Movie Review: WATER (2005)
The last of Shah’s old school reviews: “Out of all the films that I’ve reviewed on this website WATER is one that I would strongly recommend to anyone and everyone…!”

Book Review: SON OF A WITCH (2005)
So, 10 years after the sequel to the original WIZARD OF OZ story, comes the sequel to that, as SON OF A WITCH. A story that covers events right after the original WIZARD OF OZ, SON OF A WITCH runs out of steam pretty quickly, and that novelty wears off…

Comic Book Review: ALL STAR SUPERMAN (2005) (Part One)
Hailed as one of the greatest Superman stories ever told, Grant Morrisson gives us the last Superman story ever told… in ALL STAR SUPERMAN. Unlike a reboot or re-telling of an origin story, Morrisson takes concepts and themes already established in the decades of Superman mythos, and enhances them in his own… unique and eccentric way.

Movie Review: SEHAR (2005)
Another oldie. It’s been so long since I saw this movie, I actually almost forgot about this review. But I wrote this as well, like 6 years ago. Thankfully one of my shorter pieces from back then.

Movie Review: KYON KI… (2005)

Movie Review: DUS (2005) – Action Masala At It Finest
With the latest Shah Rukh Khan starrer, RA. ONE coming soon, I think it’d be cool to check out a film from the same director, 6 years ago. So I present yet again, another action movie from days gone by… DUS.

Movie Review: APAHARAN (2005)
I’m back with another blast from the past. (I wonder how many cliche’d phrases I can keep using to describe my old articles… hmm.) Wrote this one in 2005… the year my writing really flourished, and also happened to be the year right before the Indian Film Industry was pulled out of its slump in 2006… coincidence??

Review: BLUFFMASTER (2005) Is One Of Bollywood’s Best Con Movies
‘Bluffmaster’ is a Bollywood movie that’s pretty decent and really cements 2005 as one of Abhishek Bachchan’s best years in terms of movies.
