Anupama Chopra's Film Reviews
-
The good thing about bad films is that sometimes they are so bad that they become good. Which means that at some point, they stop being merely run of the mill mediocre and transcend into a delirium of bewildering narrative, inane dialogue, bad acting and general all around absurdity thereby becoming pure unintentional comedy. Rajjo is such a film.

Watching Satya 2 is like being bludgeoned. I say, stay at home and revisit the first film.
-
…the story is so compelling and the questions it raises are so urgent.The Fifth Estate is an opportunity lost.
-
The trouble is that writer-director Saurabh Varma makes this story so unnecessarily convoluted and long that by the time we have the great climactic reveal of who did what, we don’t really care. The forgettable songs and synthetic leading lady – Elli Avram – don’t help. Neither does the somewhat forced desi dilli vibe – you know characters going on about siyapa and chand mar deni hai. Or the laughable scenes of hackers with names like Floppy and Chutney congregating.
-
There are enough twists, turns and built-in nostalgia to make this reasonably fun. I’m going with two and a half stars.
-
I only wish the material had lived up to its potential.
-
Diana is an inexplicably bland portrait of an extraordinarily dramatic life. It takes some talent to make Lady Di boring.
-
The producers’ money and the actors’ time have already been wasted by Besharam. I recommend that you save both by skipping it. I’m going with one star.
-
Phata Poster Nikhla Hero is intermittently entertaining. If you are undemanding or a Shahid Kapoor fan, you might enjoy it.
-
Grown Ups 2 is too shoddy, lazy and low-IQ to be fun.
