Kis Kisko Pyaar Karu
2015 · Jagran · Sep 2015
The film, however, does make you laugh out loud in parts — at some points, because it is genuinely funny, but mostly in sheer exasperation at the absurdity of it all.
We Are Your Friends
2015 · Jagran · Sep 2015
While the bass pulsates with electric fervor the dramatics just fizzles into a lot of confusion. Character dynamics are unremarkable while performances just don't have the bite to get you involved. And the Bro-coterie angle( Cole's friends who tag along) is quite tiresome to say the least. Wes Bentley and Emily Ratajkowski make their presence felt, though!
Welcome Back
2015 · Jagran · Sep 2015
Overall, it's a fun watch which will keep you snorting and giggling even after you exit the theatre.
Kaun Kitne Paani Mein
2015 · Jagran · Aug 2015
A subject of this kind could have easily fallen into the danger of appearing dry and boring, but thanks to a good sprinkling of humour, a screenplay full of life (by Deepak Venkateshan) and some decent performances, this one is definitely watchable. Shukla deserves a special mention for his crackling and memorable performance as a decadent but desperate 'Kshatriya' who has fallen on bad times.
Fantastic Four
2015 · Jagran · Aug 2015
Ultimately there's no fun to be had in 'Fantastic Four', nor is it bad enough to be entertaining or unintentionally hilarious. It's a tedious, laborious watch and a scathing indictment of worst side of superhero filmmaking that has exploding in Hollywood. If anything, the big guys Warner and Marvel can watch this movie and learn what not to do.
Gour Hari Dastaan
2015 · Jagran · Aug 2015
A biopic needs to be engaging, but in 'Gour Hari Dastaan', more attention seems to have been paid to the dialogues than the storytelling. It hardly evokes emotions in you and make you feel for the trials and tribulations of the man struggling for his due. Go for it if you want to soak in the Independence Day spirit.
I Am Kalam
2011 · Jagran · Jul 2015
With a child protagonist, 'I Am Kalam' gives an important message particularly to the adult audience on how every child has a basic right to education and live his dream.
Masaan
2015 · Jagran · Jul 2015
A gutsy debut by Ghaywan, who dives deep into the subject in hand and comes up with a little gem. Sensitive writing by Varun Grover makes it more valuable.
Welcome to Karachi
2015 · Jagran · Jun 2015
...a half funny, half not so funny adventure of the two bumbling idiots, who are by now desperate to get back to this side of the border. What stands out in this film is the fairly intelligent writing, which includes a few uproariously funny dialogues, and which belies the writer's (Vrijesh Hirjee) fair understanding of the current political scenario.
Piku
2015 · Jagran · May 2015
Do watch this one, more so, if you are a Bengali. I bet you won't stop smiling for most of the two plus hour duration.
Gabbar is Back
2015 · Jagran · May 2015
The only saving grace of this film is Akshay Kumar, who not only looks dishy with a beard, but does try giving a convincing performance in this not at all convincing film. But then he should have chosen better.
Avengers: Age of Ultron
2015 · Jagran · Apr 2015
For the average Joe, 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' is exactly what he needs – a bombastic helping of action, mayhem, prancing superheroes, flashy one liners, and even a romantic track to boot.
Margarita, with a Straw
2015 · Jagran · Apr 2015
The star cast is pretty good. A special mention has to be made of the ever dependable Revathi, who yet again delivers a convincing act. But of course, it is Kalki who takes your breath away with a superlative performance. Undoubtedly with one of her finest performances in recent years, Kalki lives and breathes Laila with such amazing ease and conviction that she stays in your head for a long time after you have left the theatre.
Mr. X
2015 · Jagran · Apr 2015
Bhatt's recent outings have been in the genre of supernatural and 3D horror. This time, in his tech endeavour to create an invisible man, he appears to have overlooked the storyline. Wish he had paid attention to other details as well.
