Mayank Shekhar's review: Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster

It's the page-turner script that steals the show. It's packed with enough turns, intrigues and twists to hold your attention, keep you guessing. All of it bound by some sort of logic still. Mayank Shekhar writes.

Rashid Irani's review: Zookeeper

Back in 1967, Rex Harrison established his funnyman credentials as the veterinarian who could talk to animals in Doctor Dolittle. Lucklessly, this purportedly family-friendly comedy doesn’t match up to the vintage fable. Rashid Irani writes.

Rashid Irani's review: Abduction

He remains a one-film wonder. Ever since his powerful 1991 debut, Boys N the Hood, the career of director John Singleton has steadily declined, reaching its nadir with this atrocious action thriller.

Rashid Irani's review: Johnny English Reborn

Eight years ago, Rowan Atkinson portrayed the bumbling titular character in a hugely popular spy spoof. In this ragged sequel, the viewer is once again subjected to the antics of the pratfall-prone British comedian.

Mayank Shekhar's review: Mausam

Harry (Shahid) doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t womanise. In the real world, such a man would be dangerous! In the pictures, he makes for the ideal Rajshri Prem-type Bollywood hero. Ayat (Sonam), on the other hand, rarely talks, radiantly smiles, shyly whispers.

Mayank Shekhar's review: Speedy Singhs

The makers have roped in actor Rob Lowe who plays a sports coach and Candian stand-up star Russel Peters who does the same old, jaded gags that he’s doling out, I hear, for 22 years now! Between the two of them, the producers could have run out of money to spare. The movie’s execution remains slightly amateurish, fairly tacky, mostly "NRI movie" type.

Rashid Irani's review: Crazy, Stupid, Love

Here, at last, is a romantic comedy that’s actually worth celebrating. Bursting with dialogue that’s fresh and funny, Crazy, Stupid, Love. is as engaging and heartwarming as the vintage screwball laugh-raisers.

Mayank Shekhar's review: Jaana Pehchana

I walked into a film called Jaana Pehchana, a prophetic title, given that the phrase means familiar. Unlike most readers on this page, I knew this was going to be a sequel to Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se.

Mayank Shekhar's review: Mere Brother Ki Dulhan

Katrina Kaif plays the said "rock chick". It’s hard to tell if her character’s restlessly rebellious, or plainly retarded. There's a thin line between the two, something that relatively similar, far more enjoyable, recent romantic comedies have managed to balance out incredibly well, writes Mayank Shekhar.
