Martin D'Souza's Film Reviews

There’s a bit of the Keanu Reeves starrer SPEED and the Bruce Willis starrer DIE HARD in TEZZ. The three star rating is purely for the gripping, Hollywood-like action.
-
Hate story is neither spectacular, nor boring. It falls somewhere in between.
-
VICKY DONOR is not your typical Bollywood film. It is different. Daringly different. John Abraham has done well to partner as producer in this film that should generate a good Box Office return!

BITTOO BOSS is interesting in the first few reels. The energy thrown in by debutant actor Pulkit Samrat, who plays the protagonist, is noteworthy. The film relies heavily on Pulkit, and even though the lad makes an honest attempt he is not able to pull off the film. Though the sincerity of the makers is seen, the product per say is not packaged well enough to woo the masses.A good first half but a poor post-interval session.

Don’t go looking for a masterpiece; HOUSEFULL 2 delivers what it promises. Having said that, if the editing was a little sharper, 20 minutes snipped off would have made this film even more hilarious.
-
There are a few flaws, but I’d rather not dwell on those because the overall impact is massive.
-
All in all it is a Saif Ali Khan film. A male hero finally surfaces to give Vidya Balan, the current real hero, a run for her money.
-
Commonsense has no room in this drama as the kids are unleashed on unsuspecting viewers.
I guess, the director had SOUND OF MUSIC in mind when he set out to make AKKAD BAKKKAD BAM BE BO. -
CHAAR DIN KI CHANDNI shows a lot of promise as a good comedy film early on, but totters in between.Somehow, director Samir Karnik manages to hold the film together and does come up with some hilarious scenes that will leave you in splits. CHAAR DIN KI CHANDNI is not all that bad. It’s a good family entertainer if you are looking to lighten up your mood.

KAHAANI is a thriller which you just cannot miss. Sujoy Ghosh goes about unraveling the mystery of Vidya Bagchi’s (Vidya Balan) missing husband with such neat detailing that the trump card he reveals in the end is like a swift blow to the Solar Plexus. It catches you unawares and leaves you short of breath. Stupendous. Take a bow, Sujoy Ghosh. Book your ticket, and brace yourself for an unforgettable ride. I’m going to watch it again.
