Shubhra Gupta's Film Reviews
-
John Abraham is efficient and does what he needs to, Tahir Raj Bhasin adds complexity to his character. However, much more was needed to rise above the sluggish script.
-
This Vir Das, Soha Ali Khan film has nothing – neither narrative nor engaging characters—on offer.
-
Mirzya disappoints. Coming from all the talent that’s gathered together for this, that’s even more dispiriting.
-
Despite Sushant Singh Rajput and rest of the cast’s efforts, the film fails because it is not Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s biography, it is his hagiography.
-
Banjo has practically no redeeming features. It is about a NRI musician’s (Nargis Fakhri) search for an original sound which leads her to the banjo artist Tarraat (Riteish Deshmukh) and his rag-tag band, and what happens next.
-
Radhika Apte, Surveen Chawla and Tannishtha Chatterjee’s film is failed by too much violence and unnecessary gloss. Some things are better left to the imagination.
-
The shenanigans of Emraan Hashmi, Gaurav Arora and Kriti Kharbanda are supposed to be scary. What you get instead is unintended humour.
-
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is capable of carrying a film on his own shoulders but the film drowns in its own silliness.
-
Katrina Kaif, Sidharth Malhotra film has all the gloss but no beating heart. Baar baar dekho for this romance? Ha, just wishful thinking.
-
That big cities are empty and soul-less (and Mumbai, Oberoi’s location, is our biggest) is a familiar theme. Oberoi renews it with a couple of good ideas, but doesn’t manage to give us an underneath layer: you are left wanting more, more depth, something that goes beyond the obvious.
But there’s no doubt that Oberoi has an eye. I will be keen to see what she comes up with next.
