Humraaz (2002)

the most entertaining Indian movie of 2002

[10/10 · 9 July 2003]

Humraaz is an immensely entertaining and classy film that is probably on par with any Hollywood thriller. The best thing about the film is that it keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end! When you think the movie is over an unexpected twist happens to keep the pulse-pounding thrills sky-high. Plus, the movie has that traditional, nostalgic Bollywood style romance that everyone loves. Music by Himesh Reshammiya deserves awards, with the best songs being 'Bardaasht', 'Dil Ne Kar Liya', and 'Sanam Mere Humraaz'. Performances from the cast couldn't be better! This is Amisha Patel's best role to date (including 'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai'), and Bobby Deol and Akshaye Khanna act with zeal and enthusiasm. The only let down of the movie is the cliched ending, but with a film that has appealed to you for a solid three hours, you'll fail to notice.

With all that said, Humraaz is a film for everyone, and the most appealing of 2002. Go rent it, or rather, buy it!

Asoka (2001)

One of the greatest historical and romantic epics from Bollywood ever to hit the Silver Screen...

[10 July 2002]

Asoka, by my standards, now ranks as one of the best flicks of 2001 along with Lagaan and Dil Chahta Hai. This is probably Shahrukh's best performance after the hits Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kareena's best after Refugee. The cinematography, choreography, and screenplay was just phenomenal. I especially enjoyed the songs as they were mana for the ears, and all the scenery in the background was probably the most aesthetically pleasing in any Indian film. Of course, this film is no Braveheart, but some of the glossy fighting and love scenes were reminiscent of it. Anyone who watches this movie will not be disappointed. GO SEE IT!

Mission Kashmir (2000)

(9.5 out of 10) "...a great film dealing with terrorism in Kashmir; a complete family entertainer..."

[9/10 · 21 May 2001]

This musical film is colorful and action filled. "Mission Kashmir" is a film that is sure to entertain and make it to the top of the charts! I have gained alot from this movie, and I especially liked the upbeat songs. It is definitely my cup of tea.
