Anil Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur try to bear the burden in Mohit Suri’s Malang. It is only towards the end that the story gets intriguing, but it is too late by then.

The writing isn’t sharp either. It tries to address important issues in the garb of comedy, but the jokes just aren’t funny enough. “Tera dil nahi dildo hai,” “Iss ghar mein main aur mera swag rehte hai” – come on, it takes more to make us laugh.

Apart from these few glitches Jawaani Jaaneman makes for a decent one-time watch. Saif’s fans, it’s a must for you guys though.

…an exaggerated and slow-paced ode to the great Maratha warrior. Saif Ali Khan plays the role of Rajput Mughal fortkeeper Udaybhan Singh Rathod in the Om Raut directorial film.

Some films are experiences, and therefore, shouldn’t be restricted with star ratings, or discussions about the film’s merit. A Salman Khan film, in this context, is a rollercoaster ride. You buy a ticket, stand in line, take your seat, buckle yourself up, and pray to the almighty that you don’t puke on thy neighbour.

Ashutosh Gowariker may not be able to do grandeur like Sanjay Leela Bhansali, but he can do war. Yet, a lacklustre cinematography and terrible CGI mars this solid attempt. It would have worked 10 years ago.

War is a crowd-puller, but it isn’t meant to further the cause of cinema. It will entertain you. But if you plan to take something away from a film, watch Joker instead.

The Zoya Factor is disappointing, as there was a lot more that could have been done with it. It could have been more entertaining and crisp, or even a wholesome romantic comedy. In the end, it just feels like a lot of watery Maggi without masala.

Chhichhore is a one-time watch and is for those who are are still hung up on their college life. But it is no 3 Idiots. You might want to call your college buddies after the film.

Saaho had promise. It had the cast. That’s the disappointing part. Yet, the makers got so carried away with crafting action scenes and Prabhas’s starry presence that they forgot about the story and character development midway.

The ending of Saaho hints at a sequel. If that’s the case, please pray that it is better written and more cohesive. How will we saaho that otherwise? Apologies for the bad joke but that’s all you’re left with at the end of the film.

The protagonist, as we always know, is never in any real danger of losing either his job or credibility because the film clearly establishes the sequence of events early on. The Rashomon Effect, contradictory interpretations of a single event, is only introduced towards the end. By then, the film’s conclusion is like most other police encounters. Fairly predictable.
