Freaky Ali
2016 · India · Sep 2016
Now this plot could have held a lot of potential, but Sadly the Arbaaz Khan production goes down the spiral and it doesn't take long for the sense, sensibility and a shred of doubt to go out of the window!
A Flying Jatt
2016 · India · Aug 2016
Parents can peacefully doze off to sleep for good 138 minutes, in case they wish to accompany their wards for this one!
Mohenjo Daro
2016 · India · Aug 2016
PAINFULLY BORING!...You would rather want to go back to school and attend a History class quite merrily!
The Legend of Michael Mishra
2016 · India · Aug 2016
There comes a point through this two hour mindless affair that you stop looking at the screen and prefer to stick your nose into the smartphone. And even then the director is interested in taking the next frame and buffoonery it offers to a whole new level. Some other times it stoops so low that you stop caring and wait for the end credits to roll to heave a sigh of relief.
Azhar
2016 · India · May 2016
This Emraan Hashmi starrer will please Mohammad Azharuddin but may disappoint Chetan Bhagat!
Captain America: Civil War
2016 · India · May 2016
The high octane drama then slowly (and skilfully done) snowballs into zappy car chases (and crashes), full blown civil wars, gunfires that will make you go boom! and tremendously projected acrobatic antics–you get it all. The razor sharp editing and fragmented (intentionally done) screenplay only spices up the drama to give you a visual experience that only this series can promises to dish out!
Neerja
2016 · India · Feb 2016
Don't miss this extraordinary tale of an ordinary young girl who made the nation proud with her incredible courage. Madhvani gives the real-life hero a befitting tribute!
Ghayal Once Again
2016 · India · Feb 2016
Ghayal Once Again, in a nutshell, is Sunny Deol (and his antics) unleashed…absolutely unleashed! Does Deol deliver a solid punch in the end to make us clap and whistle? The answer to that one is a thunderous NO!
Airlift
2016 · India · Jan 2016
The heart-wrenching drama unfolds with many twists and turns that will keep you hooked to the seat. It surely leaves you moist-eyed and your heart goes out for the helplessness of the victims, but you also enjoy the moment of triumph as raw emotions get displayed and the strength of togetherness as indeed the core moral values come to the surface.
Bajirao Mastani
2015 · India · Dec 2015
Bajirao Mastani is certainly a one time watch. The confluence of the Mughal impressions and the Maratha establishment is beautifully portrayed. Ranveer Singh plays the Bajirao Peshwa with remarkable conviction. He keeps a peculiar Marathi twang consistent. He packs so much honesty and sincerity into the performance. Deepika looks smouldering hot as Mastani and delivers yet another scintillating act. Priyanka Chopra looks promising too. The epic love story is as arresting as it is beautiful in terms of its scale and drama. SLB leaves no stone unturned to ensure that he produces a visual delight like no other!
Talvar
2015 · India · Oct 2015
Armed with in-depth research, powerful screenplay and brilliant directorial skills, Gulzar keeps the drama engaging and taut. Irrfan, Konkana Sen and Neeraj Kabi sink into their characters and yet their awareness about presenting the case is palpable. This ain't just an intense story that needed to be told. It's a must watch for facts, as they are presented and consumed, could be stranger than fiction.
Katti Batti
2015 · India · Sep 2015
Nikhil Advani's Katti Batti is watch-able in parts thanks to some really good moments it produces. Imran and Kangana's unusual pairing works well for the hatke story. The film-maker has his heart at the right place, but his choppy direction fails to make the audiences empathise with the lead characters and the trauma they suffer. In the end one must add that watch this movie because it is not your regular rom com. The inherent message of the narrative is as sincere as Kangy and Imran's performances!
Phantom
2015 · India · Aug 2015
Bolstered with the razor sharp editing skills that put a seasoned surgeon to shame, excellent cinematography and commendable screenplay, Kabir Khan delivers a cinematic treat that entertain as well as thrill you. The movie is technically supreme too. A special mention here for the background score and the action sequences where the expertise employed is on par with the international standards.
Bangistan
2015 · India · Aug 2015
A fine fine concept has been butchered in one swift stroke. Bangistan tries hard to give you those much-anticipated giggles. It ends up making a lot of noise but audiences don't walk into the theatre to hear a bang. 'Sound' direction and less hamming could have saved this venture from turning into a cinematic disaster.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan
2015 · India · Jul 2015
...is a must watch for it restores faith in the goodness in humanity as it indeed gives you hope that Salman Khan could probably act!
Hamari Adhuri Kahani
2015 · India · Jun 2015
While our expectations were extremely high from Vidya and Rajkummar, we have to admit, our hopes were dashed! Hamari Adhuri Kahani has a series of cheesy dialogues which are sure to draw big yawns. It is clear that this Emraan Hashmi and Vidya Balan starrer is in for a string of harsh reviews tonight!
