Yahaan Sabki Lagi Hai
2015 · BookMyShow · Mar 2015
A valiant effort, Yahaan Sabki Lagi Hai tries to connect with young adults. With some amazing shots and some unique music, the film tries to tell a message. Watch this movie with some friends and you might enjoy the madness.
Kingsman: The Secret Service
2015 · BookMyShow · Feb 2015
...delivers knockout blows and finally we have an action film without the existential drama that most of them seem to exude. Taron and Colin Firth are a wonderful team. One is the young disciple who needs training and the other, the master-spy. Kingsman: The Secret Service is a glorious collection of everything good about spy films and none of the political correctness. In the end, you will walk out of the theatre feeling like a gentleman spy. How awesome is that?
Wild
2015 · BookMyShow · Feb 2015
A compelling human story about grief, pain, hope and happiness. This movie brings all of this together. Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern are amazing in their respective roles. Jean-Marc Vallee has delivered a movie that fills you with a warm glow. This is a story that should be emulated by all.
Love, Rosie
2015 · BookMyShow · Feb 2015
Flat, dull and devoid of emotion...The locations are beautiful whenever they are in focus. Lily Collins is okay on the eyes. And for the girls, we have ripped guys. It is passable for a Valentine's Day film, if you don't have any other plans.
Foxcatcher
2015 · BookMyShow · Jan 2015
Foxcatcher is one of those films that need to be seen. You get to see powerhouse acting from Steve Carell. In fact, he has been nominated multiple times for his performance. The dynamics between Tatum, Ruffalo and Carell also keep you captivated. Foxcatcher isn't just a sports film, it's a showcase of relationships and human nature.
Seventh Son
2015 · BookMyShow · Jan 2015
Seventh Son has some really nice special effects. Shot in picturesque locales, you are invited to a world of fantasy. It makes for a refreshing change because you get to see good triumph over evil. Jeff Bridges does his bit, but he ain't the Dude in this one. All in all, a weekend watch.
Big Eyes
2015 · BookMyShow · Jan 2015
Big Eyes gets you right in the soul. It is a remarkable story that shocked the whole world, and not just the world of art. You are shown a world before instant fame. It talks about the price of being famous. In the end, it shows us that good art is honest and true to the soul of the artist. Tim Burton makes us believe in the Big Eyes.
The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death
2015 · BookMyShow · Jan 2015
The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death is one of those films that you can watch and then brag about later. There isn't much thinking to do. As a one-time watch, this film is perfect. Watch this film over the weekend and you can add another film to your horror movie list.
Unbroken
2015 · BookMyShow · Jan 2015
Unbroken is one of those movies that tell a story about a man and his spirit. That is the biggest reason to watch this movie. To quibble over the way the story is told is fine. But you need to remember that these stories have to be heard and told, so that you remember the men and women whose sacrifices kept the darkness away. Watch the movie and try to think about the true cost of war. That should give you pause.
This Is Where I Leave You
2014 · BookMyShow · Dec 2014
This Is Where I Leave You deals with a family and death. That is a topic that makes for somber watching. There are points though, where you will have a smirk on your face. In certain places you will feel for the characters and then in a moment, the connection is lost. Tina Fey and Jane Fonda are a treat to watch. Jason Bateman does his best as the man who is trying to reconcile with his loss and the state of his life. In the end, the movie makes you feel something. However, that feeling is rare and that's the pity. In the end, it's just another formulaic comedy-drama.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1
2014 · BookMyShow · Nov 2014
You get thrust into a dystopian future where you will enjoy the ride. Each character of the film is layered and every actor brings their own touch to the film. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 connects you to Katniss, her struggle and the rebellion. It is a wonderful third film in The Hunger Games series. And of course, you get to see Philip Seymour Hoffman's wonderful acting once again.
John Wick
2014 · BookMyShow · Nov 2014
Gun-fu, fast cars, Keanu in black, headshots, bad guys with bad attitudes and whole lot of combat. That is all. A simple story about revenge. Watch this movie with your buddies and enjoy a tightly done action film with no loose ends.
