Jawaani Jaaneman
2020 · DNA India · Jan 2020
Watch it for Saif Ali Khan's performance, it is sure to give all the 90s kids major nostalgia, an actor who ages like fine wine and is capable of playing himself in his biopic someday. Also, watch it for Alaya F and Tabu, there are no two other actors who could have played their roles with such ease.
Joker
2019 · DNA India · Oct 2019
Joker is a statement on society and perspective. It claims everyone has their side of the story. Truth is the one you chose to believe in.
War
2019 · DNA India · Oct 2019
WAR seems to have just begun, here's to hoping for a better future without a sequel.
Chhichhore
2019 · DNA India · Sep 2019
Book yourself a date with these Chhichhoras this week and go on a nostalgia trip, while learning a thing or two about life!
Saaho
2019 · DNA India · Sep 2019
Saaho is a rank disappointment and an opportunity missed. Watch it for Prabhas's patches of brilliance but you will need loads of patience!
Mission Mangal
2019 · DNA India · Aug 2019
It is an inspirational tale, but not a masterpiece. Watch it for Vidya and Akshay's patches of brilliance.
Batla House
2019 · DNA India · Aug 2019
John Abraham starrer not Independence Day treat, but good one-time watch
The Lion King
2019 · DNA India · Jul 2019
The child in me was too excited but as an adult I was left wanting for a little more than what I witnessed. 'Hakuna Matata' take your child or inner child along while watching the film!
Avengers: Endgame
2019 · DNA India · Apr 2019
If you are not an MCU fan, it's high time you become one and take a part in the beautiful journey of Infinity Saga.
Luka Chuppi
2019 · DNA India · Mar 2019
Don't go with high expectations and you might end up enjoying 'Luka Chuppi' on a movie-date.
Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga
2019 · DNA India · Feb 2019
DO NOT MISS 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga'. Let's take this story to the smallest of towns. Let the Sweetys in every village and every town know that they are normal!
Baazaar
2018 · DNA India · Oct 2018
...the film hits an emotional plateau. It fails to make you feel deeply for its characters. You wish you had a tear for at least one of them. Had that happened, Baazaar would be considered a much better investment...If powerplay and money matters interest you, watch Baazaar.
Paltan
2018 · DNA India · Sep 2018
Paltan is definitely worth a watch as it relives India's 1967 triumph over China and rouses our patriotic feelings.
Vishwaroopam 2
2018 · DNA India · Aug 2018
Vishwaroop 2 boasts of some great cameos by Shekhar Kapur, Waheeda Rahman and Jaideep Ahlawat but they are so good in whatever little screen-time they have got that sometimes you feel they are wasted in the film. The spy-thriller doesn't rely much on jingoism, though, which is a relief.
Mulk
2018 · DNA India · Aug 2018
Mulk is worth a watch because it focuses on some pivotal issues of the day.
Mission: Impossible – Fallout
2018 · DNA India · Jul 2018
With a script that does justice to its larger-than-life scenario, heart-racing action stunts and good performances, Fallout is certainly right up there with some of the best instalments in the movie franchise.
Lust Stories
2018 · DNA India · Jun 2018
In Lust Stories, the directors have a huge field to play around in and they make the most of it. They prove that lust, after all, is yet another expression of love.
Kaala
2018 · DNA India · Jun 2018
Don't go for the slow-mos and the dialogues. Watch it for the story, and the incredible performances. It's a bit too long and there will be a time when you might feel bored but the climax will defintely make up for it.
Veere Di Wedding
2018 · DNA India · Jun 2018
It's being hailed as a female buddy flick and the girls are open about drinking, having flings and discussing sex, which by and large is taboo in our films, so it's brave in that sense. But it has nothing to do with women empowerment. Once you accept that and watch the film you are in for a crazy ride. Yes, there are loopholes in the story but then it never professed to be taken seriously. It's pitched as a comedy and one needn't always find logic in the fun.
Baaghi 2
2018 · DNA India · Mar 2018
If you're game for action and a fan of Tiger Shroff's stuntbaazi, then you should give this film a shot.
Hichki
2018 · DNA India · Mar 2018
It's an inspiring slice-of-life film which has to be watched for the simple sensitive manner in which it is told. It will also take you back to your school days. And of course for Rani who makes a powerful comeback.P.S. Please carry a packet of tissues.
Hate Story 4
2018 · DNA India · Mar 2018
Watch it if you're a die-hard fan of the franchise and would 'hate' to miss this story.
Dil Juunglee
2018 · DNA India · Mar 2018
It's old wine in a new bottle, but watch it for Taapsee and Saqib's refreshing chemistry.
Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety
2018 · DNA India · Feb 2018
The youth will connect with it and the ending will take you by surprise. One star only for the climax which combines emotion, drama and humour perfectly. A very rare instance to happen in a Bollywood film, watch the film only for that if nothing!
Aiyaary
2018 · DNA India · Feb 2018
It's an interesting film for those feel strongly for our army. And, of course Manoj's performance should certainly not be missed.
Pad Man
2018 · DNA India · Feb 2018
Balki who is known for turning things on its head has done it again with Pad Man. While the subject itself lends to it, the story telling is what makes the difference. An awkward and taboo subject has been dealt with sensitivity and even humour. However, the film does get preachy at points, and slows it down.
Tiger Zinda Hai
2017 · DNA India · Dec 2017
This is a full-on masala entertainer and seeing the way the people bajaoed ceeties and taalis whenever Salman came on screen, the superstar has a winner with this one. Watch it for him and the superb action.
Chef
2017 · DNA India · Oct 2017
Just don't compare it with the original Hollywood film and once again Chef will leave you with a smile.
Cars 3
2017 · DNA India · Jun 2017
It's a movie made for the fans of the franchise. Carefully packaged to give the feeling of satisfaction but nothing more. Spending 109 minutes to smile is not a great price to pay. Go for it.
Sachin: A Billion Dreams
2017 · DNA India · May 2017
Sachin: A Billion Dreams is a must watch. It weaves in the tale of India, Cricket and Tendulkar and the amalgamation is breath taking.
Noor
2017 · DNA India · Apr 2017
The film is strictly for Sonakshi Sinha's fans. It doesn't offer anything new. You can give it a miss.
Ben-Hur
2016 · DNA India · Aug 2016
The comparisons to the 1959 film of the same name are inevitable. And because they belong to different eras, play out differently. The good news, that despite it not being superior to the 1959 film, it's well worth your time and stands on its own, despite its... shorter running time.
