Tashan is the cinematic equivalent of being caught in a dark alley and bludgeoned. The ear-splitting background score amplifies the visual and narrative mayhem. When I walked out of the theater, I felt like I had aged. Only the fittest will survive this o

Tashan, meaning style, is the most fitting adjective to pin Vijay Krishna Acharya’s debut film with.

Tashan has been in news for a long time now. The movie stars Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and Anil Kapoor in the lead. Akshay Kumar seems to be unstoppable with 4 back-to-back successes in 2007. Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are on an al

I don't think too much of the film but have to say I rather liked its spirit its attitude- or it's Tashan if you please. This is refreshingly unpretentious filmmaking from Vijay Krishna Acharya- eccentric outrageous and zanily over-the-top.
