Race 3

2018 · FridayMoviez · Jun 2018

The film has too many jumps and the loopholes from the script level. Dialogues by Kiran Kotriyal are stupid, vague, spineless and these words neither connected with the audiences nor a single dialogue will be remembered.  Moreover, 'Race 3' is not even a one time watch as you can watch all those songs on Youtube.

We personally feel that the dialogues are the soul of this film. We hope you understand and the dialogues in the climax just win our heart and every single critic around us couldn't just stop clapping. Cinematography by Laxman Utekar is beguiling capturing breathtaking sequences from the city of dreams. Film editing by Bodhaditya Banerjee is spot on and you see bang on continuity in the film's narrative. Overall, 102 Not is a not to be missed film with a heavy dose of mixed emotions that are just going to stay in your heart forever.

Technically the film is power packed with sheer cinematic brilliance and we cannot stop applauding the scenes captured by Anuj Rakesh Dhawan with delicate finesse and class. Mukul Dev has lined up every single event which Omar was involved and the intriguing screen-writing by Hansal Mehta is what the film stands for. To be honest, seek it not as a film but a source of authentic information. Serious cinema lovers !!! A must watch.

It is an outstanding example of putting up an exceptional team show. Every actor played their part seemingly well but what stands out in our heart is Kartik Aaryan and Alok Nath's chemistry ruling the movie by the end. Kartik sweetly calling Alok Nath 'ghasitey' is all that we loved. Well if you loved the 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' series, you will definitely love this one as well. And if you haven't watched it, Go get a laugh riot ticket for this comedy flick.

The direction of photography by Himman Dhamija saves the film as some wonderfully shot scenes are the bearable visuals that you can definitely admire.

Traffic, both the original and its Hindi version, will forever bear authentication to the enormousness of the loss that Pillai's untimely death represents for cinema. The goosebumps that shall rise and the pace of your heart beat are worth every second of his thriller. The unforeseen circumstances grip on to your attention so tight that you wouldn't want to move an inch. This one, you cannot miss, go grab your seats now.

Jha aces with the story, screenplay and acting. Sachin Krishn's cinematography is top class. Salim – Sulaiman's music is decent though the background score gets a little loud at places. If cop flicks are up your alley, then 'Jai Gangaajal' is not a bad watch, and if you are a Priyanka Chopra and Prakash Jha fan, then it's definitely a treat for you. Go for it.

Yes, there are blemishes and the film from nowhere is flawless. Comparing it with the book is something that we would certainly ask you to avoid. It's slow paced at some points but it's the grandeur and visual representation that will help you get through those moments. Watch it with a fresh perspective, and it will not disappoint you. We go with a three and a half star for this one where that ½ a star is added just for the love of Kashmir.

'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo's storyline is not as commendable as the filmmaker's previous efforts neither is the music. Except Salman and Anupam Kher, the rest of the cast are not quite up to the mark. Of course the film is high on lavish sets and grandeur, but the storyline is not something very special and fizzles out. Watch 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' only if you are a die-hard fan of Sooraj Barjatya's films or if you have nothing better to do this weekend.

Meghna Gulzar's direction is commendable as 'Talvar' is a pretty well made film and might manage to strike a chord with the audience who like realistic films.
