We at MovieSum like to take our Cinema seriously & it’s painful to us that most of the sites in India prefer Bollywood gossip to serious talk about Cinema. It was with an aim of finding the voice of the serious cinema-phile in the Indian online space that MovieSum was born. MovieSum is serious about one & one thing only, which is providing you with all the cinema related information that you need to know about in India. We don’t care which actress is dating whom or who feels comfortable wearing a bikini or not. We keep away from gossip like the audience would from a Vivek Oberoi movie. We hope to provide to you the best possible reviews, news & previews content available online in India. We will tell you if the movie you will be spending your money on is worth your hard earned money, let us do the math for you so you don’t have to.

Our current team consists of;

Danish Bagdadi

Danish’s first movie ever in a theater was the 1989 Batman movie & things have never been the same again. He wore his father’s jacket as a cape that night and stood at the edge of his terrace looking down upon the city imagining himself as batman, his parents knew the craze had begun; their son would never be the same again. For many years they took him to dozens of psychiatrists but none could find a reason to explain his near psychopathic love for all things related to cinema.

Today he juggles between a 3D animation course he’s taken up & trying to maintain his movie collection which at last count was around 2100 movies. In his free time,(ha-ha! That’s a myth!!) He raves & rants in his writings about movies & cinema in general. He also runs an underground movie spoof production company. Along with his evil henchmen Kaalia & Krishna & they make god-awful, groan-inducing spoofs of equally bad movies. He has been complimented by many members of the opposite sex on his dashingly handsome looks & deep, soothing voice but personally we think he croaks like a toad & looks like a Neanderthal man, only more prehistoric.

He can have a discussion on anything related to cinema for hours together just don’t get any cockroaches around him. He would bore you with little useless information on everything & anything to do with the topic & won’t stop until you’ve fallen asleep or you’re dead, then he just leaves you with the bill & runs away.  Feel free to write to him, but don’t call him unless you want to be subjected to his hideous caller-tune.

Andrea McLeod

Born in Australia, Andrea became hooked to Bollywood when she watched Karan Arjun, leading to a love of Indian films. Due to very cheap video rental from the local Indian grocery store and far too much free time while at university, she watched hundreds of films from the very good to the very bad, the newest blockbusters to black and white classics. She might look like a foreigner but she knows way too much useless filmy trivia for her own good.

After watching far too many films over a period of 5 years, Andrea eventually picked up Hindi and now delights in picking apart the bad films, and praising the films that are evolving Hindi cinema. She's settled in India now and while her very brief career as a junior artist is thankfully over, she's become one of our resident Bollywood film critics.

 She can also eat cake & throw it at the same time. Beware of running into her at any public place cause if you even dare to look at her, she would think you are trying to hit on her & would unleash a barrage of expletives in Hindi, which does sound funny hearing her say it. She will most likely in the future become a bank robber or kidnap little dogs from their rich owners. Feel free to write to her but beware she might invite herself to your place for lunch or dinner or any food between them.
