jhankar beats (2003) (7/10)

This is a good movie. work/passion competion, different stages of meeting/separating, wins/losses. Slow at times, revolves around songs without the songs themselves being the centerpiece. Many hilarious moments. Caution: RD fans may become nostalgic. If they do, that is their own fault.

I wonder why the competition is titled 2002 when the movie is from 2003.

The Importance of Being Earnest (2002) (7/10)

A delightful English comedy, the stuff that classic Hindi movies are made of. The usual misunderstandings and naming confusions and lost babies and all that. Recommended. Sicily is so original in her diary! And The Lady's questions to decide her daughter's suitors!!

daranaa zaroorI hai (2006) (5/10)

Getting frightened was not really necessary. There were a few starts, but thats it. On the plus side, it was not ugly as some English movies of this genre tent to be, nor were there unnecessary sequences as Bollywood movies tend to have.

There were two main themes used repeatedly except in the last piece. The glue itself was no very, err, holding. A movie one can survive through.

But then seroiusly what horror elements can directors bring in that have not already been tried? Perhaps some sci-fi, or even sci-fan. Cloning? Extra-terrestrials? These too have been used, but they have many more dimensions that are still unexplored.

S1M0NE (2002) (6/10)

The movie makes a good start, stutters a bit, and then things are okay again. Victor could have dealt with S1M0NE a bit differently, but oh well. The procedures seem too simplistic as shown, old love predictably or unpredictably resurfaces and you can love complex systems in no time. All people can be fooled all the time. If you like sci-fi, you may like this. if you like sci-fi with some emotions, you will love this. If you love emotional movies but hate sci-fi, you MAY (or may not) like this.
