Movie review of Murder
Storyline
Director Anurag Basu is known for his action thriller style of movies and he does it again with “Murder”, but this time he included the extramarital component to his success formula. Mallika Sherawat added extra zing with her bold and seductive scene that raised a lot of eyebrows.
Simran (Mallika Sherawat) is a working women in Bombay and successful but not satisfied with her married life which has become the common for many urban couples. Sudhir (Ashmit Patel) is a business man and often stays away from home which contributed to the loneliness of the couple. Mallika Sherawat looks like a perfect cast for the role and looked sensational that represented unsatisfied middle aged lady, but Ashmit Patel was not convincing in his role and someone of middle aged actor would be the best in this role.
Story takes the romantic turn or I refer to as a seductive turn when Simran meets her college boyfriend Sunny (Emraan Hashmi). Their heart still beating for each other and they start dating that leads to a physical relationship. Emraan Hashmi got the tag of “Serial Kisser” from this movie as they share quite a few onscreen kisses. Mallika Sherawat looked at ease whether in bikini or in a sexual encounter with no clothes on.
The thrill begins when Sudhir some to know the extra marital affair and plan the murder of Sunny on the other side Simran decides to confess that she has relationship with Sunny, but Sudhir forgives her. The climax of the movie is the weakest part of the movie as you will come to know that no murder took place in the first place.
Movie Reviews and rating of Murder
Final Thoughts
Murder is an experiential movie made by Anurag Basu which turns out to be bold and quite successful. Equal credit goes to Mallika Sherawat that decides to do such a bold role and was done with complete maturity and grace. Ashmit in the the role of Sudhir was a wrong choice for this cast. Emraan Hashmi was best fitted to Sunny’s role. Good music is like a tradition of Bhatt camp and “Murder” was no exception that has chart buster music and topped the chart for months.
Rating
“Murder” scores 7 out of 10 for its bold yet gracefully handled topic of extra marital relationship especially for Indian cinema. Mallika Sherawat got a lot of appreciation for her role that other actress could have refused to accept and perhaps started to trend of bold and beautifully role with some grace. We would like to give an extra point just because of Mallika Sherawat that brings the total score to 8 out of 10.

Stars: Rishi Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia, Pran and Prem Nath
Snapshot of the Story
Bobby is classical innocent love story where two teenage Raj (Rishi Kapoor) and Bobby (Dimple Kapadia) fall in love, but the differences in the family status come in their way as they face many challenges in the acceptance of their relationship. Raj was a son of successful business and Bobby was a daughter of a fisherman. They get opposition from their parents, but their innocent and true love turn out to be the winner tested over time.
Romance of Dimple Kapadia and Rishi Kapoor
Storyline
“Bobby” is another romantic and trendsetter movie made by legendary Raj Kapoor. Bobby is a story of two teenagers who are unware of the world and some of its evils, but they only believe in true love.
Rishi Kapoor was the perfect teenager and so does Dimple Kapadia and both look the perfect teenage couple. Dressing style of Dimple Kapadia made a lot of controversies. Controversies would be too harsh for the correct word but more like a big buzz in Bollywood. They looked sensational on screen, with every romantic scene touching and reaching new heights.
Bobby is the daughter of a poor fisherman, she is bold and a straightforward girl. Bobby meets Raj and starts dating. With every date they feel that they are for each other and found that they are perfect for each other, but they realize that they are very young for any kind of relationship. Their parents come into their affair and tries to split them. This is the same old plot of Bollywood showing rift between the rich and poor, but it was the screenplay of legendary Raj Kapoor which made it refreshing for the audience.
Bobby was the first movie of Rishi Kapoor as a lead actor and was the debut movie for Dimple Kapadia, but they both showed a lot of maturity in their respective roles. They looked like the perfect couple for Bobby and it turns out to be the perfect launch for Diple Kapadia and Rishi Kapoor.
Debut Movie of Dimple Kapadia - Bobby
Final Thoughts
Legendary Raj Kapoor was the showman of Indian cinema and made some of the finest classical romantic movies. Movies like “Shree 420”, “Chaliya” and many other romantic movies. Dimple Kapadia was the find of the movie and with instant hit she becomes the overnight star, but for Rishi Kapoor he was carrying the thirty year old legacy of his grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor. Laxmikant-Pyarelal was by far the best music director for two decades and worked with R.K. Studio. Bobby has the most romantic music of the 70’s, especially songs like “Hum Tum Ek Kamre Mein Band Ho” and “Main Shayar To Nahin” became instant classical romantic songs of Indian cinema.

