Chak De! India (Go for it India!)
"The King Khan is back on the big screen and this time he has sixteen women under his wings"

Cheni Kum
"Age disparity in relationships has been the theme of many Hollywood movies but this is the first major Bollywood film to address the subject"

Gandhi My Father
"Moving without being manipulative, amd largely devoid of the bolly-clichés so typical of the formula. A worthy companion piece to Attenborough’s Oscar classic"

Guru
"Ratnam’s film is a warm, intimate and moving portrait of a perhaps flawed visionary who may have been both a genius and a thug"

Om Shanti Om
"Shah Rukh Khan is back, and this time we get two of him, and generous gratuitous shots of his new six pack"

Eklavya – The Royal Guard
"Set in present day Rajasthan, India, this stunningly beautiful film is a worthy attempt at commercial Bollywood cinema"

Laaga Chunari Mein Daag: Journey of a Woman
"This take on the 'prostitute with a heart of gold' chick flick will probably shock traditional audiences. Although the plot-line is a Bollywood staple the protagonist actually sleeps with her clients"

Life in a Metro
"Shilpa Shetty's first release, after her Celebrity Big Brother win, examines the complexities of relationships in India’s zany metropolis, Mumbai"

Phir Milenge (We Will Meet Again)
"A worthy attempt by the Mumbai industry to address a still taboo topic in the widest commercial context with three major stars"

Provoked
"Aishwarya Rai finally delivers a performance which is not only moving but worthy of the fiery material"
