The film ultimately works only for its actors but most do not get to flex their talent in a script that is trying to tell too many things at the same time.
Naam Shabana
2017 · IBNLive · Mar 2017
Naam Shabana is well intended but is unable to take flight due to poor writing.
Jolly LLB 2
2017 · IBNLive · Feb 2017
Jolly LLB 2 is based on the same format of its prequel, it works well. It lacks the surprise element that the first part had, it is not that cleverly written as well, yet Jolly LLB 2 manages to engage viewers and gives Kumar ample scope to perform. And he doesn't disappoint.

Even if we ignored the factual inaccuracies- and those are plenty- the film doesn't really give us anything new. It's not a film based on history, it's not a full-fledged love story, neither a political drama- it remains a half-baked story – a story that we are all very familiar with.
Bridge of Spies
2015 · IBNLive · Oct 2015
'Bridge Of Spies' is a film which needs the viewers' attention- especially if you are not well versed with history of Cold War. Many things are left for the viewers to understand- the director takes that liberty is assuming that everyone has done their homework well. On several occasions as a viewer one might feel too many characters are being introduced and too many intricacies exist in the plot line. Watch it for the charming Tom Hanks- no character is alien to this actor. He makes it the most endearing – as always.
Meeruthiya Gangsters
2015 · IBNLive · Sep 2015
the film falters primarily because of a very wobbly narrative which keeps introducing too many characters, too many sub plots till the end. The film's climax has zero build up and you almost know how it is all going to end.
Ugly
2014 · IBNLive · Dec 2014
Anurag Kashyap's 'Ugly' with make you laugh at some of the irrelevance, it will make you cringe at the blood and gore, it will leave you disturbed even but more importantly it will make you think. And that's why you should watch it.
Zed Plus
2014 · IBNLive · Nov 2014
The film isn't bad, it is definitely not unwatchable- but with actors like Adil Hussain, KK Raina playing key roles, one hoped to be awestruck or overwhelmed. Sadly, 'Zed Plus' doesn't leave you with any such feeling.
Gang of Ghosts
2014 · IBNLive · Mar 2014
... a typical example of how some films should remain untouched and not be remade because it loses its authentic flavour. Go watch the original film in Bengali instead- it comes with English sub titles and even those translated lines are better than the dialogues of this remake.
Shortcut Romeo
2013 · IBNLive · Jun 2013
Watch it only if you have no other movie to watch this weekend. I'd rather suggest you to stay at home, actually.
The Reluctant Fundamentalist
2013 · IBNLive · May 2013
In spite of its relevance in today's time, the film's pace and lack of emotional connect makes Mira Nair's latest film a tad disappointing.
Talaash
2012 · Zee News · Mar 2013
Watch it for the story. That is the actual hero of the film. The brilliant actors are just an icing on the cake.
Makkhi
2012 · Zee News · Dec 2012
Watch it for its uniqueness. The new age hero of Indian cinema will not disappoint you – in fact it will make you think twice before you swat that irritating fly hovering over your nose.
