If you’ve read about the real events that have inspired this film, you know how it will fold up. But even so, this one scores for managing to pack in a few surprises.

Deadpool works for the same reason Comedy Central Roast does: it takes a dig at itself and heartily laughs at the cliches and idiosyncrasies associated with the genre.

While Ghayal was a path-breaking revenge story that won seven Filmfare Awards, this sequel won’t manage as much traction. But if you’re a Sunny Deol fanboy, this one ticks all: lung-tearing screams and crushing punches.

The film extends a historical perspective to intolerance in India. Although a casual reference, it makes the audience reflect on how “mazhab ki bediya” continue to divide us centuries later.

AIG’s selling point is the honesty with which the leading women approach their characters and the uncontainable chutzpah they exude.

If you’re a Bond fanboy, you wouldn’t care for a verdict. But even if you’re not, this one is a must-watch.

Titli seems to be made with the single-minded objective of leaving audiences with an unsettling feeling-A constant discomfort that can’t be shrugged off, like a nasty itch at an unreachable part of your back. If this is what you seek from cinema, book your tickets now.

The top reason for the success of the first part was that it picked on rarely-discussed yet universally prevalent sufferings of committed men. The tacky yet hummable number “Ban Gaya Kutta” (used in this film as a background number) even poked fun at their domesticated state. This film goes to say, that while every dog has his lay, the eternal sufferings that come along, are here to stay.

One believes that the laws that govern our land are competent if not entirely snag-free. But Meghana Gulazar’s Talvar subliminally suggests that while the system provides a framework for doling out justice, its construct can sometimes be a contraint. As a dialogue in the film explains, “Gathering information in an investigation is often called a legal act carried out illegally. The trick is to find a balance between what is legally right and what you, as an individual, feel is right.”

A 124-minute film about a man trying to pull down a mountain could be like staring at a construction site while stuck in a traffic jam. But this one weaves in enough entertainment and thrill to be a lot more than that.
