Movie Review: "Janleva 555"; Star Cast: Kalpana Pandit, Anant Nag, Abrar Zahoor; Director: Sandeep Malani; Rating: * - mish-mash of genres, avoid it.
"Janleva 555" is like a slow poison that slowly consumes you, leaving you feeling wasted and annoyed. The theme and treatment of the film is outdated and difficult to digest from the word go.
It has all the ingredients of movies of the bygone era. Reminiscent of films of the 1970 and 1980s with 'nagins', 'saperas' et al, "Janleva 555" starts off as a snakebite awareness film and gradually morphs into.

Yesteryears' superstar Vyajayanthimala will be seen once again on the big screen after a long hiatus as she extends her support to an issue based film called Janleva 555. While the film deals with the importance of specialized ventilator systems for hospitals, Vyajayanthimala would not be seen in the film per se but would feature in a 2 minute video prior to the screening of the film. The video would have the legendary actress talking about how to save children who have been bitten by cobras in villages. Vyajayanthimala decided to extend her support to this project as she felt it was a noble cause that actor-producer Kalpana Pandit was addressing through the film. Janleva 555 is slated to release on Oct 19.

Former journalist and current filmmaker Sundeep Malani's Jo Jo Laali... Heart Rendering Lullaby, a 40 minute short film, has received rave reviews from those who have managed to see the film. The film is based on the relationship of a mother and child who are both affected by the AIDS virus.

Cast: Randeep Hooda, Kalpana Pandit, Saurabh Shukla, Riya Sen, Divya Dutta, Rituparna Sengupta, Sonali Kulkarni, Jesse Randhawa, Sada; Director: Srinivas Bhashyam; Rating: 1.5 out of 5.
Love Khichdi will leave you with some uncomfortable acid reflux just 15 minutes into the movie, for you will realize that you’ve wasted your hard earned cash.
Randeep Hooda is officially the least bankable star in Bollywood, as he comes up with his third straight stinker after Mere Khawabon Mein Jo Aaye and Ru Ba Ru. Director Srinivas Bhashyam relies on selling a story that is just about sex, not the brightest plan in the.

Movie Review: Love Khichdi; Star cast: Randeep Hooda, Sada, Rituparna Sengupta, Sonali Kulkarni, Divya Dutta, Kalpana Pandit, Jesse Randhawa and Riya Sen; Director: Srinivas Bhashyam; Rating: * 1/2 - Causes indigestion.

Whether it is male hating kaamwali bai (Sonali) or his bookstore running ‘intellectual’ colleague (Rituparna) or his adolescent.

Randeep Hooda's latest joy-of-life film is Love Khichdi in which he plays a small-town boy who finds himself working as a sous-chef in a five-star Mumbai hotel. Using techniques of direct-to-camera interaction popularised by Michael Caine in Alfie, the movie sees Randeep and the seven-women he encounters in the movie discussing their motivations and desires as the film unfolds.
As a chef, Randeep can't help comparing the women to the dishes he's creating - which of course begs the question for all regular Bollyspice visitors as to what dishes your top stars might represent? Aishwarya Rai Bachchan could be something elegant, light and creamy - a penne carbonara perhaps? Ayeshia Takia would of course be sweet and delicious - strawberry sundae maybe? Aamir Khan would have to be a very complex, heavily flavoured and innovative masala dish of course. We'll leave it to your imagination to think about other possible combinations!
