Rachit Gupta's Film Reviews
-
Tevar is all about the onscreen attitude of its leading man. Arjun’s done a decent job, but sadly the director chose the most worn out story in cinema. If it’s old and common it can’t be too exciting.
-
Anurag Kashyap, his writers, his actors and his technicians have outdone themselves with Ugly. The underlying sense of peril and the unrelenting tension grips you through a sweat breaking two hours. And when the climax of Ugly arrives you’re dealt a killer blow. It’s so dark and inconvenient that it’ll wrench your gut. And yet, it’s so simple that you’ll hate yourself for not guessing. More so, you’ll hate the characters for being so ignorant and misguided. Ugly is a film that draws the deepest and darkest behavior of men. This is how you make a great film.

…with dodgy and inconsistent dialogue and repetitive visuals which look too similar to 3 Idiots and Lage Raho Munnabhai, PK doesn’t quite match up to the mark. It’s certainly not Hirani’s best. But it is good enough to engage and entertain the majority of its audience.
-
Despite all its technical merits, the one most prominent feature of Action Jackson is its incoherence. Most of the film just doesn’t make any sense. There are patches of brilliance. But none of that can save this goulash conceived from inconsistency and indecision. Prabhudheva is capable of much better.
-
A thousand likes to Masurkar for deviating from the norm and having the audacity to try something different. But, a story is the heart and soul of a film. And Sulemani Keeda falls short on that aspect by some margin. Clever writing and word play do save the scene. But then it could’ve been better.
-
Rampant use of clichés and skewered logic aside, the one single fact that murders any and all prospects of this film is its campy dialogue. Some of the lines force you to throw your head into your lap. The kitschy nature of these dialogues is beyond belief… End of the day, what could’ve been a thrilling and defiant movie, turns out to be such a listless affair.
-
Essentially, Happy Ending is a cheeky film with a run-of-the-mill urban romance at its centre. And it’s the mediocre love story that spoils the mood.
-
End of the day, this is a classic case of could-have-been. KillDil had the potential. Sadly, the director could find singularity in his vision. It’ll be a surprise if anyone remembers this movie in the days to come.
-
Even though the nightcrawling is an alien thought to India. The theme of invasion of privacy is a universal truth. Even more relevant is the theme of opportunism. And if you thought crime doesn’t pay, you’ve got another think coming. Nightcrawler is a slick, gritty and hard hitting thriller. Easily the best film in theatres in a long time.
