…a lazy attempt at filmmaking. Watch it only if you have insomnia because the comfortable seats, the theatre air conditioning and the film will be enough to lull you to sleep.

Only go for Jackpot if you sat right until the end of the titles of Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag and yelled encore.

Magic is an essential part of The Lord of the Rings universe and magic is what you get the moment you put your 3D glasses on in the dark cinema hall.

If you thought Ram-Leela was a visual treat, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Watching Oldboy feels like you’re watching a history lesson on the projector in your seventh grade class. While the visuals may be dark and slick, there is really nothing about the film that feels even a tiny bit humane. Cyborgs might as well have crafted this. Oldboy is not for the weak-hearted. Or film lovers. Or just people, in general.

Every frame is slick, though not as dark as that of the first film despite the characters dealing with extreme trauma in this one. Hunger Games Catching Fire is clinical at times but nevertheless a smooth ride.

The film begins pretty well and Shahid entertains in bits but there’s only so much he can do to make this kind of stuff work.

Bullett Raja is rife with predictable scenes, bad editing and a lack of control over the script, which spirals into an unending loop of absurdity. The pseudo-patriotism blends into personal enmity with the corrupt without much warning, leaving the viewers confused.

It might be perfectly executed with an amazing star cast but it lacks a soul — and a story. The saddest part is that this could have been such a beautiful film. It’s not everyday that we see films for an audience above 30. The idea to include a wider age group into the cinematic experience might have been a noble one but the film essentially forgets to help the viewer connect with any of the characters — despite all of them having completely legitimate sob stories.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein is essentially two different films separated by an intermission, with a few, weak common threads between the two. It is a case of shoddy editing, writing and direction. Its saving grace is that it is a love story and the second half will manage to melt your heart, if only slightly. It’s the classic opposites attract story and hey, if you’re into that kind of thing, this might be your kind of film.

The first half of Singh Saab the Great is enjoyable but overshadowed by the loud, sometimes nonsensical music. The other half is unnecessarily gory and overshadowed by even louder and more nonsensical music.

Although I appreciate that the makers of Singh Saab the Great tried to make a socially conscious and relevant film, they got pulled into giving a sermon instead.
