Like trusted comfort food, you’re happy to tuck into it knowing full well it has no nutritional value.

Give it a chance, prepare to be patient, and chances are that it’ll stay with you.

Director John Madden offers another affectionate portrait of ageing and second chances in this sentimental but always charming comedy that deserves a watch if only for its terrific A-list cast. It’s the kind of film you’ll want to take your mum to.

Will Smith seems to be having a good time, and for a large part of the film you do too.

It’s often terrifying on this highway, but you’ll be glad you were there for the ride…

Simple and breezy, while at the same time evocative of life in small-town India, Dum Laga Ke Haisha is a charming film that you really shouldn’t miss.

Despite all its strengths, ‘Badlapur’ isn’t a perfect film. The pace slackens post-intermission, plot contrivances are many, and you might say the film is misogynistic in its treatment of women. These are relatively small problems in the larger picture, though. For the most part, the film keeps you on your toes, curious to see where its twists and turns will lead.

Both the cinematography and the background score are nicely moody and leave you with a sense of foreboding. ‘Qissa’ is in the tradition of a compelling folktale that you can’t shake off once you’ve heard it. I’m going with three out of five. I recommend that you watch the film for its unique voice.

It’s tense, consistently compelling, and a dazzlingly original piece of work that you cannot miss.

It’s a very watchable thriller, inconsistent but never dull. A compelling account inspired by an oddly fascinating case.
