Humshakals(Hindi) Rating: *  ½ This one’s a clunker what with three sets of actors striving hard to overcome the lack of good sense, plot, script and humor thereof.  Sajid Khan at his humorless worst. Even his ‘Himmatwala’ remake looks better in retrospect!
Ek ka Dum 1( Hindi) Rating: *  * ½ A frenetic jump happy action thriller that uses the tired ‘memory loss’ formula to allow for it’s repetitive plotting pattern. This long-in-the-tooth, dubbed from Telugu, Mahesh Babu vehicle also incorporates some fast paced south Asian styled action but the conviction and plausibility are heavily suspect!
Chef(English) Rating: * * *1/2 The face saver this week, this gastronomical drool worthy culinary delight has enough humor and emotion to whet your appetite. It’s a food-trip worth taking!
With you, Without You(Sinhalese-Tamil/English Subtitiles)Rating: *  *  *  A tragic romance, this film pairs a Tamil with a native Srilankan  and brings out their ideological differences and prejudices after marriage which inevitably lead up to a tragedy. Not very convincing in it’s climactic spiel. Otherwise a mood piece with beautifully somber tight-lipped romantic treatment and a stunningly  expressive performance from national award winning Anjali Patil lends it some elevation!
