Movie Review: Blue

Touted by many as Bollywood?s first underwater, action adventure thriller, ?Blue? has been inspired from Hollywood flicks like ?The Deep? or ?Jaws?, but with its own mix of Indian spices in the form of melodrama and suspense.

Commitment was something Akshay was not familiar with; rather, he was wary of it.

Movie Review: Kurbaan

KURBAAN is NEW YORK. But with a different set of actors. KURBAAN is also SHOOT ON SIGHT, again with different actors. The plot remains the same, the twists and turns fails to surprise you and the end is inevitable.
