Ishqiya was one of the most talked about releases primarily because one, It was coming from Vishal Bhardwaj stable and secondly the promo managed to raise the curiosity level among the viewers. No wonder, movie has managed to prove itself ‘different’. Though, the tag of ‘different’ is an overused one yet debutant director Abhishek Chuaubhey has shown glimpses of his talent in this dark comedy cum thriller genre film. Vishal Bhardwaj has become a master in this style and every time viewers are left gasping for more.

Ishqiya thrives on wonderful performances and apt dialogues. Movie is a bold step towards new age of Hindi film making. Yet, it is strongly recommended that parents should leave the bachcha party at home and rejoice this cinematic experience. Talking about lead actors, Naseruddin Shah, as usual is in peak form whereas Vidya Balan has surprised one and all with her bold scenes. She is pretty different from what we viewers are used to watching her on-screen exploits. Ishqiya is definitely another feather in her cap after giving a stunning performance in ‘Paa’.

Arshad Warsi has matched his co-stars step by step and seems like a perfect match for the role of Babban. Movie revolves around two thieves Khalujaan (Naseeruddin Shah) and Babban (Arshad Warsi) who are on the run from their boss, Mushtaq. During their course of journey they seek refuge at a friend’s house, but instead meet his widow, Krishna (Vidya Balan). Thereafter, movie takes a different turn as duo find themselves mesmerised by Krishna who had some other sinister plans of her own. But eventually, they all have to face the past realities and slowly new secrets start pouring out of cupboard.

Ishqiya is a must watch because of its eastern UP backdrop, fascinating dialogues and of course for ‘Dil toh bachcha hai’. Songs are already chart toppers adding to crisp editing and wonderfully captured background of the movie. Vishal Bhardwaj gives us another winner and this time its desi flavour in western style.

Looking back at this year, bollywood will not be very happy with its performance. Some of the big budget, big names flopped miserably at the box office. At the same time, some movies came out of nowhere and registered good business. Quite unexpectedly, some movies despite having a nice story and wonderful production failed to excite the audiences. Well, you never know what might work at box office. Talking about some of the misses of the year, bollywood had high expectations from Akshay Kumar and Deepika Padukone starrer ‘Chandni Chowk To China’ but movie proved to be a damp squib. Akshay was on a roll after the success of Welcome, Singh is Kingg and others but that did not help the cause either.

It was also Akshay Kumar’s first release of the year and needless to say, Chandni Chowk To China was a disaster at the box office. The story had no innovation and humour was quite cheap. Critics thrashed the movie left, right and centre and over-expectation and under-delivery factor sealed its fate

Yash Raj banners poor run at box office continued this year. Dil Bole Haddipa was an eagerly awaited film starring a fresh pair of Shahid Kapoor and Rani Mukherji who was coming on screen after a long time. Movie is also said to be a copy of Hollywood film ‘She is the man’. Its long since we last saw a clear winner from Yash Raj’s stable.

Ashutosh Gowariker has earned a huge reputation for himself after making some of the best movies in this decade the likes of which include, Lagaan, Swadesh and Jodha-Akbar. Naturally, aam junta and critics alike had pinned high hopes from his latest release ‘What’s Your Raashee?’ but movie bombed at box office. People rejected it out rightly. Viewrs could not handle its length and tiring chemistry of 12 rashees. The absence of crackling chemistry between lead pair of Priyanka Chopra and Harmaan Baweja also didn’t help the cause.

 Ishqiya is first directorial venture of Abhishek Chaubey. It is an interesting mix of two genres of romance and suspense. Produced by Raman Maroo and Vishal Bharadwaj, the later has also composed music for the movie. We need not say anything about Vishal Bhardwaj’s ability as he has proven again and again with movies like Kaminey, Maqbool, Omkara and Makdi. However, it will be interesting to watch this movie as it is his production. Ishqiya also boasts of a talented star cast of veteran Naseeruddin Shah, talented Arshad Warsi and beautiful Vidya Balan in the main lead. Movie will be releasing on December 11, 2009.

 Movie is set up in the backdrop of eastern Uttar Pradesh (Omkara, Déjà vu?). Movie is an interesting mix of suspense, thriller, chase, romance, deceit and betrayal. It is about two thieves Khalujan (Naseeruddin Shah) and Babban (Arshad Warsi) who are on the run. They have issues with their boss Mushtaq (Salman Shahid), who is not hungry for their blood. While escaping they stumble across a widow Krishna (Vidya Balan) who had some other plans for them.

 Babban falls for Krishna whereas Khalujaan is more sensible in his approach. Krishna had her own dubious intentions. But soon reality dawns in and they both realize what has happened. What happens afterwards make for the crux of the story. Movie promises to be interesting because of interesting star cast and Vishal Bhardwaj’s association. Watch it on 11^th December.

After the success of Wake up Sid, Ranbir starrer Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani is one of the most awaited films of this year. This romantic comedy has already impressed the audience with its new stylish promos. Moreover, Ranbir and Katrina make a great pair.

 This movie has a simple storyline. Prem has one motto in life which is to be happy and make everyone around him happy. On the other hand Jennifer/Jenny played by Katrina Kaif longs to love and be loved in returned. Thus both of them seem to lead simple lives with their simple goals. But the twist comes in when these supposedly simple goals turn into disasters for Prem and others. Later, due to a mistaken identity, Prem kidnaps Jenny and tries to pull a fast one over her father. However jenny has indifferent and uncaring parents. And it was love for Jenny that made Prem an evolved person. He begins to work hard to make money.

 Later Prem falls so much in love with Jenny that he does everything to make Jenny happy. Jenny on the other hand was so much in love with the idea of being in love that she was blinded by the reality that her true love was Prem. This movie is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi who is directing a romantic comedy after a long time.

 The music of the movie is given by Pritam and the lyrics are given by Irshad Kamil and Ashish Pandit. The songs of this film have been extremely popular especially Tu Jaane Na sung by Atif Aslam and Tera Hone Laga Hoon by Atif Aslam, Alisha Chinoy. Other songs like Prem Ki Naiyya, Main Tera Dhadkan Teri and Oh my God have also been liked by many.

Blue was one of the most anticipated movies of the year. Movie had promised a lot because of its huge star cast and splendid actions never seen before on the Indian screens. The budget of the movie was said to be extremely extravagant. Blue has been extensively shot in heavenly waters of Bahamas and producers have left no stone unturned in making those underwater sequences memorable. But somewhere movie fails to deliver the final punch. Despite all the hype and tons of expectations, few things about the movie seem quite out of the place.

Dialogues leave a lot to be desired and the final twist was nothing less than a childish gimmick. A movie needs to have some substance to back its style quotient. The movie has definitely opened up on good footfalls but it is a matter of speculation how long it will be able to sustain interest of the people. The movie stars Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Jayed Khan and Lara Dutta. Akshay has got a new goatee for the movie and has definitely the lead role of the movie. Lara looks stunning in bikini and underwater scenes whereas Sanjay Dutt seems to have some issues with weight.

The movie is about treasure hunt buried deep within the ocean. The movie also has a song by Kylie Minogue and it has been quite a hit amongst the people. Songs have been composed by Maestro A R Rehman and needless to say, you are sure to love them. Just check any song and you are bound to love it. The background score and stunts shown in the movie are definitely worth a watch.
