-
…is consistently engaging, and a film to be enjoyed on the big screen. It is a blockbuster in every sense of the word, offering big thrills and moments of great awe and wonder, yet it’s smart and full of feeling too.
-
…comes peppered with smart dialogue, and filled with genuine affection for a cinematic blockbuster that it repeatedly references…but with flair. Watch it for Varun and Alia, who’re crackling in it!
-
Smart, caustic, funny, this love story will bring you to tears…Take along some tissues and prepare to be manipulated.
-
…isn’t even a satisfying rom-com about squabbling lovers. The humor is consistently juvenile, the climax so obvious you’ve guessed it long before it arrives, and the dialogue phoney despite being peppered with modern-day slang. You’ll be bored out of your mind.
-
Whether goofing off with her motley bunch of accomplices, or making an impassioned plea to her stubborn father, Vidya is consistently watchable without ever hogging your attention away from the story.
It’s a shame then that she’s let down by the very script itself, which — despite raising important questions about gender equality, financial independence of women, and parental obsession with marriage – fizzles out post-intermission. It needed more humor and more meat, but Vidya Balan comes out tops again. -
Like the previous films, this fourth installment is beset with script holes, clunky dialogue, hammy acting, and the overconfidence of a director who doesn’t know when to stop. But for fans of the same noisy but vacuous spectacle that these films have come to represent, ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’ is actually a step up from the last film.
-
It’s a shame then that despite the uniformly impressive performances, and Suri’s nifty directing skills, the film is only moderately fulfilling. If you’re still wondering, the real villain here is the lousy script.
-
It’s simple, but like good cooking, there’s love gone into it.
-
… essentially a tasteless, overblown affair that plods on for 159 brain-numbing minutes. I’m going with half out of five, yes just half out of five, for Sajid Khan’s ‘Humshakals’. I’ve never had one, but I imagine a ruptured appendix would hurt less.

If you’re having trouble sleeping lately, this is just the cure you needed!
