Sarkar (2005)



What do you get when you cross 'Don Corleone' with 'Bal Thackeray'?

Sarkar - inspired by the life of Bal Thackeray, pays homage to the legacy of Godfather.

If u liked Sarkar, well you obviously haven't seen Godfather yet. Personally, 'D' is much more entertaining ...

Sin City (2005)


[Genre: Comic-style-Action/Crime]

IMDB Rating : 8.4/10

Tagline : Walk down the right back alley in Sin City and you can find anything.

Robert Rodriguez does the honours with a little Tarantino touch. Dark in more than one sense of the word, a treat for any comic lover.

A must watch ...

Dus (2005)


Genre : Bollywood ( try classifying better! )

Ahh! bollywood just can't have enough 'inspiration' from the the west with the plot for DUS lifted straigth from '24' the hollywood TV series. Subtle inspirations from 'The Usual Suspects' I may add ;)

A stylish movie with oh-so-sexy Shilpa Shetty sporting a perfect figure and Pankaj Kapur playing a chameo of a role.

Not too bad for a bollywood flick i must say.

Batman Begins (2005)

Genre : Action/Adventure

IMDB Rating : 8.3/10

Batman got his A** whooped by Christopher Nolan!!

The movie has been surprisingly well received in US probably bcoz the people just can't have enough of BATMAN. Ask me and i'll tell u the movie could have been much better. The director should have used the IMAX advantage with better shots. The story though a little slow has its moments.

My Take : The movie is a let down especially after spending (2)200/- for the ticket though the IMAX experience is truly amazing...

'D' (2005)

Another Factory Product ...

Genre : Crime

Not as impressive as Company probably but entertaining nonetheless. Story of 'Dawood', his rise from rags to riches!

Rashomon (1950)

Genre : Crime/Drama/Mystery

IMDB Rating : 8.5/10

One crime ... 4 stories ... who would u believe?

The movie screams just one thing - "Akira Kurosawa is a wonderful story teller".

A classic ...
