While the film is undoubtedly better than the previous instalment, it’s not an out-and-out comedy as one would expect it to be. The jokes don’t come in as often and they aren’t as raunchy.

Its sensitive yet unsubtle narrative succeeds at retaining the book’s ambiguity, as well as raising pertinent questions on Islamic fundamentalism, emigration and USA’s interference in Pakistan. Nair captures the finer nuances of the thought-provoking tale with great conviction.

The film tries too hard to cater to the young generation and their dilemmas. The narrative keeps beating around the bush for way too long.

There are no unnecessary characters. Songs take the story forward and add to the fun. The epic war towards the end too is nicely executed. Most importantly, the animation quality is way better than its Indian contemporaries.

Songs take the film forward instead of simply adding to its length. Overall, Shree is a well-scripted thriller. Go for it.

From the jaw-dropping attack on Stark’s Malibu estate, his brand-new prehensile armour, to a mind-blowing airborne rescue scene, Iron Man 3 is every bit the superhero blockbuster you’d expect it to be. Just do not leave the theatre once the closing credits start rolling!

As the film ends, you wonder if the filmmaker justifies adultery, prostitution and exploitation of women in general, including the casting couch. You also wonder if there is an underlying message in the film, which hints that a woman needs to sleep around to get ahead in life! The lewdness in dialogues and scenes puts you off.

Aatma may not send shivers down your spine, but it dares to be unconventional.

Don’t expect an out-and-out comedy, the film is a light-hearted family entertainer with a message for the youth. Do take your dad along for it, in his gaddi!

The film has some poignant moments, especially when the old father fears humiliation if they’re caught and Puttan speaking his heart out on how inflation affects the middle class. We however wish there was no love track that involves Gopal. The film also becomes a tad theatrical and preachy in portions. Performance-wise, the film stays flawless.
