When his wealthy father dies in a suspicious yachting accident, Jai Puri harnesses his unusual power to see into the past and journeys into an 8 x 10 snapshot taken of his dad, hoping to uncover clues into the circumstances of his death. But as he gathers proof that reveals his father was murdered, Jai risks his own survival with his repeated trips into the past.

• Ayesha Takia 
• Sharmila Tagore 
• Girish Karnad 
• Javed Jaffrey 
• Anant Mahadevan 
• Rushad Rana 
• Benjamin Gilani 
• Pia Shah 

Grade: 

B 

A thriller that will keep one glued to the seat all the way through as it revolves around a man who has the ability to see the past and he uses it to help others, even though it can kill him. 

The cinematography and especially the underwater sequence were breath taking and this will make one want to know what is going to happen next. 

The only negative side to this is that sometimes its quite predictable. 

On the whole, it is a movie that is worth watching. Akshay has done a fantastic job!!!

Rating: PG 13

Dosti: Friends Forever | Movie Review

Synopsis: 

Karan and Raj couldn't be more different. Karan has all the wealth and comfort a person could ask for, while Raj has only himself to call his own. Yet, despite their differences, the two are the best of friends, their bond seemingly unbreakable; until something unbelievable happens that threatens the core of their connection. 

Was it a misdeed? 

A misunderstanding? 

More importantly, will their friendship survive? 

Starring: 

• Akshay Kumar 
• Bobby Deol
• Kareena Kapoor
• Lara Dutta
• Aman Verma 
• Juhi Chawla
• Kiran Kumar
• Lilette Dubey
• Mahesh Thakur
• Karishma Tanna
• Navni Parihar
• Sherlyn Chopra
• Shakti Kapoor

Grade: 

C 

No remake of a Hollywood film. No re-hash of countless other buddy-buddy movies seen in Bollywood. No violence and no scenes that a family watching together would have to squirm at. 

Good songs, nice performances and a good solid Indian/Desi story that is rewatchable. 

Two wonderful twists, great comedy, wonderful drama, an emotional roller-coaster of a film that shows what Indian cinema is good at. 

Rating: PG 13

Good action, but no flow of story. Akshay, the famous Bollywood actor seems to overact in this movie, which is inspirired from his own biography. Deepika doesn't have many dialogues and neither does anyone. Its definetely a family movie for time pass and for comedy lovers.

Aamir Khan To Be Waxed At Madam Tussaud Bollywood World

Well this news is from a source close to Bobby Khan, who handles the Bollywood segment at Tussaud’s London. The source says, “Aamir Khan should be next. He is popular and a Bollywood A lister. Even this time, both Sachin and Aamir Khan’s names were in the reckoning, but then Sachin was chosen. Aamir is definitely next”. That’s not all the news on the Tussaud’s front - there is more.

the museum opens in Delhi, we are also going to organize a poll in the city to find out which other stars among Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif and Hrithik Roshan they would want to see in the museum next. The figures are going to be installed with all the effects - JLo and Angelina Jolie will blush, for instance. And yeah, you could actually hug and feel Brad Pitt’s bottom.

When contacted, Bobby did not confirm this, but did say that from this year on, out of the six new wax figures put up at Tussaud’s every year. Bobby says that One is going to be an Indian personality. A prominent Indian personality - and that need not to be film star, necessarily.

Bollywood Celebs Top Tax Payers

Posting a handsome growth in their advance tax payments, top Bollywood stars seem to have beaten the economic slowdown. The top ten Bollywood earners pay 17.7% more taxes than in the previous year.

Bollywood's highest taxpayer of 2008-09 is Akshay Kumar, who paid a whopping Rs 31 crore to the Income-Tax department. He narrowly pipped Shah Rukh Khan who paid Rs 30.99 crore.
