Movie Review

Kingpin

It has always been said that funny is a matter of taste. "Kingpin" is a matter of being funny by being tasteless. "Kingpin" is a gross, screwball comedy sprinkled with social and cultural satire, then loaded with bathroom humor and a whole heaping of cinema in-jokes and movie spoofs, plus one good sheep joke. If anything, "Kingpin" features a great competition between two characters for the worst ... ...

In 1978, water level in the Yamuna had reached 207.49 metres; in 2010 it touched 207.11 metres, the official said, adding that the government had evacuated 400 marooned people.

Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit Wednesday visited the flood relief camps and asked authorities to set up more such tents for displaced people, and also provide bread and milk to the children in the camps.
