Pros:
Keeps us updated on India related stories

Humor used to be good (although, it gets stale quickly because of the same M. O. over and over again). I used to like their trash talk in the comment section, but soon it became repetitive and boring.

Restaurant reviews are very good to read if the reviewer is in a good mood (very rare)

Highly interactive because this blog seems to be his/her/their only thing in life, and the owner responds even as late as 3 am when the Indian visitors comment.

Command of Engish language is excellent. But the writing has been uninspiring lately.

The owner is a numbers geek. So when it is a fact based report, this site gives a unique perspective, which sometimes makes for interesting reading.

Cons:
Extreme prejudice against anything Indian. Reserves bonus hatred for Telugu people.

Both movie and restaurant reviews are not trustworthy and inconsistent because it depends on the mood of reviewer - not at all objective.

Movie reviews are terrible because the reviewer only rates them as either excellent or terrible. Nothing in between. Very poor judge of acting.(Look for the Cast Away review). The reviewer is drunk most of time. So although it makes for funny reading sometimes, it is most of the time unfairly harsh, when it comes to Indian movies. The Hollywood movie reviews are dull when compared to professional reviewers.
Recent Hindi movie prove the reviewer is inconsisten, because they heaped overwhelming praise on actors that they had nastily dissed earlier. (Cases in point: JTHJ, Housefull(sic) 2 reviews)

Their music knowledge is abysmal just like Narayana said. Luckily they don't do music reviews because they know their limitations, for once.

Yaps that he/she is fair in moderating, but blows fuse easily and unfairly.

Obsession with Apple products. Not a major con, but it is annoying.

The owner is apparently not maintaining good health and is being at his/her grumpy worst.

Bottom Line: Cons outweigh the Pros because of the owner's bigotry. More like 1.5 stars. Terrible site for reviews. Decent site for India news updates (if you can put up with the nasty owner). The site has potential to be good at things they do best, but unfortunately they spend most of the time on their weak stuff.

P.s.: I think they are a 2 member team. One of them is nice and the other one is vile trash. Or it may be a case of extreme bipolar disorder. Either way, I apologize to the nice one(if there is one) for this bad review. I hope the vile one will depart soon(or you will take your bipolar meds regularly) and change the site into a better one.

Admin is a waste of sperm. Completely racist and arrogant. Tend to be targetting a certain group...
