Anupama Chopra's Film Reviews

The weakest link is the tedious romantic angle between Ajay and Kareena Kapoor, who plays his gluttonous girlfriend. Kareena’s beauty is startling, but here she’s not even attempting to act. Despite these soft spots, Ajay keeps the film moving. I was cheering for Singham, but ultimately his solutions are downright dangerous. I don’t want to tell you what happens, but it made me very uneasy.

…even if you’re willing to ignore the logic-free story and buy heavily into the cult of Bhai, Kick is bumpy, and far too convoluted to deliver the joyride of a Dabangg. What does work are the thrilling action sequences; Rajat Aroraa’s crackling dialogue; and, above all, Nawazuddin Siddiqui as the wicked Shiv Gajra.

Grace of Monaco works neither as fairy tale nor a deconstruction of a fairy tale.

Now that’s what I call Fugly. Despite the good intentions, this one is a misguided mess.

In a summer brimming with annihilating monsters, vicious aliens and assorted villains, Edge of Tomorrow just isn’t dazzling enough to stand out.

Holiday – A Solider is Never Off Duty is a superstar vehicle without a brain or a heart.

The Raid 2 is an ugly and brutalizing experience.

Stromberg, an Oscar-winning production designer, gives us a lot to look at – luminous pixies, magical moors, a crow that takes on many avatars and lots of intriguing creatures, big and small. Even Maleficent’s incredible wings have personality.
I wish some of that had rubbed off on the writing.

Heropanti is designed to do exactly one thing – make us like Tiger Shroff and that it does exceedingly well. The film is a showcase for Tiger’s talents – he is an incredible acrobat who does backflips in dance sequences and effortlessly leaps offs walls in action scenes. He is a smooth dancer. I can’t wait to see what he does next. I can’t wait to see what he does next.

Godzilla himself has weight, literally and figuratively. Can someone give this force of nature the film he deserves?
