The Boy is strange, odd and even awkward but we hope the sequel is truly scary… the real deal.

Heartbreaking, uplifting, liberating…Joy makes you instill faith in your abilities once again. It has that ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’ (2006) feel to it.

Titli is not for the faint-hearted as it not only introduces you but makes you feel a part of the family that gives you the creeps.

In Watney’s iconic style, it’s about ‘scienceing the sh** out of” your nightmares. His unflinching determination and persistence to survive is a story you don’t want to miss. Go for it.

This Singh is silly but cute and endearing. Do not miss his starry entry on the beats of a foot-tapping bhangra number Tung Tung Baje… Akshay Kumar, you are the dude.

While the film does struggle with a slow pace and certain irrelevant characters and scenes that digress from the core subject, this biopic deserves to be seen.

Touted as one of the most expensive films to be made in India, this highly anticipated part one of the two-part period epic, manages to enthrall you with its sheer scale and grandeur. Painstakingly made, paying acute attention to detail for the minutest of sound and visuals, Rajamouli (Eega, Magadheera) , who spent three years making this ambitious film ensures that the larger-than-life execution matches his grandiose vision.

While the romance element clicks, the film doesn’t quite work as a comedy. A few one-liners do make you giggle, but that’s that. In fact, the film works as a drama, especially towards the end. We particularly liked how the film draws parallels with Love in the Time of Cholera. Nonetheless, if you are open to watching an unromantic love story and are obsessed with Chris Evans’ smouldering looks, you won’t mind this unconventional ‘guy flick’ about the bad boy and his forbidden love.

Is AOU better than The Avengers (2012)? It is definitely bigger in scale and there’s a romance brewing, but you miss Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and his humour. If Avengers was a biryani, with all the flavours coming together seamlessly, AOU is a desi thaali, full of scrumptious dishes, but a tad in excess. It’s spectacular, yet can leave you exhausted.

American Sniper is hard-hitting, no doubt, and predominantly a performance-oriented film, where Cooper shines. It isn’t the Clint Eastwood classic you expect it to be, though.