Detective Byomkesh Bakshy
2015 · Jagran · Apr 2015
Don't miss it. Even if just to go back to the magical world of nostalgia created so beautifully and earnestly by Banerjee and cinematographer Nikos Andritsakis.
NH10
2015 · Jagran · Mar 2015
If one has to point out drawbacks, some of the twists in the story seem too convenient and the second half dips a wee bit in energy as compared to the first half. But overall, the choice of locations, the performances and the brutally honest take on a story that needed to be told, makes this film a hell of a scary ride but absolutely worth it. Don't miss it.
Dum Laga Ke Haisha
2015 · Jagran · Mar 2015
'Dum Lagaa Ke Haisha' steadily grows on you and warms the cockles of your heart even before you realise it. By the end of it, you might just want to go and hug the people in your life who you otherwise take for granted.
Ab Tak Chhappan 2
2015 · Jagran · Mar 2015
This might be a director's attempt at making it all look artistic and 'hatke', but what it ends up doing is showing us sights like the not-so-pretty thighs of a dhoti wearing politician. among other unmentionable things. Avoid. If feeling nostalgic, watch the original again.
Badlapur
2015 · Jagran · Feb 2015
What you mainly take away from this movie is its core; a story (written by Sriram Raghavan) that tells us that most often the situation is the villain. And, perhaps, each of us is capable of turning a criminal when faced with an extreme situation.
Shamitabh
2015 · Jagran · Feb 2015
R Balki has presented the story in a very unconventional way. As the film is set up at the backdrop of film industry, the presence of celebs like Rekha, Anurag Basu, Karan Johar, Raj Kumar Hirani, Mahesh Bhatt, Gauri Shinde and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra gave the film a magnificent look.
Baby
2015 · Jagran · Jan 2015
Helming, navigating and controlling this bridled exposition on anarchy is Akshay Kumar with his career's best performance. His interpretation of an unsung hero's stubborn determination to rescue the world from chaos, is mature and restrained, even when pitched against veteran actors with a formidable history of one-upmanship.
Alone
2015 · Jagran · Jan 2015
'Alone' is one of the finest and slickest horror films ever shot in India. It will help get the genre the credibility it deserves. Bipasha claims that the film is very scary and no one should go alone to watch it.
Ugly
2014 · Jagran · 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 · Jagran · Dec 2014
Rajkumar Hirani has succeeded in giving social message and dealing with the critical issue of religion with such innocence and humour. The blend of humour, drama and emotions has worked well for the 'PK', making it the most successful film of the year.
Ungli
2014 · Jagran · Nov 2014
The film has social relevance, it raises the prominent problem of corruption, where the common man is not able to raise his voice against corrupt powers and suffers the injustice. The film somehow is successful in delivering the message of fighting for the injustice done to common man.
Happy Ending
2014 · Jagran · Nov 2014
Despite being a bona fide romantic comedy, the film goes beyond it. The movie is a mix of humour, a double fun dose of Govinda and Saif. While Govinda enthrals the audience by delivering funny dialogues with a dead pan face, Saif Ali Khan creates humour with his usual quirkiness.
Kill Dil
2014 · Jagran · Nov 2014
KILL/DIL is a masala film which will bring back memories of cinema of 90s. Foreseeable but worth a watch.
The Shaukeens
2014 · Jagran · Nov 2014
Cameos by Abhishek Bachchan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Dimple Kapadia, Suniel Shetty are few other highlights of the film. The camaraderie between the 3 seasoned actors makes the film a must watch!
Super Nani
2014 · Jagran · Oct 2014
The film is made with lot of heart and emotions. The movie's biggest weakness is its predictability and over melodrama. Anupam Kher tickles funny bone as a filmmaker. Randhir Kapoor as Rekha's on screen husband has few good scenes. Debutant Shweta Kumar is good. Watch this film if you are a fan of Rekha or Sharman Joshi.
