Manjusha Radhakrishnan's Film Reviews
-
Watch Mirzya if you have a penchant for folk tales, poetry and mysticism. This grand love tragedy requires you to show a willingness to be transported to a land where lovers are skittish and crazy.
-
While Banjo should ideally have been a showcase for Deshmukh to flex his acting muscles in a solo hero project, this film struck all the wrong notes for me.
-
…his transformation into the sexy, gravity-defying saviour that isn’t as compelling. It’s not for the want of trying. Shroff is so earnest that you want to slap him on the back for his efforts. But then you remind yourself that he’s not in a school play, but a part of a Rs400 million project.
-
What could have been an interesting premise and a nick at the seemingly utopian nature of suburban marriages disintegrates into a film that focuses on celebrating the hero, played by Kumar.
-
Mohenjo Daro is no history lesson…Put aside questions about the story and you might enjoy Ashutosh Gowariker’s visual spectacle.
-
While the first half is engaging, the second half is ridden with cliches and corny twists. A sight for the sore eyes was the bromance. As far as buddy-cops go, they are cute together. They have an impish charm about them, but it’s painfully predictable. What holds up Dishoom, filmed extensively in the UAE, are the two A’s: action and Abu Dhabi.
-
Rai Bachchan is making a plea to all to be humane, however some of her voice is drowned as the makers are desperate to make it an edible film for the Bollywood movie fans who like a bit of dance and drama.
-
If you are expecting Hashmi to deliver a captain’s innings here, then you are looking up the wrong film. However, if you are in the mood for a salacious potboiler that buries the real problem then Azhar may work for you.
-
Joshi might be on a quest to explore different kinds of roles, but he comes across as a misfit in this horror film. Barring an interesting twist in the first half, the second half falls into a glorious mess.
-
Shroff does a stand-up job of executing hand-to-hand combat moves, but there’s little else to look forward to. If you are looking for an all brawn and no brains feature, then watch Baaghi. Otherwise, it is wise to duck this missile of a movie.
