I watched Manorama – Six Feet Under a while back and instantly liked it. Detective stories are rare in Bollywood, which only made films on select trusted genres. There was a dearth of good crime investigation stories. In such a time, Manorama dared to weave a detective-mystery story. Not just that, the setup was laid [...]

There’s this strange behavior of Indian Entertainment Industry that I fail to comprehend. Every time, someone does something new and delivers a hit, instantly 10 others will follow the footsteps hoping to get the same amount of success.

Almost every single movie-crazy-soul on the face of earth is aware and if I may say so, is awaiting the release of this film. But, what makes this film [...]
