The film exhorts the values of helping other people but it is repeated till the cows come home. Here’s my humble way of helping others- avoid this film and save your money. And please spread the word.

While it is not an edge of the seat thriller, for most parts it keeps you interested. The plot is predictable and there are no surprises in store here.

On the whole, it is a watchable action thriller.

American Hustle may not be a classic as the awards and nominations suggest but it is still an entertaining enterprise.

If you haven’t seen Palma film, you can sit through this one but just about.

There is another Hercules film in the offing this year (The Thracian Wars) but hopefully the worse in behind us. The Legend of Hercules is one of those films where if you sleep through for most parts, you won’t miss much. The good thing is, it offers considerable hope to insomniacs.

Nawazuddin Siddique has already carved a niche for himself and here, he has added so much more to his character than perhaps what the screenplay suggested.

For those who like discerning cinema, Miss Lovely beckons you to the theatre.

The only reason you might want to watch the film is because of the two lead actors. And if you do, make sure you stay till the end credits roll, the best part of the film, a cameo, is during the credits.

The story is regressive, silly and just about everything in the film looks fake, including the acting. The only one I felt sorry for was Deepti Naval. Surely, she deserves better than this. And so do we.

The writers have also pushed the envelope as far as portraying the relationship between the two prime characters is concerned. For those interested in poetry, there is a lot to appreciate here, especially the many verses of Dr. Basheer Badr.

Dedh Ishqiya is sight for sore eyes. Go for it.

It takes a while to figure out the direction in which the film is going. But once that is clear, there aren’t too many surprises left. So all you have to do is enjoy the gorgeous landscapes because there is precious little otherwise as far as the story is concerned, which takes it self a bit too seriously.
