      Ek Tha Jackie Shroff. And then he had a son. But this one belongs to the genre mastered by Jackie Chan and plastered with superhuman stunts by Salman Khan: action comedy mashed up with a spy thriller. If you thought Agent Vinod (read review) made a Ronald McDonald out of the genre, Ek Tha Tiger (ETT) takes a mousey tail and sticks it up his nose for Salman to swing from ear to ear. Regardless, if you've followed Salman's recent films, you know that they're in a genre of their own and cannot be graded for the story, screenplay, performances or any other metric used to evaluate other films. They can just be enjoyed or suffered, depending upon the elasticity of your tolerance.

    • Nawazuddin SiddiquiAnurag Kashyap's 'Gangs of Wasseypur II' is even better than its prequel. The complete competence with which Kashyap handles this subject is proof that he completely owned the plot and the narrative. There was so much going on in 'Gangs of Wasseypur I', that at times, it was difficult to keep track of the details but 'Wasseypur II' has enough clarity, is much better nuanced and is not as dark as the first one.

      If the first one was all about Manoj Bajpai, this one belongs to Nawazuddin Siddiqui completely. Nawazuddin manages to imbibe various aspects of Faisal's character and essays the role with impeccable ease. Your heart goes out to the conflicted protagonist. The druggie Faisal who is so busy puffing away at his joint that he is almost indifferent to his father and elder brother's murder, the reluctant gangster who is thrust into the limelight by default, the lover who is as smitten despite the tough exterior.

      While Siddiqui never really leaves the spotlight, every other member of

    • Sweet nothings in Wasseypur
      Cast: Richa Chadda, Huma Qureshi, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Jameel Khan, Zeishan Quadri, Aditya Kumar
      Directed by Anurag Kashyap
      Rating: ***

      Phuchchak! A stab in the eye. Krreeeech! A human head severed from the rest. Swish! Swoosh! Perpendicular and tangent blades inserted into flesh. And then, a semi-automatic is used to poke intestines swinging from a carcass that has been polka-dotted with gun fire. Now you know, when director Anurag Kashyap says dark, he means 99% cocoa.

      Following the chain of events in the first part, this was meant to be a revenge account. And in its 159-minute runtime, only a few bullets are dodged and the rest find shelter in their targets to ensure that the ‘badla’ is avenged proportionately. Many will complain that they have limited tolerance for graphic violence, while those who have an appetite for it would demand an utmost number of people to be wasted cleverly. So instead of analyzing this film, let’s review these distinct sets of film goers and what this Read More »from Gangs of Wasseypur 2 review

    • Nawazuddin posing with the poster of GOW 2
      Cinema is often inspired from real life, at least the Madhur Bhandarkars and Ram Gopal Varmas of the world would have you believe. But in this unique case from Gangs of Wasseypur, an actual incident from actor Nawazuddin Siddique’s life inspired this comic scene in the film. Click on the video below to have him narrate it in his own words:


      If you found the above scene hilarious, you would love the next one where Nawazuddin recollects another embarrassing incident from his early life in Mumbai where he met with a disastrous end, following an indecent proposal. This scene has been used in the second part of the film:

    • Women who tried to pull down Sunny Leone
      While Jism 2 may not have impressed many (read review here), the film managed to garner a lot of traction for marking porn star Sunny Leone’s Bollywood debut. Given Sunny’s prior vocation, it wasn’t going to be easy for her to find her feet in Bollywood but she also had suffer a little more than she must’ve hoped for. Apart from suffering a media onslaught about her inability to express on the screen, she was torn apart from public statements issued by other actresses who firmly questioned her performance in the film.

      Prachi Saathi and Sunny Leone

       Jism 2 released along with the animated movie ‘Krishna and Kans’- a film for which Bharata Natyam dancer Prachi Saathi had lent her voice for. While Jism 2 is a film strictly for adults, ‘Krishna and Kans’ would seem more like kids entertainer. Regardless, the animated film was confident that their film would attract a larger audience. Speaking about releasing her film along with ‘Jism 2’, Prachi Saathi confidently remarked, “I am not much bothered about the clash.

