Piyush Chopra's Film Reviews
-
While at times highly predictable, not many could deny that this journey of these Chhichhoras to the finals wasn’t a fun, if uneven, ride. With a bit more attention to the writing, this film could’ve differentiated itself from the crowd with its game cast and setting. Presently, it makes for a good one time watch but not much more.
-
With both of their careers in the middle of a downward trend, Sidhharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra would’ve been hoping for a repeat success together after Hasee Toh Phasee. Alas, Jabariya Jodi fails to emulate the quirky charm and sweet emotional core of that much superior film, and all it manages to be is another proof that good films are made from good screenplays, not a producer’s false idea of a winning lead pair.
-
Sicario may not be as tensely successful as some of director Denis Villeneuve’s past work, but it’s enthralling enough, smart enough and raises enough questions to be counted as another tick in the masterful filmmaker’s success column.
-
Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four isn’t really Josh Trank’s at all. Instead, it’s a mildew of studio meddling and artistic frustrations that’s so lacking in action, drama or character development that it’s impossible to recommend.
-
Genisys starts off cleverly with a fresh take on a familiar plot, before drowning under the weight of its own smarts. Still, director Alan Taylor gives you enough entertainment to make this time-traveling adventure a decent way to pass time.
-
Guddu Rangeela could’ve been great had Subhash Kapoor stuck to making a satire that tried to do something about the appalling backwardness of our hinterlands. Instead, we get a middling and uninspired action comedy that’s neither entertaining nor enlightening.
-
ABCD 2 is too melodramatic and too impressed with itself to be able to deliver an eye-popping dance spectacle that you expect and deserve. If you’re looking for that great Bollywood dance-off film, you’ll have to wait and see if ABCD 3 does it for you.
-
…had too many excuses to turn out badly. Instead, Colin Trevorrow manages to put together a film that’s equal parts entertaining and nostalgic. It may not be Jurassic Park, but this is as close as you could come to replicating it’s epicness in a sequel.
-
…might be a flawed family comedy-drama, but the flawed family at its center is so relatable and the issues that it confronts are so relevant, that the film will end up being a fond if bittersweet memory.
-
…is a slightly better effort than director Ashish R. Mohan’s previous film, the stain on humanity that was Khiladi 786, but that isn’t saying much. The film neither entertains nor does it inform, and it leaves you asking: what the fafda, man.
