas. The [...]

Apun Ka Choice: If you can digest an overdose of physical violence, then Ghajini is a film you shouldn’t miss for Aamir Khan‘s unforgettable performance. Stoically, Aamir Khan walks and rips through the film with the charm of a Casanova and the beastliness of a vengeful man, and delivers a performance that will be remembered [...]

Apun Ka Choice: Rock On!! grips you from its very opening reels when you are introduced to the dull, mechanical lives of the four protagonists. The sense of emptiness is intelligently highlighted by the contrasting flashbacks of their juvenile past when everything was hip and happening, and life was a song. Director Abhishek Kapoor deserves [...]

Apun Ka Choice: It makes you wanna fall in love. Don’t miss this film! CNN-IBN: It is a film propelled by its characters and their motivations, much like Dil Chahta Hai in a sense, but without the emotional depth of that film. As far as the film’s plot is concerned, there’s very little that’s original. [...]

Apun Ka Choice: Pakistani film Khuda Kay Liye tells an engrossing, multi-layered story that pits the opinion of the moderate, tolerant Muslims against the fundamentalist ones. While the film’s introspective theme takes a look within the contemporary Pakistani society and shows the wedge between the moderates and extremists, it also brings to the fore the [...]

Apun Ka Choice: Black & White deals with a very relevant issue in the times of terrorism and racial profiling. Not only does the movie gives a message of hope that terrorists could be reformed, it also questions the way, the state goes about dealing with terrorism. It is an honest and commendable effort by [...]
