Annarth (2002)

Posted by Babu Rao on 14 Nov 2008 | Tagged as: After 2000, Thriller, Drama, Action

Being the directorial debut of Ravi Dewan, whose forte is fights and stunts, the film relies too heavily on action sequences more than anything else.The film’s climax in particular is replete with adrenalin savvy sequences of bomb blasts and gunfights.The film is based on an oft-repeated subject that does not leave much impact on the viewer.Even the director’s presentation is shoddy and screenplay is marred with jerky editing.

Cast: Sanjay Dutt, Sunil Shetty, Ashutosh Rana

Shoot on Sight (2008) MQ

Posted by Babu Rao on 25 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: Thriller, Drama, 2008

Shoot on Sight, the title refers to a contentious, post-9/11 British law-enforcement policy, doesn’t make pulses pound in the tradition of a big Hollywood police thriller but instead focuses on the human story and that’s what is more commendable.Undoubtedly it is a relevant film that comes a little late in the day because stories of terrorism and profiling of the Muslim community have already become a tad stereotypical.

Cast: Naseeruddin Shah, Brian Cox, Greta Scacchi, Om Puri

Hijack (2008) HQ

Posted by octron on 20 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: HQ, Thriller, Action, 2008

You like the film despite itself. It has all the regular trappings that have become a rule-book for a Bolly thriller – fidayeen terrorists, a helpess government, a man wronged, and the ultimate film manipulation tool – a cutesy kid in danger.

Cast: Shiney Ahuja,K K Raina,Mona Ambegaonkar,Kaveri Jha,Esha Deol

Sheesha (2005) Fixed

Posted by octron on 12 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: After 2000, Thriller, Drama

Sometimes Mirorr Lies
Neha Dhupia plays desi Sharon Stone in a modern-day version of the good twin-bad twin saga that Rakhee had pulled off in Subodh Mukherjee’s “Sharmilee” more than three decades ago. Siya is love, Riya is lust, and the rest is one huge libidinous cat-and-mouse game with the mute Riya posing as Siya to get her sister’s man into bed.

Hello (2008) MQ -Fixed-

Posted by octron on 11 Oct 2008 | Tagged as: Thriller, Drama, 2008

Hello starts with a thud as a fully clothed Salman Khan jumps off a chopper and dances to ‘Bang Bang Bang’ on a stage where – needless to say – he takes off his shirt to flaunt his finely waxed chest and abs to a crowd of swooning and fainting girls. Thereafter, the rockstar (Salman is, we’re told) in his long leather overcoat and conspicuously visible hair implants retires to a lounge to rest while a technical snag in his chopper is being fixed. There and then, walks in a beauty ( Katrina Kaif ) who tells him a story.

Cast: Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Sohail Khan, Sharman Joshi and Isha Koppikar
