Renuka Vyavahare's Film Reviews
-
The major issue with this movie is the fact that it borrows heavily from films like Chupke Chupke, Golmaal and Seeta Aur Geeta. Even if we ignore the lack of originality, the formula that worked in the 1970’s looks way too outdated for today. Besides, those films had a solid script and some great comic timing.
-
The events seem way too convenient, implausible and far-fetched for one’s liking, given the sensitivity of the situation. We understand it’s a comedy and so the wishful thinking, but a little authenticity would have helped. Also, why the cliches? Making media and politicians the butt of all jokes has been done to death.

If you are fine with seeing Diana as the ‘needy’ woman solely looking for love, living in suffocating secrecy, you may like the film. If you expect to revisit the aura of mystery surrounding her, you will be disappointed.
-
More than the city, Prague, the film, is about Chandan’s psychological struggle, haunting past and inconsistent behaviour. It’s not for everyone. However, if you prefer unconventional, mysterious drama over mainstream entertainment, Prague will engage you.
-
We like Vikram Bhatt’s brand of horror but this Horror Story was more silly than scary.
-
John Day initially gives an impression that it’s all about decoding a puzzle or unravelling a mystery at breakneck speed. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. It’s gripping but like the characters, the plot is way too ambiguous, deceitful and tedious for your liking.
-
Riddick solely relies on the bald & beefy Diesel’s macho appearance and deep-raspy voice. No effort has gone into penning a substantial screenplay or making the visual effects look better. Dark visuals of barren, lifeless planet fail to create the desired impact. Nothing really instills fear.
-
Jobs is an ambitious but an incomplete effort. It’s ‘not bad’ but that’s certainly not what Steve Jobs stood for.
-
Planes has its share of fun moments but is underwhelming, especially when compared to the kind of animation films that are being made today.
-
Don’t go expecting a solid comedy and you won’t be disappointed.
