Cinema
Julie and Julia
Ajit Duara
But for the sumptuous cooking and fine acting by Meryl Streep, this film is a little too cute for comfort.
Pan-Indian Ambition
Mammooty would have us refer to cinema made in India as ‘Indian cinema’. With his latest, Pazhaasi Raja, simultaneously releasing in five languages, he should certainly hope so.
Main Aurr Mrs Khanna
Better do the ‘Main Aur Meri Tanhai’ thing than endure this soppy recession-riddled romance.

Acid Factory
When a film’s best shot is a touristy scene of coastal Cape Town, you know the director should jump into the sea.
Inglourious Basterds
This is Tarantino at his usual. Action full of blood and gore. And humour designed to make a joke of everything, including Jewish suffering under the Germans

Dil Bole Hadippa
A Lagaan wannabe, without the spunk. Watch it, if at all, for the latest heartbreak kid Shahid Kapur
