Rachit Gupta's Film Reviews

Bahubali is truly an epic experience. Had the story not been so jaded, this would’ve gone into the history books as an all-time classic. But that’s not the case. It has its set of storytelling flaws, but even those are overshadowed by Rajamouli’s ideas and execution. This is definitely worthy of being India’s most expensive film. It’s a definite movie watching experience.

I Love New Year is a romantic comedy that’s neither too funny nor too alluringly mushy. It’s just a posh looking two-hour long feature film. Very forgettable fare.

Films like Genisys, like its immediate predecessors will be remembered as slick action vehicles. Films that blow shit up with style. But that was never the idea behind the Terminator’s greatness.

There are a few surprise appearances in Second Hand Husband. They add to the experience of the film. But again, most of it seems like a fancy commercial movie gimmick. It actually does nothing for the story. But it does give fan boys a chance to root for the film. If you are a fan of punjabi movies, music and actors Second Hand Husband has the right trappings. Otherwise it’s all a bit too pointless.

The one reason Guddu Rangeela avoids embarrassment is its performances. The actors really do save this film. Whether it’s the comedy by the supporting cast or the dramatic turns of the leads, the acting keeps the spark alive. Needless to say, Subhash Kapoor’s film is well-made. But it’s also severely flawed. His films are usually noticed for their writing and that’s exactly where Guddu Rangeela falls short.

3D films in Hindi cinema are a rarity. Movies focusing entirely on dance are just as niche. Put the two together and you have a solid proposition for a commercial entertainer. Great looking lead pair, dancing their socks off and the visuals are pretty neat too. ABCD 2 is a dance film that makes its viewer feel like dancing. Michael Jackson would approve!

The big take away, apart from the large prehistoric action portions, from Jurassic World is that Chris Pratt is the new Harrison Ford. Heck he’s even dressed like a cross between Han Solo and Indiana Jones. And he’s motorcycling around the jungles of Jurassic World playing hero as if he were in a Jurassic edition of temple run.

Love triangles are not terribly original. And bad dialogue never helped any film. HAK is guilty on both counts. The only reason one would get through the two hours of this film is on the efforts of the actors or by praising the idea of themes dealing with love and the fallible nature of people. Not too much on offer for a big ticket movie.

Every member of the literally big ensemble cast in DDD, comes together to make it feel like a family. You have a quirky Punjabi clan and their oddball friends dancing and singing to some great music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. They’re in good looking locations with fancy clothes and luxurious ambiance. It’s an exclusive peek into the lifestyle of the rich and famous. There’s a decent well-rounded story as well. It’s the perfect exotic weekend getaway.

Welcome To Karachi is a madcap comedy. The likes where nothing makes sense but grown men act like retards and yet save the world. It’s hard to write a recommendation for such a brainless romp.
