NH10

NH10

2015 · India Today · Mar 2015

NH10 is also a cry of protest against patriarchy. The mindset that is prevalent in both men and women... Do watch this film. This film will give you a fear - fear that teaches you something, that gives you courage.

If you want to sleep through the film, then Roy is waiting for you but if you go by my suggestion.. then it's a big NO.

Rahasya

Rahasya

2015 · India Today · Jan 2015

Despite the length of the film, director Manish Gupta has maintained the pace of Rahasya. His hold on the camera and the script are quite evident throughout the film. If you are interested in murder mystery, then do go watch Rahasya.

Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene

2015 · India Today · Jan 2015

If you are looking for a concoction of action, romance and humour in small dozes, then the Sharafat Gayi Tel Lene is a perfect average time pass for you.

Tevar

Tevar

2015 · India Today · Jan 2015

The film becomes a watch because of it's power packed dialogues written by Shantanu Shrivastava. If given a choice between friends and family, we suggest you go with your friends to watch this flick. Tevar is a one time watch.

PK

PK

2014 · India Today · Dec 2014

PK attempts to question narrow-minded rules and opinions of religious heads and the very definitions with which we segregate one from another. Crisp and crackling PK redefines the term - 'healthy entertainment'. This is Aamir's best performance till date. Anushka fits the bill as Jaggu. Sushant Singh Rajput proves his mettle as loverboy yet again. Saurabh Shukla and Boman Irani are delightful. Sanjay Dutt does a great job as Bhairon Singh.

Happy Ending

Happy Ending

2014 · India Today · Nov 2014

The title of the film does not justify its ending. It is too predictable and falls flat in the end. You can watch the film if witty comedies entertain you. Another reason to watch the film is Govinda, Ranveer and Kalki. All in all, it is an average film with not so happy ending.

The Shaukeens

The Shaukeens

2014 · India Today · Nov 2014

Abhishek Sharma, who gave us the delightful Tere Bin Laden, does a great job with The Shukeens too. The film, despite its theme does not get crass or vulgar even once, which is why it will get a larger audience.

Roar

Roar

2014 · India Today · Nov 2014

At times the film looks like an extension of Save Tiger campaign. Story of the film is weak. Roar may be a good attempt but director Kamal Sadanah shouldn't expect accolades yet. If you enjoy films like Anaconda, then go for it. Roar might just heal your wounds inflicted by Happy New Year.

Sonali Cable

Identity Card

2014 · India Today · Aug 2014

Identity Card, attempts to engage itself with the burning issue of Kashmir, but falls flat. The film is riddled with poor acting, bad script and half-hearted attempt by director Rahat Kazmi....In all, Identity Card is lost in a muddle.

Mardaani

Mardaani

2014 · India Today · Aug 2014

This film deserves to be seen - for Rani's and Tahir Bhasin's acting; to learn about the ugly truth that is human trafficking; and for the brilliant portrayal of a lady cop's true grit.

Singham Returns

Singham Returns

2014 · India Today · Aug 2014

Be that as it may, the film fails to match up to the original. Where Singham meant solid action and sound comedy, Singham returns is action, yes, but the comedy here fails to impress.

Fugly

2014 · India Today · Jun 2014

The film's songs are a hit but you don't need to go to theatres to listen to them. If you are a die hard fan of Haryanvi humour, youth appeal and young face then only go for this movie otherwise sit at home and ask "Ye Fugly Fugly Kya Hai".

2014 · India Today · Jun 2014

The film has a perfect balance of humour, seriousness and emotions. The film beautifully defines the relationship between India and Pakistan and forces us to re-think about the baselessness of our sour bi-lateral relations.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects

2014 · India Today · Feb 2014

The movie was a well thought-out project. The dialogues and plot are fresh. But by the second half, the movie drags a lot. Goes without saying that the good actors that they are, Farhan Akhtar and Vidya Balan seemed to do a good job. The movie is a good attempt. Watch it if you're married. Or otherwise, to learn.

Babloo Happy Hai

Babloo Happy Hai

2014 · India Today · Feb 2014

Babloo Happy Hai is an attempt to be 'cool'. And when the movie switches tracks, it almost seems like a docu-drama than anything else. Sachin Chauhan, the man behind the dialogues unfortunately does a sad job here, given he wrote dialogues for movies like 'I am Kalam', 'Paan Singh Tomar', and 'Saahib, Biwi Aur Gulam'. The truth of the matter is that Babloo may be happy, but the audience won't be.

Jai Ho

Salman's close friend Aamir Khan had aptly said in Agenda Aaj Tak that Salman Khan is the only star in Bollywood. Whatever antics he does in his films from tearing off his shirt to wearing inverted glasses, everything becomes a fad.

Gori Tere Pyaar Mein

2013 · India Today · Nov 2013

All in all, the story is weak. Direction is poor too. Had Puneet stuck to a different kind of film perhaps, one that catered more to generation Z's rich tastes, then that film would've definitely fared better.Watch the movie if you have to, if you like to watch big stars on the big screen. For the rest, skipping this movie would be a wise decision.
