Dhoom: 2

Suffice to say there are better movies in the same genre.
Rating: Average

Robot

The much hyped-Rajni's movie. Saw the Hindi version.
Heavily Avoidable. Thin dialogs and poor acting. 

Aarakshan

A must-see movie on reservation in education system. Powerful dialogs.

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Plot of movie will be clear in first half hour. Its filled with so-called humorous and SRK's over-acting scenes to make it 3 hrs. But a profound movie with good dialogues.
Rating: Good

Kati Patang

Simpleness is written all over the old movies. Makes it watchable. Nothing great though.

Dil Deewana


Jaya Bhaduri's acting is worth the watch. It is nice to see 'real' middle class families in these 80s movies.
Rating: Average

Namak Halal

The celebrated Amitabh's movie. Typical 80's movie. Nothing great about it.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan

Different story-line. The title says it all and pretty much gives away the story in the first 15 minutes. But still its nice to see the entanglements getting un-tangled.
Rating: Good

Kissise Na Kehna

Hilarious. A simple middle class romantic story with an overbearing father in law - lies and the twists associated with it, and of course, the happy ending. A perfect recipe for a movie.
Rating: Good.

Aandhi

Clean, simple, catchy. Its amazing what charm old Hindi movies had. Very easily can relate to the middle class families.

Veer Zaara

Some over exaggerated emotions and passions. But catchy dialogues. Good story line with enough twists to not making boring.

Sex and the City - 2

Saw the movie on TV in bits and pieces. Especially the Abhu Dhabi part. Pretty average stuff.

How to lose a guy in 10 days

Time pass. Light comedy at times. Romantic at other times.

The Transporter

Starts off as a thriller but finally ends up like a Bollywood blockbuster where nothing happens to the hero in spite of 1000 bullets. However nice action, nice stunts, nice fights. Worth a watch.
Rating: Good.

Valentine's Day

A really nice movie. Once again - like Crash, Vantage Point, 11:14, Babel, He's Just Not That Into You - multiple stories intertwine one amongst other to create a nice romantic collage of a 'picture' :)

Vantage Point

As IMDB states, an attempted assassination is told and re-told in different perspectives, each adding to the story and making it that much more complicated and an edge-of-the-seat thriller. Very good movie.

The Day After Tomorrow

After Inconvenient Truth this is the next movie on global warming that I have seen. Very well depicted. Has lots of thriller-moments (not needed actually) which makes the movie an edge-of-the-seat. A sci-fi but very close to reality.

Its complicated

Its a complicated story of old age romance and affairs :-)

Paul Blart: Mall Cop

Sort of a rom com. Most scenes shot inside a mall with the hero being a Mall cop and heroine being a saleswoman inside the mall. Things turn for the worse (or better?) when mall is hijacked.
Rating: Average

Ganesha Matthe Bandha

Catchy dialogs. Humorous scenes. Nice story line and twists. Family entertainer. Well portrayed and easy-flowing.
Rating: Good

The Social Network

Captivating story of Mark Zuckerberg (co-Founder of Facebook.com) and the rise of Facebook.com. A must-see.

Pineapple Express

Crazy movie! Its thrilling when two innocent men are caught in between two gang wars. But its fun when they themselves are not so innocent and one cop belongs to one of the gangs!! From the director of Knocked up.

Mad Money

Wow! What a movie! Nice story, nice acting, nice score, nice casting, nice direction and nice ending! All in all, a must see!

American Graffiti

Pretty boring. Saw only first 40 minutes and story was not going anywhere. Just a bunch of graduates celebrating end of school.

Anger Management

Time pass. Back to back Jack Nicholson movies. Kind of funny movie. Watchable once.

The Bucket List

What a movie! A must-see written all over it! Its good to have a bucket-list - things to do before one kicks the bucket. Flip part? One's gotta have lot of money!

Spy Game

Gripping. A movie that depicts a CIA operation that never was! What starts off with a simple jail break in China, traverses across Vietnam and Beirut while all the talking goes on in Langley, Virginia. Very well made movie.

Mamma Mia!

Totally musical! Comparable to Hum Aapke Hain Kaun. Thin story line but set in picturesque locality. There is a song sung every 5 minutes - sometimes its funny but sometimes it gets at you. Watchable once.
