The trailer you watched is far superior to what you watched for two hours. Everything happens so slowly, you want to take the hero's gun (he's just posing with it!) and shoot yourself with it, or at least someone in the movie just to get a reaction from them.

This is not Oh My God, neither is it PK, but this is a clever little gem that may slip through the cracks simply because the film does not have A-listers. Global Baba is a clever satire, written well but it fails to deliver the punch against fake godmen that Oh My God did. Even though directed well, the story feels like it is looping without moving an inch. But the heart is in the right place.

If you liked the original GangaJal, then maybe you should stay at home and watch the DVD. The story is the same as the original but diluted.

The new young couple go through the motions - falling in love, action, tears - there is zero sincerity and the comic thread of the baddies is so terrible you wonder how the censors were sleeping.

Poor Charles Dickens! I am sure he never meant for Great Expectations to be a Bollywood romance. He called it a 'very fine, new grotesque idea' when he thought it up. Fitoor is this very finely shot, very bizarre breathy romance film which is saved by moments of true madness displayed by the brilliant Tabu.

'They killed his brother and he wreaked havoc in Bombay, and you did what?' screams a politician to the powerful businessman.' And you know how the movie is going to end! It's just that this time Ajay Mehra is defending four teenagers who have found evidence on crime that is being passed off as an accident. The direction may be raw, but the action is good.