Beauty and the Beast
2014 · BookMyShow · Nov 2014
Beauty and the Beast looks good. Visually, at least. The special effects are not too bad. You will laugh a lot more if you decide not to take it seriously. At the end of it, this isn't a movie you should watch on your first date, but on the fifth date, when you can laugh at the screen with your better half.
Big Hero 6
2014 · BookMyShow · Nov 2014
Big Hero 6 makes animated action movies fun for the whole family. You can watch this from start to finish and go back to watching it all over again, just to find out that it has gotten better upon second watch. Disney has delivered big time. However, it has now been done without playing to the crowd. That is the best part of the movie, a story that is amazing, visuals that are stupendous, humor that will leave you giggling, and excitement that will make you whoop. Do not miss this movie. Big Hero 6 is just what the doctor ordered.
Roar
2014 · BookMyShow · Oct 2014
You will groan in certain places, but you will grin when the tiger starts to prowl. In the end, it is a film that has been made with passion and care. It just falls short in certain elements. The movie is good for a weekend watch with friends.
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For
2014 · BookMyShow · Sep 2014
This movie is a screaming ride into the night. You will feel the howling of the wind, the corruption of power, the seduction of beauty, the poison that enters men's souls and the desperation of Sin City. A dance of death, destruction and dames, an entertainer till the end.
The November Man
2014 · BookMyShow · Aug 2014
It is a return to form of sorts for Brosnan. Not a great return but hey, he shows that he's still got it. We have the usual fare and the usual twists (watch, you will get a little surprise). It is a movie where there isn't too much to follow, but enough to keep you interested in the plot. With enough gunplay and combat for everyone, the film is good for a weekend watch.
Katiyabaaz
2014 · BookMyShow · Aug 2014
It is a honest capture of a world that we might not know about. An honest point of view. In the end, we are left wondering how in the world are we still going through this. That is the beauty of the film, you will be left wondering some very pointed questions. Such documentaries must be appreciated and encouraged. An en-'light'ening film about the literal quest for power.
The Expendables 3
2014 · BookMyShow · Aug 2014
The plot is thin, sure. Predictable maybe, but the execution is good. All in all, a watchable movie with the action building till the very end.
The Giver
2014 · BookMyShow · Aug 2014
The movie takes an already used concept and gives it a new twist. But in our day and age, we need to know the full worth of what it means to be human. Only then we stand a chance at being human.
Entertainment
2014 · BookMyShow · Aug 2014
This movie doesn't require a lot of thought process. You can leave your brain at home and enjoy a mindless comedy with the standard lines. If you are fond of canines, then watch the dog try to do his thing. On the whole, a family entertainer with terrible music. A decent attempt but it fails to make the grade. Watch the movie with your little ones (the human kind, don't know if they allow dogs in the theatre).
Guardians of the Galaxy
2014 · BookMyShow · Aug 2014
This is one of those films where a bunch of relatively unknowns make it big. It is an epic metaphor (again, another little joke from the movie). Don't miss it on the big screen. The visuals are stunning to say the least. The soundtrack will make you smile from ear-to-ear. As you enter the worlds, be amazed and also don't forget… watch out for the Easter eggs.
22 Jump Street
2014 · BookMyShow · Aug 2014
This is a funny film where the humor is defined not by what gets the most obvious laughs, but by the tongue-in-cheek wit that runs rampant. This isn't a serious movie. You are encouraged to laugh at the way the movie industry takes itself so seriously.
Lucy
2014 · BookMyShow · Aug 2014
Luc Besson delivers a visually stunning and explosively wonderful experience.
Hercules
2014 · BookMyShow · Aug 2014
Hercules is a good film compared to the other one that was inflicted on us. Dwayne Johnson does his part.
The Grand Budapest Hotel
2014 · BookMyShow · Jul 2014
This is a movie for everyone. You shouldn't miss this. As the ending credits roll, you will sit in the theatre and wonder 'where did the time go?' And you will want to watch this movie all over again. The experience of The Grand Budapest Hotel is sheer brilliance combined with humor and passion.
