Manjusha Radhakrishnan's Film Reviews
-
‘Article 15’ sobers you up instantly, but it also makes you think about Indian’s complicated social segregation based on accident of birth.
It isn’t an easy film to watch. But it would be a disservice if you don’t give this thriller a chance.
-
‘Kabir Singh’ is truly the survival of the despicable. Their collective action — when they break up — is a crash course on self-flagellation.
It’s also a much-needed departure from the usual syrupy Bollywood love stories that showcase grand gestures.
Put a ring on ‘Kabir Sigh’ if you are in the mood for watching a love story that’s wonderfully wicked and warped.
-
It will test your patience…The pulpy Salman Khan epic is overstuffed, painfully dull and meanders on and on
-
If you are a hopeless romantic, you will devour ‘Kalank’, a gloriously messy romantic quadrangle filled with supremely gorgeous players.
But if you are a cynic, you are likely to chew your own hands off from sheer boredom and collective stupidity on display by a bunch of hapless lovers who love to sermonise on complexities of love, forbidden bonds, respect and obligations.
-
While the climax doesn’t knock you off your feet, you will still enjoy the blow-by-blow account of how things escalated to a murder and a cover-up.
In my eyes, that’s a good enough reason to watch a suspense thriller.
-
Be warned, ‘Luka Chuppi’ isn’t a life-altering romantic comedy which sets out to make some grave social comment. It’s a light-hearted film — with a scattered, almost fickle, storyline — bolstered by good performances from a sturdy cast. While you may not put a ring on this one, you can definitely live with it for a couple of hours of your life.
-
In all, Gully Boy is a rhythmic blast with Singh soaring to superlative highs as an actor.
-
While credit has to be given to director Aanand L Rai for normalising disability in a romance, it is best to keep your expectations at zero to enjoy ‘Zero’.
-
‘Kedarnath’ is perfectly stormy and is good for a one-time watch.
-
Painfully predictable…Bollywood star Aamir Khan is in top form as scheming rebel, it’s not enough to keep
