What makes this film brilliant is the complex and layered narrative, which has three stories that unravel simultaneously. Jeffery Hatcher’s screenplay shuttles between the past and present seamlessly making the entire viewing a delightful experience. Overall “Mr. Holmes” is a must see for all Sherlock Holmes aficionados.

With simple, natural characters and an uncomplicated, yet spirited plot line, “Ant-Man” is a visually engaging and entertaining film. An unlikely hero getting convinced and trained to become a super-hero is the premise of the film which woos the audience.

Overall, it is a highly engrossing and sensitively told documentary of a life wasted.

Overall, directors Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda, have ensured that Minions have all the elements and star power to be a great family entertainer.

The plot meanders aimlessly with frivolous loud scenes and the direction often seems staged as there is no chemistry between the characters. Watch this if you have nothing better to do.

“Papanasam” is the best and the most faithful remake of the original. It shows what Kamal Haasan is capable of doing when he’s at his best.

Mounted on an epic scale with visuals in neon blue and golden hued frames with cool CCI images incorporated, the film is glossy and mind-boggling. Director Alan Taylor’s pace of the narration is racy and he is technically savvy to deliver a well-synchronised action film, on par with the last four editions.

What started off as the lovable underdog story on television in 2004, has now blown into a big screen tale of sycophancy that is repulsive to a certain extent. While the plot reveals how the foursome are entrenched in the most glamorous and superficial elements of the industry, after a point the novelty factor of their lifestyle begins to wear off. And, like their lives, there is no substance in the happenings in this film that documents their exploits.

Melissa McCarthy, who had earlier teamed up with director Paul Feig in “Bridesmaid” and “The Heat”, once again shines with an author-backed role. She displays her comic personality with aplomb. Her transition from an object of ridicule to a vulnerable but effective heroine, with a mouthful of diatribe and uninhibited aggression, makes her simply hilarious.

Ironically, at the end of this film, one of the characters perfectly summarises, “We are all ridiculous and nothing matters”.

So, just watch this film for its entertaining quotient.
