There is no other word to describe Holmes - Watson Duo other than BRILLIANT!!! Jeremy Brett---The best Holmes ever! Just Scintillating as the greatest, most loved and congenial detective of all time. David Burke---Great Watson! Brilliant acting , brilliant picturisation. I just love watching the Sherlock Holmes series The Way Brett plays Holmes is amazing! That spark in his eyes, that sheer Drama in his presentation! He plays Holmes to the T! His way of delivering those Sherlockian Punch lines is just out of the world! Burke ably supports Brett as the beloved Sidekick Watson. Entertaining and gripping to the Core. No one matches the Great Holmes Watson Duo!

Excellent Movie!

John is fine...Kuoz to the hero!

But Hans Grubber--Just too good!!! Amazing to say the lest! Alan Rickman is just Terrific AS Gruber... A sociopath and unconventional villain..his suave and stylish poise makes me swoon!!! and this one:

Takagi: I'm telling you, you're just going to have to kill me. Hans Gruber: Okay. (Crshes a bullet thru his skull) Hans: We do it the hard way.

I was...WICKEDDD!!!!

and when John says "what do u think I am, a f****g stupid?" n Hans' comrades cum with "Machine Guns..HO HO HO!" and Hans says" U were saying?!"

i WAS like completely enchanted..He is the true Hero!!! I love Alan Rickman completely! too good!

well, when I read Paolini's Eragon, I was absolutely stumped by his genius...the way he enthralls you with the magnificence of his plot, writing and characters. Pure Magic

Sadly, the same cannot be said for The Movie Eragon. those who have read the book will be tad disappointed as it doesn't do justice to the book at all. those who haven't read the book aren't gonna make head and tale out of it. In the book , it was all done maginificently and engrossingly. he movie is an hour n half long but I dunno what the hurry was about?! The plot was changed and Brom ended up killing a Raza'c which doesn't happen in book 1, n Arya is too tall doesn't look like n elf, Murtagh is there for just two scenes or so, None of Eragon's adventures with Brom in the many cities they go are shown, at the end Eragon heals Saphira(That was the ultimate doom man!!!!)

The acting is good thank god but major credit goes to Jeremy Irpns who does a fine job as Brom. I have indeed imagined a much older man---Kind of a Dumbledore like man...But still Irons did a great job as Brom and its thanks to him I sat through the movie. His acting is remarkable.

Nishabd is a masterpiece in its own way. Due to its unconventional theme was slammed by the audience but as a film, it stands on strong ground. Mature, sensitive and sensible. A love story shown realistically with all restrictions thrown right at your face. Only a mature film-goer will accept this film. Splendid cinematography-The close-ups are magnificent. The way the camera captures each and every expression of the lead actors needs to be given standing ovations.Same goes for the Background score-brilliant. One of the best I have heard in many years. Performances-Newcomers Jia and Shraddha deliver superb performances and so does Revathy. Amitabh-what can I say about this man? I am out of words because whatever I say will not be sufficient to describe this one. Is this a performance?? I felt he was living he character. I haven't seen him perform so realistically before. He has always been realistic but Nishabd I feel saw the best in him.the darker parts of his personality. Is there anything he cant do? This has to be Big b's finest performance to date-AB fans don't miss this!

I AM LITERALLY NISHABD(Nuff said)

Verma's take on fluctuations of human mind and unspoken relationships should not be missed.

Best film this year. Indian Cinema at its best.If its said a "lost film by David Lean"-It deserves it. Vidhu Vinod Chopra-Two Thumbs up-This man is our hope.

No words to describe this film. A modern day masterpiece. Vidhu Vinod Chopra's best. Breathtaking performances from Big B, Saif, Boman, Jackie, Sanjay, Vidya etc. Superb music and score and wonderful cinematography and locales not to forget the awe inspiring visual effects. In the years to come will be remembered as a CLASSIC. This is a poem on celluloid. Shakespeare nestling in the sands of Rajathan. This piece of work would have made Shakespeare smile broadly

A must watch for Cinema Lovers. EKlavya-a Royal TREAT!

