Sippy never brings the lightness of touch needed to pull off this kind of film. Like the title suggests, it’s all empty theatrics. And wait, the film also has the unique distinction of capturing one of the longest on-screen smooches in a long time.. shot in such excruciating close-up that you might throw up your lunch.

Like junk food, it has no nutritional value. But an occasional bite doesn’t hurt.

The movie opens with a disco song featuring Sonakshi Sinha that goes: “Thank God, it’s Friday!”Not this Friday, believe me.

This is death by boredom!

Its heart unquestionably in the right place, ‘Jolly LLB’ is very watchable, even if it does paint in broad strokes. I’m going with two-and-a-half out of five. Not a bad way to spend an evening.

The film, ultimately, rushes towards its hasty, unpredictable resolution that feels unconventional merely for the sake of it. I’m going with two out of five for ‘I, Me Aur Main’. At less than two hours, it’s hardly a slog. But you can’t help feeling like real potential was squandered.

Murder 3 is a more or less faithful copy of the Colombian thriller The Hidden Face, whose remake rights the Bhatts legally acquired. That, you see, is a big improvement from all those years of cheerfully ripping off Hollywood and Asian films without so much as a by your leave.

At 2 hours and 20 minutes, ‘ABCD’ is too long. There’s some genuinely original choreography up there, but it’s lost in a plodding film with characters you couldn’t care about.

A lot of it is unabashedly entertaining, although you’ll wish the film was shorter and smarter.

There’s much to appreciate here, but you can’t help feeling it could have been so much more.