Happy New Year
2014 · Jagran · Oct 2014
The film is stupendous', 'whopper blockbuster' and 'Full on dhamaka'. Shah Rukh Khan who plays Charlie, a street fighter in the film can be seen throwing punches and performing aerial flips in the movie.
Sonali Cable
2014 · Jagran · Oct 2014
Passion, righteousness and friendship form the soul of 'Sonali Cable'. The film is an entertaining drama about a local cable internet service provider.
Tamanchey
2014 · Jagran · Oct 2014
Wild and wacky 'Tamanchey' is an enjoyable roller coaster ride about two mismatched criminals on the run who fall hopelessly in love.
Ekkees Toppon Ki Salaami
2014 · Jagran · Oct 2014
The film has a message told in an entertaining and satirical manner. It is a film about the confrontation between a father and son, the kind that we see in our day-to-day life. It is not a preachy film, it is a commercial film with its message wrapped in the garb of entertainment.
Bang Bang!
2014 · Jagran · Oct 2014
Bang Bang drives the audience crazy and certainly gives goosebumps. Hrithik is also seen grooving a la his dance idol, the late King of Pop Michael Jackson, while Katrina tries to give him tough competition with her sizzling moves.
Haider
2014 · Jagran · Oct 2014
Helmed by the brilliant story teller Vishal Bharadwaj, 'Haider' comes with an unforgettable climax.
Desi Kattey
2014 · Jagran · Sep 2014
If you like stories about boys on a rampage, this one will make your heart swell with manly pride.
3AM
2014 · Jagran · Sep 2014
'3 AM' has nothing new to offer. Although the film has some good songs to its credits. Rannvijay is back to doing what he does best – Rocking a reality show, but this time, a faux one that explores the country's most haunted places.
Khoobsurat
2014 · Jagran · Sep 2014
If you wish to watch a light hearted time pass film, then this one would not be a bad choice.
Daawat-e-Ishq
2014 · Jagran · Sep 2014
Daawat-e-Ishq with its fragrance will take you to seventies; however the spirit of the movie is youthful and contemporary. Garnished with Aditya and Parineeti's impressive performance the movie can be summed up as a dish made up using an old recipe with a modern fusion.
Creature
2014 · Jagran · Sep 2014
Creature 3D shows efforts of our Indian indigenous technicians but unfortunately don't possess the flair, which such flicks require.
Finding Fanny
2014 · Jagran · Sep 2014
While typical Bollywood 'masala' films are trying to chase the 100 crore club, this off-beat movie Finding Fanny makes an attempt to highlight human emotions in a much more realistic and philosophical manner. Although some of the jokes and sharp dialogues were lost in translation and that's a tragedy, but don't stop yourself from watching Finding Fanny. You will surely feel like a breath of fresh air.
Mary Kom
2014 · Jagran · Sep 2014
"Mary Kom" is a motivational masterpiece. From first frame to last it grips your senses and irrigates the parched corridors of your heart like very few biopics in recent times. Kumar weaves seamlessly in and out of Mary's remarkable life creating a work that is as dramatic as Mehboob Khan's "Mother India" and as inspiring as Richard Attenborough's "Gandhi".
Raja Natwarlal
2014 · Jagran · Aug 2014
Serial Kisser Emraan Hashmi's films may not do well at the Box Office every time but the songs of his films are always super hit. However, the songs of Raja Natwarlal have fared averagely amongst the audiences but dialogues are strong and funny. So here we can conclude that the film is entertaining and can be seen atleast once.
Mad About Dance
2014 · Jagran · Aug 2014
Helmed by Saahil Prem 'Mad About Dance' is a new bottle with an old cap, as we are familiar with stories of the protagonists striving to win a championship on global platform and managing to win.
Mardaani
2014 · Jagran · Aug 2014
Rani Mukerji gives the Singhams and Dabanggs a tough competition as she cracks the whip in this Pradeep Sarkar film that entertains in a 'filmi' way. If you are a Rani Mukerji's fan, then you cannot miss out this one.