Detective Byomkesh Bakshy
2015 · India · Apr 2015
Sushant delivers a rather understated performance, but the real star here is Banerjee who shines with his cinematic brilliance as he pays attention to minutes details in terms of construction of the characters and the city (Calcutta). He lets the story take the usual path, before delivering a rather edgy punch without resorting to the larger-than-life hysteria. Dibakar Banerjee dishes out an interesting thriller!
Yennai Arindhaal...
2015 · India · Feb 2015
With recent big budget-big star movies disappointing, Gautam Vasudev Menon bounces back to winning ways with this action thriller, which has a winner written all over it. Ajith's large legion of fans are sure to have a treat with this one.
Hawaizaada
2015 · India · Jan 2015
Very rarely do cine-goers get to see a movie that charms them with its simplicity coupled with the sincerity of those who make it. Director Vibhu Puri's Hawaizaada is one such endevour that retains the essence of the simplicity of narration without going overboard.
Ugly
2014 · India · Dec 2014
With Ugly Anurag Kashyap shuttles bravely between intrigue and mystery. He puts forth an unabashed and yet a non-judgmental commentary on the dark ingredients that make our being. From betrayal to brutality and from lies to unsolicited liaisons, Ugly sheds light on the darkness that thrives in the city and perhaps in the heads of those who dwell it. Don't miss this cinematic treat if you have both the stomach-and the palate-to digest this delicious story soaked in disturbing darkness.
Happy Ending
2014 · India · Nov 2014
If you are willing to move over the mandatory mush and sugary love stories, this quirky Happy Ending will serve you well!
Mary Kom
2014 · India · Sep 2014
Mary Kom may not be the most brilliantly designed movie but it has its heart at the right place. It may not entertain you in the most exciting or thrilling way, but the earnest performances from the actors and the sincerity shown by director Omang Kumar with his craft of direction and storytelling definitely calls for a deserving round of applause.
Purani Jeans
2014 · Bollywood Life · May 2014
All in all this Purani Jeans reeks of the age-old-unmentionable-romantic-disasters that will leave you either nauseating or yawning endlessly!
2 States
2014 · Bollywood Life · Apr 2014
Hate Chetan Bhagat or love him, loath his books or swear by them but you certainly can't ignore him and most certainly you can't ignore this delicious movie made with sincere efforts and heart. If you are madly in love, lonely without love or in search of love, you must catch this one, for falling head over the heels for someone is not enough. Sometimes taking a step further to take affection to its logical conclusion- no matter how the odds are stacked – initiates the beginning of a happy ending. For now it is advisable to enjoy the journey, the process and the mush will follow!
Bhoothnath Returns
2014 · Bollywood Life · Apr 2014
...the real star of the show is somebody else-someone who is at least six decades younger to the big daddy of Bollywood and less than half the size of Mr Bachchan's larger than life tall frame.
Jal
2014 · Bollywood Life · Apr 2014
All in all Jal is a stunning looking movie that fails spectacularly at telling an engaging story!
Gulabi Gang
2014 · Bollywood Life · Feb 2014
There's no attempt to glorify or even to gloss over the efforts of Sampat Pal. The documentary dosen't shy away from showing contradictions and confusions among Gulabi Gang's members. The powerful visuals don't falsify Pal's heroism and her grit. The interpretations of this movies could be many, but the fact that Jain allows her viewers the liberty to see Pal as the emergence of a parallel force-to bring about the much needed change- is not purely and necessarily circumstantial, but is indeed thought provoking.
Hasee Toh Phasee
2014 · Bollywood Life · Feb 2014
The first-time director portrays this easy-on-the-eye, sweet and otherwise predictable romantic plot with finesse. The Parineeti Chopra and Sidharth Malhotra starrer banks heavily on the innocence and the freshness of the new age romance that Mathew has crafted carefully, without indulging in scenarios of lingering longing, hysteria or melodrama. In broad strokes, HTP is Abbas Tyrewal's Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, with all its charm and frothy freshness.
Karle Pyaar Karle
2014 · Bollywood Life · Jan 2014
The movie has no plot, with a silly bachpan ka pyaar as its theme. The writing, direction, editing, music and performances are bad, beyond description. After watching this disaster, even watching Manmohan Singh giving a speech would be like the climax of a James Bond movie. In a nutshell avoid this haphazardly shot catastrophe.
Shuddh Desi Romance
2013 · Bollywood Life · Sep 2013
In a nutshell, Shuddh Desi Romance is a cinematic delight that's very difficult to explain and should better be consumed with patience and an open mind. Those who are stuck in the Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge kind of idealistic romance or looking for a mushy picture-perfect ending may not quite like this unconventional tale. But for those who are keen to see the evolving face of our very own and highly complex shuddh desi romance – as it is and absolutely unadulterated – cannot afford to miss this one!
