The theory that all bearded men are terrorists is reinforced in this Sunny Deol thriller…

Total Dhamaal is a one-time watch but only when it airs on TV on a Sunday afternoon when you can’t seem to find the remote to turn it off.

Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma, Katrina Kaif-starrer is a half-baked love story…

If one must watch a fictional account of a natural disaster, we can always turn to Hollywood blockbusters which have done it too well and too often. This just seems like watching an ’80s Hindi movie for an hour-and-a-half and then an ’80s shark movie for another 10 minutes.

Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan’s fantasy tale of retribution suffers due to mediocre execution…

Arjun Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra fail to deliver on their potential…

Debutant director Amar Kaushik establishes the setting elaborately but doesn’t manage to deliver on the writing. A film like this required a steady hand to carefully balance the chills and thrills along with the outlandish one-liners, ensuring neither is watered-down by the other.

…the biggest mystery of all remains, did the person who invested in this excuse for celluloid do so out of free will? We’ll never know.

The film ticks every question it hopes to raise — if every female goes through it, why should it lead to embarrassment or even taint one as ‘apavitra’? But it barely alters the squeamish attitude many hold against the routine discomfort biologically assigned to all womankind. And this is where R Balki slips. It was a noble cause for sure, if only the makers would have soaked up some of the melodrama.

Unlike many Bazmee films, this one’s low on slapstick and heavy on sappy emotion. It’s almost like Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…meets No Entry. And while this blend lends the film substance, being uncharacteristic of the maker’s style makes one feel like a victim of false advertising.
