19. Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna (Hindi) (6/10)
This one is a very sweet and simple film. Unfortunately these kind of films don't work today. After some financial problems, Salman Khan goes to Singapore and his wife Kareena decide to stay back in Melbourne. She starts to work at the airport where Sohail Khan also works and falls in love for Mrs. Khanna. As expected, misunderstandings between the couple are cleared. Salman and Kareena live happily and move to Singapore while Sohail still awaits his Mrs. Khanna.

18. All The Best (Hindi) (6/10)
This one thankfully was not as mindless as I thought it would. It had a decent plot of mistaken identities of wife swapping. When Sanjay Dutt gives surprise visit to Fardeen, he mistakenly takes Bipasha to be his wife who is actually Ajay Devgan's wife. A few sub plots with some character artists keep the humour quotient of the film going. Just relax and enjoy this comedy.

17. Jail (Hindi) (4/10)
By unfortunate turn of events, Neil Nitin Mukesh finds himself in Jail being tortured by police for drugs. After initial horror he gives in to prison anarchy while the Indian Judicial system takes its own sweet time to have a hearing for his case left alone prove him innocent. Manoj Vajpai is his only salvation in prison who believes in his innocence. Neil has acted very well but the screenplay of the film was not very tight. There were unwanted characters which made the film drag in places. Madhur's earlier films were tight and crisp but this one somehow fails to hold the attention.

16. The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (Portuguese) (3.5/10)
São Paulo, 1970, the World Cup Soccer Games, Young Mauro is swept away from his home by his parents to live in São Paulo with his grandfather: his parents tell him they are going on 'vacation' while in reality they are escaping the dictatorial 'disappearances' that challenged the Brazil of the time. It ends up that the grandfather has died. His Jewish neighbor takes care of him. The story winds through the disparities of Jewish life and the governmental changes that are disrupting the flow of this important year for Brazil and how Mauro manages to live alone all along till his mother finally comes back

15. What's Your Raashee? (Hindi) (4/10)
The idea was good in TV series Mr. Yogi but in a film, it just keeps stretching. Initially I was excited but slowly when I realized how many more Priyanka's I will have to watch (making it a 3 plus hour movie), my interest kept reducing. I liked the songs and they fitted well in the film. Harman Baweja did well but Priyanka actually disappointed. Though all her 12 characters were quite different from each other, but something was missing. Director's fault I guess.

14. Blue (Hindi) (5/10)
A good attempt but sadly the outcome is not what one expected. Publicized as a treasure hunt movie, the movie barely had 10 minutes of treasure hunt. Otherwise it was usual. Zayed takes mony from Rahul Dev and now he doesn't have it to return. He comes to Bahamas to live with his brother Sanjay Dutt who works in Akshay's shipping company. Akshay keeps asking Sanjay Dutt to go find hidden treasure in the sea since he knows it but he wouldn't go until now he has to in order to protect Zayed. Surprise surprise, all miseries of Zayed were thanks to Akshay Kumar himself but he wanted to clean his family name.

13. Wanted (Hindi) (7/10)
A total masala Bollywood flick. It has action, emotion, comedy, romance, drama and guess what, its actually entertaining. Its silly to think one man being so powerful but once in a while its good to watch and live with escapist cinema which in the process also entertains you. Salman Khan and Ayeha Takia both suited the role. Its a god directorial debut for Prabhu Deva as well.

12. Twilight (7/10)
The first in series of Vampire based films based on the novels. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film a year after it was released. The love story between an innocent girl who falls for vampire was interesting. I thought the visuals were good and the acting was impressive as well. The movie now is prompting me to read the book. Lets see if I can do that. Definitely worth a watch

11. Lawn Dogs (3/10)
Newly arrived in an up-market housing development, quiet ten-year-old Devon doesn’t quite fit in. Ignoring the urgings of her social-climbing father, Devon chooses the company of Trent, who mows the estate’s lawns, rather than of the girls her own age. Their friendship grows during her visits to his trailer home, but although it is completely innocent it is obvious that it would be unacceptable to the residents if they found out.

10. 2012 (6.5/10)
Exactly what I was expecting from this disaster film. Dumb storyline but excellent visuals. Put your brains aside and try not to find logic as to how John Cusack is able to save his family and others. This movie is strictly to enjoy for its visuals. I loved one line from a review that Cusack I read "The world is dying and somehow we are only supposed to worry about John and his family" and thats exactly what the film is about. I wishes they had dealt more with history on how Mayans predicted the end of world in 2012.
