The Dark Knight : by Christopher Nolan

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
........... We're tonight's entertainment : The Joker

Christopher Nolan in association with Warner Bros. has undoubtedly re-defined SUPER-HEROISM with The Dark Knight


Christian Bale plays Bruce Wayne , the multi-millionaire , who turns into the Dark Crusader saving the Gotham City from doom.
The film starts with a bank robbery , an act of deceit plotted by yours truly THE JOKER played by the late Heath Ledger.

The film belongs to the set of actors playing legendary Batman Caricatures in never seen before sequences. To name a few ....

  1. Michael Caine : The Butler
  2. Morgan Freeman : Lucius Fox
  3. Gary Oldman : Lieutenant James Gordon
  4. Late Heath Ledger : The Joker
  5. Aaron Eckhart : Harvey Dent
  6. Christian Bale : Bruce Wayne / Batman
The Joker steals the show in all this masquerade. Ledger has got into the skin of the psychopath as if he has lived this role all his life!!

Jack Nicholson played the Joker in the 1989 flick , but Heath has surpassed all on - screen comic caper villains big time!!!!

“Do I look like a guy with a plan?” the Joker asks ..
Tribute Mr . Ledger!

The Film's Action , is astounding from a Hospital Blow-Up , Truck - BatPod Street Chase to Batman Sling from a Copter!

Special Mention : Performance by Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent is a revelation , and his alter-ego in the second half of the flick is brilliant.

I am a big fan of Nolan Films , film noir at its best ... fantabulous follow-up to Batman Begins..

The Dark Knight is the best comic caper super hero celluloid movie ever witnessed ..

Jaane Tu .. Ya Jaane Na : by Abbas Tyrewala

Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na ... simply a breath of fresh air :) :) ...

Abbas Tyrewala in collaboration with Numero Uno Actor Aamir Khan brings forth a frothy , romantic , bubblegum , Archies meets Veronica storyline !!

The film is all about Meow and Rats! ... the on-screen friends who are inseparable to the hilt.

Imraan Khan has got acting in legacy and he proves it by playing a non-violent , cute-faced,innocent,sweetie pie kid on the block .

Genelia-DeSouza gives super chemical reactions playing Meow! .. clawing people who even give a thought of insulting Rats!

The gang of friends just out of college know that Rats and Meow are in love , their parents know they are in love , but for the protagonists.

Jaane Tu .. may remind you of a lot of bubblegum fables (a la' Ishq Vishq) ... this is quite extra-ordinarily different!!

Heart-Warming Moments in the film :
  • College Brawl where in Imraan intends to save Genelia
  • Imraan's mother(Ratna Shah) , passing the legacy of Rathore's to her son.
  • Ratna Shah and her tet-e-tet with her husband on the wall picture(Raja of Rathore).
  • Post-Interval portions where Rats n Meow go fetch companions for each other.
  • Cameos by Khan brother's and the Disco-Techque histrionics are hilarious.
  • Chemistry between Meow and her brother!
The list is endless , supporting crew is fantabulous , from parents to chums to cops !!

Finally the music , AR Rahman , what can I say , super-duper melodies ... within the realm of the film...

The Next Generation is surely knocking the doors and ringing the bells......
