Raja Sen's Film Reviews
-
As a work of fan-fiction, Azhar is a mostly watchable film with a solid lead, but falls far short of being either entertaining, insightful, or worthy of recommendation. Hashmi and D’Souza try hard, and their effort shows.
I just wish I could have said the boys played well.
-
The plot is preposterous, and by the end of the film, all us critics were laughing in exhausted disbelief.
Is this a real movie? Did someone fund this? Is this actually releasing in theatres? In the name of Comrade Jesus, how about a solitary drop of sanity?
-
Contrary to what the film’s publicity and songs would have one believe, One Night Stand isn’t yet another tawdry skin-flick with exploitative cleavage shots in place of a script.
-
These guys get it, the characters and the spirit of the comics. Captain America: Civil War is a great ride even if you don’t read the comics or haven’t seen any of the older films.
-
Take a bow, Shah Rukh Khan.
Not only for a phenomenal, genuinely groundbreaking performance but for being bold enough to give us the sight of a boy wearing painted-on abs while aping you dancing in a song where you, according to rumour, wore painted-on abs. For a glimpse at a worn out 50-year-old man — massaging his temples, and stretching at the lines on his face — before turning on the high-wattage smile and stepping out to market his myth.

Take the kids you know (and the kid within you) and go watch The Jungle Book.
Trust in me.

Ki & Ka wants to be important, it wants to be revolutionary, it wants to be a feminist statement of equality. Admirable, sure. But it doesn’t know how.
It is a film that thinks it knows better, but really — really — doesn’t.
-
Shakun Batra’s sophomore effort is a finely, intelligently crafted film which stumbles because of its eagerness…
-
Zubaan emerges, sadly, like one of those ads where you can half-hum the song but you forget what it was for…
-
The Revenant is a devastating, visually jawdropping film that, for all its sins of tedium, makes up with scale what it lacks in artfulness. It certainly does the frontier justice.
