Dabangg 3
2019 · IBNLive · Dec 2019
The challenge to a popular movie franchise like Dabangg is that it requires novelty and sameness in equal parts and the team does get its balance right.
Panipat
2019 · IBNLive · Dec 2019
Panipat, a film about Maratha warrior Sadashiv Rao Bhau who staves off Afghan ruler Ahmad Shah Abdali, disappoints only because of a linear screenplay that fails to rouse dramatic emotions so important to historicals.
Laal Kaptaan
2019 · IBNLive · Oct 2019
Even though Singh keeps away from the sentimentality common to Hindi cinema, Laal Kaptaan lacks pace and certain scenes feel unbearably long. Dialogues, so essential for a historical thriller like this one, falter and flail in critical scenes, puncturing the impact of a unique story. As far as Hindi films go, Laal Kaptaan treads a path less trodden, but it meanders and spectacularly loses steam. It should have cut to the chase, literally and figuratively, but instead, it becomes an unbearably long and pointless pursuit.
The Sky Is Pink
2019 · IBNLive · Oct 2019
Having an almost picture perfect cast can sometimes get in the way of a natural storytelling style but this family scores well on that front.
War
2019 · IBNLive · Oct 2019
Tiger Shroff and Hrithik Roshan make the perfect pair --almost Batman and Robin-like-- with Shroff's earnestness and admiration a good foil to Roshan's wiser ways.
The Zoya Factor
2019 · IBNLive · Sep 2019
Fortune favours the brave and this one with all the talent it's equipped with plus 'The Zoya Factor' certainly seems to hold the promise of box office success.
Dream Girl
2019 · IBNLive · Sep 2019
Dream Girl will surely entertain the film going audiences while sparking off an important conversation on gender constructs in Indian cinema.
Saaho
2019 · IBNLive · Sep 2019
Unfortunately, despite its glitzy packaging, Saaho, because of a choppy, underwritten screenplay and excessive gorefest is a bit of a letdown even for those who love their Hindi movies served with a generous dose of masala. Sigh.
Mission Mangal
2019 · IBNLive · Aug 2019
Despite its creative shortcomings, director Jagan Shakti makes the film evoke patriotic fervor in the audience. Truth be told, in the climax, one can't help but be filled with wonder and pride when the satellite swings into sight! And yes, given that the film doffs a hat to the true-life heroes who accomplished the impossible feat, one hopes that the film's collections at the box-office are 'Mangal' too.
Khandaani Shafakhana
2019 · IBNLive · Aug 2019
Sonakshi Sinha's Film Isn't A Cure for Boredom...The movie makers stay true to their promise of, "The Only Sex Film for the Whole Family" and the film ends up being a straitjacketed one for it.
Judgementall Hai Kya
2019 · IBNLive · Jul 2019
Kangana Ranaut's Bravura Performance Steals the Show...Kangana Ranaut once again turns in a bravura performance- sincere, believable and watchable all the time.
The Lion King
2019 · IBNLive · Jul 2019
Jon Favreau's Version is a Charming Jungle Fable...The Lion King's newest version without a shadow of a doubt is a marvel of creative technology. It is the sort of film that parents would like to take their kids to watch over the weekend.
Super 30
2019 · IBNLive · Jul 2019
Hrithik Roshan Fills Colours in this Underdog Story...Connecting the dots of this feel-good story and filling in the colours is actor Hrithik Roshan along with a talented ensemble of actors.
Article 15
2019 · IBNLive · Jun 2019
Director Anubhav Sinha who has to his credit entertainers like Tum Bin, Dus and Ra.One has certainly found his groove with movies that qualify as social-issue-based commercial films. He combines elements of popular film-making with realistic story-telling and the result is an outstanding film. Mulk, which released last year made everyone sit up and take note of his work more seriously. With Article 15, Sinha compels us to ask for an encore.
Kabir Singh
2019 · IBNLive · Jun 2019
Reddy's direction is impressive. He knows his material well and keeps it on a tight leash, never skipping a beat. Let's face it, the love story genre is well loved but it is also one of the toughest to crack. Reddy despite a brooding despairing protagonist takes things many notches higher and makes it one helluva trippy ride.
