Remaking a classic is always a tricky job and it becomes equally risky when you remake a cult movie made memorable by superstar Amitabh Bachchan. Comparisons are inevitable and it is like a noose around the neck. To begin with and to its credit, Agneepath is not a thorough remake of the cult movie...

After Ra.One’s negative storm, King has to come back and it was bestowed on the hands of Farhan Akhtar to roll the red carpet and blow trumpets.  Yes, SRK blows his own trumpets and the dialogues are tailor made for the Don franchise. But hold on, the Don might  have come back with glory...

Ra-One

In his promotional campaigns SRK mentioned “I’m a superhero with heart” but unfortunately G.One, the super hero character SRK plays does not have an emotional connect. It is plain digital in action with no room for emotions.  It sums up the movie too. Almost all the comic book superheroes characters that have fired our...
