Mission Mangal
2019 · IndiaTvNews · Aug 2019
Seriously a 'dramatic representation' of India's Mangalyaan...Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan starrer Mission Mangal tells an untold story, however, it holds attention intermittently.
Judgementall Hai Kya
2019 · IndiaTvNews · Jul 2019
Watch it for its uniqueness, and the edge-of-seat thrill. Also, here is Kangana in her most weird avatar till date.
Super 30
2019 · IndiaTvNews · Jul 2019
Pankaj Tripathi, like always didn't fail to impress with his stellar command on his acting skills. The actor plays the role of a education minister who runs a flourishing coaching business in the film. Mrunal Thakur, who played the love interest of Hrithik Roshan in the film, looked gorgeous and also delivered a great performance. However, she didn't have much to do in the film.
Bharat
2019 · IndiaTvNews · Jun 2019
Salman Khan's inexhaustible swag and Ali Abbas Zafar's direction make for a perfect Eid gift...
PM Narendra Modi
2019 · IndiaTvNews · May 2019
PM Narendra Modi manages to hit the right chord among all the fans of PM Modi and also highlights the true aura behind the most powerful leader of our country.
Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi
2019 · IndiaTvNews · Jan 2019
Honestly, you aren't missing out on something big this weekend. This rousing war-drama is definitely a one-time watch. Don't miss it if you are a true Kangana Ranaut fan.
Uri: The Surgical Strike
2019 · IndiaTvNews · Jan 2019
Produced by Ronnie Secrewvala, this war-drama flings acceptable reasons to watch it -from star performances to the action sequences. A few people in the bunch of movie-goers will give a thumbs up to the film for its honest making!
Zero
2018 · IndiaTvNews · Dec 2018
The second half might let you down a bit, despite good performances by the cast. Initially it was an enjoyable ride, but after Bauua decides to go on space exploration, it slows down the momentum. We love Aanand L Rai's world and would have warmly accepted more of his imperfect and endearing small-town characters. Also, the story could have been left open-ended.
Thugs of Hindostan
2018 · IndiaTvNews · Nov 2018
Last year, Aamir Khan gave us such a wonderful Diwali gift with Secret Superstar, which was a soul-warming story of a mother-daughter duo. However, we cannot say such about Thugs of Hindostan. It was definitely not the Diwali hamper we were looking forward to.
Sanju
2018 · IndiaTvNews · Jun 2018
Though second half gets a tad slow, Hirani holds your interest firmly with an equal dose of humour, emotions and a bit of suspense. After a long time, we have a film with good songs which you can hum even after coming out of the theatre. Sanju is definitely worth your time.
Raid
2018 · IndiaTvNews · Mar 2018
Ajay Devgn's compelling act and Saurabh Shukla's performance make this an unalloyed delight...
Baahubali 2: The Conclusion
2017 · IndiaTvNews · Apr 2017
The beautiful elements of the film overshadow its few loopholes. Baahubali 2 is a cinematic gem and will not disappoint you at all. The movie is definitely better than the first part in all terms.
M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story
2016 · IndiaTvNews · Sep 2016
This biopic is far from inspirational. Nevertheless, it reveals the trials and tribulations of the unassuming Indian Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni who rose meteorically, only on the basis of his merit.
Ghayal Once Again
2016 · IndiaTvNews · Feb 2016
...is strictly for the hard-core fans of Sunny Deol as the fans of the original instalment are bound to get disappointed. Looking like a 90s affair, the film can be given a miss.
Chalk N Duster
2016 · IndiaTvNews · Jan 2016
While the treatment is overdramatic and exaggerated, comparing tradition with modernity, the messages hit the right nerve.
Bajirao Mastani
2015 · IndiaTvNews · Dec 2015
Bajirao Mastani may not be a perfect movie but still has the potential to provide viewers a mesmerizing view into what could possibly be Sanjay Leela Bhansali's creative best.
