Bombay Talkies Movie Review by Rajeev Masand
Rating:
May 03, 2013
Cast: Rani Mukherjee, Randeep Hooda, Saqib Saleem, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Naman Jain, Ranvir Shorey, Vineet Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan
Dirs: Karan Johar, Dibakar Banerjee, Zoya Akhtar & Anurag Kashyap
Two men shift nervously, seldom making eye contact, as they listen to a beggar girl at a railway station footbridge singing an old Lata Mangeshkar gem whose words seem to have particular significance in their unlikely situation. A father, determined to enthrall his bored daughter, narrates a story in mime, his energy palpable, his excitement contagious. A little boy, attired in his sister’s dress and his mother’s make-up and heels, shakes his hips to the beats of a popular dance number, blissfully naïve to the likely reaction of his family. And a young out-of-towner is reduced to tears as he pleads earnestly to the security guards manning the gates of a superstar’s home for one meeting with the legend. It’s these images that linger in your mind long after you’ve watched Bombay Talkies, a charming omnibus of four short films that celebrate the centenary year of Indian cinema.
The stories, each roughly thirty minutes in duration, have no common link, except for a shared love and celebration of the movies.

Bombay Talkies Movie Review by Taran Adarsh
It’s a fact… Cinema and cricket are pursued with religious fervor in India. Cinema connects us. Cinema unites us. Cinema is indeed the predominant influence on our lives. Cinema is, without doubt, an integral part of every movie lover… Indian cinema, which completes its 100th year this year [RAJA HARISHCHANDRA, the first full-length feature-film made by Dadasaheb Phalke, was released in 1913], ought to be commemorated. What better way than four avant garde film-makers combining forces to pay respect to cinema — Karan Johar, Zoya Akhtar, Dibakar Banerjee and Anurag Kashyap. Backed by Viacom18, the four prolific film-makers set out to narrate stories that are unconventional, borrowed from real life, about the common man. Also, each of those stories has a reference to Indian cinema/stars.
The four stories in BOMBAY TALKIES — made at a stipulated budget of Rs 1.5 cr each, the duration not exceeding 20/25 minutes — are entwined in one film. Of course, experiments like this, when one or multiple raconteurs join hands to narrate distinctive stories, aren’t new. Recall DARNA MANA HAI [2003; Prawaal Raman narrated a series of six stories in one film], DARNA ZAROORI HAI [2006; seven directors narrating seven different stories], SALAAM-E-ISHQ [2007; six love stories helmed by Nikhil Advani] and DUS KAHANIYAAN [2007; ten stories narrated by six directors]…
A film like BOMBAY TALKIES gives an opportunity to film-makers to step out of their comfort zone and try to create something novel.

Aatma Movie Review – Roma Heer & Gautam Batra
Gautam Batra: Aatma(A) i.e. latest supernatural horror movie to hit the cinemas star Bipasha Basu, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, & Doyel Dhawan as main characters and is written & directed by Suparn Verma, who promises to take horror genre to new level with this movie. Aatma is produced under the banner of Wide Frame Pictures and carries decent expectations. So lets discuss with Roma Heer,whether Aatma is a must watch for you this weekend or not.
Roma Heer: Aatma hardly takes horror to next level instead its a big letdown & disappointment for those who love to watch movies falling in this genre.
Gautam Batra: O My Gaawd! that was seriously not expected after hearing big statements from Director saahab about movie!
Roma Heer: Seriously! i remember Mr. Suparn said that he is proud of his movie as a director as well as an audience. He also said that he has completed scripted in long time of 9 years & it will take horror to new level. Sadly, Aatma evokes laughter many times at its so called scary & chilling scenes.
Gautam Batra:So what is the plot of Aatma & how was the Screenplay?
Roma Heer: Aatma is a story about Abhay(Nawazuddin Siddiqui) & Maya (Bipasha Basu) who have a cute daughter Nia(Doyel Dhawan).

Aatma Movie Review by Rajeev Masand
Rating:
Cast: Bipasha Basu, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Doyel Dhawan, Shernaz Patel, Tilottama Shome, Jaideep Ahlawat, Shiv Subramaniam, Darshan Jariwala
Director: Suparn Verma
95 minutes have seldom felt so long, as they do while watching Aatma. This curious but ultimately predictable supernatural thriller fails to escape genre conventions, falling into the same trap that so many of its predecessors have.
Bipasha Basu is a single mother struggling to protect her daughter (Doyel Dhawan) from the otherworldly grasp of her dead ex-husband (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), who wants to take the little girl away with him. It’s an intriguing premise, ripe with emotional potential, but writer-director Suparn Verma sticks to tried-and-tested gimmicks, never offering an original suspenseful experience.
Low on scares and unfolding at a snail-like pace, Aatma recycles familiar horror-movie imagery to little impact. In one relatively chilling scene that’s unfortunately given away in the trailer, a terrified Bipasha is confronted with the sight of her daughter walking the balcony ledge, as Nawazuddin’s spirit beckons her to jump.
Moments like these are few and far between in this lazy film that doesn’t even create the required atmospherics for a moody thriller. The resolution is underwhelming, a handful of fine supporting actors (Jaideep Ahlawat, Shernaz Patel, Tillotama Shome, Shiv Subramaniam, Darshan Jariwala) are wasted, and in the end you’re struck by the sheer futility of the enterprise.

Aatma Movie Review by Taran Adarsh
The horror genre is getting increasingly popular with the top ranks in Bollywood. From A-list actors to reputed production houses, the output of horror movies has, all of a sudden, shown an upward trend in recent years. Besides, horror in Hindi films is no longer limited to ghosts or skeletons. It’s about projecting the emotion called fear most valiantly.
With the 3D technology making a big splash across the globe, the trend of making horror films in 3D has already caught on in Bollywood. Vikram Bhatt’s HAUNTED, DANGEROUS ISHHQ and RAAZ 3 and Ramgopal Varma’s BHOOT RETURNS narrated spooky tales in 3D. While I am not against this technology, I am glad Suparn Verma decided against making AATMA in 3D because this one’s a psychological thriller — more of a human drama — and the 3D glasses would’ve only acted as a blockade.
First things first, AATMA is *not* the quintessential horror film. It’s not about a haunted house or a tormented spirit thirsting for vengeance. It has layers. It has supernatural elements. It tackles an abusive relationship. It’s about a strong emotional bonding between a mother and child. Primarily, it’s the fight between a woman and her dead husband over their child.
