Pairon Talle

Review :- It’s Dilli again. Minus Chandni Chowk and chaat, baraats and bhangra, lassi and ladkis. Not that there’s anything wrong with Delhi a few shades duller, but the film…

English Vinglish

Review :- Shashi Godbole(Sridevi) is your average, upper-middle-class mother of two, whose special skills also include making ladoos. In fact, she’s so good in her sweetmeat that she even markets…

Riwayat

Review :- Riwayat opens with a shocking statistic – 100 million girls are missing around the world. They’re killed at birth or even before they’re born. That’s dramatic enough for…
