Watch this movie if you have the appetite and sense to digest certain gritty, uncomfortable realities. Not often do we get the opportunity to watch a relevant movie that depicts the times we live in, with unblinking directness. But if you think movies are just about shallow entertainment, and truth makes you uncomfortable, then don’t bother.

If you are an Akshay Kumar fan and appreciate his comic timing, watch this one. But if action is not your favourite genre, you have the full danger of coming out feeling as battered and beaten as one of those innumerable goons in the film.

If there is a sole reason to watch this film, it is Naseeruddin Shah.

More whimpering than a roar, this movie unfortunately induced yawns instead of any feeling of rebellion.

Watch this one as it takes you back to a horrid chapter of our political history and makes you think.

Akshay playing an unapologetically bad man sounds like a fantastic idea, only if there was better direction and a script to back it. What a waste.

Well, if you leave logic and some of your education behind, Chennai Express manages to get some chuckles out of you, keeps you entertained for part of it and also makes you sheepishly want to be silly and dance to the Lungi song. That’s most of the battle won in this country, isn’t it? Frontbenchers, rejoice.

Once in a while comes a film that manages to make you squirm in your seats from the word go. As soon as Arshad Warsi walks into this movie and starts spouting wisdom about male testosterone and how men have to have enough practice to keep their wives ‘satisfied’, I wanted to run away as far as possible from him, his ilk and this movie.

Once in a while comes a film like this one, which along with shaking your core, also manages to make you grateful for being a humble part of the audience. ‘Ship of Theseus’ is one such rare film.

Nikhil Advani’s taut direction of this film, keeps you hooked throughout, just once in a while letting you off the hook to gasp and breathe. While the fast paced action keeps you on the edge, what comes as a relief is that even the romantic portions between Rudra Pratap Singh and a sex worker (Shruti Hassan), who he’s cooped with to hide his identity, are tender, sensititve and original.
