There’s hope for everyone in this world if they are daring enough to search it out themselves. It’s basically a people story presented in animal form with a solid stream of comedy and songs interspersing the narrative –thus allowing for fairly vigorous entertainment!

The Last Jedi is definitely not the end of the road for the Jedi warriors. Johnson in fact brings their future creations into the sub-textual discussion that embraces issues of legitimacy and succession. The franchise’s future appears to be in safe hands – with the baton having passed down from the old trinity – Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill to a newer and more energised lot. Let the force be with them!

The Who’s Who In The Cast Of ‘Murder On The Orient Express’ Don’t Matter Much Because They Have Very Little To Do Other Than Get Paraded/Interrogated As Suspects. So It’s Brannagh Who Hogs The Show From The Word Go. His Role Is Well Rounded

The few drawbacks notwithstanding, this is one of Disney-Pixar’s better efforts of late!

This attempt at raunchy sex comedy has it’s heart in a daring space but along the way appears to have caught on to a fear psychosis that tempers the escapade and makes it well short of enjoyable. So the writing never goes the distance and the truncations thereof almost take on the look of a ritual dismembering.

Neither the story nor the telling has anything to distinguish it from the many sordid unbecoming love stories that spill out from the Bollywood firmament. Faissal Khan is definitely better off living in the shadows of his big brother. Mainstream movies and stardom don’t appear to be his calling. Here’s another one of his vapid outings that we’ll have to delete from our memory banks!

The film has intermittent moments of levity and begins quite well. Unfortunately the attempts to ply humour becomes strained with overdone slap-stick and extreme verbosity. Characters keep cropping up at William’s abode for no rhyme or reason. There’s no justification for the manner in which the screenplay adds characters and motives for those inclined to the reward.

The night-time cinematography is creditable, and the performances are pretty much adequate. Anushka. Neil and Darshan Kumar as the villain dig in well but it’s a feisty Deepti Naval, who makes her all-too-brief cameo a memorable one. In fact her entry point is when the film picks up speed. Otherwise, Navdeep Singh’s film is a mere genre pusher.

The only becoming factor here is TV hottie Barun Sobti’s ability to make the unlikely transformation stick with some nifty acting. But for his resplendent ability to convince and engage, this defeatist enterprise would have sunk without a trace!

‘Zed Plus’ is a highly engaging attempt at socio-political satire with humour laden benefits all along the route. The script has its sublime moments. Unfortunately the plotting is not altogether believable.
