Guest Iin London is shot entirely in foreign locations, so there’s a bit of a fresh vibe to the setting. While that works in favour of the film, the comedy just isn’t good enough. Ajay Devgn makes a brief cameo, but despite all attempts at making this film a masala entertainer, it never manages to rise above a trite script and some lackluster execution. Even if this film had good music, there would’ve been a silver lining to talk about. But there are no such redeeming qualities at all.

…there’s never been a Spider-Man movie quite as good as this one. Tobey Maguire’s first film comes close. But then Jon Watts’ homecoming serves up a seriously impressive final scene between Tony Stark, Peter Parker, Pepper Potts and Jon Favreau’s Happy (Stark’s Man Friday). Its action looks way more authentic and intense than any Spidey movie before. The humour and quick witted dialogue of the film are phenomenal. It’s a great build up movie to Avengers: Infinity War. And then there’s the case of Marisa Tomei. Some things in life just make you go ‘bellissima!’

Saat Uchakkey is a real surprise package. This reasonably under sold movie has a lot of endearing goodness and the kind of satirical silly humour that made movies like Jaane Bhi Do Yaro and Kholsa Ka Ghosla such classics. It may not be the most polished product but it is a gem nonetheless, a funny movie with the right amount of weirdness and outrageous ideas. All presented in an honest and crazy manner. This One’s sure to con you into having a good time.

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.

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.

With everything that’s wrong with The Legend Of Tarzan, the movie on a whole still works because it all looks so polished and slick. The visuals of the African landscapes are breathtaking, especially in IMAX 3D. The CGI animals though sometimes inconsistent, still make for a marvellous sight. The visual wizardry at work in this film more than makes up for it’s dimwit storytelling. So if you like the sight of a larger-than-life action adventure, Tarzan is just the man for you.

Shorgul tries to tell a tale of merit. But the methods it employs to tell its story are so jaded, you just lose your faith in the film. The movie ends with Sanjay Suri, (portraying a CM’s role that’s a spin-off on Uttar Pradesh head Akhilesh Yadav) taking a dig at democracy. The tone is that the CM was helpless as he could merely sit and watch a tragedy unfold. Oddly, its a sentiment that mirrors the film’s audience’s experience too.
