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.

The Dark Knight (2008,  PG-13)
The Dark Knight 4.5 Stars
This one is unbelievable. Heath Ledger is so phenomenal with his act as the Joker. But even besides that, the action and the way other characters have acted is tremendous. You'd surely not want to miss this one. Watch it even if you don't like Batman, because this can very well be treated as a general action movie and still entertain you like no other.

I love this one. There's nothing bad in the movie if you ask me. NOTHING. Go watch it as many times as you can i.e. if you've not seen this movie at least a couple of times already.

XXX 4.0 Stars
This is surely my all time favorite action movie. I just LOVE the style, stunts, action of this movie. I guess I must have seen the avalanche scene at least a hundered times. Vin Diesel is unreal in this one. I still watch this movie every time its on TV.

Monsters, Inc. 4.0 Stars
A totally weird concept but what a movie. Its one movie best suited to be seen even when you're in the most horrible mood. A person who doesn't like animated movies would also fall in love with them after watching this one.

Ratatouille 4.0 Stars
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.

Sarkar Raj (2008,  Unrated)
Sarkar Raj 5.0 Stars
WHAT A MOVIE!!!

Sarkar Raj as an independent movie is OUTSTANDING, as a sequel of Sarkar is AMAZING and acts as a perfect piece which fits in the series of Sarkar movies. Abhishek Bachchan is a class apart in the movie. Amitabh Bachchan continues the legend forward. Aishwarya Rai suits the character perfectly. All the supporting characters add just appropriate blend in the canvas. DO NOT MISS THIS ONE FOR ANYTHING IN THE WORLD

Now that's what I'd call a really good movie. Keeps you on the edge of the seat throughout. Great performances by Jim Sturgess, Kevin Spacey and Lawrence Fishburne (I like him in his introduction scene,"This is the system beating you." Corny, but quite good). Kate Bosoworth not only acts well, but manages to look damn good. Watch it for all the money, performances, Vegas et al.

I like the way this movie was made. Real fast paced, edge of the seat thriller. John Travolta is the one of the reasons why I like this movie so much...

A totally edge of the seat thriller. Extremely fast paced. I like Nicholas Cage anyways, but Diane Kruger looks ravishing throughout the movie. Surely not to be missed.

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?

A really good story. A light hearted movie. Catherine Zeta Jones gives the spark to her character. Aaron Eckhart is funny at times, Abigail Breslin is cute every frame on screen. Do not miss this one. You might end up being pleasantly surprised :)

Dor (2006,  Unrated)
Dor 4.5 Stars
An excellent movie. Out of this world performance by Ayesha Takia. Gul Panag looks beautiful on screen. Shreyas Talpade adds flavor to the bland movie. I was shaken during the scene when Ayesha talks to her ex husbands grandmother towards the end of the movie. A Definite favorite.

I love this movie for the special effects and the way it has been shot. trust me ignore the love story which is actually supposed to be "the main plot" of the movie. A movie which every action movie lover must watch at the earliest if you haven't seen it already that is.

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 ;)

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...

Shaurya 4.0 Stars
Brilliant performances, although a little slow bit a gripping storyline. Wouldn't want to say much about the storyline since you have to watch it to experience it. Its difficult to decide who is good because all the prime characters be it Rahul Bose, Deepak Dobriyal, Javed Jaffrey, Kay Kay Menon and Minissha Lamba have acted so well. I couldn't blink even for a second whenever Minissha Lamba appeared in screen as she looks so beautiful. DO NOT MISS THIS MOVIE!!!
