• The multiple Byomkesh adaptations Bengal keeps churning out might not make for great cinema, but, based as they mostly are rather slavishly on Saradindu’s work, enthrall new audiences regardless.

    Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! is the best looking and least captivating of the current lot.

  • Hunterrr is a deeply problematic film, and fails rather miserably…

  • That, in essence, is the problem with Shamitabh: it spends all its time explaining its own jokes.

    And that never sounds right, no matter the voice.

  • In the name of seriousness, Foxcatcher is deathly dull and far too graceless. When all it needed was a director light on his feet.

  • If you do end up watching The Imitation Game and rightfully applauding its performances, do so with gusto but do also look up the facts of Turing’s life.

    As for this critic who expected more from yet another obvious biopic-shaped piece of Oscar-bait, well, as that feeble Floyd album sang, High Hopes.

  • Tevar emerges an overdone, underwhelming film with zero charm…Stay away.

  • It’s all about Indiawaale, and while Sonu Sood stays consistent and Deepika inevitably dazzles, it is Shah Rukh himself who appears the most out of place — in a movie made to rest on his shoulders. Perhaps they piled too much onto him; perhaps the decades of raising those arms into that iconic pose have taken their toll… Either way, Happy New Year never gets to soar.

  • It isn’t awful, there are laughs, but it’s nothing you’d remember or recommend.

    Then again, since when do we recommend sex tapes in the first place?

  • Sonali Cable starts off as an intriguing story but disconnects itself from the point of the film incredibly fast…

  • This is a stupid, stupid film trying to be slick, a B-grade film made on an A-list budget.
