I’ve had enough films that are banking on one star’s stardom to pull an entire 2-2.5 hour film through – be it Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan or my personal favorite Ajay Devgn. Sure most of them have either action, romance or a social message as the other anchor in the film. But, I know I’ve had enough. Aren’t the actors done with these films that seem like it is more about them, the STAR?

The incident itself was of course unfortunate, and Bhopal – A Prayer for Rain brings about the events that led up to the eventual disaster in an engaging format.

…the writing just doesn’t engage you like a thriller should. It tries the known hooks that horror movies usually opt for when they know they can’t keep you involved – cleavage and sex. Tells you how confident the makers were in the story they had to tell, which incidentally they try to boast about – their narrative capabilities. Unfortunately, it shows a lack thereof.

An engaging film Ungli is. But like observed in another film not too long ago, “Human behavior and life doesn’t change in 3 hours.”

You have to give points to Happy Ending for at least trying to be different, even if not whole-heartedly. There are a few points in the film where you catch yourself inadvertently thinking a little deeper about love and its place in our world today. For me, that by itself is an achievement. Sure, I might not need a film to get me thinking about love and relationships, but it feels good when one gets you to.

Story lines like Kill Dil had started losing their charm 30+ years ago. I am still not able to get over the fact that Shaad Ali and team, couldn’t add one new angle to make it look like a product for and by the next generation.

I would still watch Rang Rasiya, for what it’s trying to do. The hope is that as there are more and more bold themes, these creases will be ironed out to give us a wholesome, less self-aware film. Till then, this is a decent enough start.

I don’t really have much more to say about this one except that I had to keep comparisons with my all-time worst film ever, *Buddha Mar Gaya * at bay. And it wasn’t the easiest task to do that.

I am pleasantly surprised and happy that Happy New Year attempted story. Yes, most of it is expectedly lame and laughable. But, isn’t it cool that Farah Khan thinks her audience to be worthy of it. As if nodding to the fact that the audiences tastes are changing, even if the nod is a weary one and the change is ever so slow. Thank you, lady, and I mean it sincerely.

Sonali Cable wanted to make a point and it has tried its best to not lose focus. Unfortunately, though, it feels a little long drawn out with a tame ending. Yet, there are some bits that stay with you, bit that you can watch the whole film for once. – See more at: http://wogma.com/movie/sonali-cable-review/#sthash.8jjFUb45.dpuf
