• Hanks, who teams up with Spielberg for the fourth time, brings his adept everyman quality to the role of Donovan, sniffling his way through snow-blown Berlin trying to secure “a happy ending for everyone.” The film has the classic Spielberg stamp imprinted all over.

  • Humour is forced and the dialogues are shallow, frivolous and lacks class. The classification of the families too, seem grossly mismatched making the entire Pullav hackneyed and difficult to digest.

  • …keeps you on the edge during its show-stopping sequence, which is worth a watch.

  • While the first half of the film is interesting, the second half of the narration drags. It is the verbose exposition coupled with; the never ending battles scenes, numerous characters with odd sounding names and poorly synchronised dubbing, that weighs the film down. Overall, the film gives a fair insight into this historical biopic.

  • Puli’ has its moments but they’re short-lived — like the wonderful stretch where Vijay embarks on an Indiana Jones kind of adventure. It’s a great idea that goes haywire in the execution. Chimbu Deven is a creative filmmaker, one with good ideas, but doesn’t quite succeed in translating them on to the screen in a way it will appeal to everybody.

  • Overall, Talvar is a rusty film that disappoints.

  • Overall, “The Intern” snugly fits into a bland film for a night-out.

  • Overall, Scott Cooper’s direction results in a well-made and absorbing film, inundated with appropriate menace, but lacks the emotional core and sociological angle. Black Mass thus seems like more of a documented procedural routine.

  • The computer generated images of the animals like; the bull, the elephants, pythons and water buffaloes are a tad tacky. This along with the gaudy graphics, flashy effects and verbal assurances, I am sure would sway the gullible audiences. Overall this is a highly avoidable film.

  • What makes this film mediocre is Jones and Meaghan Oppenheimer’s writing. Taken from a story by executive producer Richard Silverman, the characters are half baked and one-dimensional and the plot surrenders to formula instead of subverting it.