Singham Returns
2014 · Jagran · Aug 2014
Rohit Shetty's cleverest moment comes when his hero after having witnessed the most expensive SUVs turn to ashes, has a humble, kind of apologetic tiny personal car, thus subtly highlighting his clean conscience. The rest of the film is not so subtle.
Entertainment
2014 · Jagran · Aug 2014
It is full of humour and a fun oriented film. The movie can be a refreshing change for the audience. Krushna Abhishek, who is performing as a friend of Akshay, has done justice to his part. His dialogues are super hilarious and funny.
Kick
2014 · Jagran · Jul 2014
It's a Salman Khan film. Along with the regular Salman factor, 'Kick' has almost all the quintessential pack of masala punches and interesting amalgamation of action, drama, romance, comedy that it becomes a must watch, especially for Dabangg Khan's fans.
Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania
2014 · Jagran · Jul 2014
The movie goers may find the ending weird but Varun-Alia's chemistry would nullify the minor glitches in the flick. Watch 'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya' for wonderful performances, smart screenplay and just a good love story.
Lekar Hum Deewana Dil
2014 · Jagran · Jul 2014
The film proceeds at a very slow pace and fails to entertain the audience. There are unnecessary twists and turns that make the audience wonder where the plot is going. The director probably tried to play safe with the old idea of a young couple eloping in love but failed to create on-screen chemistry.
Bobby Jasoos
2014 · Jagran · Jul 2014
Though the film belongs to Vidya, Ali makes his own space with pride, confidence and his acting skills. There are no item numbers, cheap thrills and the usual trappings of a wannabe blockbuster. It just has Vidya and that should be the reason enough for cine-buffs to go and watch the film.
Ek Villain
2014 · Jagran · Jun 2014
Mohit Suri has continued the spark of 'Aashiqui 2' in the romantic thriller 'Ek Villain'. In her role of a vivacious girl, Shraddha has once again kept her girl-next-door image of 'Aashiqui 2'. Sidharth, who had a lover-boy image in his earlier films 'Student of the Year' and 'Hasee Toh Phasee', is commendable in his new avatar of a grungy, dark and intense man.
Humshakals
2014 · Jagran · Jun 2014
If you want to test your patience then there cannot be a bigger examination than this two and half hour of mindless comedy, (read 'tragedy').
Samrat & Co.
2014 · Jagran · Apr 2014
The climax of the story has many missing links, which may disappoint the movie goers. Year's first detective film 'Samrat and Co.' is a half-baked attempt!
Revolver Rani
2014 · Jagran · Apr 2014
Revolver Rani is a very authentic satire, littered with dead bodies, love and humour. The film's plot keeps the audience engaged. The film proves to be a must watch for Kangana's exceptional performance as a rebellious political goon.
2 States
2014 · Jagran · Apr 2014
Those, who have read Chetan Bhagat's '2 States', may not find much in the movie but the director deserves a big applause for depicting the story in a fresh manner which will keep the audience stick by their seats for sure. Varman has smartly used flash back for narrating the movie which gives it an edge.
Main Tera Hero
2014 · Jagran · Apr 2014
If you try to find something new in this movie, don't waste your time as it is a typical David Dhawan style film. Like every Dhawan movie, Main Tera Hero is also a comedy one. Most of the scenes of this movie are reminiscent of previous Dhawan flicks despite new actors.
Youngistaan
2014 · Jagran · Mar 2014
Without an iota of doubt, the movie is quite fresh and new. The director has a firm believe on his concept and has received good success in maintaining the interest of the viewers till the end.
O Teri
2014 · Jagran · Mar 2014
If you judge the film critically, it may have some flaws. But none the less 'O Teri' is a 'paisa wasool' entertainer.
