Overall, “Trolls” is infectious, as it is not too preachy while balancing the universal truth about happiness. It will appeal to children and adults alike.

Apart from the filmmaker, Sushant Singh Rajput deserves applause for acing the body language of Mahi. He sinks deep into the character and barely resorts to employing props (and sappy sentimentality) to make his portrayal of Dhoni totally believable!

Parched is an unconventional drama that acquaints you with the horrible situation of women in rural parts of the country. It is not a regular Bollywood film loaded with drama and entertainment so it might attract only limited audiences. Go for Parched, this weekend only if you have a palate for films of this genre.

On the production front, the animation is basic, yet the animated, computer-generated images of the cats seamlessly merge with the live action drama, which is crisp and entertaining.

Happy Bhag Jayegi is worth a watch for Jimmy Shergill and Abhay Deol. Consider this Diana Penty film this weekend only if you have already watched last week’s releases, Rustom and Mohenjo Daro, and are not keen on Hollywood films such as Ben Hur or Pete’s Dragon.

It was quite apparent from the trailer that Madaari is quite predictable. But one does wait for an interesting twist to the tale. Mercifully, Kamat does try hard to tie the loose end. And he does manage to give a rather interesting climax but what has unfolded before he arrives to that conclusion is neither convincing nor engaging.

If you are still reeling from the awful experience of watching Housefull 3 and want to get some light fun this weekend, then Great Grand Masti must be on your weekend’s To Do list. Director Indra Kumar, as promised has lived up to the film’s title and makes sure that you get entertained till the end.

Shorgul deserves a watch only for the performance of the actors. The plot of the film could have been better and convincing.

Visually, this film does not offer anything novel. The CGI heavy frames with 3D effects, over a period of time, get tedious because most of the action has been seen in recent disaster films.  The set-action sequences too are nothing to write home about. And the alien ‘Queen’ ship though gigantic, is pretty unimpressive.  Overall, “Independence Day: Resurgence” is a huge disappointment.

Raman Raghav 2.0 is strictly meant for Anurag Kashyap fans. The film maker is known to make films that are hatke, and Raman Raghav is no exception to that.
