The director who made arguably the best Bollywood love story of the 90s ( Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge ) returns a slightly evolved filmmaker with realistic sensibilities that reek of Shimit Amin’s style in Chak De India , but not without the baggage of weepy sentimentality that has by now become synonymous with the Yashraj stamp.‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ is a love story you almost want to believe in.
Cast: Shahrukh Khan, Anushka Sharma

MAHARATHI is an out and out Paresh Rawal fare. And no one is complaining. This here is an actor par excellence and he once again proves his mettle. A conman who gets a lucky break, he goes on to become a crorepati. Of course, there is lots of quick wit, and this is exactly what makes the movie tick.

When you walk into a film that’s a Dharma Production and is being directed by someone who has been an AD to Karan Johar for years, you expect the best but you don’t want to see another KJo film. And thankfully Dostana does just that – it gives you the glam quotient you associate with Karan and all his films but it also gives you the edgy and hatke thinking of a new director on the circuit.

Every city has its own charm and character.If Mumbai has its own lingo, so do other Indian cities.Capturing this beautifully is director Dibakar Banerjee’s second film (after the well-reviewed Khosla Ka Ghosla) Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!.The city here is Delhi, which Banerjee has presented as you have never seen before — a hotch potch of people drawn from all stratas of the society.
