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.

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.

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.

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.

The horror element is clichéd and Zoe’s back story is the only that adds some spice to the otherwise routine proceedings. The actors do justice to their characters, particularly Olivia Wilde – they needed a better script to back their performance.

More than a decade after Shimit Amin made one of the more memorable gangster films, a deathly dull sequel to it is here. Ab Tak Chhappan 2 merely wants to cash on its predecessor, the underworld had almost taken a backseat then in 2004, but the memories of it still remained fresh due to the havoc it unleashed earlier.
