Ayudham Seivom makes no impact
Pyramid Saimira’s Tamil film Ayudham Seivom, starring Sundar C works well in the humour department but there’s no impact.
Thoda so-so Thoda ho-hum
Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic is a very predictable kids film borrowing from most children’s films you can think of. The kids are okay, but Rani and Saif are disappointing.
No Magic in Thodi Life
Anand Rai’s Thodi Life Thoda Magic leaves many questions unanswered. It’s a task to understand the vague series of events and the film’s deadening pace makes it worse.
Watch Meravanige for it’s freshness
Meravanige is an engaging romantic thriller. The film proves that director Mahesh Babu has a firm grip over the medium. Prajwal shines, but it is new comer Andrita Ray who looks bubbly and pretty on the screen.

Review: Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic
Erich Fromm once said, “Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties”. We are biased to the Indian cinematic orthodoxies. It must have taken courage for Kunal Kohli to weave the 200-million Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic into an absolutely different, magical creation. The film is very different, expect the prevalent Bollywood masala, but with […]
Grab just a handful of Kismat
Don’t buy this album. Try and get hold of Aai Paapi and Bakhudi Tumhi Ho, and — if willing to deal with a nasal Nigam — Soniye Ve; that stuff is fun, but the rest is remixed pap.
Madonna and Guy call in divorce lawyers
Speculation is rife that Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie are heading for a split soon after it emerged that the couple have sought advice from divorce lawyers.
