It was really pathetic to see two over rated actors trying their hand at some of the most lame comedy ever televised anywhere in the world!
And these bums are paid crores of rupees to "perform" lame "entertainment" routines while an overwhelming majority of India's population can barely make ends meet!

I don't understand what is 'nonsense' about this. I too have felt some of his reviews as too pompous, but please could you enlighten us what you find nonsense about this article? I have seen 4 of the movies listed here and he has said the right things this time.
Raja Sen's entire fallacy of Tarantino's movies is wrong. Tell me one movie of his since Jackie Brown that has dilly-dallied with the gray aspect of human nature. The good guys are good, the bad ones are bad. The bad guys engage in something horrendous, which prompt the good ones to seek revenge. It's the same little limerick that's repeated across genres and suffused with historical distortions. Great movies tell you something about human nature. About why we are, the way we are. And how our societies, our institutions and our marketing is built into this basic fabric. A 'Nashville' wasn't just about country musicians. It was a microcosm that was inflated and it told something about us as human beings. That's what great movies do. All great movies refer to each other on one aspect - 'The personal vision of its maker'. It's not a variation of genres, and sub-genres that's unfortunately become Tarantino's only calling card. Like David Edelstein rightly puts it, "Tarantino has become his own yes man." Fanboys, Graphic-Novel, Video-Game addicts and Raja Sen should know a little more about 'What being Courageous in Art' means before they start embalming every single thing that comes out of the Tarantino stable.

Nice Analysis. I thought Django was boring and so were most before that. Compared to the coen brothers, this guy is all bloated with hot air.
