E! Talk...: May 2008
http://e-abinavk.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 10, 2008. Overall, the movie is worth a dekho. On a weekend night with plenty of kids around so you feel good sitting amidst sounds of laughter riots, at least in the first half. Posted by Abinav Kumar. Friday, May 09, 2008. For those who don't have the time or inclination to read the review. the movie is good. If you haven't watched A Few Good Men (AFGM); do not miss this one. For the rest. Overall, a very good remake of an excellent movie. Go catch it. Posted by Abinav Kumar.

E! Talk...: May 2007
http://e-abinavk.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 12, 2007. Life in a . Metro. Movie: Life in a . Metro. Cast: Pretty long. read on! Rishtey, toh nahi. Rishton ki . parchaiyan miley! Yeh kaisi bheed hai. Bas yahaan . tanhaiyan miley! Pretty much setting the tone for the movie, Anurag goes a step forward from Gangster and delves into the daily 'affair' of the Metro-kars or should I daresay, Mumbaikars! Performance wise, movie strikes gold, again! The ladies compartment, delightfully is not left behind. With each character being given en...

E! Talk...: The Happening
http://e-abinavk.blogspot.com/2008/06/happening.html
Wednesday, June 18, 2008. So, in Central Park people come to a stand still all of a sudden. A lady removes a long sharp object, that is used to hold her hair intact, and pokes herself dead through her throat (the gore, admirably not shown! So, one (read, Me) is not at fault if one thinks the movie has a lot to reveal, especially if the movie opens with a sequence like the one mentioned above! And the scene after this was the best of the movie. And this is exactly when I would request, and in keeping with...

E! Talk...: November 2008
http://e-abinavk.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 03, 2008. Waiting for the Mahatma. Here, the canvas he has chosen is much wider. The characters he tries to sketch are itching to take a form much larger than routine. The circumstances are such. The backdrop is political. And he tries to set a love story in it. There are quite a few tracks which RKN tries to weave in this story. 1 The protagonists characterization - his coming of age, love for the woman and his inner emotional and moral tribunals.

Just Talk...: Of Films: Black Friday
http://abinavk.blogspot.com/2010/07/of-films-black-friday.html
Friday, July 02, 2010. Of Films: Black Friday. This, and this precisely, is what made the movie work for me. The effortless change of narrative perspectives. And, the effectiveness of this change on the viewer given the grittiness of the characters is jaw-dropping. Be it the fascinatingly choreographed chase scene where you become the hunted or the way you relate to Kay Kay in all those scenes when he is fighting within himself. Agree with your review here! Neha - dont rationalize your likings. شركة تنظي...

E! Talk...: Sarkar Raj
http://e-abinavk.blogspot.com/2008/06/sarkar-raj.html
Sunday, June 08, 2008. So, the movie begins with a typical Sarkar like execution sequence where Chote Sarkar (Abhishek) has taken over the mantle and Sarkar is celebrating his birthday! But no such luck here for Mumbaikars, who after having created much applause and jingoist cheer receive much to their disappointment only the wave of a hand from the Big B! Oh btw, good work sound department! And all this while, the only part you would enjoy is the engaging camerawork. The songs, huh! Clearly shows. I...

Tuesday, July 31, 2007. I just did an absolutely redundant job of re-instating (as if he was ever de-instated, if there is a word like that!

Just Talk...: Human Aliens
http://abinavk.blogspot.com/2010/06/human-aliens.html
Friday, June 04, 2010. What if we are the aliens on this planet? No, seriously. The most popularly believed theory of human evolution is that a bunch of apes migrated from Africa across the world and then evolved. Now, I say alien invasion could have been equally possible. Circa [whatever the year was about 5 Mn years ago]. M1: Yo Bro, let's go. M1: Did you hear about the blue thing last night? M2: Say, what? M1: The Blue Thing dude. Looked cool. You got to see that? M2: Where is it anyway? E: Damn this ...
