Most Divergent Takes

Detective Byomkesh Bakshy

Detective Byomkesh Bakshy

2015 · Bollyspice · Apr 2015

...not your average suave, sophisticated sleuth. He makes mistakes, takes heroin to prove a point and dabbles in politics. But you have to admit, the detective has a method to his madness.

Happy Ending

Happy Ending

2014 · Bollyspice · Nov 2014

Maybe the cinematography will entice you enough to finally make the trip to the U.S. of A. Maybe you fall for 'Mileya'. As you walk out of the halls, whichever way you fell, Happy Ending wasn't matched up to what Paaji advised nor was it a comedy about romantic comedies. But you laugh, on occasion because you were warned.

Singham Returns

Singham Returns

2014 · Bollyspice · Aug 2014

You can blow up a million sumos, picturise ever fighting scene with real lions and scream "Now I've lost it" in every language you can muster. At the end of Independence Day, its Bajirao Singham action that will do the Koli dance to the box office tune. Not the critics.

Pizza

Pizza

2014 · Bollyspice · Jul 2014

Akshay Akkineni has reopened the door to a genre that urgently needs some fresh talent to invigorate it. Hopefully, just maybe, someone that will deliver. For now, Pizza is a decayed affair with some fresh toppings.

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan

2011 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

Mere Brother Ki Dulhan lacks originality and leaves one guessing what it would have been like without the loopholes.

Rascals

Rascals

2011 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

Oh dear. Where to begin with the film, Rascals. Sometimes the level that our writers go to recreate a hit can be baffling.

Tell Me O Khuda

Tell Me O Khuda

2011 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

By the end of it, you neither remember the music [Pritam], the camerawork, the editing or for that matter, the reason why you wanted to watch the film in the first place.

Singham

Singham

2011 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

So while Singham does roar his loudest, it doesn't always frighten.

Kucch Luv Jaisaa

Kucch Luv Jaisaa

2011 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

In a nutshell, Kucch Luv Jaisa lures the audience to the screens but doesn't know what to do with them, becoming a clear case of curiosity killed the cat.

Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap

Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap

2011 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

BHTB is a chance for Amitabh Bachchan to prove to the younger generation how he did it once and, also how he can still do it again.

Double Dhamaal

Double Dhamaal

2011 · Bollyspice · Nov 2012

Yes, you laugh at some instances but when you're expected to turn off your brain and relax to a nice guffaw fest film, you know you're heading the wrong way if your brain switches on again.
