In a mood to watch Rani Mukerji but can't decide which film? Want to check out some Bollywood romances but not sure which DVD to go for? Here's a solution to your problems.
Arrey mamu, kya mazaa aata agar appan ke paas ek jaadu ka pustak hota jo akhhi filmon ke bare mein batata.
And now it seems there is such a book!
When Abhishek Bachchan launched the Times Movie Guide last week in our Mumbai office , he flicked through it instantly to check the reviews of his own movies! Not that he hadn't already read them in The Times of India, but as he said, "Though I have all these reviews put up on my bedroom walls... to see them in a book, is exciting. For me, this book is a ready reference of all my film reviews."
That's for the actors. For regular film buffs, the Times Movie Guide is their ticket to Bollywood. With 561 reviews, the guide is an absolute must for those wanting to rent or buy a Bollywood DVD or VCD. It covers every movie made between 1995 and 2007 that can possibly be viewed on DVD. From dhak-dhak divas to baritone barons, romantic Romeos and taporis - in these pages you will find all those who sex up your daily lives with their reel presence.
Armed with this guide, which is one of its kind in India, you feel empowered to buy or take on rent any Hindi film DVDs without fear of a wrong choice. The comprehensive index gives the user the flexibility of approaching it from any angle or area of interest.
Want to watch just those movies that won the Filmfare Awards in the last 10 years? Turn to page 289 and you have your list drawn up for you. Want to gift your dad the best comedies of the decade or your wife the best romantic films made in the last 10 years? Page 297 ensures you need to look no further.
Or, why not just ensure you are abreast with Indian cinema's achievements and watch the best 100 films made in the last decade? Turn to page 286 for your list!
Written in the inimitable style of The Times of India critic Nikhat Kazmi , the film reviews follow the star rating system of the newspaper, taking into account both mass appeal as well as artistic excellence . Each movie is rated keeping in mind the tastes of the frontbencher as well as the most fastidious cineaste.
Times Movie Guide also brings you a complete lowdown on the movers and shakers of the film industry, with crisp and colourful biographies of the prominent actors, and filmmakers who are defining the tone and content of Indian cinema today.
A Times Group Books publication, this guide joins other notables from this division, such as the Times Food Guides and Times Style Guides. Like these other guides, Times Movie Guide also follows a comprehensive system of indexing that makes it easy for the reader to choose films from the genre he's interested in - best romantic, best action, best gangster, best adult and best comic films amongst others.
Times Movie Guide is available at all leading bookstores for Rs 150 along with a free audio VCD. For online purchase log onto- http:// www.books.indiatimes.com. A Hindi translation of Times Movie Guide will be available in the market within two weeks.
