Peter Duncan's Family Travels - Vol. 3 - India DVD

Advantages: Great comedy and storyline
Disadvantages: No real ending leaves it open for more Saiyuki's, though that may be good ^ ^

...Saiyuki Reload, another addition or play off from the "journey to the west" and previous Saiyuki episodes. Its a great tale about a buddist priest and group of 3 youkai (demons) that travel to india to save the world from the terriable minus wave that makes all the (would be peacefull) youkai go crazy. Saiyuki Reload is a great add to the Saiyuki pile. For those who watch the japanese version, I will say you'll not be dissapointed because all the voice actors from the previous Saiyuki's are the same, but for those who watch the english version, the voice actors are ALOT better than the previous. Mainly because Sanzo (priest) doesnt sound like a depressed teenager anymore. All in all you have to watch the episodes in full, including the little parts at the end of each episode called "urasai" which are sooo funny they'll keep you... Read review

...A Passage to India [1984] . . . In the film which is an almost faithful adaptation of E. M. Forster's novel A PASSAGE TO INDIA (1924), Adela Quested (Judy Davis) and Mrs. Moore (Peggy Ashcroft) travel to India to visit the latter's son Ronny (Nigel Havers), who is also Miss Quested's fiancé. Ronny works there as a civil magistrate who is surrounded by other English employees, and these prefer to stay secluded in a milieu which they created to look like home. However, this is not what the two women had in mind; they visited the country with the expectation of seeing the real India. They manage to do so, but this experience ends as a rather tragic one for both. They get the chance to meet Dr. Aziz who seems to have a revolutionary spirit that is not satisfied with how the English treat his fellow countrymen. When he talks to these two... Read review

...You had Heer-Ranjha.. Laila Majnu.. and now theres Veer Zaara.. another truly great love story. The film is full of emotion, romance, songs, drama and most importantly.. soul, which has been lacking in quite a few bollywood movies lately! Squadron leader Veer Pratap Singh (Shahrukh Khan) is a rescue pilot with the Indian Air Force, whilst on duty he comes across Zaara Hayaat Khan (Preity Zinta) the daughter of a Pakistani Politician (Boman Irani). She is a simple girl by nature, happy to marry the man of her parents choice, Raza (Manoj Bajpai). She goes to India to fulfill her Punjabi Grandmothers (Zohra Segal) last wish; to immerse her ashes in the holy river. But the bus she is travelling in meets with an accident, which is when she meets Veer. Their first impressions on each other are not so good, but before they realize... Read review
