End of the day, all critique becomes redundant when the film manages to entertain you. But it’s here that Lucy finds its Achilles’ heel. It intrigues you for a while, but then like any illusion you’re brain kicks into 10 per cent and looks through the con.

If you like a banal story with bad acting, Hercules should be right up your alley. If you have no such kinks, you might find actual entertainment, moving with the times at 22 Jump Street.

Wes Anderson continues his tryst with quirky storytelling. If you liked Moonrise Kingdom, you’ll love The Grand Budapest Hotel. It’s like a slice of Mille fuille (better known as the Napoleon pastry). Elegantly decorated, deliciously crusty and delightfully creamy. Savour every bite.

Salman’s character takes every risk imaginable because he is searching for a kick. An adrenaline rush. Eventually he finds it through a humanitarian cause which adds the proverbial golden-hearted touch to proceedings. The director makes sure he serves everything required to make a Salman Khan fan happy.

Tongue firmly in cheek, Amit Sahni’s list makes Mills & Boon seem like Shakespeare. But despite all its clichéd strengths this film got made and even found a few dozen time slots at the popular multiplex near your house. So if you’re bored of the 5000th episode of your favourite TV soap. Go give Virr Das a chance. He’s trying hard to break the comedian image and find a niche with the romantic crowd. Who knows, perhaps after you spend a thousand rupees watching this film, you might get the joke.

If you think Pizza 3D is a run-of-the-mill horror flick, think again. The horror is just the tip of a chilly but surprising ice berg. It’s more intelligent than your average Hindi film. The way it pans out and the artful way in which it is presented deserve a standing applause. Finally, the young brigade catch up to Hollywood. James Wan beware. Writer/director Karthik Subbaraj (writer of this film and director of the Tamil original) and director Akshay Akkineni know their horror.

By the end, Hate Story 2 becomes so random you can hardly make sense of it. Yes art can be ambiguous. But when it’s stupid, it’s not art at all.

Bobby Jasoos is fun-filled entertainment. It suffers a bit with shoddy execution and writing. But it’s nothing an expert like Vidya can’t handle.

Juvenile humour and racist remarks aside (which Humshakals has plentiful) this film assumes watching mentally unstable people and their loony behavior is entertainment. If it were, mental asylums would charge a price of admission. But Sajid Khan chooses to ignore any such argument. Because everything’s possible in slapstick.

For the uninitiated, the term Fugly was born online. It’s a witty of the f word and ugly. Put together they denote something more than just not-pretty, something that is repulsive. But the word has a zestful pun. It’s almost always used with a fun connotation. To use it to describe real scenarios and life-altering themes is to perhaps employ mix metaphors.
