6. Chennai Express-arrives at the right ‘platform’! Movie Review
With the tremendous amount of pre-launch publicity that most big budget films resort to nowadays, there was an excessive level of expectation about this movie. It did not claim to be anything other than a pure entertainer, and perhaps lives to that claim faithfully. In the process Shah rukh Khan has probably showcased his discovery – Deepika once again, but now in her more mature format after graduating through so many successful films with increasingly positive reviews on her acting.
South India has also been showcased in the film as it has never been done before in any mainstream Hindi movie. The plot is simplistic with no claims on any interwoven psycho...

Well, so the heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor is back in the ultimate role of a Casanova romancing three heroines on screen. The plot of the film is an amalgamation of previous YRF films while proficiently incorporating a complete sequence from the previous hit ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge’ which is twisted in a modern fashion.

He is a girl magnet and in the course of eventually finding his soul mate; he breaks many hearts.

10. Race - 2-too many contenders and quite a few dropouts!Movie Review
Bollywood action thrillers have made a stunning leap in production values since the mid-2000s, almost mirroring Hollywood techniques, emulating and almost surpassing them at times. To this end, “Race” was a trendsetter and the director duo of Abbas Mastan have hoped to replicate the success formula in this extravagant action-loaded thriller.
It is admittedly pleasing to the eyes but does not have the same effect on the mind, due to its oft-repeated theme and styling. The plot for the film has been liberally grafted from the British crime adventure “The Italian Job”, but the backdrop for all the action in “Race 2” is not Italy but Turke...
