In this country, the glam world permeates into every sphere of our lives. Behind the shine of stardom, there is the struggle of multitudes, who are unable to make it big here. Is this film a befitting tribute to them? No. Lamentably, even with its noble intention and strong performances, the movie never soars.
-
Comedies are meant to break the monotony of your life. In this case, you would prefer your mundane life twice over than subject yourself to such stupidity.
-
Aashiqui 2 did a good job at bringing back the 90s’ melodramatic romance back but Sanam Teri Kasam is barely as compelling.
-
Despite its freshness, the film fails to create an impact. It is hard to be affected by it due to its lack of depth.
-
There is very little heart to all the mad rush in the movie. You are moved when Dave adopts the chipmunks legally or when Miles starts looking at them as family and not foes. Frankly Miles’ change of heart was a little out of the blue, but it fits just fine for the age group it is catering to.
-
The words ‘God was with us’ written across the walls where these 33 men were trapped gives some perspective and the triumph of indomitable human spirit eases out a lot of negatives. This is a plain biopic that has its heart in the right place but doesn’t deliver anything extraordinary.
-
You wish the film was less conventional in its approach, but it delivers so much that you can barely complain. In keeping with the film’s Casablanca line, the last word here has to be – “I’ve only really liked a handful of characters in my life, and this movie has two of them.”
-
…is amateurish but a roller coaster ride that entertains to the hilt. You just wish it had a little more than what we’ve seen in the TV series.
-
Chauranga is neither provocative nor skillful in its portrayal. Though its last scene ushers in a ray of hope to nullify the haunting gory glimpses from the film, it never soars high enough to affect you.
-
The acting department puts together ludicrous histrionics in dialogues that will put Kanti Shah’s Gunda to shame. Aapke wajood ka ansh mere wajood se judd gaya hai is how a woman announces her pregnancy. If you are looking for two hours of laugh-out-loud moments, resort to this unapologetic film. You wish the makers were half as sorry as their title claims.