Begin Again
2014 · BookMyShow · Jul 2014
A beautiful story about two people whose lives have been given set-backs. They find each other and in helping each other, they start to move forward. The pain which they feel passes and hope blooms again. Beautifully shot with amazing music, which you will enjoy and sing along to, this film makes it an all-round treat for the senses. Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo bring a connection to life within the film. You will thoroughly enjoy the movie and you will be left wanting for more at the end of it. And you will want it to "Begin Again."
Amit Sahni Ki List
2014 · BookMyShow · Jul 2014
A movie about the quest for love. Sort of. In a way. Actually, a movie about the concept that love cannot be quantified but should be felt. In effect, this is a decent movie with the standard jokes and some really good ones. You will enjoy the moments when the fourth wall breaks. The insights are good and some are really funny. Virr Das does an enjoyable turn. The music, notably the soundtrack, make the movie come alive. Mala and Devika are a treat for the eyes. On the whole, Amit Sahni Ki List is worth a watch on the weekend, with your friends or your significant other.
The Fault in Our Stars
2014 · BookMyShow · Jul 2014
The movie is an attempt at making a teenage relevant story come to life on the screen. In the end, it is an attempt. If you are fan of the book, you might enjoy the film or you might hate it. You can even compile a list of errors or discrepancies between the book and the film. You will enjoy seeing Willem Dafoe but he just doesn't get enough screen time. All in all, either you will cry till your eyes turn bloodshot or you will roll your eyes till you strain them.
Humshakals
2014 · BookMyShow · Jun 2014
A fun and unconventional movie about a chef, his life, the people he loves and his dream to cook from the heart. Jon Favreau makes you forget about the world and inhabit this lovely concoction where you will drool while watching food being prepared. It is an exploration of what it means to be happy and the risks we have to take in order to truly be great. Catch Chef and enjoy this heartwarming tale of food, passion, family and humor.
The Nut Job
2014 · BookMyShow · Jun 2014
It is a movie for children. Designed to capture their attention, they will have a laugh at some of the gags. You can also enjoy this film if you are just looking forward to watching any animated feature.
X-Men: Days of Future Past
2014 · BookMyShow · May 2014
X-Men: Days of Future Past is return to the old. The future is shown dark and terrible, the past is given this shine but it isn't what it seems. You are taken through this world and you will root for your heroes. The bad guys get their head kicked in, the good guys fight with honor, there are giant robots and loads of action. Don't miss it, this is a brilliant cinematic experience! For all you Marvel fans out there, remember to stay till the end of the credits.
The Xposé
2014 · BookMyShow · May 2014
Firstly it is a Himesh Bhai's film. "Suroor" makes a comeback. The movie is good fun when you watch it with your buddies. You will nudge each other and make silly comments about the dialogues. This is a movie for the weekend. All you have to do is get your tickets, leave your brain behind and let the silliness take you over.
Manjunath
2014 · BookMyShow · May 2014
This is not a hero film. This is a movie about one guy who made a choice to tell the truth. Nothing more, nothing less. His is a story that has to be heard, to ensure that Manjunath's life wasn't spent in vain. Watch this film and let the story carry you.
Purani Jeans
2014 · BookMyShow · May 2014
This movie takes patience to watch. So if you have nothing better to do and you want to watch a movie where you will laugh at the film and not with it, then this is for you.
Brick Mansions
2014 · BookMyShow · Apr 2014
This is an action movie with loads of stunts, explosions, fights and parkour. You can even think of it as Paul Walker's final finished work. Don't think too much, the movie is all about taking your brain and leaving it at home. At the end of the day, you will see fists flying and people falling. Not Luc Besson's finest work, but it is passable, considering the other options. So sit back, and enjoy a remake.
Tarzan
2014 · BookMyShow · Apr 2014
The animation is alright. The details in the computer graphics are good. In 3D, you get to enjoy the depth of field, and the wonderful background. Other than that, it's just another Hollywood remake gone awfully wrong.
Transcendence
2014 · BookMyShow · Apr 2014
The film is an attempt at the whole A.I. Genre. With the world of computing making immense strides, the movie tries to explore the next gen. before it gets here. The plot is alright, the pace does drag. But Rebecca Hall and Johnny Depp try their best. Rebecca Hall brings a lightness to the proceedings and Johnny Depp's one-liners are fun. All in all, a movie to watch when you have to kill a few hours or if you want to experience a time-lock.
