• Unfortunately even as the anticipations and expectations from Nikhil Advani’s ‘Hero’ were very high, it fails to deliver what was expected from it. Frankly, Advani’s ‘Hero’ comes nowhere even close to original ‘Hero’ directed by veteran Subhash Ghai in any department. We are going for two stars for ‘Hero’. Watch it only if you have nothing better to do this weekend and if indeed you have something very special to do, you can easily skip this one.

  • …might click with the audience mainly because of the charming dons Majnu Bhai and Uday Bhai as both Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar are the icing on the cake in the film and they indeed devour the cake whole with their wacky one-liners and tickle your funny bone throughout the film. It’s a light hearted comic caper which can kill some of your idle and monotonous time. So, if you are a fan of slapstick humour, do book your tickets for this one.

  • ‘All Is Well’ fortunately is not a brainless comic caper but is a dramedy which is well worth your time and money. We are going for a two and a half stars for this one. Go, watch the film if you are dying to see Abhishek Bachchan on the silver screen after a long time and if you are looking for a drama with a tinge of comedy and atleast some brains in it.

  • The screenplay is pretty boring with just a few dashes of humour. Unfortunately, those are not enough to get the audiences glued. The editing could have been crispier and the cinematography more thoughtful. It’s the treatment that the film and its subject absolutely deserved that’s missing. We would go with a 2 star for this one for a few dialogues like ‘Ladai toh kab ki chhod di, but haar nahi maan raha hu’ and an attempt to put forward a biopic that people needed to know about.

  • …despite the fact that the film gets a little bit stretchy in bits and parts, we are going for a two and a half stars for ‘Brothers’ since the three leading stars Akshay, Sidharth and Jackie carry the film quite well on their shoulders and also full marks to the realistic combat and training sequences. While there is nothing very different or special in the storyline of the film, it is still worth a watch, especially if you want to see Jackie Shroff in one of his best performances and if you are a die-hard fan of mixed martial arts.

  • …while it’s a fact that there is nothing very special about the film, we give it 2 stars only for Riteish Deshmukh’s versatile acting and the appropriate editing by Shweta Venkat. Watch it only if you haven’t yet seen a film with a social message or if you have nothing better to do this weekend.

  • Kapoor tries to say too many things at once which all seem disjointed, had he focused on one aspect; the outcome would have been different. As it is, only watch if you have nothing better to do this weekend, or are a huge fans of the star cast.

  • A single mother strangled between true love and a poignant past, the idea has the capabilities of generating a few goose bumps, but poor story telling makes ‘Hamari Adhuri Kahani’ truly disappointing.

  • …the film makes for a decent watch if you oversee the storyline that is as superficial as the high-profile Delhi-ites portrayed in the film. Pity given that Zoya has proved to be capable of much more. However, if you love the gloss of ‘ZNMD’ you sure are going to enjoy watching this one. No harm in watching it once…

  • A few scenes in the film are definitely entertaining including the parliament one. The comic timing of the actors takes the cake away at quite a few places too and then Lauren Dance number is worth watching as well.
    We would not say that the film cannot be missed but it’s not absolutely bad either. So if you have nothing that you are looking forward to do this weekend, go watch it at a theatre near you.
