A black comedy that mostly ends up grey (The Times of India - 2.5)
It's short and snazzy, yes, but Emotional Atyachar doesn't exactly live up to the turn-of-the-century title it seems to have borrowed from one of the funkiest songs of recent movie lore. Lifting the kinky catchphrase from Dev D isn't enough to ensure kinky cinema too, even though you can see the spo...
We Are Family is no Stepmom (Rediff - 1.0)

Only brings Nirashayein (Glamsham - 1.5)
Nagesh Kukunoor is known to make films which talk about the spirit of life. His films IQBAL and DOR had his exceptional touch and beautifully captured the various shades of life and its celebration. AASHAYEIN (Hope) is another attempt by the filmmaker on the same lines.
