…has a very simple story at the heart of it, but it is the manner in which it is told that leaves an indelible impression. It celebrates love, life and serves a reminder of the ultimate fate that awaits all of us.

Establishing the characters has been a major issue with recent super hero films, they all have been walking on the road much travelled. Mercifully, the tone of Ant-man is on the lighter side with jokes coming in every now and then. To be fair, it hits a few roadblocks but delivers the goods in the end.

To put it plainly, Bajrangi Bhaijaan is the best Salman Khan film by light years. Or conversely, it is an above average film in which Salman Khan happens to participate. Be that as it may, the film scores highly on the emotional quotient in good old Bollywood fashion. Full credit goes to director Kabir Khan who pulls off a rabbit from the hat.

Minions works because there is enough slapstick comedy to entertain the kids and lots of cultural references to keep the adults amused. The emotions maybe a little less but the laughs are few more. The central characters help the film sail through, they are clumsy and silly but in a smart way.

Rajamouli clearly has an eye for strong visuals, take the rain soaked action scene for instance, there is some terrific style on display there. Where he falters is when he decides to go by the book and does something commonplace like item numbers.

The science gets a little more complex with references like parallel timelines but everything else that could have been explored involving Sarah, John, T1000 and Skynet has been done before. On the surface you might get the gist of it but to get to the minutiae, you will have to scratch your head to figure out the exact sequence of events.

Directed by debutante Avinash Arun who is also a cinematographer, the film is a nostalgic trip down the memory – you will cheer, you will laugh and you will also feel a lump in your throat during the course of the film. Everyone will relate to the characters, especially the children and their days of innocence…Among other things, Killa reminds us that the best things in life are indeed free.

Pixars latest film has an idea which is as original as it can get. Much like the other films by Docter, this is also about relationships and human psychology, in this case, a child’s. But that itself could teach adults a thing or two about how we look at children and also ourselves. It is not often that a film can influence the way you think but to its remarkable credibility, Inside Out manages to do that.

Trevorrow does well to pull it off by keeping it simple. Time and again, the film also pays a tribute to the original, the rear view mirror shot being one of them. In toto, Jurassic Park delivers what it promises.

Dwayne Johnson has a limited range of expressions but he always uses them well and there is always something very sincere about his acting that makes him likable. On the whole, San Andreas proves that it is indeed a marvel as to what they can do with computers these days.
