Samrudhi Gosh's Film Reviews

Luka Chuppi, starring Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon, will not blow your mind, but is a good watch if you are looking for something fun this weekend…
-
No one does masala films like Rohit Shetty. But when he decides to infuse a moral lecture into the mix, that is where a film falters. Simmba suffers from the same curse.
-
Stree has its flaws, but is one of the better horror comedies to come out of the Bollywood stable in recent times. Watch the film for its satire and stellar performances.
-
It is not child’s play to make a biopic, particularly on someone whose life has been splashed all over the tabloids, in excruciating detail. Given the kind of biopics we have seen in commercial mainstream Bollywood so far, Sanju has definitely raised the bar. Watch Sanju for Ranbir Kapoor, Rajkumar Hirani, the laughs, the tears… in a nutshell, everything.
-
Rani Mukerji is delightful as the enthusiastic teacher with a never-say-die spirit. Hichki rests on her shoulders and she does not let it falter. Her playful camaraderie with her brother (Hussain Dalal in a charming role) is genuine and one of the more enjoyable parts of the film.
-
Although the identity of the informer remains a mystery till the end, it is no secret how Raid will end. But the rivetting battle between Ajay Devgn and Saurabh Shukla makes the journey to the finish worth your while.
-
There is a slight touch of humour at the expense of the Mumbai police, that is quite enjoyable. But it is the mystery at the centre of the story that is the true winner of the film.
-
After Nil Battey Sannata, director Ashwini Iyer Tiwari brings us another engaging watch. There is no dull moment in the film. Light and fluffy, Bareilly Ki Barfi is no heavy seven-course meal, but it is quite the delicious dessert.
-
What works for the film is the hinterland humour. In an elaborate sequence, Akshay Kumar’s character gets married to a buffalo to get rid of his “manglik dosh”. It is the laughs which take away your unease about the length of the two-and-a-half-hour-long film.

If you’re looking for your usual superhero origin story, Spider-Man: Homecoming is not the film for you. But if you don’t mind a refreshingly funny reboot that wanders into the high school comedy zone, director Jon Watts delivers a film worth your while.
