Beera kidnaps Dev's wife Ragini (Aishwarya) because he has some scores to settle with the cops. Instead of killing her, he ends up subtly romancing her.
If you haven’t seen Majid Majidi’s Children Of Heaven, the celebrated Iranian film of which Bumm Bumm Bole is a scene-to-scene desi adaptation, chances are that you will easily enjoy this effort from Priyadarshan. There is enough simplicity and warmth to the story that both children and adults will find endearing.
BUMM BUMM BOLE is a film which talks about unique brother-sister relationship. Priyadarshan has very perceptively carved out the innocent and poignant story of two siblings and the dilemmas they face in life and how they fight their way to overcome it. BUMM BUMM BOLE is sure to bring out the hidden child inside all of us… Two little feet, one long journey.Badmaash Company” is an extremely smart and smart-looking film. But its sassy all-knowing tone cannot hide a certain bankruptcy of genuinely inventive ideas. This is a fatally-flawed film about seriously flawed characters. The packaging is glamorous but not over-done. The dialogues convey a ring of truth without bending backwards to be cool.
Chase never quite overcomes the cheesy impulse, moving from one absurd episode to another, not quite the pacy thriller that one would think the introductory chase would lead us into.
Speaking of the great outdoors, there's a romantic song, totally out of place, shot picturesquely in Jammu and Kashmir.
This is a sly tongue firmly and stubbornly in cheek, slick and chic comedy about a loser, or a panauti – a word that recurs ad nauseum in this glorious gasbag of giggles, winks, nudges and innuendos packaged with such polished panache that you don’t really care what the inter-relations in the parodic plot finally signify.
Released Friday, the comic caper opened with more than 2000 screens worldwide and garnered a collection of Rs.48 crore gross in India and Rs.16 crore overseas in its first weekend.Mundhra’s “Apartment” reads like a frighteningly disembodied episode, neither passionate nor bloody enough to qualify as a genuine slasher flick, of a television mini-series built around the theme of suburban loneliness. We’ve seen many films on the theme of what Mumbai does to the outsider. This one, by its own subverted logic, shows the outsider, a mentally disturbed girl from rural Maharashtra, creating havoc in a neatly-arrange spick-and-span apartment block somewhere in downtown Mumbai.
Director Mahesh Manjrekar has thought out an interesting subject. He begins on track but somewhere along loses grip and instead of focusing on mill workers and their plight, he moves off, and takes cinematic liberties focusing more on crime and more crime. Yes, the movie is hard-hitting and thought provoking. But to an extent. However, it does not let you empathize with what the mill workers went through. Instead, what you get is a VAASTAV like situation. Son taking to crime. Of course, the mother does not shoot him.
Its time for the entire production unit to go back to school. The basics of filmmaking are all wrong. There is no script, no screenplay and the plot is so unbelievable that you almost want to reach out and slap the characters on screen mean people walking all over you and you taking it all were what we saw in films of the late eighties. When actors like Shoma Anand and Raj Kiran played characters that harassed the good guys in a family. Bollywood has progressed beyond all that insane nonsense.
They don’t make’em like they used to. Those wholesome take-home-to-mama type of girls. And they don’t make such innocent ‘yeh-kahan-aa-gaye-hum’ rom-coms either. So naturally, or not so naturally, writer-turned-director Milap Zaveri gets his heroine, the toothy, endearing, and fetching Jacqueline Fernandez to fly down to earth from Venus. One-way, business-class. Women, we were always told, were from Venus. Now we’ve proof of that. :)
If a fledgling Great Britain with its poodle status in global affairs can have a super-stylish, self-serious Bond, a massively scaled MI 6 that can change or blow up the world, no one need snigger that India has a daddy-agency called IGRIP (Indian Government Research whatever).

Sunny Deol is back with a bang. This time, in a powerful thriller, with a generous dose of Deol action. It's a game of Hide and Seek; a plot, which pairs two thoroughbred cops, who are best of friends, in a volatile courtroom drama that threatens to tear the fabric of their friendship. One is out to prove that the other has committed a premeditated, cold-blooded murder, the other maintains his innocence.
