Director Pradeep Sarkar has made good movie inspired by the story of Saratchandra’s novel. It is well written and directed movie by Pradeep Sarkar as expected. Every character in the movie has done the perfect job.
Final Thoughts
Parineeta is a well directed movie by Pradeep Sarkar, manages to get the best out of all the characters. Best on the novel of Saratchandra’s Chatterjee written in mid 90’d but looks a fresh story. Vidya Balan has shows that she has talent and she can portray different style of characters. She has shows lots of grace in the movie, Saif Ali Khan was first time look very natural in Parineeta that show that he is improving. Sanjay Dutt shows flow less in his royal touch. Music is the soul of the movie with the song like “Piyu Bole” and “kasto mazza” are the pick of the songs. Shantanu Moitra did a fantastic job as Parineeta becomes his first hit movie.
Rating
Parieeta scores 7.5 out of 10 for it good movie to watch with good story, top class narration and finest screenplay. Parineeta again proves all you need a good story to make a hit.

Director: Kunal Kohli
Time: 2004

Snapshot of the story
Hum Tum is love story story of flirty, careless, disrespecting guy Karan Kapoor and simple girl Rhea. Their love story starts with a fight like all other love stories usually do, then patch up and fall in love again with each other. There are too many emotional scenes in the movie, especially with Rani Mukherjee that might bore you.
Movie Reviews and rating - Hum Tum
Storyline
Karan Kapoor (played by Saif Ali Khan) is a cartoonist at the news paper agency and has his best cartoons going under the name “HUM TUM”. He is a careless, frivolous and flirty guy having no space for girl’s feelings. Rhea is a simple girl (played by Rani Mukherjee), both of them meet on their way to New York. Two of them are opposite poles and has a big difference in their practical view towards life – especially love. In order to put the things right Karan kisses Rhea which results in the fight between them and leads to much resentment for each other.
After this incident they co-incidentally meet again at different places and the drama continues. Karan joins with his mother’s event management company to manage a wedding and there he comes to know that Rhea is getting married to Sameer (Abhishek Bachchan). Few years later when Karan goes to Paris to visit his father he finds broken Rhea who has become a widow as her husband died in an accident. He now being mature helps Rhea to get out of the sad situation but unfortunately does not succeed, then he meets her mother and promises her to bring the best groom for Rhea but he fails there too. It was good to see the guy who does not believe in relationship and used to say that love does not exists looking for a commitment.
Gorgeous Rani Mukherjee with cute and handsome Saif Ali Khan have given a good performance as expected. Saif Ali Khan was a perfect cast for Karana’s role and so did Rani in her emotional scenes. Director Kunal Kohli has shot the film exceedingly well and has extracted best performances from all the actors of the movie. Knitting animation Alias “Hum Tum” with the storyline was amazing idea of Karan Kohli to be appreciated.
Final Thoughts
Movie is good emotional love story and gives many chances to laugh but some where movie fails to convince the audience. Story narration is weak, which is something he will learn over a period of time. “Hum Tum” is yet another mile stone is Jatin-Lalit’s professional life with good mix of light romantic songs to disco and Hip Hop track by Rishi Rich.
Rating
“Hum Tum” bags 7 out of 10 stars for the outstanding performance by all the actors, good music and exotic location of Europe. Strong storyline and screenplay would have made it bigger box office hit.

Movie reviews and ratings of Ghajini
Storyline
Sanjay Singhania (played by Amir Khan) is a business tycoon of India. He was residing in a foreign country for a long time and not many people knew him. As a result of this a girl named Kalpana (played by Asin), who is a junior actor in the film industry spreads the rumor that they are having an affair. Sanjay starts getting calls from every one and becomes annoyed and he decides to meet up with Kalpana. When Sanjay meet Kalpana, she thinks that he is also junior artist and wants a small role in movie. They start interacting on this basis and Sanjay develops feelings for Kalpana and he decides that he will tell Kalpana who he really is and from where he comes from.
Story takes a violent turn as Kaplana saves an orphaned girls from the mafia gang whose leader is Ghajini (played by Pradeep Rawat). This brave act of her creates problems for her and she becomes the enemy of Ghajini. Ghajini decides to kill Kalpana and this is all witnessed by Sanjay. While saving Kaplana Sanjay gets very badly hurt and can only remember short term memories and can not remember anything more than 15 minutes.
Now Sanjay is living a life of a patient whose memory resets every fifteen minutes and he literally lives one life for fifteen minutes only. He keeps his memory alive through the writings and snapping photos with captions to remember important persons and places. The only thing he remembers is the name Ghajini but he is unable to remember who is he and what is his relationship with him. Then comes a girl (Jia Khan) who reveals his past life and helps him in finding Ghajini.
Final Thought
Ghajini is yet another movie with Aamir’s midas touch, his special look for movie was very much popular and for this movie only he worked so hard to create six-pack abs. Aamir is Mr. Perfectionist and he proved yet again with so much dedication for his role. Ghajini is first Bollwood movie for Asin and she looked very beautiful. Ghajini is remake of Tamil (regional language of South India) version of Ghajini made by A.R. Murugadoss. Ghanjini is fast paced action movie and engages audience with every scene in movie. A.R. Rahman did fantastic job in hit making music which was difficult task for movie like Ghajini.
Rating
Ghajini scores 8 points out of 10 for being a complete entertainer and 1 extra start for Aamir’s dedication and marketing skills, which make 9 out 10.

