REVIEWS

The most unbiased reviews on the internet

On one level you have to commend Striker. The film is certainly better than most of the mediocrity you see today in Hindi cinema. And the film does have its gritty moments as it credibly enough recreates Bombay from ...

Aasal

What disturbs one the most as the titles of Aasal unfurl is that its lead star Ajith is credited as one of the Story-Screenplay-Dialogue writers as well as co-director. OK, this feeling is nothing to do with Ajith's capabilities in ...

External Review

Stalwart critics from the heydays of Indan cinema present some unique (and often humorous) views.
