Bunty aur Babli has all the ingredients of a blockbuster - impressive starcast, novel story, mind-blowing music, sizzling on-screen chemistry and to top it all, an item song that is well set to be a nation's new anthem.
After a successful debut with Vivek Oberoi-Rani Mukherjee starrer Saathiya, Shaad Ali is back with yet another great movie. Of course, it may disappoint all those craving for Hollywood-like cinema (Black, Page 3 , etc.) - Bunty aur Babli is 100% Indian - textbook Bollywood style. So, you have Abhishek Bachan and Rani Mukherjee playing two ambitious, fortune-seeking small-town youngsters, who run away from their families to make it big in bad Mumbai. The duo turn into formidable con-pair thus inviting upon themselves the wrath of a UP-bhaiyya type cop (Amitabh Bachan). The film's initial half is much like a roller-coaster ride while it is the later half that involves the Big B chasing the masquerading duo. Finally, the product is a movie providing wholesome family entertainment in typical Bollywood flavour. The ending may appear a bit damp, but all-in-all its a movie worth seeing.
ACTING: Abhishek Bachan is fast growing out of his illustrious father's shadow and carving a niche for himself. AB is fantastic in the film as the trickster Bunty. Rani Mukherjee on the other hand is fast rising to be the next 'actress of an era' after Madhuri Dixit. she is turning out to be the industry's biggest goldminer with a string of 5 recent successes already to her name. After a serious role in Black, Rani enthralls all by another great performance in a contrary role. The Big B as usual stamps the film with his quality and it is quite useless to praise him here. And last but far from the least is Aishwarya Rai.............it can only be Ash who can floor the audience and leave her mark on a film featuring three of Bollywood's biggest names in a role comprising just of a 7-minute item song. The gorgeous body, the heaving breasts, the backless choli, the tempting face ,the hypnotising eyes and of course the drooling dance moves - Ash is at her irresistible best in Kajra Re.
Special mention for Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's fabulous music, delivering what should be the best musical blockbuster of the year. Each song of the soundtrack is innovative and is destined to be a hit.

After a string of pathetic comedy films in 2006 (Tom,Dick and Harry , Malamaal Weekly, ChupChupke, Pyare-Mohan, etc.), Golmaal comes as a pleasant surprise. Golmaal is essentially a laughter riot, driven by an outrageous but rib-tickling plot. Howver, it is not the storyline that clinches it for the film - it is the amazing chemistry that the four male lead actors (Devgan, Kapoor, Warsi and Sharman Joshi) share that gives the film the requisite 'kick'. The film naturally has its share of flaws - negligible part of heroine, wastage of a stalwart like Paresh Rawal, a damp ending, but all in all, the film is a humorous treat.
Ajay Devgan discovers new acting horizons with this role, while Arshad Warsi and Sharman Joshi cement their identities as comedy-specialists. In the end you just hope that the director has showed a better casting acumen by casting someone other than the hapless Tusshar Kapoor (needs to revisit the acting school) , as the mute prankster.
Vishal-Shekhar's music is trendy . Watch out for the the black-n-white track featuring Paresh Rawal and his on-screen wife that has a 1940's feel to it.

Agreed - The Matrix films are meant only for people with a certain intellectual capacity. However, for those lucky brainies,
it signifies a revolution in filming. Never-seen-before action sequences, witty dialogues, smart acting, neo-modern concepts
human race from extermination by 'intelligent' machines. The film is shot for the major part in Zion - the last outpost of 'rebel' humans. Agent Smith gives a new dimension to villainry with his power-packed role. Then you have a host of other interesting characters like the Merovingian, The Keymaker, Commander Lock, councilor Harmann, Captain Niobe, and other. the plot is of course ridiculously complex and the last part featuring the Architect requires every bit of concentration.
ACTING: Kianu Reeves effortlessly plays the role of Neo - The One and redeems himself after a spate of not-so-good movies. Carries Anne-Moss as Trinity, and now Neo's love interest has got a good share of role. Fishborne as Morpheous is acceptable. But kudos to the villain pair of Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) and Merovingian (Lambert Wilson). Be it their imposing screen presence, or their timely delivery of memorable dialogs, they are just perfect in their roles. And of course, you have the mouth-watering Monica Belluci, widely acknowledged to be one of the prettiest women in the world, essaying the role of Persephone and involved in an intimate smooch-scene with Neo.
Go ahead grab your tryst with the Matrix.
