Ram Gopal Varma is at it again! Following 'Darna Marna Hai' which you might remember around three years ago, 'Darna Zaroori Hai' is a mixture of six different horror stories within the movie. Now although the first movie 'Darna Marna Hai' had one director solely responsible for the direction of the movie, this time the difference is - Six stories six different directors and sets of actors within each story.So set aside the obvious clichés, you know the graveyard, the secluded house, the drifter on the highway and you are left with some interesting combinations of stories. Not necessarily too scary as such but more entertaining for the viewer.Breaking down the six 'scary' stories ( as told by a grandmother to five other children) the first one begins with actor Manoj Pahwa. ..More...

Mahesh Bhatt's latest offering is the movie 'Gangster' but don't read too much into the title, it may sound like a violent criminal film but in actually fact it is a deep love story which needs to be read between the lines.Although the only biggish name in this movie is Emraan Hashmi, don't let it put you off. In fact if anything the Bhatt's are well known for small budgets and unknown names in some lead roles (such as 'Kalyug') but they go on the strength of the script. Which works again in this movie.Simran (Kangna Ranaut) is all alone living in Seoul , South Korea. Drinking her time away she seeks solace in her whisky bottles. One day she comes across a singer in an Indian restaurant - Aakash (Emraan Hashmi) and the two form a bond and begin a relationship.Aakash wants to know why Simran has such a sad life, and one night she tells all. Through the form of a flashback we learn of Simran's story..More...

Don't expect too much laughter with this one, just some bland ordinary comedy the clichéd kind that is forced rather than genuinely funny.The concept of 'Pyare Mohan' is relatively new to Hindi cinema, Two guys one Blind one deaf (Inspired by Hollywood 'See No Evil Hear No Evil') but the manner in which this subject has been handled has gone wrong and has not been tactfully dealt with. Nevertheless the story goes like this.Two best friends who were originally stunt men on movie sets are now inseparable. Pyare (Fardeen Khan) is blind while Mohan (Vivek Oberoi) is deaf. They now both run a gift shop together, each is the eyes and ears of one another. However one empty void in their lives is Love. Both need it both are lacking it.

Don't expect too much from this latest offering from Filmmaker Raj Kanwar, because it is laced with usual clichés, typical mushy lines and some heavy doses of melodrama.Yes ,you may have some nice looking actors in the lead roles, catchy songs all set in the backdrop of Canada but this movie lacks a serious amount of character depth to establish the love story going on.We are introduced to the story of Aditya (Akshay Kumar) and Jia (Katrina Kaif.)Aditya (Akshay Kumar) is a talented automobile engineer, he loves his job and is committed to it.

Why do we have to suffer something so weak as this? Sure if you like the idea of an Indian Nostradamous all should be ok, but although a man who can predict the future such as an accident or someone's death sounds good enough but watching it is something totally different.So we begin with the cliché of a young couple Raj (Kapil Jhaveri) and Kajol (Saloni Aswani) in love in Sun City.

Ananth Mahadevan is the man who brought us 'Dil Vil Pyar Vyar' and 'Dil Maange More.' comes a movie from a different genre. 'Aksar' is a movie based around suspense and unexpected twists but although it tries very hard it struggles to hold any depth whatsoever.Revolving around three people this movie shows the many different facets of how people play mind games with each other.Ricky (Emraan Hashmi) is photographer who is not only talented in his field but also in the manner in which he can take advantage of his models.Ricky is known for his womanising ways as well as taking out loans which he can not repay.Along comes a rich NRI business man Raj (Dino Morea) who is stuck in his marriage and is looking for a way out so that he can divorce his obsessive and over controlling wife Sheena ( Udita Goswami.)..More...

The man responsible for movies such as 'Kaante' and 'Musafir' gives us his latest offering in the form of the movie 'Zinda.' Sanjay Gupta has always leant towards the West for inspiration in his movie, this time it is the East he looks to.'Zinda' is heavily inspired by Park Chan- Wook's Korean classic 'Old boy' (2003) and quite rightly so because this is Bollywood's taste of Extreme Asia Cinema and Gupta has played it well.Don't expect a typical Bollywood movie; this is so not Gupta's style! Expect fantastic camera angles, a blue hue throughout and a truly deep and dark sinister movie that is simply visually appealing..More...

'Shikhar' is the second movie from director John M. Matthan who first movie was the 'Sarfarosh', however unfortunately this time he doesn't quite match up to his debut.The potential is there as is the background of the characters however flaws in the screenplay cause it to drag and become unnecessarily long.In 'Shikhar' we are presented with two ideologies, we meet Gaurav Gupta- GG (Ajay Devgan) who as a property tycoon sees nothing but money; above everything he is hungry with greed and money.
