By Martin D’Souza | Opening Doorz Editorial | November 28, 2016 Big fish eat small fish, sab moh maya hai I don’t know how this works. I don’t even know if the film […]

By Martin D’Souza | Opening Doorz Editorial | November 25, 2016 Rating: 2 / 5 The essence: Dr. Khan explains to Kaira that he once went to an Italian Opera and sat through […]
Movie Review: English Vinglish Gauri Shinde has come up with a gem in her directorial debut. The story is very modern, yet archaic; sober, yet hard-hitting. And adding punch with lots of pizzaz to the entire duration of the film is Sridevi. She has come back with the proverbial BANG! Probably, this has to be one of the best knock-out return […]
Neha Dhupia filtered: “Only sex and Shah Rukh Khan sells,” was her quote then. Today she adds to more S’s; story and script.
Movie Review: Mithiya Mithya is a very complicated film dealt in an uncomplicated manner by director Rajat Kapoor. The director handles the complexities of the film and the central character with aplomb, to first set your creative juices flowing as a viewer. Then, long after the credits have rolled, you begin to unravel the mystery of the plot. There is […]
Movie Review: Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami In life, they never realized the value of their father and his honest approach. In death, the sons are stunned when they see the love pouring in for their dead father, and the praises they hear for his honesty. But the funny part is, when alive, Purshottam Narayan Joshi (Anupam Kher) a worker with […]
Movie Review: Ek Chalis Ki Last Local Dhai Ghante mein Dhai Crore, reads the tag line. I’d say Dhai ghante mein paisa vasool. Director Sanjay Khandoori delivers a hit with his maiden flick. From just Rs 70 in his pocket to being the waaris of Rs 2.5 crore!! In the inner recesses of your mind you can hear Eurythmics belting […]
Movie Review: Dasvidania Vinay Pathak is peeling off layer after layer to reveal the talent he is. Frankly, I expected a typecast performance from him but the man completely blew me away with his picture perfect characterisation of Amar Kaul. There’s not a flaw you can detect in this standout act, which deserves a standing ovation. Take a bow, Sir. […]
Movie Review: Bheja Fry It’s slick, neat and clean. Above all, it lives up to its name—Bheja Fry. As in you don’t come out of the theatre with your brains in a mess, but rather grinning at a comedy well made. There is a plot and a sub-plot and the scenes are woven, one into another with finesse, which highlights […]
By Martin D’Souza | Opening Doorz Editorial | November 21, 2016 This may sound funny, almost unreal, but it’s true. Agreed, stars pull in the crowds and rake in the moolah and are […]
Movie Review: Miss Lovely Miss Lovely is art-house cinema at its best. Dark, deceitful and diabolic. The movie ventures into the commercial world of sex, X-rated movies and the business behind it. Set in the late 1980s, the mood is retro, the sets surreal and performances in a league of their own. It’s very real. You can almost feel the […]
Movie Review: Talaash Talaash engages you in every scene. Like the protagonist, it keeps you alert at all times looking for clues to solve the mystery. It gives you a feeling that you have almost cracked the crime… almost. But when the mystery is revealed, you are as shocked as inspector Surjan Singh Sekhawat (Aamir Khan). Dumbfounded would be an […]
Movie Review: Manjhi Only one thing comes to mind after watching Ketan Mehta’s biopic on the late Dasrath Manjhi, the man from Bihar who turned a mountain into a molehill—a lesser actor would have crumbled under the weight of this character. But not Nawazuddin Siddiqui; he stands tall to deliver a powerful impersonation of the man who labored for love’s […]
Movie Review: Kick The movie actually begins when Devi Lal Singh and Devil, both slice through Dr Shaina and Himanshu on a Poland street asking for directions to a doctor’s clinic. Yes, Sajid Nadiadwala takes this much time to get the action rolling in Kick. Immediately after this scene, the words I N T E R V A L flashes […]
