Slumdog Millionaire

Despite focusing very hard to ignore the hype, the movie disappointed. Came across as a regular Bollywood movie with the customary sentimentality and tactless script. However, with the slick production and some reasonable performances, makes it a reasonable watch. But thats about it really. No comparison to some other great films in the genre. Like a friend said - its got no soul.

Calcutta Mail

Anil Kapoor land up in Calcutta trying to play the mysterious man looking for someone. He meets Rani Mukherjee who tries to play the mysterious damsel in distress. 140 minutes of pure crap. Find it hard to believe that the same Sudhir Mishra who directed Chameli and Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi was also behind this film.
