Review: The Only Place, Museum Inn Road – Bangalore

By kunika | Published: April 24, 2009

The only place is one place most old timers will know of. It used to be THE place to go to for juicy steaks, delicious burgers and cheesy pastas. The location has changed but the place is still the same, for better or for worse. The restaurant apparently got its name long back as it [...]

Dev D review

By kunika | Published: February 18, 2009

Dev D is the latest incarnation of the epic Devdas by Saratchandra Chattopadhyay. The idea of the movie might be from the book but the implementation is anything but. My first thought on Dev D – What a weird name for a movie ! What an eccentric song (emotional attyachaar) ! What a bizarre promo [...]

Review: President is coming

By kunika | Published: January 12, 2009

The President Is Coming – 8 Hands , 2 Birds, 1 Bush THE PRESIDENT IS COMING follows the likes of Khosla ka Ghosla, Bheja Fry and many other films of their ilk? It does seem like a script of a play and also flow the same way; I’d say that it is at least making [...]

Review: Ghajini

By kunika | Published: January 7, 2009

Revenge is what I want to take for the 3.5 hrs of complete torture I had to go through while watching Ghajini. For once the problem was not with the script. The idea and the story were good; it had (supposedly) a great cast with Aamir in the lead. The movie had a big budget [...]

RoadTrip, Indiranagar – Bangalore

By Sharninder | Published: December 4, 2008

Road Trip is a 50+ seater restaurant located in Bangalore’s upmarket Indiranagar area. Road Trip is a first of its kind concept restaurant that features motorcycles as a theme

The place opened in 2003 and has seen a lot of changes in the past 5 years. I believe it was also closed for some time during this period.

Kareem’s, East Street – Pune

By kunika | Published: December 2, 2008

After successfully running 7 outlets in Mumbai – The well known Kareem’s is now in Pune. Sadly it has replaced another one of our favorite joints – Olympia Kathi Rolls. Not to fret, though, there is some good news. Kareem’s has retained the Olympia Kathi Roll on its menu and have the same guy cooking [...]

You are here – by Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan

By kunika | Published: November 28, 2008

You are here… or… so you think ! What do a couple of college friends do when they are reunited after a long time ? Think about the good old days ? Especially if you are one of the lucky few who have had an entertaining & adventurous Teenage to Twenties. That was the feeling [...]

Copper Chimney, Bangalore

By Sharninder | Published: November 22, 2008

Copper Chimney at the Central Mall (MG Road) is an upmarket restaurant which serves Mughlai and North Indian cuisine. My wife and I were at Central today and decided to check out the place … once more. I’ve been there a couple of times earlier and unlike most North Indian restaurants in Bangalore, I actually [...]

Review of Fashion … and … when will it finish

By Sharninder | Published: November 18, 2008

So … I just finished seeing the movie Fashion and I have only one thing to say to Madhur Bhandarkar … that was one loooonnnggg movie dude ! Oh and I also think it was a very boring movie. I mean I get the idea of realistic cinema and and all that and I’d probably [...]

Dostana Review … and … Apple product placement

By Sharninder | Published: November 17, 2008

I saw Dostana last Saturday and kinda liked the movie. I mean I have no idea that John Abraham had so many fans in Bangalore. I mean fans of the male kind ! The kind who would whistle looking at John coming out of the Miami Ocean in his Undies … a ‘La Ursula Andress. [...]
