…is a rather faithful disaster-actioner that’s almost always gorgeous to look at and occasionally thrilling in its building porn, but is let down by its cardboard characters and some uninspired writing.

…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.

Kuch Kuch Locha Hai is meant as a substitute to certain materials you can find over the internet, for those people who don’t have access to the internet. Which means they don’t have access to this review. Which means this was a wasted effort on my part.

…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.

Whoever said “it’s the thought that matters” clearly didn’t have to sit through the 2+ hours of faux vigilantism that is Gabbar is Back. The idea behind it might’ve been right, but the treatment is all wrong.

…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.

…an inept, incompetent and insipid sci-fi film with an IQ level that is smaller than the size of Emraan Hashmi’s shoes. Skipping it is not an option, it is a compulsion.

…a Vidhu Vinod Chopra Bollywood film with Hollywood actors and settings. It is grim, dark, violent and sporadically powerful, yet too sentimental and emotionally manipulative for its own good.
