Top Rated Films
Rakesh Jha's Film Reviews
-
Zubaan may not be a very gripping experience as it demands patience but the film is definitely rewarding in parts.
-
Though, TBL-2 has retained most the crew but with its lumpen storyline it fails to recreate the magic of its prequel.
-
Fitoor could have been a grand, epic romance with its visual deftness, opulent sets and soulful music but the characters and story both fall short of delivering what they were expected to.
-
Watch Mastizaade only if you have a taste for films based on adult themes that do have anything substantial to offer in terms of any other crucial aspects of entertainment. As for Sunny fans, there isn’t much to say anyways, is there?
-
The film is replete with enforced comic moments that may tickle your funny bone at times but mostly makes it a struggle to watch.
-
Both Zarine and Daisy were supposed to make the film a sleaze-fest, but their acting only contributed in making Hate Story a snooze-fest. However, Zarine takes the cake as the most wooden performer of the film despite the fact that it is she who will draw crowd to theatres.
-
Despite its lows, Salman shines as Prem; it is his character that makes the film fairly watchable. For Sonam Kapoor, she has been decorated well and is an unmissable part of set design. More than Sonam, it’s Salman’s chemistry with Anupam Kher that is one of the high points of the film.
-
With the kind of technical support it got, Shaandaar would have been a much better film if it had resisted the temptation of being too offbeat.
-
PKP-2 could be an eyesore for the feminist brigade as the film has unabashedly taken side and is totally unapologetic about its misogynistic tone.
-
What could have been a powerful human drama is diluted by over the top performances, incoherent storytelling and an overblown script.