Calendar Girls
2015 · IndiaTvNews · Sep 2015
Every scene seems to have a distinctive Madhur Bhandarkar influence which, over repetitive representations, seem lacklustre and jaded with oft seen, stereotypical characterizations. This pales the viewing experience, this time over.
Bangistan
2015 · IndiaTvNews · Aug 2015
Karan Anshuman biggest failing lies in the climax when Bangistan deliberately turns preachy. The movie in itself was a message, you don't have to give sermons to educate the audience.
ABCD 2
2015 · IndiaTvNews · Jun 2015
Varun-Shraddha proudly takes India to world...it is needless to say that this flick deserves a watch. It doesn't matter you are a dancer or not, you would be moved by this Remo D' Souza presentation.
Dil Dhadakne Do
2015 · IndiaTvNews · Jun 2015
Family drama is given a new dimension here with Zoya Akhtar laying out perfect solutions to a messed-up family. It's her sheer unmatched quality that this two-flick old director possesses, while dealing with the subjects of relationship. She doesn't coerce the judgement over what really the key should be for lucrative living but simply chalks out the modern dots in a breezy manner.
Tanu Weds Manu: Returns
2015 · IndiaTvNews · May 2015
The movie has every reason to draw and hold your attention. With a few minor flaws that could have been avoidable, Tanu Weds Manu Returns is a compelling watch. Above all, it's Kangana Ranaut who steals the show yet again.
Tomorrowland
2015 · IndiaTvNews · May 2015
Unlike other films that speak about dystopian societies, 'Tomorrowland' has a very positive and optimistic approach. Visually, the film is bright and cheerful thanks to cinematographer Claudio Miranda's brilliant camera work, production designer Scott Chambliss's fine production output and music composer Michael Giacchino's elevating background score.
Bombay Velvet
2015 · IndiaTvNews · May 2015
Depsite these few flaws, Bombay Velvet can be watched for Ranbir-Anushka's sizzling chemistry amidst drastically transforming Bombay into Mumbai. Also be ready for Karan Johar's surprise act.
Gabbar is Back
2015 · IndiaTvNews · Apr 2015
Despite everything, the film survives to tell-a-tale that is relevant today. 'Gabbar Is Back' knocks the bottom off the action genre with a breathless ode to Swachh Bharat. The film may appear louder-than-life instead of larger-than-life but the tone is unapologetic massy. You can't change the disintegrating social order by being delicate towards it. Akshay Kumar amazingly, through his bearded, brooding leadership, explains that.
NH10
2015 · IndiaTvNews · Mar 2015
There is an urgent need for men to get involved in bringing an end to the violence against women and criticize it loud and clear every time it takes place until it ends in the end. Watch it as it speaks against everything that is wrong in our nation.
Dum Laga Ke Haisha
2015 · IndiaTvNews · Feb 2015
...a conventional love story set in Haridwar, which has equal measures of fun, romance and ultimately entertainment.
Badlapur
2015 · IndiaTvNews · Feb 2015
Badlapur is a psychological roller coaster. It's a brilliant cinema that would change the meaning revenge thrillers.
Khamoshiyan
2015 · IndiaTvNews · Jan 2015
On the whole, Khamoshiyan is an engrossing fare that meets the expectations.
Alone
2015 · IndiaTvNews · Jan 2015
With some genuine scary moments and Bipasha-Karan's scorching chemistry, Alone stands apart from numerous horrible horror flicks made in the past.
Tevar
2015 · IndiaTvNews · Jan 2015
All in all Tevar is a well executed masala flick minus any Bollwood's cliché elements. This over 140-minutes drama won't disappoint you.
Ugly
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Dec 2014
Ugly" is a beautiful portrayal of the squalidity that swamps the human soul. The characters are ruthless, dark, desperate and dangerous, more to themselves than others. This is a thriller which leaves us with a sense of utter futility about the quality of life that we lead.
