 Karan Johar has scored a hat-trick. His Kal Ho Naa Ho (even though he carries the producer's tag on it) is slated to be a hit. There aren't two ways about it.
The film works - albeit mildly, on almost all the parameters - be it direction, characterization, performances, music and production. Not to mention art direction, locales and the over all look of the film.
To set doubts to rest right at the beginning, it isn't a take off on either Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Anand or Asit Sen's Safar. Except for the fact that a hero has to die in the end - incidentally, for which you are prepared halfway through the film, there is no similarity.
The weeping, wailing and a-tissue-needed-a-minute (which spelt the doom for K3G-detractors) are kept to a minimum. And the credit for that can safely be given to debutant director Nikhil Advani who does a very commendable job for a first timer.

 Media exposés are still scarce in our movies Somewhere filmmakers feel condemning the press would invite bad reviews for the film.
So is the press sporting enough to take pot shots at itself?
The gutter-level of a part of the electronic medium is here converted into fodder for murky movie making. Taking a cue from Hollywood films like "Absence Of Malice" or the recent "Paparazzi", choreographer-turned-director Raju Khan goes for the jugular but somewhere loses his way and ends up with the jocular.
The electronic media barons and journalists behave no better than the cheap filmy villains of yore, scheming, conniving, leering and indulging in the most vulgar behaviour, making one wonder if there is any difference between Mogambo in "Mr India" who fantasised in his surreal den and the media baron in "Showbiz" (played with habitual cool by Gulshan Grover) who plots the downfall of celebrities.
From the giggly wide-eyed reporter in "Mr India" (Sridevi) to the vicious immoral news-hound played by Sushant Singh here, journalism, like every other walk of modern life, has come a long way in our cinema.

 Cash directed by Anubhav Sinha is yet another action thriller. The director's last effort DUS was impractical, yet kept the audience engrossed to some extent. For Cash, Anubhav has managed to pool in a good star cast and made use of animations which is new to Bollywood, but failed to work on the all important script. So what's the story all about? Although there isn't any... Let me try explaining the initial introductory scenes. There are three diamonds on which Angad (Suniel Shetty) a don, Doc (Ajay Devgan) an ace con artist, and Shania (Shamita Shetty) head of security have set their eyes on and are planning hard to take possession of it. Angad's girlfriend Aditi (Dia Mirza)
helps him in executing his task. Doc employs Lucky (Ritesh Deshmukh), DJ (Zayed Khan) and Pooja (Esha Deol) in accomplishing this task given by Aditi. Shania is unaware of the fact that her boyfriend Karan, whom she considers to be a writer, is in fact Doc. Who overtakes whom, who wins the diamonds forms the rest of the movie.
Well, so far it seems to be a fun and thrilling heist. But not quiet. Anubhav Sinha (the director) sure has made a visually enticing movie but Vinay - Yash (the writers) have let him down big time. The first half of the movie moves at an extremely sluggish pace with all the unnecessary introduction of the characters, who suddenly turn into weird cartoons. Out of nowhere a fast paced climax is arbitrarily slapped onto the film.
