Even though it is a formula based predictable film, Home has its moments. An action set piece on the Eiffel tower is remarkably well executed and on the animation front, the color changing Boov’s add more flavour to the visuals. The Boov way of speaking English is a reminiscent of Yoda’s and perhaps it is done to target the adult audiences.
On the whole, Home will make you feel at home at the cinemas.

…the setting of Calcutta in the 1940’s, the detailing that has gone into it, the ambience, costumes, lighting, camerawork and the overall production values are absolutely top class., there is no two ways about that. It is as real and as good as a period drama can get…but on a downbeat note, the focus in Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! is only on the grandeur of the scenes with very little going for it in terms of the story.

Who would have thought that Liam Neeson will become an action hero of this mould in this phase of his career? The 62 year old may not have the six packs and the built of someone who can beat a dozen guys to pulp yet, post Taken (2008) most of his action films have made to the ‘entertaining’ grade and Run All Night is no different.
-
When it comes to an enjoyable time at the cinemas, The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is second to none.
-
Even after all the years, the story has considerable appeal, after all the good versus evil tales will never go out of fashion. The production values are the best that money can buy adding that extra factor to the visuals.
Overall, Cinderella is an enjoyable tale for children and adults alike.
-
Focus is one of those con movies which occasionally tries to get too clever for its own good. If you are focused enough, there are many points which strike you instantly while the others come later. If you can ignore them, then this Glenn Ficarra, John Requa venture is entertaining enough.
-
The thing about Blomkamp is that he always throws interesting ideas. Even though Chappie has a very Robocop like base to its story (with a bit of Transcendence thrown in), yet when I walked out of the theatre after two hours, there was a feeling of satisfaction.

Singh keeps you on the edge of the seat throughout the film, and the story cuts to the chase right from the word go. Sure there are some loopholes in the plot but you are willing to forgive them because the film is under two hours and for large parts it is crisp. The violence is unflinching and that makes the events even more effective.
-
There is a lot of swearing (hence the adult certificate) although that could have easily been avoided to appeal to a wider audience even without making it like a standard teenage action flick.
Kingsman is your ticket to some harmless entertainment.

This could well be the Queen of 2015. Films from the Yashraj stable have been a mixed bag with more misses than hits, but full credit to them for producing a film that is not run of the mill, this is one of the best films they have made in recent times.
