Nikhil Advani is no Subhash Ghai when it comes to handling potboilers. Hero is a botched up film in effort to provide two reasonably good star kids a launch pad.

Manjhi might not be a great film, it is a great story. It is a story that deserves to be seen; to be known by people all across.

Brothers could have worked better with better editing and lesser of the forced melodrama. What it becomes is a lackluster piece of cinema despite some very hard work put in by the actors.

Karan and his team fail to create a screenplay that engages. They did have a grand idea. Karan fails to transform that into a convicting film. And oh the climax… so avoidable! Tragedy!

Miss Tanakpur Haazir Ho should have been a much better film, if not let down by writing. The direction however is at par with any other good work. There is no solution preached. But no solid statement made either.

Regrettably the film turns out to be a way short of what is expected of Anurag Kashyap. At its best Bombay Velvet is a superficial, average attempt at an entertainer.
