Ranbir Kapoor with his stellar performance as the flirty youngster in “Bachna Ae Haseeno” has opened his account on a good note in Bollywood. The son of actors Nitu Singh and Rishi Kapoor, Ranbir Kapoor began his film career with the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film “Saawariya”. He was paired with Sonam Kapoor (Anil Kapoor’s daughter) in the film. The film however, proved a real disaster at the box office. This apart however, both the lead actors managed to move on to better and bigger offers.

Ranbir Kapoor - The New Star in Bollywood
Film Review of Point Blank (1967)
Stark’s Parker, Marvin’s Walker and Gibson’s Porter. You would not want to mess with any of them. An influence for Get Carter perhaps? Tense, unrestrained, and capturing the acid-like, New Wave vibe of the 60s with elements of pulp detective stories and the ever present theme of revenge. Point Blank is cinema changing shape, pushing the boundaries. Now I truly know why Mr Blonde from Reservoir Dogs utters the words “I bet you’re a big Lee Marvin fan aren’t you?” Neo-noir tough guy cool personified.
Movie Review - Hancock
All ye DC Comics and Marvel aficionados need to reorient your conception of superheroes. In the constantly meandering labyrinths of social transactions where the nature of man is redefined everyday our good old superhero hasn’t remained unaffected. Gone is the emotionless face wearing which he would clinically execute the fall of his super foes. Now they feel the love, get affected by loss & rejection and also get drunk & roundly abused. Are these the super guys we have grown up with? I am not complaining but merely marveling at the imaginative twist that the movie makers have come up with.
