Sukhee
Starring Shilpa Shetty, Chaitannya Choudhary, Amit Sadh, Dilnaz Irani, Kusha Kapila, Pavleen Gujral
Directed by Sonal Joshi
Zindagi itni acchi nahin toh itni buri bhi nahin… This bitter-sweet heartwarming at times , absurd and illogical and misbegotten at other times, is so lifelike: sometimes it’s a dream, at other times it sucks. But all said and done, Sukhee left me with a feeling of experiencing something worth my while.
Comparisons to Sridevi in English Vinglish and the overrated Vidya Balan in Tumhari Sallu notwithstanding, Shilpa Shetty Kundra comes off with flying colours in the title role. She should be seen more on the big screen than the phone screen. Her Sukhee is to begin with a harried housewife in a small town in Punjab where the women have nothing better to do than pry into their neighbours’ business, attend endless keertans, make chole bhatures and bitch about their spouses.

Tigers
Starring: Emraan Hashmi, Geetanjali Thapa,Satyadeep Mishra, Maryam d’Abo, Supriya Pathak, Vinod Nagpal
Directed by: Danis Tanovic
Rating: **(2 stars)
Funny, how idealism can never be defeated by compromise. In fiction or in real life, the Man Who Holds His Head High always emerges triumphant no matter what the odds.
Tigers, a long-delayed project featuring Emraan Hashmi as a Pakistani pharmaceutical agent who uncovers and exposes a lethal multinational baby food scam, should never have been released. It is an unfinished, annoyingly dissatisfying take on idealism and compromise with a finale that is so tame and sudden, so compromised we feel as scammed as a movie audience as the poor Pakistani mothers who fed the toxic baby food to their babies.
Don’t get me wrong. The film means well. Its makers’ hearts bleed for the poor impoverished exploited third world victims who fall prey to multinational avarice. Director...

The first thing that stood out of the initial trailers of Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana (Lstck) was the name of Anurag Kashyap associated with it. The man of the dark side of cinema whose banner Akfpl gave Udaan, Gangs Of Wasseypur as well as Sunil Bohra’s Shahid, and Chittagong, is crossing over to the light side with a recipe of comedy which is being promoted as the first food film of Bollywood. His latest production Aiyyaa was at the receiving end of scathing reviews, will Lstck do anything substantial to pave Anurag’s space with this genre?
Chased by gangsters in London whom he owes money, Omi (Kunal Kapoor) returns to his ancestral home that he had once fled in the hope that he can swindle the money his grandfather’s family dhaba churns owing to the dish that made the dhaba famous ‘chicken khurana’. Much to Omi’s misfortune,...

Movie Review: "Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana"; Star cast: Kunal Kapoor, Huma Qureshi, Vinod Nagpal, Rajesh Sharma, Dolly Ahluwalia, Rahul Bagga and Vipin Sharma; Director: Sameer Sharma; Rating: **1/2 - lacks tadka.
"Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana" is a Punjabi tadka film. The milieu, the dialogues and humour is so akin to the region and its people. The setting is authentic and identifiable. It is loaded with eccentric characters, hero's vilayat dream, a don chasing him, wedding planning, subdued romance, underwear jokes, suspense,.

[Bhushan Nagpal reports on the Mani Kaul Memorial Meeting held in New Delhi on July 9, 2011. The meeting was attended by his family, friends and members of the film fraternity]
It was a sombre occasion, a memorial meeting to remember a veteran filmmaker who was no more. And yet, speaker after speaker made references to the sense of humour that Mani Kaul possessed, and related jokes he used to tell, sometimes at his own expense.
And quite unlike a memorial meeting, it did spark some laughter now and then as jokes or anecdotes were told about the man who was vibrant and lively all his life despite his illness.
The memorial meeting was organized on July 9 by the Osian’s Connoisseurs of Art, where he had served as Director of the Osian’s Cinefan Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema in 2009 and was Creative Director of its Film House.
The noted filmmaker, who was considered one of the pioneers of new Indian cinema that emerged in the late sixties and early seventies, died early in the...
