(all reviews by Muffy St. Bernard unless we tell you otherwise!)

It's "Christine" with hugs, or "Herbie The Love Bug" with anger-management problems.

No, it's not an obscure Japanese form of suicide or the name of a Greek lesbian...it's the story of two men who could never dream of hating each other...but had better get used to the idea!

15/09/04 Ramba, Radha, Rani

The cover of the DVD promises "rib-ticking comedy." When you've got Vivek making fun of a fat woman in your movie, how can it NOT be rib-ticking?

PAST REVIEWS:

05/09/01 Aan Milo Sajna

A spunky girl charms her way into Rajesh Khanna's heart by acting exactly like his brain-damaged nephew. Also, Bollywood gets a jump on Hollywood with the "bull sodomizes man" comedy routine!

19/07/01 Aashiq

Some films should never have been unleashed on the public. If you know somebody who raves about this film, keep your dog and female relatives away from him.

11/10/01 Agar Tum Na Hote

The funny moments are few and far between when a widower falls in love...with a married woman who looks exactly like his dead wife. As you'd expect, everybody suffers.

30/03/03 Bollywood/Hollywood

Argh, who's that messing with Bollywood? Who's trying to make a cross-over hit? Who can't just leave things well enough alone? And why is Muffy such an intolerant, elitist hog?

12/10/01 Devi Maa

Porridge and margosa leaves! The world of goddess worship is exposed before your dazed eyes as Devi Maa battles one of Doug Henning's disciples.

02/08/04 Half of Dil Chahta Hai (a speculative review)

Three University graduates learn that it's a bad idea to get involved with alcoholics. Muffy learns that it's a bad idea to get involved with defective DVDs.

12/08/01 Dil Se

Haven't we learned our lesson yet? Never love a terrorist!

29/07/04 Disco Dancer

Many kitschy Bollywood mountain climbers consider "Disco Dancer" to be Mount Everest. Why? Let's figure it out, shall we?

29/05/03 Jung

One of India's Amazing Fighting Lawyers sets out to rescue Ram and Sita using the only weapons he has: deadly, head-beating fists of legal doom!

27/03/03 Love In Tokyo (screen captures by BOLLYMIKE!)

Absolutely the best film with "Tokyo" and "Love" in the title but has nothing to do with either.

25/09/01 Mard

Music, mayhem, masochism, and Melton! Yes, it's Mard, the first historical drama to be set in a totally nonspecific and contradictory period of history.

22/08/04 Meera

The story of a princess who became a pain in the butt!

14/02/02 Mr. Bechara

Screwball comedy and crushing melodrama: that's what happens when Sridevi washes up on a beach with amnesia. Add Anupam Kher as her doctor and Anil Kapoor as her reluctant "husband" and things get weird.

21/03/03 Mr. India (screen captures by BOLLYMIKE!)

It's not just a film about an invisible good guy against an ugly bad guy, it's an institution. The kind where they lock you up forever.

29/07/01 Mujhe Meri Biwi Se Bachaao

Bollywood takes on a classic 80's film, stuffs Rekha's clothes with padding, and waits for the excitement to start. Does it?

9/08/01 Muqaddar Ka Sikandar

When people try to escape their fate, anguish doesn't just reign...it pours! Complete with a "Gallery of Despair," for those in need of a downer.

19/07/01 Naag Shakti

South Indian filmmakers come up with a mind-bending epic about snakes, aimed at the snake-worshipping market. Thank you, South Indian filmmakers!

26/02/02 Namak Halal (screen captures by BOLLYMIKE!)

It doesn't get much weirder than this messed-up Amitabh comedy/action film, and that's probably a good thing.

15/08/01 Nigahen

Who will capture the magic jewel? Who will marry Sridevi? Who will win the "Best Male Wig Competition?"

13/02/02 Raat

Ram Gopal creates a movie culling moments from some of the creepiest horror films of all time. He even adds some original moments of his own. But the important question turns out to be: is it any good?

31/07/01 Sawan Bhadon

Hindi-a-go-go in the fantasy land of delusional filmmakers! A wicked step-mom, a heinous flesh-peddler, a hairy mole, and two identical thermoses...all that's missing in this one are the munchkins.

08/08/01 Shaan

Ramesh Sippy sees some James Bond films and wonders, "what would happen if the villain had a big crocodile in his den?"

20/02/02 Teesri Manzil (screen captures by BOLLYMIKE!)

A movie that does justice to the entire genre of wacky 60's go-go films from India! This murder-mystery-comedy virtually splashes off your screen with exuberant happiness.
