…does not have the thrills and gimmicks to draw big numbers. But that’s exactly what the film deserves. The stupendous storytelling of this film deserves a lot more than 100 crores. Just like it’s protagonist in real-life, it needs a fighting chance. To run itself onto glory.

The climax especially is phenomenally fast and the action is fast and furious. Matt Damon looks a bit wrinkled but his prime physical condition (upper body muscles) just does not give the idea that he’s 46 and been missing from the super spy genre for almost a decade. He fits into the Bourne mould like a tailor-stitched glove. His presence makes the movie engaging, director Paul Greengrass’ action-blockbuster treatment takes care of the entertainment. It’s a win-win situation as long as you don’t expect any cerebral arguments. This one’s a good, old-fashioned action flick.

The Legend Of Michael Mishra suffers from some very amateur execution. The film’s got decent music, a very talented cast, but it seems the makers were hell bent on making this flick with a surreal and bizarre tone. Looks like they got a little too cheeky.

Mothers from middle class families are the perfect and only target audience for this film. For everyone else there’s a better bad movie called Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot!

The basic requisite of enjoying Dishoom is to not have any heavy duty expectations. This film by director Rohit Dhawan is the same brand of easy entertainment that his dad was known for. The movie starts with a song (Toh dishoom) and it ends with a song (Jaaneman). The new age filmmaker has just added a whole lot of style to the same old substance. And as it did 20 years ago, the gimmick still works out.

There are certain moments in the first half of Madaari that are both powerful and subtle. Even though the second half barely manages to scrape through, this film on the broad and capable shoulders of Irrfan Khan manages to deliver the right punch. This Madaari will have your dormant nationalism and parental emotions dancing out with thundering effect. The message here is loud and clear.

The set pieces in Ice Age: Collision Course work fine. A giant asteroid is about to destroy planet Earth and the way the mammals manage to avoid the catastrophe is engaging in parts. But the movie’s constant effort to be an Ice Age film hard selling family values is tiring and unoriginal. If the storytelling is inconsequential to your movie watching experience, Collision Course works out. But if you are a seasoned movie buff, chances are you’ll be bored to death.

Great Grand Masti has all the regular trappings to satisfy the average adult comedy aficionado. But if you expect even the slightest amount of grace and intelligence in your cinema, you’ll have to look away. This is pure cheeky fun. Meant only for those who enjoy innuendos.

Well-made, well thought out and slickly executed, The Secret Life Of Pets is one of the funniest animated movies in recent years. Pet lovers especially will enjoy this kooky concoction of cute and sass.

Bajrangi Bhaijaan set the trend for Salman Khan where he steered clear of the whistles and claps style of entertainment. Sultan is an effort to add to that thought, trying to add grit and realism to Salman’s brand of cinema. But unfortunately, Sultan also tries to sneak in larger-than-life heroism and action. It’s definitely not a bad effort, that the film talks about sports and athletes in India is good intentions at their best. When it comes to entertainment, Sultan packs a solid punch.
