Ram Gopal Varma, on a good day, can easily make a meal out of such a plot, the way he did with his fantastic thriller, Kaun?! Here, what could have been a delicious thriller turns out to be merely a watchable and forgettable revenge-drama, which never goes as Malang as I thought it would be. Sorry Suri!

A Tired, Overlong Potboiler That Suffers From Lack Of Surprise

The problem with today’s comedies is that they think they can get away with cast and canvas, and making poker faces on posters would led to the belief that they have made an entertaining film for families. Actors participating in such comedies usually say in interviews and write on social media how their films are not for critics and request the audiences to leave their brains at home. I did exactly that, didn’t apply any logic or brain, all I desired was laughter… where’s that? Whom should I talk to now?

If War was always about its leading men, the duo manages to deliver some thunder in this piece of absolute blunder. 

Go for War only if you root for Hrithik and/or Tiger.

Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff share fantastic chemistry, but War isn’t half as fun as what the trailer promised

A rom-com centred on cricket would seem like a winning pitch. Sonam K. Ahuja’s new release is less ambitious about pushing an unconventional theme than her last, Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Lagaa, which makes this film more box-office-friendly and far more obvious in what it sets out to narrate.

The film has a winning premise, just like the book it has been inspired by, Anuja Chauhan’s The Zoya Factor, but Abhishek Sharma and Chauhan herself, fail to give the same magic and madness to the adaptation. It reeks of redundancy and gratuitousness. Zoya’s love for firecrackers, a scene involving old-age romance, Salmaan’s rivalry with Angad Bedi, who has issues of his own, all merely skim the surface, never succeeding to care for these characters, let alone rooting. The blame then goes to the weak acting, particularly by the leads, who try everything to make the charm and the chemistry work, alas all in vain.

There are flashes of brilliance from the prop cast. Sanjay Mishra as Babli’s father, Javed Jaffrey as Hukum Singh, and Aparshakti Khurana as Babli’s friend are a delight to watch, but their performances are hampered by shoddy writing.

Jabariya Jodi is a case of jabariya filmmaking. That’s not amusing at all.

Khandaani Shafakhana betrays most flaws that efforts of debutant directors in Bollywood normally do. Hopefully, Shilpi Dasgupta will give us a better second film.

A novel concept in Bollywood derailed by writing and direction…As Bharat, Salman Khan is charismatic, but lacks on-screen energy.
