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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
…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 special film that beats the astronomical odds against it to give us a heartfelt, unconventional yet traditional rom-com sequel that is able to find the rare perfect balance between romance and comedy.
-
Any doubts you might’ve had about the return of the Mad Max franchise after 30 years are put to rest within the first few minutes itself. Thereon, Fury Road makes for a thrillingly nightmarish ride through the dust, and easily the best one in the series.
-
…is a largely impressive and splendidly fun follow-up by Shoojit Sircar to his fantastic Madras Cafe. The finale of the film does play a spoilt sport, but you’re still left with the memories from one helluva journey you’re unlikely to forget soon.
-
…is a marvelously entertaining piece of cinema, with bombastic action, dollops of humor and a beating heart. Operating at a scale that is hard not to admire, it’ll leave you desperately waiting for the next Marvel film.
-
…is that rare film that reaches for the stars with its feet firmly on the ground. Honest, soaring, eye-opening and all the while entertaining, Shonali Bose’s little gem of a film is well worth the price of an admission ticket this weekend.
