Movie Review: Deadline 24 Ghante

The Reviewer	Had no inkling about this film till the time it was released Greatly likes the entire cast of the film Had got good reviews about the film (Source: indiafm)
Watched it	At Home on a DVD
Bottomline	It's a short film (Around 1 hr 45 mins) - No Songs An attempt to deliver a message. An issue which has always been talked about but seldom portrayed on celluloid Pace is sluggish almost throughout That the film is made on a shoestring budget is very evident Screenplay, Script and Dialogues could have been much better Background Score (if it exists) is a shame
Peformances	Irfan Khan and Konkona excel. Very original and Real. Rajat Kapoor is passable. Sandhya Mridul doesn't have too much scope.
Recommendation	Should watch it at home on a DVD - It's a refreshing change
Expectation	***
Rating	**1/2

Movie Review: Jaan-E-Mann

The Reviewer	Liked the music of the film Found the trailors interesting Likes the lead cast in the film Did expect a good product from the team (many of whom delivered the entertaining Mujhse Shaadi Karogi)
Watched it	At home on a DVD
Bottomline	The locales and picturization was pretty neat and grand The story just did not exist. Cannot comprehend the going-ons in the first hour of the film Long, Harrowing, Stressful and Tiring (2 hrs 50 mins) The songs keep coming in one after another and have dialogue intercuts in an attempt to move the narrative forward with them – A failed attempt All in all – A colossal waste of resource. Wonder how the makers had the audacity to take on Farhan with such an ordinary product! (Not that Don was completely up to the mark – But still …)
Peformances	Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar really save the day – They are fairly decent. Preity Zinta does not get too much to show (acting wise J). Anupam Kher is quite irritating. Rest of the cast don’t deserve space or mention
Recommendation	Not Recommended

Movie Review: Khosla Ka Ghosla

The Reviewer	Found the concept of a film on land infiltration interesting Considers Boman Irani as super actor and watched the film primarily for him
Watched it	At home on a DVD
Bottomline	Interesting Story that never loses its grip on the viewer Length of the movie is perfect for its kind (A bit over 2 hrs) Brilliant depiction of a very serious problem that is rampant in Northern parts of the country There are no songs to interfere with the speed of the narrative Characterization is fairly real – Close to life
Peformances	Boman Irani is the hero – He effortlessly gets into the skin of the character. Anupam Kher is top rate – But, it’s the kind of role one would expect Kher to perform flawlessly anyways. Ranvir Shorey as Bunty is entertaining. Parvin Dabas as Cherry is a revelation. Navin Nischol is good in a relatively small role. Tara Sharma – The only blemish in an otherwise perfect cast – She has to work on her dialogue delivery (Makes me wonder on how she keeps getting films inspite of ….)
Recommendation	Highly Recommended
