Most Divergent Takes

Padmaavat

Padmaavat

2018 · Rediff · Jan 2018

You want a story. You want good dialogue, not the corny words you are hearing. You want an emotional connect. You want a tighter film. Sadly, with Padmaavat, that's not what you get.

Running Shaadi

Running Shaadi

2017 · Rediff · Feb 2017

Running Shaadi with the tackily beeped out dot.com gets 1 star, while Brijendra Kala (who plays Sadh's maternal uncle) and Jha add half a star more.

Madaari

Madaari

2016 · Rediff · Jul 2016

Madaari is not a film that will stay with you as you, in your day to day routine, succumb to the pressure and become part of the corruption that ails our system...

Mohabbatein

Mohabbatein

2000 · Rediff · Nov 2015

It's a mish-mash alright. But it is also a successful, feelgood film. You'll enjoy yourself as you watch it. Never mind that you'll most probably forget it soon after you leave the darkened environs. And, hey, don't forget to take the hankies along.

Talvar

Talvar

2015 · Rediff · Oct 2015

More than anything else, what Meghna Gulzar's Talvar does is bring home that horrifying reality -- that the life you knew could, in a blink, get flushed down the toilet, like an 'alleged' murder weapon maybe, never to be seen again.

Gulaab Gang

Gulaab Gang

2014 · Rediff · Mar 2014

The confrontations between Rajjo and Sumitra Devi should have been impactful, with the resounding echo when two strong personalities clash. Sadly, they don't. These are major drawbacks that bring down a potentially good film.

Mai

Mai

2013 · Rediff · Mar 2013

Asha Bhosle's effort in Mai is applause-worthy.

No One Killed Jessica

No One Killed Jessica

2011 · Rediff · Nov 2012

The script could have been more nuanced; some of the casting could have been better; the final product, for want a better word, could have been 'more finished.' And these desires only crop up because the film is helmed by the highly capable Raj Kumar Gupta.

Jodi Breakers

Jodi Breakers

2012 · Rediff · Nov 2012

It won't be a happily after ever at the box office because Jodi Breakers, a film that had a lot of potential, is seriously flawed. There could have been comedy, there could have been romance, there could have been moments that make you go Awwww!
