Sachin Chatte's Film Reviews
-
…sadly, it has nothing new to contribute to the original film. Haunted houses, creaking doors, strange noises in the middle of the night, and scary looking toys in the attics – all this has been done to death in horror films over the years. Poltergeist gives us more of the same.
-
There is no subtlety whatsoever in conveying the message everything is hammered and hammered hard. The background music is ear drum shattering and the dialogues are cringe worthy.
Not quite sure which was more embarrassing – Shurti Hassan’s character or her acting. Akshay Kumar tries his best to provide a silver lining but the cloud is as dark as a black hole.
-
Mr. X has been promoted as a science fiction and action film. Be assured, there is no science, no fiction, as for the action, you can give it a miss too.
Devoid of any logic or common sense, the screenplay treats its audience as someone who has a single digit I.Q. It appears more like a project to test how much ludicrousness the viewers can take.
-
The actors are in top form – Paresh Rawal is a seasoned actor and Annu Kapoor gives him good company. Nasseruddin Shah does justice to his flamboyant character. All said and seen, Dharam Sankat Mein deals with an important subject and nevermind if it is not entirely satisfying, it is still is a positive step towards better cinema.
-
Sunny Leone tries to be earnest but her performance is cringe worthy – they should hand over the Razzie and a Golden Kela to her right away.
Leela the mystery is a disappointment, on every count.
-
Since they don’t have much of a plot anyway, come 2035 and I can see Fast and Furious 16 hitting the screens. In this franchise, the villain is merely an excuse for some car porn and Furious 7 is no different. The only dissimilarity would be the emotional factor, since this is actor Paul Walkers last outing.
-
From the director of Taken, you would expect a taut thriller given the subject of the film, but Pierre Morel doesn’t quite manage to pull this one off. Yes, there are a few thrills occasionally but as a cohesive film it barely makes the cut.
-
The writing and direction both are uninspired and while some of Chan’s action is fun to watch, there is a lot of clunky dialogue as well that could put you to sleep. John Cusack and Adrien Brody are both miscast although the latter tries hard to appear wicked.
Dragon Blade is a disappointment for Jackie Chan fans; you are better off watching a re-run of his older films.
-
To even understand the basics of this film, you need to be familiar with either the book or the first film otherwise you’ll be as lost as a man who has discovered that he has lost his wallet. The concept of various factions, depending on their skills was quite fascinating in Divergent but there isn’t much originality here. Watch it only if you are a fan of the series.

Hunterrr belongs to that very rare genre in Bollywood of sex comedies and we are not talking of the ones with cheap jokes and double entendres. Hunterrr in many ways goes for the jugular and succeeds to some extent. While it is a novel effort of sorts, it fails in getting the basic right – such films have to be crisp, to the point and should not overstay their welcome, the final stretch of this debut film by Harshvardhan Kulkarni drags on.
