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.

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!

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.

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.

…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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
