Farz, Aankhen, and the Influence of James Bond on Indian Cinema
Saazish
A pretty fun first fifteen and final thirty minutes bookend a middle ninety of tedium in this Bollywood espionage caper featuring a faux Fantomas.
Geetaa Mera Naam
In addition to being kinky, trashy, sappy, kitschy and pulpy in fine measure, Geetaa Mera Naam is yet another example of “lost and found family” movies.
Rani Mera Naam
An action-packed thriller from KSR Doss, a director dedicated to a complete lack of nuance and subtlety in his over-the-top adventure films
King Kong
Indian strongman Dara Singh takes on dinosaurs, corrupt officials, and a big dude named King Kong in this spectacular Bollywood fantasy.
Jaani Dushman: Ek Anokhi Kahani
An effects-laden remake of a classic Indian horror film results in one of the worst films in Bollywood history.
Dharam-Veer
A Bollywood fantasyadventure that pulls out all the stops, from bands of gypsies to pirate ship battles to Sheroo the Wonder Bird.
Tahalka
A terrible action film that is totally not about China being nefarious toward India. At least Amrish Puri is on hand to laugh and bellow.
Mr. India
A landmark Indian film that pits an everyman superhero with invisibility against one Bollywood's most iconic villains.
