Manisha Lakhe's Film Reviews
-
Babumoshai Bandookbaaz has a fine story, but is executed with so much sleaze that you just come away wondering why a fine actor like Nawazuddin Siddiqui needs to stoop so low.
-
Director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari beautifully captures the small town flavour in Bareilly Ki Barfi but the problem with this film, is that the hero fails to endear us to him. We have no logical reason to want to root for him.
-
Toilet – Ek Premium Katha is a propaganda film, which attempts to tackle a serious issue of hygiene and open defecation but fails to make an impact.
-
The plot of Jab Harry Met Sejal is just like the ring, the protagonists are searching for – lost. And not even Shah Rukh Khan can save this pointless jaunt through Europe.
-
Set during the emergency, a dark period in recent Indian politics, this is the story of an orphan who has a speech impediment. The film wanders directionless, starting out as a propaganda film showing the Congress as evil, then not knowing where to take the rebellion. Pointless exercise.
-
Munna Michael is all fun and dance but falls into the predictable zone. Tiger Shroff is getting better with every film, but he does not need a dramatic pause in that one signature dialogue he gets to say in every movie.
-
Guest Iin London is supposed to be a comedy, but laden with offensive jokes, Paresh Rawal’s farts and poorly scripted characters, the film is painful to watch.
-
MOM is a terribly long-drawn out film and even though horrendously cliched and predictable, but worth a watch for Sridevi, who is simply stupendous.
-
Salman Khan magic fails in this flat, linear remake of the 2015 Hollywood film Little Boy.
-
If the one line of premise had not been stretched so long and stayed focussed on comedy, this film could have been a hoot. But unfortunately it isn’t.
