Rachit Gupta's Film Reviews
-
The plot developments in YPD2 are as wonky and hare-brained as you’ve seen in any recent run-of-the-mill comedy. You’re better off disassociating any hope of logic. Just believe that movies were never meant to have legitimate reason in the story.
-
YJHD is a well-packaged ‘okay’ film and it becomes a ‘good’ film thanks to the acting efforts of Kalki Koechlin, Aditya Roy Kapur, Deepika and of course, Ranbir.
-
Sadly, Aurangzeb isn’t the bad movie that’s so bad it becomes good. It’s an average gangster movie that packs low on action ammunition and high on predictable double crosses and character developments.
-
This coming-of-age teen comedy is the cutest film you’ll watch this year. You’d want to do pinch the cheeks of the person sitting next to you.
-
Bombay Talkies plays out dreams in four separate films. Each film is a mirror to a different reality of Mumbai. Each film is a reflection of different memories of Bombay.
-
SBAGR focuses on the obsessions and passions of the Royal families in UP. And it does a fantastic job of capturing the essence of that vanity of that overt machismo.
-
Inspired by real-life events. That statement creates a certain blanket effect for a film. Saving it from its own loop holes, because the viewers’ mind keeps harking back to the thought that ‘this really happened’. Special 26 benefits from that statement immensely. On the strength of its actors’ performances and filmmaking technique this film rises above its many narrative loop holes to give you a fairly entertaining experience.
-
At a gracious 3 hours runtime, JTHJ feels like an epic love story. And it is just that. JTHJ is the perfect adieu to a hallmark career. It is the best romantic film made in this generation.
-
So it all boils down to the final word. Do you watch it or not? Of course you do. Just make sure silliness in films doesn’t offend you. If you like parodies and light-hearted romances Ajab Gazabb Love has all the trappings to make you feel happy.

What saves the film’s cause is stellar art direction that captures the parched and hostile environs of rural India to the T. And then there are the actors. They are pillars of Jha’s storytelling effort. Manoj Bajpayee is able in his role. So are Esha Gupta, Om Puri and Anjali Patil. But the show belongs to Arjun Rampal and Abhay Deol. Abhay fits into his eccentric and edgy character with ease. And even though Arjun looks a little too polished to play a hard boiled cop he manages a restrained and commendable performance.
