Kabul Express


8/10


With Arshad Warsi and John Abraham you can expect a bit of fun here and the movie lives up to this expectation. Arshad once again displays his great comic timing, John is OK. The story is OK too, about two Indian journalists going to Kabul to cover the war story, till they find themselves and their local afghan guide in troubled water, kidnapped by a terrorist. What follows is sheer entertainment as an unlikely bond soon develops between them and makes the movie extremely interesting. About 2 hours and no songs except for the one used for promotional purpose which comes right at the beginning, means the movie is very well paced.
Verdict: Well worth a watch.

Dor


Rating 9/10

I delayed seeing this movie as it does not have a great cast, I thought; but the story here is good and leaves an impact on you. Although I had seen it about 5 weeks back, my impression about the movie is still good. It’s a story about an unlikely friendship between two women to whom destiny hasn’t been too kind to. Women oriented sad depressing art film you might think, but this is definitely not in that category. Shreyas Talpade (of Iqbal) lends some good comedy; Ayesha Takia and Gul Panang have acted well. The tag line 'Dor - how far will you go to save your loved ones?' is very apt. Directed by Nagesh kukunoor this is definitely not to be missed.

Verdict: Don’t miss.
