Bad Film Critic (with data)
I watched a nice film - Yahaan. And I couldn't resist checking what Taran Adarsh had to say about it. Of course, he trashed it. Then, I found this site called AllBollywood.com, that had reviews from different sources - pretty cool. I put together a little graph showing the negative correlation between my taste and Taran's taste.
I was quite surprised to see an almost perfect correlation. I had to try this out - so I checked the rating for Kabul Express. It got a 2.5, with Adarsh stating that the "aam junta" would not be able to appreciate it. Now I was convinced I'd like this movie. And it was awesome. I strongly recommend this film - can't believe it was made in India (felt that way about Iqbal and Dor too).

Hi: Mr. Adarsh (not so Adarsh actually) needs to do Hindi film industry a favor and stop using anything which may result and written form.
I was reading the review for "ek chalis ki last local" and noted how "ta ra rum pum" got a 3.5 from him compared to a 3 for ECKLL. I have often noted his bias towards Yash Raj films. I don't believe he is able to comprehend the movies being appreciated by the "multiplex going audience". He is sitting in some Mumbai high rise in his ac-ed office and dishing out trash mostly based on his assumption that "masses are asses". Too bad for the new generation of film makers who have brought a breath of fresh air to the film industry !
