22. The Blind Side (7/10)
A well to do family of Sandra Bullock adapt Big Mike who has no knowledge of his family and his strengths and goes on to become one of the most famous football players in American history. The film is very interesting and no doubts that Sandra Bullock has acted really well. The film is intelligent, genuine, and alternately funny and moving.
21. Harishchandrachi Factory (Marathi) (6/10)
It was a very interesting film about Dada Saheb Phalke who is credited for making the first ever Indian film. The film shows how he got interested into films, and the troubles and risks he had to go through to make this first film. The most impressive for me was the fact that he could never have done anything without the great support of his wife. Interesting film for movie lovers to learn how this whole film industry started.
20. Bombay Summer (English/Hindi) (6.5/10)
Bombay Summer explores the fleeting and delicate friendship between three young people and its eventual disintegration in the face of betrayal and personal loss. Set in contemporary India, the film subtly mirrors the turmoil within tradition bound Indian society as it copes with change and rapid modernization. This film has some of the best and most natural acting I have seen specially by Tanishtha Chatterjee and the guy playing the part of Madan. A definite watch.
19. Veer (Hindi) (5.5/10)
It was alright. Novel story and total entertainment. The film lost its direction when it unnecessarily focussed too much on love story in London. The other thing was how tired and lost Salman looked in various parts of the film with his puffy eyes and unnecessary shouting. The film could do with some serious editing. Strictly timepass
18. Karthik Calling Karthik (Hindi) (7/10)
Farhan Akhtar has arrived. He is dam n good in this film. Even concept wise, I think the story is very interesting that of a schizophrenic guy trying to cope up with himself and helping him become and extrovert from introvert. Deepika lends a good supporting hand. I think she looked gorgeous throughout the film. There was nothing histrionic that she had to do in acting department anyway.
17. Veronica Guerin (6/10)
This is a biopic of an Irish journalist who became the first woman to fight against the drug usage that had taken over Dublin which lead to her ultimate death in 1996. Recommendable for Blanchett's performance.
16. The Game (7/10)
Rich Michael Douglas is given a gift by his brother Sean Penn to play 'The Game' to bring some excitement in his life. Before he knows the game has even begun, Douglas is caught up in a series of unexplained events designed to strip him of his tenuous security and cast him into a maelstrom of chaos. How do you play a game that hasn't any rules? That's what Douglas has to figure out, and he can't always rely on his intelligence to form logic out of what's happening to him. The film was very very interesting. I just wished it was not this long.
15. Rokkk (Hindi) (3.5/10)
Rokkk is based on a combination of supernatural thoughts and Inevitable emotions. Story of 2 sisters, younger one Udita Goswami is on a mission to find elder sister Tanushree when she disappears after killing her husband. Its all because of a cursed house and now everyone has to bear the consequences. Sad film
14. Prem Ka Game (Hindi) (0.5/10)
I dont even wanna write about this film. This one should be an embarrassment to Arbaaz Khan and Salman Khan as well to do even a cameo in the film. Pathetic
13. Lions of Punjab Presents (Indian English) (6/10)
I finally got to see this film and I thoroughly enjoyed the film. The film is about Hindi singing contest to find that one desi voice of America. The film is cheeky, with good humor, nice nice music an very realistic. Definitely recommended.

April is going slow too
12. Idiot Box (Hindi) (0/10)
Sushant Singh, please excuse us and stop doing these lame ass, half baked movies. You are embarrassing us
11. Cellular (2.5/10)
After getting a frantic call on his cell phone from a kidnapped woman, a young man must battle his way through a ruthless world of lies and murder to rescue her. A fast-paced thriller. But I had already seen the hindi inspired version 'Speed' featuring Urmila etc. Bore !!
10. Hum Tum Aur Ghost (Hindi) (3.5/10)
Inspired by the film 'Ghost Town', I dunno what Arshad saw in the story (credited to himself) to produce it. How could you even think that the film is gonna make any business. Dia Mirza was good in the film though
9. Toh Baat Pakki (Hindi) (5/10)
Tabu was great in the film. The film itself doesn't offer much but it was very interesting to see Tabu as this manipulative elder sister who all she wants is the best groom for her little sister. Draggy, a little boring but still enjoyable.
8. Na Ghar Ke Na Ghaat Ke (Hindi) (6.5/10)
Very rarely you get to see a film that is totally rooted in Indian soil and sentiments. I completely enjoyed each and every moment in the film. There was nothing over the top and it was real. I thought the actor/director did a very very good job.
7. An Education (6/10)
Carey Mulligan is brilliant in the role of a young school girl who fall sin love with a rich older man and suddenly her life becomes all about enjoying and hanging out with rich and because oif this she starts questioning the whoel reason for education. Ultimately as expected, she is hurt and realizes that education is the only things that remains with you. Recommended.
6. Precious (6.5/10)
Precious Jones, an inner-city high school girl, is illiterate, overweight, and pregnant…again. Naïve and abused, Precious responds to a glimmer of hope when a door is opened by an alternative-school teacher. She is faced with the choice to follow opportunity and test her own boundaries. Prepare for shock, revelation and celebration. In my opinion, the lead actress definitely deserved an oscar.
5. Hide & Seek (Hindi) (4.5/10)
A tribute to 'I know what you did last sumer', film plays out as a cat-and-mouse game, with the friends captured in the mall taking their own lead in unmasking the killer before he can diminish their ranks. Strictly ok.
4. Chance Pe Dance (Hindi) (2/10)
Bad film. Why did even Shahid choose to do this film. Story, songs even dancing was bad. Usual chirpy Genelia also could not save this film. A very poor excuse for a film. I am still waiting for that exclusive dance film in bollywood.
3. Love, Sex Aur Dhoka (Hindi) (5/10)
I think the overhype of this film killed all the fun for me. I thought it was just alright. There was nothing extraordinary for me. Yes it is scary that these days cameras can record each and every action of ours but then we all know by now. The 3 different stories were definilety real and inter-related but thats it. Maybe I am missing something that others see.
2. Sherlock Holmes (7/10)
Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law put memorable imprints on Holmes and Watson. I enjoyed each and every single moment of this film. Exactly the kind of films that I enjoy
1. Right Yaaa Wrong (Hindi) (7/10)
Now this was a good film. Sad that the movie was not promoted well. Story and direction is very well . Sunny and Irfan have acted their parts very well. Isha And Konkona dont have much to in the film but I would strongly recommend this to everyone. Good film
