Deadpool
2016 · IndianNerve · Feb 2016
Do not walk-in expecting a great superhero movie, because it's not. It's actually a great love story, I swear. A good, R-Rated love story of an anti-hero, something that attempts to move higher above Marvel's regular clutter, and succeeds in doing so. It's more in line with Honest Trailers, inverting the film's strong points to ridicule it. As in one instance, Deadpool refers to its débutante director Tim Miller as "an overpaid idiot", but if I was Marvel I'd give him some extra to make another NSFW one.
The Good Dinosaur
2015 · IndianNerve · Dec 2015
There are manipulative killers who can convince you to your own doom. There's also the power of nature's wrath in thunderstorms and raging rivers. But there are also ghastly looking kind souls who can help you in your journey. Friendship can replace hatred to add meaning to your life and make it a better one. It's life-lessons like these that make this film all the more appealing.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan
2015 · IndianNerve · Jul 2015
Following Salman's journey from Bajrangi to Bhaijaan, what really stays with you is the sweetness of the little girl's companionship. And that alone makes this film worth it.
Bāhubali: The Beginning
2015 · IndianNerve · Jul 2015
The first half of the film is laughable. There's little character and story development, and too much focus on glorifying the heroism of the lead star. It's the second-half where the film realises its true potential and is truly engaging. As most Telugu films, we are thrown into a flashback sequence where the director has picturised one hell of a war, complete with a whole new wildling army, the action and bloodshed contributing to multiple eyegasms. The fight sequences and stunts are very well choreographed with some really awe-inducing moments. The song and dance sequences only add to the drag, and could've been entirely scissored.
Killa
2015 · IndianNerve · Jun 2015
Uncertainty, emotion and subtle humor are the three important elements that make this film such a delight to watch.
Kaaka Muttai
2015 · IndianNerve · Jun 2015
This is one of the best Tamil films to have come of late. The little ones would find more joy in the two boys' lives than they ever would with VFX-manufactured entertainment, more so because it's relatable. If there's one film you wish to watch with your children this weekend, let it be Kaakka Muttai. Rewatch it even, if time permits.
Avengers: Age of Ultron
2015 · IndianNerve · Apr 2015
...this is the most cohesive Marvel movie till date. The Screenplay is just fantastic, every little loose end is tied up not only from this movie, but from the earlier ones and also sets up the Phase 3. I tried to find faults but I was having such a great time, they feel diminutive.
Margarita, with a Straw
2015 · IndianNerve · Apr 2015
It is indeed an individual's journey but in so many ways it is also about love and about losing the ones we love. I watched this film alone and realized that I shouldn't have. Go book your tickets and watch it with people you love, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Detective Byomkesh Bakshy
2015 · IndianNerve · Apr 2015
...has its share of flaws, but could be watched for its sheer ambition and scope. If Dibakar does make a franchise of this, I'd be more than willing to put my money on it.
Furious 7
2015 · IndianNerve · Apr 2015
or a long time now, we've seen how Fast and Furious films set up events for their next film during the final moments of a film, but not Furious 7. This movie puts brakes to its grumbling machine beasts and lets each character bid adieu to Paul Walker and his character in the movie, which is sweet.
Hunterrr
2015 · IndianNerve · Mar 2015
To catch up on the school-level immaturish talks on girls, love and sex, and to see how the talks have advanced from our transition from boys to men, Hunterrr is a good case study. An entertaining one at that.
NH10
2015 · IndianNerve · Mar 2015
Blood, gore and a big middle finger to regression – NH10 packs it all. A recommended watch.
Chappie
2015 · IndianNerve · Mar 2015
Definitely could have done better with a little more fun and humor, but either way it was still a great watch. I loved it and I have my own reasons no matter what the others say, especially the recognized critics. So, I suggest to go and find it out for yourself because, "I am consciousness, I'm Chappie"
Baby
2015 · IndianNerve · Mar 2015
There's a sequence towards the end where Danny asserts the Indian Prime Minister that their plan of execution might be risky, but it is definitely 'not dumb'. Unfortunately, the same can't be said of the plot.
Dum Laga Ke Haisha
2015 · IndianNerve · Mar 2015
This is a film which effortlessly connects with the audience, and the scenes which unfold may pretty much be happening in and around your neighborhood. Do watch it for good humor, and for those huge scoops of love dished out.
Now You See Me
2013 · Indian Nerve · Jun 2013
All in all, Now You See Me is a decorous affair that entertains, but is trapped within a web of cliches. Watch it for the brilliant performances and the well delivered witty dialogues.
The Hangover Part III
2013 · Indian Nerve · Jun 2013
This film, my friend, is loathsome and characterless, apart from being an embarrassment to the franchise. Avoid it while you still can.
