Prince of Persia (and Mehdipatnam)

Yesterday was fun. I watched a movie after work and then went and got some serious Hyderabadi food at Mehdipatnam. We watched Prince of Persia – Sands of Time and then headed over to the famous Prince Hotel in Mehdipatnam for dinner. Being a firm believer in chronology, I’ll get into the movie review first [...]

Gerard Butler Wallpaper up for grabs

300 came and went and I completely forgot about this idea that had hit me at the time. Watched Gerard Butler in a shitty movie called Law Abiding Citizen last week, and the idea re-surfaced, much like a GI Joe I dropped down the toilet once and rediscovered in a gutter down the road. A [...]

Hancock re-visited

I was flipping channels last week and found Hancock showing on HBO. I hadn’t liked the movie much when it had come out last year but I sat and watched the whole thing again nonetheless. Surprisingly, I found it a lot better this time around. Charlize Theron looked a little off colour, but on the [...]

2012 – The review. WTF? OMG! Halp!

I watched this movie last week at Big Cinemas in Ameerpet (the old GoldSpot factory if you’re wondering). I was prepared for a bit of melodrama and a sappy ending and this movie totally delivered. I found it funny in so many places, people actually started making grunts of disapproval whenever I found something chuckleworthy. The movie starts off [...]

JAIL – the review.. and dinner at a place called Basra

Went for this movie called Jail on Saturday night. I liked it, but really think Madhur Bhandarkar could have done a better job of casting.

36 BBQ at Secunderabad – Eminently forgettable

Secunderabad is finally getting some new eateries. The group that runs 36 (Jubilee Hills) has acquired what used to be the LSG SkyChefs building near Paradise and set up two new restaurants – 36 BBQ and Baghara. Vinay, Varun and I went over on Sunday to sample their fare. We opted for the BBQ lunch [...]

3 movie reviews + what I thought of UFC 100

NEW YORK New york is a good movie. Its pretty much a watered down remake of Khuda ke liye, but with better looking people and a few songs. The movie has been shot very well and the actors have delivered some pretty decent performances. Katrina Kaif looked fantastic and her heavily accented Hindi was just [...]
