Martin D'Souza's Film Reviews
-
Nothing makes sense after the mugging as the script goes haywire and performances wayward. The end, too does not match the mood of the beginning. It is just too confusing.
-
DOZAKH, smartly treads the fine line between the intolerance of religion. The turmoil the child goes through and the stark truth his staunch Muslim father is made to face at a crucial juncture is what elevates this film to a commendable level.
This is not your average Bollywood fare, but an interesting movie nonetheless.

HUNTERRR is Gulshan Devaiah and Gulshan Devaiah is HUNTERRR! He gets excellent support from the entire cast, especially the girls who play a prominent part. Sai Tamhankar as the frustrated housewife sizzles in the truest sense of the word, Veera Saxena’s act borders on the real and Radhika Apte delivers another fine act after BADLAPUR.
-
What you take home from the movie is this: Is it worth fuelling your ego? The horrific fact of honour killings. Jungle law on the outskirts of Delhi, ”where democracy ends,” as one cop succinctly puts it and woman power of unrefined proportions.
A word of caution: This one is not for the faint-hearted.

Most movies climax at the interval and leave the rest of it in a mess. Not COFFEE BLOOM, it moves up gradually, rising to a crescendo as the final scene explodes, or should I say diffuses. The music adds volumes to the silence in between.
-
That’s the tragedy when people take their proximity to the industry as something like ‘baap ka raaj’. I’m a choreographer, so now I will act. Or, I’m a singer, what stops me from playing the lead? This seems to be the thinking of those firmly entrenched in the industry.
-
There are many scenes which vie for the ‘worst scene’. But the one I give my vote to is for when Naseeruddin Shah comes into the courtroom to announce, ”CD mere paas hai.” Imagine an actor of his caliber made to do an embarrassing scene like this!
-
Nana Patekar is at his blistering best, even though he is shown ageing in the sequel. He is still sharp and agile, putting his younger teammates to shame.
For his fans, this is a must watch.
-
DUM LAGA KE HAISHA is different as different can be. The premise is also believable.
-
If you have the tensile strength to absorb gore, go for it.
