Meet Harry Potter, the teenager
CHANDIGARH: Welcome
to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry Potter is back
with a bagful of magical exploits. If you hated him for spearing a
serpent to death and indulging in other acts of wanton violence in
"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", you would love him
for his relentless fight with the forces of darkness in "Harry Potter
and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (Fun Republic). |

Film Review
Run
of the mill fare
CHANDIGARH: You
need to be a real Bollywood buff to see the bones crunching, vehicles
crashing and wild chases — all amalgamated in an inactive script in
“Aan”. Director Madhur Bhandarkar has evidently tried to do a
“Khakee” by weaving numerous sub-plots in the cop drama.
Devoid of any spin, it seems to be a case of all vigour and
energy gone awary. Inspector Vikram Singh (Shatrughan Sinha),
Inspector Appa Naik (Suneil Shetty) and constable Khalid (Paresh
Rawal) have compromised with the corrupt system.

Watch out for alluring watches
|
You are all set for yet
another hectic day in the office. In fact, you have taken out a nice
cream-coloured suit to go along with cheerful scarf of the same hue.
But the golden watch you are wearing around your wrist is too gaudy
for your dress. You know it for sure, but cannot help.
Working women now have something more than office outfits to look forward to as office watch collection is available for corporate women.