Non-Stop
2014 · BookMyShow · Feb 2014
If you have 2 hours to kill, and you have left your brain at home, then this movie works. Don't expect great shocks, or plot twists, you can see them from a mile away. Michelle Dockery is pretty to watch. In the end, you can be glad that atleast they got the title right.
Dallas Buyers Club
2014 · BookMyShow · Feb 2014
Everyone should watch this film as it has weight and value. We must learn about the dark times of our society, if we are to move into a brighter future. A future which is free of hate and bigotry and a future filled with hope.
The Monuments Men
2014 · BookMyShow · Feb 2014
The stars don't shine as bright in this film. The movie shows us some amazing art work and the magnitude of the sacrifice that was needed to save such pieces. Some of the depiction of the paintings and sculptures are sublime. If you enjoy art, then you will enjoy the references to various masters. The movie's point that to save a generation, lives will be lost however the creations of those people shouldn't be.
RoboCop
2014 · BookMyShow · Feb 2014
The action sequences, while few, are quite good. Robocop's training and testing are also quite cool. Samuel L. Jackson definitely has his moment to shine and you will not be disappointed. The whole idea is about the blurring of the line that divides humans from machinery. A few pertinent questions are asked regarding the culture of consumerism and security. The graphics are alright. On the whole, a film which can be seen, but you will have to try to be patient.
Gunday
2014 · BookMyShow · Feb 2014
With strong characters and a story filled with twists and turns, this movie takes us on an adventure.
Her
2014 · BookMyShow · Feb 2014
This is a movie for everyone. You will smile and laugh, tear-up and be left speechless. Spike Jonze has made a movie which engages you on a human level. This in-depth look at the way people fall in love. We feel the rush of falling and flying at the same time. The connections we make along the way, the disagreements, the anger and the hurt that we feel are just a few of the things that this movie leaves us with. In the end you will ask yourself a few questions, about what makes us real.
The Lego Movie
2014 · BookMyShow · Feb 2014
The Lego Movie is a film for the whole family which shouldn't be missed. The world of Lego awaits you. Take a leap, leave the world behind. Believe in the blocks and set your imagination free.
American Hustle
2014 · BookMyShow · Jan 2014
The movie is about the hustle. The hustle to survive. This story keeps you hooked. The acting and characters are outstanding. The movie's soundtrack transports you back in time. The cinematography is crisp and personal. Since this is a movie about con-artists, you will obviously be trying to figure how it is done. Word of advice, don't try. The twist and the con job is sudden and rather fun when it happens. A definite must-watch movie with an amazing cast and brilliant performances. In the end, it's all about the hustle.
Grudge Match
2014 · BookMyShow · Jan 2014
Robert De Niro, Alan Arkin and Sylvester Stallone bring the magic. Remember to watch out for Lightning's quick wit and jokes. The movie is about keeping the gloves up, keeping the chin down, striding into the centre of the ring and finishing the bout with heads held high.
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
2014 · BookMyShow · Dec 2013
The movie is a visual treat. You get immersed in the sublime beauty all through the film. Walter's life is shown with changing color tones. However, the audience will get the feeling that the ending leaves something to be desired. Overall the film is a visual adventure about life.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
2013 · BookMyShow · Dec 2013
...an amazing film about a lot of things like freedom, people, revolution, politics, hope and love. It captures the spirit of Katniss and what she stands for. A movie with a strong female lead, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is one of those films which entertains and captivates. Watch the fire spread.
Delivery Man
2013 · BookMyShow · Nov 2013
On the whole, this is a one-time watch movie. Humour is present in bits. You just get a chuckle or two, in fact. There are a few touching moments. But nothing that reaches in. The emotion doesn't leave the screen. A movie where token parts are performed, not lived. Delivery Man is a movie where you are left wanting more at the end of it.
Thor: The Dark World
2013 · BookMyShow · Nov 2013
All in all, a good comic-book film. Definitely worth catching.
Ender's Game
2013 · BookMyShow · Nov 2013
A solidly made sci-fi film which is worth a watch.
