Director: Manish Tiwari
Rating: **
One is a cool dude and the other is a rustic who wants to be a student leader. But the twain do meet in writer-director Manish Tiwari’s maiden venture “Dil Dosti Etc”.
However, one wonders why Tiwari with all his creative and other resources, including authentic locales, in-sync music and credible actors, couldn’t come up with a film that compares favourably with other films about college life and coming of age. (Read the article)

Cast: Dharmendra, Neil Mukesh Mathur, Rimi Sen, Vinay Pathak, Zakir Husain
Director: Sriram Raghavan
Rating: ***
Some films exude a cultivated cool. Others are born with it. Sriram Raghavan’s “Johny Gaddar” belongs to the category of naturally cool.
Simmering with an urbane discontent and exerting an anxious debate on the power of money to dominate morality, “Johnny Gaddar” is a homage to many things - It’s a tribute to R.K. Narayan, as Rimi Sen is caught reading Narayan’s “Guide” in the opening sequence, James Hadley Chase, Jyoti Swaroop’s “Parwana”, Vijay Anand’s “Johnny Mera Naam”, Ram Gopal Varma …you name it!

Director: Anant Mahadevan
Rating: **
Having been assured by director Anant Mahadevan that this is an original story, let me at the outset say writer S. Farhan has written a riveting manuscript on the anatomy of infidelity. Mahadevan has filmed the thriller with that trademark sparkle which distinguishes this underrated director from his popular peers.
Well-packaged and evenly narrated, “Aggar” has a plot that keeps the narration going at a hot trot till the very last visual spills out in a pool of blood. (Read the article)

Director: Samir Karnik
Rating: **1/2
Thirty-four years ago a remarkable debutante named Jaya Bhaduri bunked school to get Dharmendra’s autograph in Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s “Guddi”.
In 2007, young Dwij Yadav, who’s a bundle of over-ripe adult expressions packaged in the cutest turban, is also a diehard fan of Dharmendra’s son Bobby Deol.
One can’t help but notice the cool-quotient that Bobby has inherited from the senior Deol. Like Dharmendra, Bobby creates an aura of accessibility. (Read the article)
