Brevity is sorely missing as the film could have been shorter. But then, at a time when there’s rampant violence against women, Mardaani gives a glimpse of what should ideally happen.

All in all, it’s not a bad film. Which also means that it could have been lot better given that it has a decent plot to fall back on.

If a visually pleasant film made at low production costs is something that excites you, then Fading Gigolo is what you should watch. If you’re looking for titillation or a boisterous comedy, stay away from this one.

The fact that the film is based on a true story does help it pack a punch. The only trouble is that its knock could have been much harder.

Purani Jeans is certainly no Dil Chahta Hai, but for a film starring fresh faces, it’s a commendable effort.

Kaanchi lacks what Taal had: soul. The film seems to be in an unnecessary hurry and to be fair, its running time shouldn’t have exceeded two hours.

There is enough suspense to keep you glued to your seat. But if it wasn’t for the usual dose of naach-gaana and the same old ‘mafia gimmicks’, this film could have been crisper. The first-half meanders aimlessly while the second half is fast paced.

…is not yawn-inducing but quite entertaining. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s a shoddily-made film that could have been better if it hadn’t blindly followed the same old horror film formula.

This film may have low production values but it tackles a sensitive subject head-on and sends a clear message.

If you’re willing to let go of the fact that it doesn’t really pay attention to detailing and Disney’s real persona, you’ll find this to be a really enjoyable movie.