Storyline
Akash (played by Salman Khan) is a son of a very big businessman living a luxurious life. One day they go to an orphanage where Aman meets Akash one of the handicapped orphans in the orphanage, both of them become friends and Aman insists to his parents to take Akash to their home along with them.
In response to this Aman’s parents agree to adopt Akash. Akash and Aman grow up as brothers with all the things getting equally but the difference between both of them is that Aman is a womanizer wandering around with girls while Akash is a responsible guy who looks after the business of his father and writes poems as a hobby in the name of “Sagar”. When the poetry book of Sagar releases into the market he becomes very popular as the book becomes an instant hit. Pooja (played by Madhuri Dixit) is a book stall owner and a fan of Sagar. Pooja is an excellent dancer and recites Sagar’s poet in her songs during her dance performances.
Aman on his business trip meets Pooja and falls in love with her and realizes that Pooja like Sagar, however he never share his feeling with Pooja. When Akash finally meets Pooja he also falls in love with Pooja and Akash shares his feeling for Pooja with Aman. Aman think that this is the right time to repay what Akash’s parents did for him and introduce Akash as Sagar to Pooja.
Saajan becomes the emotional drama like all love stories in Indian cinema as Akash comes to know that for him Aman has sacrificed his love for Pooja.
Final Thoughts
Saajan is an emotionally tangled love story of 90’s and reminds us the classical love story Sangam by legendary Raj Kapoor. Sanjay Dutt was outstanding in Saajan so as Madhuri Dixit. For Director Lawrence D’Souza this is the first big hit, with Saajan he shows that he can make very emotional love stories. Duo Nadeem-Shrawan was exceptional with Saajan’s romantic music.
Rating
We give Saajan 7 out of 10 for strong story narration, good handling to twist in the story and for Nadeem-Shrawan’s music that topped the charts for a long time.

The Young Love Story - Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
Wednesday, December 14th, 2011
Movie: Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
Director: Abbas Tyrewala
Time: 2008
Stars: Imran Khan, Genelia D’souza and Manjari Fadnis
Snapshot of the story
“Jaane tu Ya Jane Na” is an outstanding fun flick from many of the first time debutants like Imran Khan (actor) and Abbas Tyrewala (director). A love story blended with a very close friendship due to which both of the lovers deny their love and think themselves as only good friends. The story is based on the same plot like that of ‘Quyamat Se Quyamat Tak” being a teenage love story. But it is the art director who is able to present it differently.
Movie Reviews and Ratings of Jumpdates
Storyline
“Jaane Tu ya Jaane Na” is a story of a gang of 6 friends where Jai Singh Rathore aka Rats (played by Imran Khan) and Aditi Mahant aka Meow (played by Genelia D’souza) are the close friends. They are almost made for each other, everyone including their parents, friends knows this fact but they deny and say that they are just simply good friends and nothing more, But it is also another fact that both of them feel uneasy being away from each other.
Once Jai is called by Aditi’s parents for a talk about their engagement but both Jai and Aditi act childishly and reject the proposal. As a result of this Aditi’s parents starts searching for another guy who can be her life partner. When they get the perfect one, they engage Aditi with him. Now the pace of movie is slow and it is stretched a bit, but this is the most interesting part of the movie as due to jealousy from Aditi’s fiancé Jai looks for a girlfriend for himself. In the meantime, both Aditi and Jai realized their love for each other and start seeking each other out to find out whether the love is from both ends or not.
Final Thoughts
Debutant director Abbas Tyrewala did an excellent job. “Jane Tu Ya Jaane Na” very simple story and does not have any thing that excites audience but it is the story narration that did the trick and it became a hit. Debutant Imran Khan - nephew of Amir Khan has done an outstanding job along with Genelia D’souza and gave the best performance. A.R. Rahman was up to the task in making the music for a romantic comedy. Naseerudin Shah and Ratna Pathak Shah, being both mature actors justified their presence on the screen.
Rating
“Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na” scores 8 points out of 10 for the outstanding job done by each and every member of the crew. Movie did well in the box office collecting about $20 million which is quite an achievement.
