Top Rated Films
Mihir Fadnavis's Film Reviews
-
You don’t need to read the book prior to watching the film, though I did end up reading it after seeing the film, and I suggest you do the same.
-
Don’t take it too seriously, and you’ll dig Bobby Jasoosand forget about it. But if you’re looking for a memorable film with a repeat value, you’ll be disappointed.
-
If you thought Michael Bay has lost his touch, fear not, because Transformers: Age of Extinction has all the elements that made the first three films memorable. And I’m not talking of just the misogyny, racism or the blonde butt shots. I’m talking of literally every single plot element.
-
Shockingly, it’s not so bad. Suri takes the core of I Saw The Devil and turns it into a melodramatic, manipulative, pyaar-mohabbat-dardi-humdardi drama.
-
If you’re looking for details of Grace Kelly’s life that aren’t already on her Wiki page, ‘Grace of Monaco’ will definitely annoy you. Worse, the film literally holds up cue cards to specify the emotional notes playing in every single plot point, the last of which is regret, something that one feels after watching this movie.
-
Those who saw the first film would remember the goosebumps during the scene where Hiccup and Toothless play hopscotch. There is noting as memorable as that in ‘How to Train your Dragon 2’. Ultimately, the film is a mildly cash grabby theme park ride for kids; a fun one for sure, just not a truly great one.
-
The film’s most touching moment comes when a mother reveals that her husband wanted to dispose of their girl child, and the child went on to achieve massive success. It’s when you realise that The World Before Her is one of the most important, skillfully made and powerfully provocative films to come in a long time.
-
When I watched Tom Cruise in a mech suit punching aliens in the face with one hand and spraying machine gun ammo with the other, I had just one thought in my mind – why was Edge of Tomorrow marketed so poorly? Because Edge of Tomorrow is a terrific film, and perhaps the most satisfying action movie I’ve seen this year.
-
Ultimately, Murugadoss makes you wonder if you should be making a movie simply because you’re allowed to make a movie.
-
The Raid 2 was not a movie. It was a fine dining restaurant tended by a single waiter-cum-cook named Gareth Evans.
