Shahrukh Khan in Robot, directed by Shankar of Sivaji
2007-07-31 00:00:00 What will SRK and Shankar do to science fiction? I m no lover of Bollywood movies. Or Tollywood movies, for that matter.

Reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
2007-07-27 00:00:00 The first thing to strike me was - J K Rowling has learnt to write! Frankly, don't care if many of you think this is blasphemy.

2007-07-27 00:00:00 I have been in New Delhi only for around 8 months. But you don't need to be a Delhi resident to know about the Blueline menace.

Plot holes in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
2007-07-27 00:00:00 I finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows a couple of days back. In my view, the book is much more tightly written than the last two books.
