Manjusha Radhakrishnan's Film Reviews

While it’s not easy to pull in viewers with a storyline that involves an invisible man, Hashmi doesn’t get much support from anyone. Just like his struggle to bring down evil men, he’s alone in his fight to make Mr X a watchable film. Go for this if you are a Hashmi fan. All others can give this one a miss.
-
Dirty Politics stinks of lazy writing and stock characters. Despite a clutch of talented veteran actors, the political drama isn’t elevated to a film that reveals the dark side of human nature or the steaminess in Indian politics. If Dirty Politics were to contest in any award ceremony, it would lose unceremoniously.

Watch this if you are a fan of Patekar and have an appetite for gory gangster-cop films.
-
Watch this if your are in the mood to see a pair of good-looking men act like boys.
-
…difficult to take Hawaizaada seriously as a liberally-altered biopic. The premise was promising, but the film never soars dramatically.
-
Actress Sinha does her familiar routine of looking feisty, forlorn and furious. This song-dance-action formula that dominates Tevar has been regurgitated at least a few dozen times in Bollywood films, and therefore it’s difficult to savour here. Enter at your own risk.
-
There’s no redeeming feature in Action Jackson, a film that’s purely self-indulgent. Skip it.
-
Ungli, led by Randeep Hooda, Emraan Hashmi and Sanjay Dutt, is loaded with noble intentions, but is weighed down by uneven execution and simplistic twists.
-
Kill Dil doesn’t offer any riveting twists, but you don’t feel like putting a bullet to your head at the end of it either. Watch it if you love Singh and his nervous energy.

A tedious film, watch if you are a fan of Akshay Kumar and can turn a blind eye to blatant objectification of women
