Jodhaa Akbar - A Love story
The timing of Ashutosh Gowariker’s Magnum Opus could not have been better. A love story set in the 16th century between the Mughal Emperor who ruled Hindustan (now India), Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar, and a fiery young Rajput princess, Jodhaa. With love as the backdrop, and highlighting the Hindu-Muslim marriage of alliance culminating in love and respect for one another, a day after Valentine’s Day was an apt moment for its release.- by glamsham.com02/15/2008
Jodhaa Akbar -A true Love between a great Mughal emperor and a Rajput princess

Set in the sixteenth century, Jodhaa Akbar is a love story about a marriage of alliance that gave birth to true love between a great Mughal emperor, Akbar, and a Rajput princess, Jodhaa.

Jodhaa Akbar - Ashutosh strikes gold
After several reshuffling of dates and over 2 years in the making , UTV and Ashutosh Gowarikar bring to you Jodhaa-Akbar a complete epic in itself. Any comparisons with Mughal-E-Azam or Ashutosh’s previous piece of work should be strictly avoided.
Besides a good star cast and soulful music, Jodhaa-Akbar has much more to offer. Set in the sixteenth century, JODHAA AKBAR is a love story about a marriage of alliance that gave birth to true love between a great Mughal emperor, Akbar, and a Rajput princess, Jodhaa. Little did Akbar [Hrithik Roshan] know that when he married Jodhaa [Aishwarya Rai Bachchan], he would be embarking upon a new journey -- the journey of true love. - by indiaglitz.com02/15/2008
Jodhaa Akbar - 16th century love story movie
It requires courage, prowess, patience, aptitude, knowledge, passion and of course, loads of currency to attempt a movie like JODHAA AKBAR. But more than anything else, it requires your firm belief in the subject, the belief to attempt a historical.Ashutosh Gowariker knows that historicals have to be simplified while narrating on celluloid so that the moviegoer is able to grasp and comprehend the plotline and the sequence of events.

Super Star -Action, plenty of emotion
SUPER STAR is your average Bollywood movie; a moderate dose of action, plenty of emotion and dollops of drama. Nothing new in the storyline, too. And yes, it’s also almost three hours long!! At a time where every producer and director is wrapping things up within two hours, this certainly won’t work. So you have a struggling actor played by Kunal Khemu (Kunal Mehra), who makes the rounds of production houses and studios in the hope of getting a big role.- by glamsham.com02/08/2008
Super star -Kunal the REAL Superstar!!
It's not often that you come away from a film thinking, "Oh hell, this one is far better than I thought!" Original, vibrant, tongue-in-cheek and yet moving in its sincerity, "Superstar" acquires its power and energy purely from its maker's ability to infuse potentially hammy situations with a bristling believability.
You've seen films about doppelganger-transference where look-alikes cross the line into each other's realm of vision to exchange lives.

Superstar - A Star is born!
With a lot of films being made these days that are based on the film industry, here comes yet another venture that revolves around the same. Superstar marks the return of Rohit Jugraj whose previous film ‘James’ was such a wash out.
Superstar takes off with Kunal (Kunal Khemu), a young lad who over the years has nurtured the dream of making it big in bollywood.- by indiaglitz.com02/08/2008.

Mithya -Complicated film
MITHYA is a very complicated film dealt with in an uncomplicated manner by director Rajat Kapoor. The director handles the complexities of the film and the central character with aplomb to first set your creative juices flowing as a viewer. Then, long after the credits have rolled, you begin to unravel the mystery of the plot. There is finesse in direction and maturity in handling of the story.- by glamsham.com02/08/2008
Mithya -A Comic thriller movie
After directing films like Mixed Doubles and Raghu Romeo, Rajat Kapoor is back with yet another film with a niche subject titled 'Mithya'. Rajat Kapoor directs his most ambitious project yet, a comic thriller that will amuse as well as thrill you. Mithya stars Rajat's co-stars of the low budget box-office hit film 'Bheja Fry', Ranvir Shorey and Vinay Patak along with Neha Dhupia and Naseeruddin Shah in pivotal roles.

Mithya - A great start but poor finish
Here comes the release of a film that has been in the festival circuit for a while. Rajat Kapoor takes up the directorial reigns after films such as Raghu Romeo and Mixed Doubles. So, what’s in store for us from a filmmaker who loves exploring the ‘niche’ with ‘niche’ subjects?
With already a film such as ‘superstar’ carrying the double-role element with a mix of action, drama and songs releasing simultaneously; Rajat Kapoor’s Mithya is definitely for the multiplex audience. - by indiaglitz.com02/08/2008.
Mithya -Rajat Kapoor's film
Lucky are we, the famished cineastes, to get two films that merit more than a passing glance within one week - Rajat Kapoor's "Mithya" and Rohit Jugraj's "Superstar".
"Mithya" is a mellowed-down account of a fierce gangland rivalry. But none of the actors are seen fighting for a voice or a space. In a world gone awry and propelled by moral tensions, the characters fit in without pressure.

Rama Rama Kya Hai Dramaaa - a poor drama
Finally comes the release of a film that has been pushed ahead week after week to avoid clashes with other films. The film finally comes out this weekend as a solo release , but maybe the audiences have even forgotten about the existence of
such a film. With the delay in release and a dip in the promotional activities of the film, the film releases without much buzz of any sorts.- by indiaglitz.com02/01/2008
Rama Rama Kya Hai Drama - A dreadfully droll drama
You know that feeling you get while undergoing molar surgery or when you have a head on collision with another vehicle while driving down a dark road? You get the same dreaded feeling of disgusted disbelief while seeing "Rama Rama Kya Hai Drama".
This movie is a piece of putrid tripe masquerading as mirth and camouflaged as comedy. At the end of this dreadfully droll drama, you look around and ask: "Why me?"

Rama Rama Kya Hai Drama - A film by Chandrakant Singh
You don't go with much expectation to watch this film, but you leave the multiplex a bit surprised that the movie did manage to raise a few laughs. And credit for this turn around should go to Rajpal Yadav who single-handedly steers the film from stagnating to a mundane comedy. With his experience and expertise he lifts the film a few notches higher. However, with not much support coming from the other cast, it gets lost somewhere. - by glamsham.com02/01/2008.
Rama Rama Kya Hai Drama - Worst comedy movie
"Rama Rama Kya Hai Drama" could be a contender for the trophy of the worst comedy ever made in India. The lines that the two couples, Rajpal Yadav-Neha Dhupia and Ashish Chowdhary-Amrita Arora, throw at one another make you question the institution of marriage.
The plot is intensely anti-marriage. Perhaps the director or writer doesn't believe in it, but does he believe in cinema? The awry proceedings try hard to convince us that there are no rules governing the genre of comedy. Sure, but show us at least one genuine moment of humour in this homage to bilge. - by nowrunning.com02/01/2008.
