The Italian Job (2003,  PG-13)
The Italian Job 4.5 Stars
Amazing movie. One of the best movies wrt execution. It doesn't let you look anywhere off the screen no matter how many ever times you watch it. Can't wait for the sequel. Fingers crossed hoping its equally good.

Neat job done. Better than Oceans 12. I guess they're gonna do a good job in odd numbers. Skip Oceans 14, jump to 15 directly instead ;)

I quite like this movie. Asking me, the best from Ashutosh Gowariker. Yeah its a little slow, but some scenes do give you a jolt and stay with you for a long time to come... Remember Shahrukh's journey to a village to see a farmer and his journey back?

The only reason why this movie shouldn't be missed. ELLEN PAGE. I don't think I could've seen this movie if it wasn't for her. PAR Excellence I say...

Omkara 4.0 Stars
Characterization, Performance, Background score, Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapoor and Konkana Sen Sharma (she's done a fab job) are all great. But what takes the cake is SAIF ALI KHAN with Langda Tyaagi's character... Language can be a little problem for ...(read more)some but still a brilliant movie. I like it...

Yet another beautiful animated movie from the makers. these guys are creative geniuses when it comes to deriving a storyline and animation is so good. Watch this movie. It might just turn out so much better than you expect it to be as in my case.

I guess the only bearable movie Shaad Ali could make. Probably that's also because it was a frame by frame copy by a Tamil master piece by none other than Mani Ratnam.

Redline (2007) 2.5 Stars
Although not the best movie involved wrt cars and illegal racing but do not miss this for the cars shown, the chase and race sequences and Nadia Bjorlin. Trust me its difficult to say what's best amongst those three options. Cars are the best machines, chase and race sequences are heart thumping and MAN Nadia looks sizzling sensational EVERY SECOND she appears on screen.

I just forgot why did I give this movie such a rating :P Well a brilliantly made movie with performances which demand an ovation but its damn confusing and keeps you thinking every damn second while you watch it. Not something you'd want to do while watching a movie. Frankly I was floored by the way the whole movie turned out but still in the end didn't really like it. But still watch it at least once firstly to enjoy this completely different movie and mainly to make up your mid if you like it...

It's one of the most depressing movie I've ever come across. But also one movie which has the best climax. The final battle just changes the course of the movie. All the scenes where Eminem raps are brilliant.
