Do Lafzon Ki Kahani has nothing much to offer apart from Randeep Hooda and the MMA sequences. Watch it if you swear by Hooda.

At the end of the day, Veerappan is hardly the redemption Ram Gopal Varma could have hoped for. It is 2.5 hours of unbearable torture.

In all, this Tony D’Souza film works solely because of Emraan Hashmi. The actor pours in his heart and soul into playing Azhar, being Azhar.

The one aspect where Baaghi wins big is the cinematography. Binod Pradhan’s camera is adept at capturing the Vallam Kali (the boat race festival in Kerala) with equal ease as the fight-club sequences in Bangkok.

Watch Baaghi this week if you want to whistle along to Tiger and Shraddha’s bone-breaking punches.

In all, understanding exactly what goes on in the mind of an obsessed fan or a troubled superstar is not easy. ‘How can someone do this for a star?’ is a question that has plagued a lot of us at several points in our lives. Maneesh Sharma and Shah Rukh Khan hand-deliver that mindscape – of both the fan and the star – on the screen. And brilliantly.

Jon Favreau’s live-action re-imagining of the 1967 film, The Jungle Book, is a visual treat. Along with Neel Sethi’s Mowgli and a superb voice-cast, this adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book is a winner on many fronts.

Ki And Ka might feel like the two longest hours of your life. Balki sets out to demolish stereotypes, but in the process, ends up affirming them even more. Watch it only if you swear by Kareena or Arjun. Or good germs of films spoilt by bad execution.

At its core, John Abraham’s Rocky Handsome is a tale of emotion and action. And it is in the action part that this Nishikant Kamat-directed film shines.

…underneath all the brilliance of Kapoor And Sons, there lies the problem of the quick-fix solution. Half of Batra’s film is a lesson in embracing the imperfections and searching for a proper solution to them. Therefore, when the story uses that very hasty, knee-jerk climax to get things in place, it comes across as a betrayal.

At the end of the day, Priyanka Chopra’s Abha Mathur does offer a role model to many, but the reality too is too clear: A happy ending is but make-believe in the hinterlands of the country. Watch Jai Gangaajal for Priyanka Chopra.
