Most Divergent Takes

Bhoomi

Bhoomi

2017 · DNA India · Sep 2017

Bhoomi lags far behind Kaabil and Mom which were based on a similar subject. The item song featuring Sunny Leone dulls the "feminism" flavour that Omung wants to give this film. The climax is straight out of a bad '80s movie, with some unintentionally funny moments. Shekhar Suman annoys. Strictly for loyal Sanjay Dutt fans.

Haseena Parkar

Haseena Parkar

2017 · DNA India · Sep 2017

The dialogues are cheesy and are borderline juvenile at times. Shraddha's makeup is patchy and inconsistent. Blatant brand placement, especially of a jewellery and water brand that probably didn't exist in that era, is an eyesore. All this ends up making Haseena Parkar one of the weakest gangster movies to hit the screens.

Newton

Newton

2017 · DNA India · Sep 2017

Masurkar makes humour his weapon of choice and sets up a satire that leaves you entertained, but also brings to fore some uncomfortable questions. He also manages to stay neutral and doesn't pass a judgement on any of the sides.

Meri Pyaari Bindu

2017 · DNA India · May 2017

While nostalgia can be a great cinematic tool, one wonders how much the current generation can relate to it...

2016 · DNA India · Jun 2016

Don't miss this scary and unapologetically sadistic movie where Nawaz is at his creepiest best.

Phobia

Phobia

2016 · DNA India · May 2016

This one manages to scare you without the aid of badly dressed ghosts with ugly make-up. Watch it if you enjoy spooky tales and, of course, for Radhika's stellar performance.

Revolver Rani

Revolver Rani

2014 · DNA · Apr 2014

This would have been a great party if only it wasn't so long. But one has to applaud Kangana Ranaut, who could give all the dacoits in B-Town a run for their loot, for another great performace. Vir Das is just about alright. Kangana delivers her acting chops, but this Rani may not be able to score over the Rani of Queen.

Dabba (The Lunchbox)

Dabba (The Lunchbox)

2013 · DNA · Sep 2013

The fact that it has garnered so much acclaim even before its release in India is something no one can ignore. This one may not please those looking for a masala flick, but is more than your money's worth.
