As you’d expect from a Sunny Leone movie, Beiimaan Love has a lot of onscreen seduction and romance. But all the film’s goodness is wasted on a script that’s so trite and amateur that at times it gets laughable. This movie is strictly for die-hard Sunny Leone fans only.
-
Mirzya is not your traditional young romance where college kids will enjoy the frivolity of young love. It is an artistic take on the passion and zeal of love as an overwhelming experience. You need to deal with its overtly artistic nature with a pinch of salt. But if you have the appetite for a tragic and epic love saga, the luscious visual imagery of Mirzya will give you plenty of food for thought.

Banjo gets a bit lost in its ambition. This movie aspires to be a marriage of Marathi and Hindi culture, it even tries to tie in International music culture with traditional Indian values. But in its attempt to be so many things all at once, it never manages to focus on one aspect – the core story. The underdog story is a proven winner in cinema, but this movie just misses the right note.
-
Wah Taj is an amateur film at best. But It’s also an honest and relevant jab at corruption in veil of progress. It’s good intentions do salvage some pride, but in the end this is a classic case of an opportunity for good satire laid to waste.
-
Raaz Reboot is amateurish and very forgettable. In fact, most of its horror sequences are so random that they evoke laughter instead of fear. That can never be a good proposition for a horror film.
-
Baar Baar Dekho has the right ideas. It even gets the tricky part right – the futuristic design of the story telling. But it doesn’t show any innovation in its writing. This is an age old love story where being in love is more important than everything in life. You can’t sell a 100-year-old idea with futuristic frills. That just doesn’t add up.
-
Apart from its cast, Skiptrace has very little to offer that you can recommend, enjoy or even remember. This Chinese-American goulash with a sprinkling of Mongolian and Russian elements is just all over the place.
-
A Flying Jatt has all the trappings of a masala movie. There’s action, comedy, romance and drama. Sadly there’s just a big void of logic. If this were a Rajnikanth movie you’d lap it up without prejudice. But the fact is, this is a superhero movie trying to hard sell a “save the planet” narrative. You can’t convey such serious messages about environmental issues with such juvenile ideas. If you do, you end up looking like a super powered embarrassment.
-
The 1959 Ben-Hur was a landmark in Hollywood. It was a film that set a precedent for mythological and historical sagas. The new film is like a cheap Chinese clone. Its slick to look at, but once you experience it first hand; you realize it is in essence a cheap knock-off.
-
This film may be called UnIndian but its treatment, writing and technique is unmistakably Indian and a little too obsessed with being masala. The only good thing about this frivolous romance is its leading man and his good looks.
