The film is packaged with excellent production values, but overall, this is just another derivative of Dutta’s film Border in a fresh avatar.

Inspired by a true story, Gali Guleiyan is an astutely mounted psychological drama that unfurls intriguingly. At the core of it is an interesting story of Khuddoos (Manoj Bajpayee), a brooding character living in denial, trapped within his locality and circumstances.

Stree moves in mysterious ways through a labyrinth of lip-smacking interludes, some razor-sharp others blunt to the point of blandness. Even when the momentum of the eerie gets overly airy, there is still enough steam in the storytelling to keep us interested, if not enthralled, to the end.

Overall, this film might not have the spark of its predecessor but nevertheless, it is light-hearted enough to bring a smile to you face.

The film is shot on a lavish scale with ace production values. The music of the film is composed by Himesh Reshammiya and the background score by Monty Sharma. But what stand out is the fine sound designed by Resul Pookutty.

At the end, the in depth explanation of a genius seems forced.

Overall, with an overload of patriotic films in the recent past, Gold fails to offer anything exciting.

Mounted with excellent production values, the film has its moments of brilliance and cliches, which does offer a midlist, escapist journey, over all.

“The Meg” is best when it acknowledges its derivativeness, just one more silly shark movie in an ocean full of them. Its finest moment is when Statham, having willingly jumped into the water near the Megalodon, channels Dory and murmurs to himself: “Just keep swimming.”

Karwaan has much that is wrong with it. But it also has plenty that pleases, a warmth and an empathy for the misfits that makes it a very endearing road trip, albeit with irrelevant deviations.

Eventually, if you sit through the ordeal of watching Rajkummar Rao romance the stunning Ms Rai Bachcchan in an abandoned industrial factory with only her pet dog for company, Fanney Khan is a heartwarming ode to life, Lata Mangeshkar, Mohd Rafi and Sheila Ki Jawani. Effervescent and emotional, it is an effective antidote to the pain of existence.