A hilarious and superb entertainer. AMitabh-Shashi-Best combo duo ever...just a stunning duo!!! no can beat them once they come together on screen!!! Amitabh-Parveen-Whatta couple!!! excellent... A must watch for all Amitabh and Shashi fans. The song Tune Abhi Dekha nahiin... is outstanding!!! The comedy is excellent. Especially the scene when Amitabh is made to eat parottas by all the children and his stomach nearly s. His expression in the scene was just outstanding. And the scene when Parveen faints in Amitabh's room and Shshi blocks his way out of the house. It was hilarious!!! and when Amitabh says "Sangeet Samrat" and starts singing and making a fool of Shashi is the bornfire. just rib-cracking

Baabul is a excellent movie. Peoeple are being biased and comparing it with Baghban Agreed Baghbanwas a great film but that is a league apart. Baabul is one of the best movies of the year. One of the finest performances of Amitabh Bachchan. He makes u cry many a time and for everyone who like to see with "Less style and more substance" unlike most movies of today, so see Baabul. Amitabh and Rani have done it again after Black. Big B and Hema look stunning together and they have created the Baghban effect (though Hema is relagated to the end of the frame almost all the time. Big B carries the film on his shoulders effortlessly. Very good film-Recommended.

First of all..I begin by saying that I AM A HUGE FAN OG "THE GODFATHER"-Novel. But Sarkar is not a complete adaptation of Gofather. Only the basic undercurrent of a mafia Don has been taken from it. I feel Sarkar is a great film. RGV proves himself a wonderful director who is truly different from most of the contemporary directors of today who make films for mass appeal. For a film like 'Sarkar' to get mass success, it should be surprising. But go see the film and you will know why! IT is truly the best film of 2005 with 'Black'.

The sets are wonderful...Dark and intense...and so is the look given to all characters. They were all very apt to the theme. The background score especially 'Govinda' one is truly intense and helps make you spellbound to this film. The editing is cool and thumbs to everyone behind this genius of a film.

The most important thing here is the standout performances! Abhishek Bachchan handles his role very well and we see the rising superstar of tomorrow here. Great job by AB junior. Same goes for Kay Kay...he was superb as the bad son Vishnu. I don't actually agree where some people say he stole away the show...Because...it truly belonged to the Bachchans alone!!! The new meanie in town Rashid rocks!!! Truly what a performance man!!! Standing ovations to him...

But if you are pitched against the actor-Amitabh Bachchan in any film, then he is sure to be too bhaari on you. He just excels like anything in this role. This is surely one of his finest performances and goes on par with that of Black. He truly beats Marlon Brando in the role. He makes you go spellbound with those piercing and intense eyes and stands tall and strong as the best actor ever born in Indian Cinema. He excels as Gofather/Subhash Nagre and you get to feel the pulse of his power!!! Had Black not released the same year, Bachchan needn't have worried...Because he would get all the awards and accolades for this performance in Sarkar. He proves himself the 'SARKAR' of bollywood...still going strong in an unbeaten 64!!! He is the ultimate actor without doubt.

TWO THUMBS UP TO THE BACHCHAN, ALL THE OTHER ACTOR AND RGV for such a great film!!!

OK...firstly, I don't know how many people will read this...{I hope some do take the pain to go through my dragging review!!}

Now...I don't understand what message Karan Johar{KJ} was intending to show with this film?! Did he want to show that he has matured as a director by trying to tackle such a topic?! Or did he just want to give his favorite SRK as many scenes as possible?!

You are more or less familiar with the story for KANK has been the most anticipated and discussed movie of 2006, thanks to its unprecedentedly huge star cast. So, I am not going into the story here, I have more important things to say!!!

