Actually, it is more than a couple of years since the film has been completed and has been awaiting release. Producer Boney Kap­oor, after several false alarms, had finally announced its rele­ase on 2nd April. Call it a ... http://www.thefilmstreetjournal.com/2010/03/milengey-milengey-milengey-but-when/ The trade may remember the time when Sohail Khan and UTV’s Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna was due for release. It was being mentioned in hushed tones that UTV was not promoting the film to the fullest. At that time, of course, both, UTV and Sohail Khan, denied that there was anything ... http://www.thefilmstreetjournal.com/2010/03/sohail-khan-cries-foul/ The first trailer of House­full is on air and it is one that is bringing a smile on the viewer’s face.

It will meet with a disastrous fate at the box-office. It will probably find some patro­nage among the festival circuit audience abroad. Studio 18 and August Enter­tain­ment Pvt. Ltd.’s Road, Movie (UA) ... http://www.thefilmstreetjournal.com/2010/03/review-of-roadmovie/ On the whole, Rokkk is an ordinary fare which suffers on account of a confused screenplay.