    • Sunny Leone in Jism 2Every new Bollywood film claims that it will be breaking stereotypes but what the filmmakers actually do is package and market the product in a way that ensures salability. Does the audience feel cheated? I am sure they do but the collection of the first weekend rakes in the moolah by then. The same can be said about 'Jism 2' but if you are were just expecting lots of skin show, then the film is a total paisa vasool.

      Vinayak Chakravorty in his review says that this film will guarantee a hit because everyone has been waiting for Bollywood's first erotica:

      Look what the Bhatts have done. They have just beaten everyone in Bollywood - Aamir Khan included - in the game of clever marketing. Jism 2, more than a film, is a brainwork marvel at hardselling a porn star as B-Town's latest sex bomb. If hype over style and substance has become the mantra to ensure first-weekend spoils, Pooja has played her Sunny card well. The PR frenzy around the debutante sets a new yardstick for film marketing.

      2 Jisms in Jism 2

      Cast: Sunny Leone, Randeep Hooda, Arunoday Singh

      Directed by Pooja Bhatt

      Rating: 1/2 *

      Breathing is an operation of inhaling and exhaling. Sunny Leone makes this process a delight as her lovely lady lumps rise and descend like waves in a stormy sea. So the biggest selling point of Jism 2 is that Sunny breathes a lot and offers the same twin reasons to watch this film that she has in her entire filmography. Her indecent exposure has worried many but there are way bigger exposés in store here. For starters, how Arunoday Singh manages to unconvincingly pull off two satellites clipped on to his head as ears or how Randeep Hooda breaks into the hamming hall of fame without slipping in any ants in his pants. The film lives up to its title by allowing one to examine the human body in more ways than most doctors get to. Regrettably, it is your jism which is reduced to rubble in the process of watching this dribble.

      The movie opens to a shiny and smooth canvas- a topless back of porn star

    • KSKHH

      Cast: Tusshar Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh, Neha Sharma, Sarah Jane Dias, Anupam Kher, horny pug

      Directed by Sachin Yardi

      Rating: **

      When you go to watch KSKHH, you know what you’ve signed up for. Nothing in this review or what anyone tells you should alter anything. It is (as you would expect) a willful plunge into an ocean of sexual innuendos, perpetually horny pugs, more gay jokes than Dostana can cover in the next ten sequels and some very well done movie spoofs. My pick: the pointy brassiere-clad Bra.One whose sole purpose in life is to support women in, well, you know what. Double meaning with triple seasoning and everything, everywhere has some trace of filthy literature. Not even the sign boards are spared: La Whore Dhaba, Cock Tail bar etc.

      No prizes for guess what I have in my mouthAdi (Tusshar Kapoor) is a struggling actor who hasn’t resigned despite being reduced to endorsing some of the most despicable and entertaining Home Shopping products on TV (drastic skin whitening, constipation cures etc). His roommate and

    • Kashyap unplugged

      “Ask them questions about their cleavage,” he chuckles as he sprints past the room where the two lead actresses from his latest franchise ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ are fielding questions from journalists. But director Anurag Kashyap is a lot more than just cocky. Stubbornly resolute about the kind of cinema he wants to be associated with, he was once perceived as a filmmaker who didn’t care to subscribe to a mould for his films to be commercially lucrative. A fanboy of dark and edgy realism, his first film as a writer, at the age of 22, was ‘Satya’. But when he finally earned his director’s cap, his film was banned by the Government of India. After years of enduring personal turmoil, a Supreme Court judge happened to watch the film on a pirated DVD in Dubai and learnt that it had been courting for a release for seven years. Once he returned to India, the case was reopened and the film was released. The film was ‘Black Friday’ (based on the 1993 serial blasts in Mumbai) and its biggest
