Manisha Lakhe's Film Reviews
-
Golmaal Again becomes funny in the second half and some ghostly goings-on make you laugh. But overall it’s loud and lurid and you come away with a headache.
-
How a little girl with big dreams becomes a burka-wearing YouTube sensation is the story of the film. But the cliches drown what could be fun and frothy into sentimental molasses.
-
A remake of Jon Favreau’s film by the same name, this film is more of a kitchen disaster than a chef’s signature dish. Unappetising!
-
Judwaa 2 is louder and bigger and bolder and Varun Dhawan may not be Salman Khan, but he holds his own, both as Prem and Raja. Fun watch for the younger generation.
-
It’s brave of a really young actor Shraddha Kapoor to want to play Marlon Brando in The Godfather. And full marks for effort. But Haseena Parkar is a poorly researched film, which just makes you laugh at the end of it all.
-
This version of avenge-your-daughter’s-rape film is so gory and violent, you wonder if they’re all living in some time warp. Who makes such films? And why should we watch such blood and gore?
-
The story of great escape of five prisoners from Lucknow Central jail is a decent watch because of the supporting cast.
-
Based loosely on the story of the Bombshell Bandit – Punjabi girl Sandeep Kaur, Simran could either be a great comic caper or a tragic story of greed gone wrong. It’s neither.
-
A remake of the Marathi film with the same name (it’s ‘Poshter Boys’), this comedy of errors gets really funny in places, and sags in others. It makes for a one-time watch.
-
A remake of the very successful Tamil film Kalyana Samayal Saadham, this Bollywood film is a one trick pony that is carried for two hours by a fine ensemble of supporting cast and some funny writing.
