Clever filmmakers heavily bank on the curiosity factor that a given incident (in this case, the double murder) generates, but fortunately this film keeps you interested and thrilled through its just about two-hour running time.

Even though records say otherwise, one wants to believe in Vibhu Puri’s fairytale-like story of an Indian being the first to envision and fashion a ‘machine’ that we can fly. With such a background, this had the potential of being a moving, patriotic film.

This premise could have worked wonders, if the director confidently showed the protagonist as the stone hearted, badass woman who cheated men for the pure thrill of it. That Dolly would have been far more convincing than this strange mish mash of a conwoman and Sati Savitri.

The film works on many levels; effective lines, some laced with dead-pan humour, the break-neck pace, near-perfect casting and minimal melodrama.

Made with a humongous budget of Rs 180 crores (worth every penny), ‘I’ is certainly a big screen experience. Watch it to believe it. And yes, watch it for Vikram, not just for the fabulous actor that he’s but also for the fact that he’s literally gone out on a limb for this role.

The best thing about this film is its short duration. Otherwise, it is just a huge disappointment.

‘Tevar’ starts with a handicap. This remake of a 2003 Telugu film, ‘Okkudu’, has a jaded, well-worn story that’s been repeated several times over.
Watch it if you miss those old ’80s masala no-brainers, or if you are an Arjun Kapoor fan.

…must say that this film manages to deeply disturb you, mildly depress you and tag along with you for a long time even after you come out of the theatre. That obviously is Kashyap’s intent.

pk’s script lacks the laugh out loud and memorable moments that Hirani’s earlier films, ‘Munnabhai MBBS’ or ‘3 Idiots’ had, but nevertheless there is a healthy dose of subtle humour which keeps you chuckling once in a while. But its potent dialogues make up for the lack of laughs. That one gripping and extremely effective scene where pk is taking on the shrewd godman (Saurabh Shukla) is alone worth the ticket.

Kabaddi fans might get a little disappointed as you see more melodrama and less of the sport in the second half.
