Pete's Dragon

Pete's Dragon

2016 · BookMyShow · Aug 2016

Pete's Dragon is not so much about the performances as it is about the visual treat and the heart-warming story. There are parallels you might want to draw with The Jungle Book or even E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial but that will not take away any the fun the movie promises. Absolutely, go and enjoy the film. It will make you wish you had an Elliott all for yourself.

Finding Dory

Finding Dory

2016 · BookMyShow · Jun 2016

...the bar might have been set too high by the 2003-hit. And hence, it would be only fair to comment that in isolation, Finding Dory is definitely a fun watch, to say the least. You are taken in by the delightful characters yet again, the ocean looks just as lovely if not better and well, it is yet another Disney adventure you'd do well to enjoy.

The Jungle Book

The Jungle Book

2016 · BookMyShow · Apr 2016

The Jungle Book will be a nice weekend watch merely for the nostalgia at play and how incredible the movie looks. The story has long stayed with us and will for a while to come. Every return to the jungle must be welcomed.

Rocky Handsome

Rocky Handsome

2016 · BookMyShow · Mar 2016

Rocky Handsome as much as it achieves what it sets out to be – an all-out action thriller will be far from being counted among Kamat's best works.

Zootopia

Zootopia

2016 · BookMyShow · Mar 2016

What works beautifully for Zootopia is the sweet balance the movie maintains between humor that is subtle and in-your-face. You will do well to constantly look out for fine jabs, wit that isn't most obvious, and smile. Watch out for the logo behind Officer Hopps' phone, for instance. Zootopia also scores with the message it conveys. Whether it is how persistence is the key to success or the understated yet very relevant moral that one rotten apple does not make the entire basket awful, there is something to take home here.

Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3

Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3

2016 · BookMyShow · Jan 2016

You could give Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3 a try if you have enjoyed the previous two films and are a fan of mindless innuendos.

Wazir

Wazir

2016 · BookMyShow · Jan 2016

By the end of Wazir, you will know you haven't watched anything very novel. The plot, the ultimate reveal are, for the lack of a better word, very predictable. You'd still do better than give this one a miss. A good thriller doesn't come by every day. Wazir is almost there.

The Peanuts Movie

The Peanuts Movie

2015 · BookMyShow · Dec 2015

...a fine excuse to get all nostalgic with good ol' Charlie Brown and the gang. It is also a wonderful way to introduce the uninitiated to what will forever be one of the most lovable comic strips.

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo

2015 · BookMyShow · Nov 2015

...will not be the best bhai movie you'll have watched or even the best Rajshri movie for that matter. There are several problems with the movie; whether it is the hackneyed storyline or mediocre performances but you'll do well to give this a watch because you know like every Rajshri movie, this one has a heart too and it is in the right place.

Titli

Titli

2015 · BookMyShow · Oct 2015

Titli must feature on your must-watch list of movies simply because it will be a long time before you are treated to such superb performances and effective storytelling at the movies again.

Bridge of Spies

Bridge of Spies

2015 · BookMyShow · Oct 2015

Certain shots leading to the end also make you want to roll your eyes with the sheer obviousness of it all. However, packed together, Bridge of Spies is a brilliant watch.

Crimson Peak

Crimson Peak

2015 · BookMyShow · Oct 2015

Crimson Peak will not be counted among del Toro's best works but deserves a watch for sure.

Bhaag Johnny

Bhaag Johnny

2015 · BookMyShow · Sep 2015

You should give Bhaag Johnny a try simply for it being a fast-paced thriller with a story that isn't cliched. The movie is not bad for a one-time watch. You will see an effort made to make a movie that is 'different' and at the same time, not trying to go overboard to stand out.

Meeruthiya Gangsters

Meeruthiya Gangsters

2015 · BookMyShow · Sep 2015

If you're a fan of the Anurag Kashyap school of cinema, you should not give Meeruthiya Gangsters a miss. Do not expect the world from it and you will not be disappointed. This movie is what it sets out to be – a definite entertainer.

No Escape

No Escape

2015 · BookMyShow · Aug 2015

No Escape cannot be missed because we know how much we root for the underdog. We know how much we love stories of ordinary people fighting extraordinary odds. This movie gives you all of that. Watch it also to be pleasantly surprised by Owen Wilson and the very sincere performances by the rest of the cast. The thrills of course, cannot be highlighted enough.

The Gift

The Gift

2015 · BookMyShow · Aug 2015

You must watch The Gift because this is a thriller that fans of the genre have been waiting for. You must watch it for the sincere performances of the cast. Bring an open mind to the movie hall though.