Gang of Ghosts
2014 · Jagran · Mar 2014
he movie is bit on the unusual side, so if you are bored of serious and traditional movies and willing to cater your taste buds with something new this movie might offer you a different platter. Satish Kaushik is known for his comic sense hence has done a decent job. Sharman Joshi has done a good job. Meera Chopra has raised the bar of expectations with her performance.
Ragini MMS 2
2014 · Jagran · Mar 2014
It seems that director Bhushan Patel had not much to say throughout the shoot except saying 'cut' on time. If the plot of the story is so exciting and Balaji honcho Ekta Kapoor is the producer, it would be better if you take a final call on whether to watch this flick or not because it all depends on your choice and preference.
Lakshmi
2014 · Jagran · Mar 2014
The strong story plot moves one so much, that minor flaws remain unnoticed. There are few scenes in the film which might shake you to the core and you start relate yourself to Lakshmi's pain. The dialogues of film may make you feel uncomfortable in certain situation. But when it comes to conveying the underlying message, there is no better way.
Bewakoofiyaan
2014 · Jagran · Mar 2014
Ayushmann Khurrana who surprised audience with his exceptionally good performance in Vicky Donor, utterly disappoints us in this movie. Like her earlier films Sonam gives a flat performance. Sonam who hogged limelight with her bikini scene in this film, has not done justice with her character at all. Even veteran actor like Rishi Kapoor fails to impress upon audiences with his funny antics. No major releases and long weekend may work in favour of Bewakoofiyaan.
Shaadi Ke Side Effects
2014 · Jagran · Feb 2014
Shaadi Ke Side Effects is so humorous and real that you will relate to the plot very easily. And if you are not married, it may appear that this is something you will experience post marriage. Director Saket Chaudhary handles the situations of a married life with great finesse. He connects the sequel to its prequel in a very smooth way.
Highway
2014 · Jagran · Feb 2014
Highway will not give you an adrenaline rush but a serene feeling that stays with you long after the film is over. This movie would be a good option to enjoy this weekend with your family and friends.
Gunday
2014 · Jagran · Feb 2014
The film, which has been directed Ali Abbas Zafar, has a strong hold on the story line and keeps the audiences glued on their seats till the end. This film is definitely an entertainer and a must-watch, which will not bore you.
Hasee Toh Phasee
2014 · Jagran · Feb 2014
Hasee Toh Phasee is indeed a fun movie but sometimes the unwanted twists in the middle of the movie restrict the flow of the storyline. Parineeti steals the show yet again.
One By Two
2014 · Jagran · Jan 2014
Though it seems that the story line of the film is bit complicated, the characterization of every protagonist is perfect. The characters of the film are well-suited and realistic.
Jai Ho
2014 · Jagran · Jan 2014
If you are a connoisseur of serious classic movies, 'Jai Ho' may not be your cup of tea as it is loaded with the special touch of Salman Khan. Though' Jai Ho' doesn't have anything unique, it relates very well with the current social scenario of India.
Miss Lovely
2014 · Jagran · Jan 2014
Whatever the flaws may be, the power-packed performance of the actors, especially, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has made the film a worth watch.
Dedh Ishqiya
2014 · Jagran · Jan 2014
If you want to have fun this weekend, Dedh Ishqiya would be the ultimate choice. When it comes to acting, Dedh Ishqiya is endowed with some great performances. Like Ishqiya, Naseeruddin Shah as Khalujaan and Arshad Warsi as Babban, again getting into the skin of their characters and showing some extra ordinary performances. Credit must be given to Abhishek Chaubey's direction, good story and strong narration.
Yaariyan
2014 · Jagran · Jan 2014
Being a small budget movie, the movie features new faces. Though it doesn't have big star cast or lavish locations, Yaariyan has a fresh story. The story takes few twists and turns that are too filmy to believe. Whatever the flaws the move has, it gives a very fresh feeling.
Sholay 3D
2014 · Jagran · Jan 2014
Their endeavour of pouring an old wine in a new bottle really deserves kudos. Though the content of the film is the same, the newness in its presentation makes it a good watch.
