Nikhat Kazmi's Film Reviews
-
The film predominantly suffers from a lack-lustre script (Althea Delmas Kaushal) which often borders on the corny.
-
Don’t be mislead by the title (no, it isn’t a morning show film) and don’t be foxed by the low key publicity. This one’s truly a surprise. Check it out.
-
The film does show flashes of substance and form, but there’s a whole lot of flab that renders it formless.
-
The storyline may be interesting and hold potential as a drama about a bunch of kids trying to blow up a terrorist plot. But its delineation is so serious, so tedious and so unfunny, it makes us adults fidgety. Can’t imagine what it would do to an audi full of restless kids!
-
Fun while it lasts, Tanu Weds Manu throws up Bollywood’s newest obsession — small town girls and their gunas (values) — once again. A meatier storyline and a less messed up climax would have worked wonders for the film.
-
Serious, sensitive and stirring, 7 Khoon Maaf is a whole new cinematic experience. Watch how Indian cinema is metamorphosing into something more substantial and glocal.
-
Patiala House may not match up to his debut film, Kal Ho Na Ho, but director Nikhil Advani does make amends for the disastrous Chandni Chowk to China. Watch this family drama for its redefinition of patriotism in a going-global age, dominated by the growing Indian diaspora.
-
Intermittently interesting, Utt Pataang has a problem of plenty. You’ve seen this so many times in experimental gangster noir.
-
You can’t go cackling like a bunch of geese with fake accents, faux oomph and freakishly bad performances.
-
Dark, devious and different, Yeh Saali Zindagi is brain-and-brawn drama. Wish the Censor hadn’t beeped so much.
