Rajeev Masand's Film Reviews
-
What you take back with you as you leave the cinema in the end, is the repugnant image of these four male actors – each well into his 40s – slobbering over blondes half their age. They’re dirty old men, and ‘Thank You’ is a dirty little picture.
-
It doesn’t help that the singularly unattractive cast doesn’t have one acting bone between them, and that the film feels much longer than its roughly two hours running time.
-
The only respite in Game is some eye-watering photography, a thrilling foot chase sequence in Istanbul, and a surprisingly understated romantic track involving Abhishek Bachchan’s character. Unfortunately that’s not enough to save this mess of a thriller.
-
‘Tanu Weds Manu’ isn’t all bad. There are portions in the first half that enjoyable. But held together by a fractured script, they fail to take good shape.
-
In the end, this is an irresponsible, amateurishly made film that could have been so much better. I’m going with one-and-a-half out of five for director Sagar Bellary’s ‘Kaccha Limboo’. Feel free to miss this one completely!
-
Using tools like newspaper headlines, radio announcements and television bulletins to root this mostly surreal film in reality, Vishal Bhardwaj delivers his oddest film yet, that is also sadly his weakest.
-
This film may work for those who miss old-fashioned melodramatic entertainers, but I was bored. I’m going with one-and-a-half out of five for director Nikhil Advani’s ‘Patiala House’. Decide for yourself if it’s your cup of tea.
-
Dil To Baccha Hai Ji is too long for a light-hearted comedy, and the dialogue is pedestrian. Still it’s not a complete waste of time; there are some laughs to be had. I’m going with two-and-a-half out of five for director Madhur Bhandarkar’s Dil To Baccha Hai Ji. Don’t go in expecting too much, and perhaps you won’t be too disappointed.
-
The film takes a promising premise and fails to realize its potential because it’s trying too hard to be cool. I’m going with two out of five for writer-director Alankrita Shrivastava’s Turning 30. I think I can safely say I wouldn’t want to meet a girl like Naina when she’s nearing 40!
-
It’s fun in parts but tires you out by the time it finally comes to an end. I’m going with two-and-a-half out of five for Yamla Pagla Deewana. If you’re a fan of the Deols and you enjoy old-fashioned masala entertainers, give it a chance. But the Deols can do better than this!
