Upkaar

Typical old movie about good son - bad son, and the bad son realizing his mistakes in the end. But this movie has a lot of patriotism thrown in. Also emphasizes the farmers duty to the land. Made me remember The Good Earth.

Do Raasthe

Family movie. Poverty, issues with joint family, rich girls, etc. Not an entertainer, just another time pass old Hindi movie.

Jab Jab Phool Kile

Aap Ki Kasam

Nothing great but nice in it's simplicity, as in all 1970 movies. First half is all happy-happy but latter half is all sad-sad. Some adulterous dialog in the middle surprised me though.

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.