Movie reviews and ratings of Silsila
Storyline
Amit (played by Amitabh Bachhan) and Shekhar (played by Rishi Kapoor) both are orphaned at a very young ages, they grew up independent as Shekhar being a squadron leader in IAF and Amit being a struggling writer. Shekhar fallas in love with Shobha and wants to marry her, but story takes an unpredictable twist as Shekhar dies in a plane crash leaving behind a pregnant and helpless Shobha. Now Amit takes the responsibility of his friend and gets married to Shobha and tells Chandni to forget him. Heartbroken Chandni believes that this is in their fate and marries her childhood friend Dr. Anand (Sanjeev Kumar). Even if Amit and Chandni have accepted what is written in their destiny, but they still love each other.
Their love turns to be an extra marital affair and Amit happens to meet Chandni and their romance is rekindled once again. This on screen romantic couple was part of the controversies as there were lots of rumors about their love affair of Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha that gave this movie an extra mileage. This affair was never proven true which gives the impression that the controversies were created to get publicity for this movie.
Story take lots of roller coaster ride and have lots of convolutions before reaching to the climax. Story becomes unpredictable as both Chandni and Amit realize that what they are doing and will lead them nowhere and they should stick to their partners which happens to be the happy ending of the movie.
Final Thoughts
Excellent performance made it a classical romantic movie to watch, Amitabh Bachchan is exceptional and director Yash Chopra proved again why he is the king of Romance in Bollywood. The pace of the movie was perfect and engages the audience during the movie. Jaya Bachchan touched the audience with her sensitive performance that touches everyone’s heart and Rekha looked very gorgeous. She has very short role and one should give full credit to her mature performance. Sanjeev Kumar was in a simple character and justified his role with some grace. Yash Chopra was excellent with his screenplay and cinematography.
Rating
Silsila bags 8.5 out of 10. This classical romantic story deserve this and credit to everyone who is part the bigger crew and worked like a team effort rather than an individual’s effort.

Storyline
Debutant director Saket Choudhary made a good movie that portrays the commitment phobia of the young generation.

Trisha proposes Sid, but he is still in two minds and not able to take any decision. Sid finally agrees to marriage as he doesn’t want to lose Trisha, but Trisha’s father comes in their way as he thinks Sid cannot give her a better future and rejects Sid.

Both Trisha and Sid are busy with their life and trying to get it on the track, but Sid realizes that he is still in love with Trisha and ready for a commitment.
Final Thoughts
“Pyaar Ke Side Effect” is made for only youth audience and able to entertain them in all possible way, but this seems to be the worst part of the movie. Story of the movie is a fresh experiment on the Bollywood mainstream. Music of Pritam compliments the story very well. Mallika Sherawat looks gorgeous and sensual. Rahul Bose justifies his role as Sid and perfectly represents the current Indian youth of today. This is good romantic/comedy movie to watch.

Movie Reviews and Ratings of Mughal-e-Azam
Storyline
Mughal-e-Azam was the most successful movie of the 60’s with the towering performances from Dilip Kumar, Prithviraj Kapoor and beautiful Madhubala. Mughal-e-Azam is about Price Salim who is in love with court dancer Anarkali and wants to marry her. She is just a court dancer and she does not have status to marry a prince of the Mughal empire and is severley opposed by Akbar.
But on the other hand Salim was in deep love with Anarkali and wants to marry her at any cost and for this he accepts her father’s challenge to fight with the Mughal troops. Akbar who is right on his part as how a prince of the Mughal empire marry a so call court dancer and Salim thinks from his heart and sees nothing wrong following his heart beating for Anarkali. The rift between Akbar and Salim was fascinating to watch. Every dialog was well written and more than anything else beautifully delivered by Prithviraj Kapoor and Dilip Kumar. Dilip Kumar is also known as “Tragedy King” of Indian cinema.
Madhubala was the queen on grace and beauty; she was one of the most beautiful actresses of Indian cinema. Madhubala was perfect for Anarkali’s role as it needed someone with simplicity and grace to justify court dancers that do not have status make Mughal prince mad about her beauty. Unfortunately Madhubala died at a very early age with a complicated heart disease in London.
Final Thoughts
Mughal-e-Azam was one of the most expensive movies of 60’s era and half shot in Eastman color. Mughal-e-Azam was one of the best classical movie of all time and this was also listed in the top 50 must watch Indian movies by www.imdb.com. Movie has given some unforgettable moments to Indian cinema and still inspires new directors and actors of our time. Director K. Asif was amongst very few directors in free India creating on screen magic with his excellent screenplay.