If someone calls KANK a "flawless movie", I would suggest them a good doc. I would call it a "worthless movie". The flaws:

1:Why did Maya{Rani Mukherjee} not like Rishi {Abhi Bachchan}?? 2:Why does Maya listen to Dev's{SRK} advices and does what he says and not those of her own husband who is so loving?! 3:What wrong did Rhea{Preity Z} do that makes Dev hate her?! 4:Why exactly do Maya and Dev remember each other after so many years??? {oh...were they by chance so attractive???! I don't think so....Sagging face of the so called "King Khan" and not up to the mark face of MAya?!} 5:Why so less footage for an actor like Amitabh Bachchan??{More about this later}...And why was Kamaljit{Kiron Kher} there in the film!!?? great talent gone wasted!

Now into the direction: I CAN SUM THAT UP IN JUST ONE WORD AND THAT IS "BAD"...The script has no justification, no innocence and isn't worth even one ovation. KJ needs to take classes from Yash Chopra whom I really admire for oozing such reality and simplicity and innocence into the film "Silsila" which dealt with more or less the same theme(But Silsila had the advantage of such talented actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan,Rekha and Sanjeev Kumar).

Last but far from least, the performances:Lets start from the worst: SRK:He is his usual self...he bores you to death. This is one of his worst performances...man...he doesn't know to act!!! He truly needs to take classes for acting. He is the typical SRK-His expressions in the film-I have seen it in most of his other films...worst actor ever!

Rani:Her performance isn't up to the mark and she has nothing but to cry and be rude to poor Rishi. After a film like 'Black', this is not one would expect from her.

Preity: She didn't have much footage in the story in comparison to the other actors...but she does well in her role.

Kiron Kher: Pure talent truly wasted. Kiron Kher has scenes which can be counted in you fingers. But she and Sam give you good enjoyment though short-lived.

Abhishek: He surprises you. He proves he is a Bachchan-Baduri combination. He completely overshadows the lead actor SRK and makes you feel sympathetic for him...and he looks so cute!!! Thumbs up to him!!!

Amitabh: If you think this man cant surprise at this age of 64, then you are completely wrong!!!The man who truly steals away the show is definitely Amitabh. He proves that he isn't India's {In fact the World's} best actor for nothing. He oozes such comedy into his role and if not for his undiluted Charizma, Sexy Sam would have seems too vulgar. He gives you a comic relief from the dragging drama and whenever he comes on screen, you really feel a sort of excitement and affection for Sam. His vulgar dialogs make you go pale with embarrassment but bring the house down with laughter!!! Only he could have done the role so well...AND only he would have accepted such a role...MAN...HE IS TRULY AN ACTOR+A SUPERSTAR!!! In fact, For me Sam's character was the most positive and original one for he never hides anything from anyone. He whores but in front of his son...Now many may not find that so cool...but I for one did...And his emotional scenes make you relate with the character and shows he is as human as anyone...He excels in both the humorous and sentimental parts of his roles...He makes you cry when he dies and that 4 minute speech after rocking in 'Rock N Roll Soniye' was very effective. The WHO most memorable dialogs of the movie are the above mentioned one and the one between Sam and Maya in the hospital.And to sum it all up AMITABH PROVES THAT HE IS SEXY POS SIXTY!!! He looks and acts too well!!! He is truly the emperor of our Industry!!!

So in fact, you see I wrote the biggest review for the male lead with the smallest footage....because he steals the show...and he ably saves the game....If not for him, you would have cried that you wasted you money and time...So if there is anyone worth in the movie...they are the Bachchans!!! Two thumbs up to both of them!!!

Abhimaan is truly a masterpiece of Hrishikesh Mukherjee after Anand. Great direction, Great music{one of the most beautiful i have heard}, Great editing and script, Great story, and obviously Great acting make such a fabulous film like Abhimaan!!!

Amitabh Bachchan has truly done a fabulous job as Subeer Kumar. He shows the different humane shades with such ease!!! Jaya Bachchan too delivers a splendid performance!!! But Amitabh steals the show with his superb performance and completely great looks which bowl you over!!!

Kudos to both of them and Hrhikesh Mukherjee for making such a fabulous and evergreen film!!! Abhimaan is one of my favorite films!!! It truly shows Music can do wonders...and such a lovely music too!!! SD Burman has done a fabulous job.
