****Worth a watch*********
Although Ghajini is a scene by scene copy of Tamil Superhit Ghajini it is certainly worth a watch. Aamir Khan has done a good job with his herculean body suits pretty well. The Tamil director who has directed the Hindi version as well has managed to keep the audience on the feet. Asin is superb with her acting and her simpleness. Jiah Khan does not have any special thing to offer. The scenes are well placed. Songs could have been reduced and just makes the audience lose grip of the film. Villains do look serious but make us laugh.
Overall a good rating

HINDI MOVIE - MAHARATHI
Starring - 4 Legends - Paresh Rawal, Naseeruddin Shah, Om Puri and Boman Irani
Rating: Good
I can assure yoiu can watch the movie once atleast for the presence of all legendary actors,. Even if some might be wasted in it. Inspired by Uttam Gada's gujrathi Play this movie provides curiosity to the viewers. However its difficult to match pace of Plays with films
Its not a perfect films and has lot of ups and downs.
The story goes Paresh Rawal wants to be successful in films. One night, he saves a man's life. He brings him home who is Naseeruddin Shah who is a rich man Soon enough, Subhash (Paresh Rawal) is hired by the grateful Adenwalla (NS) as his driver. The evil wife, Mallika [Neha Dhupia], hates Subhash for his proximity to her husband.
Subhash is now firmly ensconced in Adenwallas' house and discovers his wife's evil designs. On the other hand, Adenwalla, driven to the point of insanity by his money-hungry wife, decides to take the ultimate revenge. NS commits suicide . Subhash takes this as an opportunity to get rid himself of a lifetime of middle class mediocrity and poverty. He teamups with Mallika to get all the money and property. They have a caretaker [Tara Sharma], with the help of their family lawyer Mr. Merchant [Boman Irani], to be a witness to an ailing Mr. Adenwalla's presence in the house. But their plans are shattered with the arrival of ACP Gokhale [Om Puri] and Inspector Borkar [Vivek Shauq] into the picture.
Director Shivam Nair has shot the film well, but he should have opted for a far more convincing screenplay. There are no songs in the movie

Inconsistent script is the drawback of the movie however MAHARATHI has several well-executed sequences which could have been a treat to watch with a stronger script
Overall, MAHARATHI arouses some curiosity but is lead down by the script

HINDI MOVIE- SORRY BHAI
STARRING: SHARMAN JOSHI, SANJAY SURI, BOMAN IRANI, CHITRANGADA SINGH AND SHABANA AZMI
Review: FAIR / GOOD (In Between)
The line SORRY BHAI is ‘Come fall in love with your brother’s bride’ should keep you away from the movie. This line explains it all. The story is about a family of 4 Sanjay Suri and Shrman as brothers and Shabana Azmi and Boman Irani as mom and dad
Sanjay Suri is all set to marry Chitrangada Singh in Mauritius without her mom's permission but is too busy to give time to her and instead his brother takes Chitrangada to various places. As happens in every hindi movie both are attracted to each other and things get to a different extent altogether. Thats the story . All actors except Sanjay Suri have done justice to the role. Chitrangada is very impressive and will go a long way in future. Sharman deserves more movies and is awesome. Sanjay Suri is as bad as he can. In all better than fair

Hindi Movie Review - Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!
Starring: Abhay Deol, Neetu Chandra, Paresh Rawal
Review: Fair
From the makers of Khosla Ka Ghosla comes another fair movie which is light hearted and good to watch if you just want to laugh a while. Absolutely no strong story line which just revolves round the hero Abhay Deol. Abhay Deol is a thief and the story is all about how he moves to the world of crime. He along with Paresh Rawal in Triple Role have tried to tickle you a bit.
The film starts off very well as Abhay's motive to steal is presented. He goes through the regular teenage adolescence, and first dibs. He believes everyone has the right to a luxurious living and makes his first robbery too.
The film goes into Lucky's trapeze into the life of crime from his teenage days, when he viewed the high life of the South Delhiite. His father beats him and denies him anything that he asks for. When Lucky asks for a scooter and father denies, he makes off with a motorbike and his girlfriend. Before you know it, Lucky is one of the biggest crime lords of the city, with his henchman Goga (Paresh Rawal). He amasses enough money to buy a toaster for his girlfriend's mom, to refurnish his house and to start a restaurant with a vet-turned-conman (Rawal again)
The screenplay depends heavily on the actors to make up for its weak base. Also music is a big no no. If you have an option watch another movie

HINDI MOVIE REVIEW - YUVRAJ
MY RATING: FAIR
Did you think the movie is all focussed on Salman .....No its more on Anil Kapoor. The master actor has taken over the attention in the film. Yes it does start with the superb location of Austria and then london the entire movie is picturised in Europe. The chemistry of the couple is good. The story starts with love story of Salman with Katrina who cannot live without each other. Sallu and Kat are musicians. Kats Father Boman Irani does not like Sallu and Kat wants to marry Salman with permission of her Father. Here starts Sallu trying to get wealthy. Salmans Dad is a multi billionaire who kicks out Salman from his life 12 yrs ago. Now his Father dies and leaves behind a will. Then is the entry our other heroes Anil and Zayed. Anil acts as a mentally retarded boy and is the eldest of the three while Zayed a flamboyant rich boy who finds himself no where after the will is announced by the Lawyer Mithunda.
Here Salman and Zayed get into a partnership to get 100% share of the property. Whats happens next and how the three brothers unite is the story. All in all an OK movie. Katrina looks innocently beautiful. Salman and Zayed have done a fair bit but can done better. Some scenes are touchy and emotional. Anil Kapoor is in his best as usual. This veteran and versatile actor has done justice to the role. Like other Subhash Ghai movies sets are amazing.
