Stroryline: Two friends (Madhavan and Sharman Joshi) embark on a quest for a lost buddy.

As they make their way through the perilous landscape, another journey begins: their inner journey through memory lane and the story of their friend – the irrepressible free thinker Rancho (Aamir Khan), who in his unique way, touched and changed their lives. It’s a story of their hostel days that swings between Rancho’s romance with the spirited Pia (Kareena Kapoor), and his clash with an oppressive mentor, Viru Sahastrabudhhe (Boman Irani).

Review: Auro (Amitabh Bachchan) is an intelligent and witty 13-year-old boy with an extremely rare genetic defect that causes accelerated aging. He suffers from a progeria-like syndrome. Mentally he is 13, very normal, but physically he looks five times older. In spite of his condition, Auro is a very happy boy. He lives with his mother Vidya (Vidya Balan) who is a gynecologist. Amol Arte (Abhishek Bachchan) is young, progressive and a full-of-ideals politician. He is out to prove to the world that ‘politics’ is not a bad word. He is a man with a mission. Auro is Amol’s son.

Director: David Dhawan
Release Date: 2 October 2009
Review: In the past decades David Dhawan has successfully given us highly enjoyable movies on the subject of extra marital affairs such as “Biwi No.1″, “Gharwali Baharwali” and “Sajan Chale Sasural”. But his current “Do Knot Disturb”, lacks the famous David-Govinda punch and fails to provide the expected entertainment factor to the viewers. Though the movie does manage to make you laugh in some particular scenes but the number of those hilarious moments is too small for a David-Govinda comic venture.

Director: Rohit Shetty
Release Date: 16 October 2009
Review: A new genre has arrived in Bollywood! I would like to call it Shetty comedy! The Golmaal director has certainly succeeded in creating a brand for himself with All the Best.
Though some situations in the movie look forced, but cinema is known for taking such liberties. How else do you think Manmohan Desai would have survived. The best thing about Shetty comedies, are they don’t seem repetetive, and every time offers something fresh. Despite using the same comic formula (of punchy dialogues and multiple characters), till now Rohit Shetty has prevented himself from being typecast.
But beyond a point, it’s difficult to maintain that comic momentum. Even comedy king like David Dhawan slips whenever he’s overconfident. The recent example being Do Knot Disturb.