PK
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Dec 2014
Now while its storyline is fascinating, PK has ample surprises which unfold layer by layer remarkably. But one thing, which needs to be made clear is that PK is not a out an out comedy-caper as its trailer and songs have hinted towards yet carrying the same thought-process while stepping into the theatres won't disappoint you. While there is a serious subject Rajkumar Hirani is dealing with and his ways of presenting the entire issue turns out to be humorous.
Lingaa
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Dec 2014
...being a revenge saga, the movie could have been more intense and gripping. The movie lacks the provocative element that could entice us to join the big man seeking retribution. Moreover, the action scenes could have been refined as watching Rajinikanth doing similar sort of stunts is at times tedious.
Zed Plus
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Nov 2014
Cleverly written screenplay, brilliant dialogues and wise performance, Zed Plus rolls in all into a good film, which despite being different from reality is relevant to the political and social system of the country.
Happy Ending
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Nov 2014
Happy Ending not entirely hit bang on this new developed saying but definitely takes a dig on movies, which are deemed to be non-sensible just to satisfy the 'entertainment' lust of the audience who doesn't bother to put much brains to find logics. A light-hearted yet a satirical take are what director duo of Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K. keep in their mind before they begin with Happy Ending and yes they succeed in giving us an end product.
Kill Dil
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Nov 2014
Now, don't be fooled by its deja-vu premise. Kill Dil has innovation with its altered screenplay and execution. Yes, the logics take a back seat here but not to an extent that spoils the flow. The director mostly uses the dialogues and his character, the blend of which helps in making this movie entertaining.
The Shaukeens
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Nov 2014
The fantasy for beautiful ladies never fades it doesn't matter how old one man grows. The Shaukeens displays the unending fantasy of the male fraternity in a light-hearted manner which is self-deprecating.
Super Nani
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Oct 2014
Indra Kumar's 'Super Nani' is made with lot of heart and emotions but despite its strong subject it hardly touches our soul. The movie's biggest weakness is its predictability and over melodrama which worked two decades back when family drama movies were most served in Bollywood.
Happy New Year
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Oct 2014
Despite its three hours long drama, the movie rarely bores you with these two romancing while Abhishek, Boman, Sonu and Vivaan giving an impeccable contribution in fun. The action sequences have been worked upon and once set it is deemed to give you goosebumps. Performances of all creates a massive impact . As said before Shah Rukh Khan's screen presence is a major relief for us.
Sonali Cable
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Oct 2014
Sonali Cable promises a lot but, couldn't quite stand to it. Debutant director Charudutt Acharya who last wrote the screenplay and dialogues of Ayushmann Khuranna starrer 'Nautanki Saala' doesn't completely loses its way but in the end it doesn't quite satisfy us.
Beyond All Boundaries
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Oct 2014
Overall, with editor Soham Mehta's smooth transitions and effective background score by Daniel Walter and Christopher Carmichael, this well-etched documentary is entertaining, but lacks historical value or essence.
Tamanchey
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Oct 2014
The movie just works for our lead couple performances, who try to hard to conceal the badly sketched story line.
Bang Bang!
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Oct 2014
Bang Bang justifies the humongous buzz created in these days. Go for it as Hrithik and Katrina are in there to amuse you throughout.
Haider
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Oct 2014
Haider is a classic creation minus Bollywood's cliché elements. It needs patience and your devotion.
Desi Kattey
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Sep 2014
The first half is sufficiently loaded with desi guns and their 'thaae thaae' which gives you more headache than any logical stance. Unfortunately, it is carried forward in the second half minus any sense but plus some over the top emotional drama.
Khoobsurat
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Sep 2014
...despite its predictable narration is a joy to watch.
Daawat-e-Ishq
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Sep 2014
...whatever Habib has in his junket is surely to be tried once. He may have missed out on appropriate amount of spices or may have just scalded couple of the recipes but he manages to keep us engaged in his carnival 'Daawat-e-Ishq'.
Mary Kom
2014 · IndiaTvNews · Sep 2014
Mary Kom is just the kind of tribute fans would have wished to give to the Olympic medalist. It's a sure shot winner.
