Om Puri, Aasif Mandvi

Sony Pictures, 2003

quite intriguing
i agree with the comments made about the lack of storyline and the slightly abrupt ending to the movie. frankly though, the time period and culture depicted in the movie was engrossing enough to make me forget about the storyline. the language, the scenery, the ...

Kyun! Ho Gaya Na

Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai

Eros Entertainment, 2006

C'mon, Charlie - this one's got Aishwarya Rai!
Fun loving, happy-go-lucky Arjun Khanna (Vivek Oberoi) believes in the tried-and-true tradition of arranged marriages. And why not? It worked well for his father and his grandfather and so on. His battle cry is "love and defeat are not part of my vocabulary!" So even ...

Parvez was born in Pakistan and moved to London some twenty five years earlier. He has mostly assimilated into his new cultural milieu and considers religion to be a secondary aspect of his overall identity. So much so, our central character has become something of a ...

Singh Is Kinng - DVD (2008) - Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif

Studio 18, 2008

Singh is Box Office Kinng
Three and a half stars for this one. Okay, SINGH IS KINNG is pretty silly, but tubloads of fun. It's mostly a comedy but with several action sequences thrown in. And, naturally, a romantic subplot creeps in. In the Punjab region there sits a tiny village, in ...

East Is East

Om Puri, Linda Bassett

Miramax, 2000

Compelling Storytelling
With a rare combination of edge, grit, song and dance, heart, obscenity, and hilarity, the director takes this stage play and turns it into an unrelenting examination of the explosive tensions involved in a Pakistani family's assimilation into British society. The ...

Code 46

Tim Robbins, Togo Igawa

MGM (Video & DVD), 2004

It's about more than emotion vs. science
I saw this movie some years ago and liked it a lot. What I remember most about it is something that is not mentioned in the last ten or so reviews: that it is not only government that has taken away liberties in this dystopian world, but also, and critically, private ...

The Mystic Masseur

East-West

Linda Bassett, Sandrine Bonnaire

Sony Pictures, 2000

If they did this to their own people, imagine what they did to others
In an age of political correctness it is refreshing to see a movie that isn't reluctant to portray the evils of communism. I find it somehow ironic that this lesson on the evils of communism should come from a French-Russian production, and wonder if there are enough ...
