Tum Bin 2
2016 · India · Nov 2016
Tum Bin 2 is a decent love story but has nothing new to offer. Anubhav Sinha has made a good attempt to tell a beautiful tale again, but couldn't live up to our expectations. But for this weekend, Tum Bin 2 could be a nice option to watch if you are not suckers for action (Force 2) or adventure (Fantastic Beasts).
The Girl on the Train
2016 · India · Oct 2016
For lovers of thrillers that unfold slowly, for people who don't rush for the popcorn or their mobile phone while watching a movie in a theatre, The Girl on the Train is a wonderful watch.
Mirzya
2016 · India · Oct 2016
Go for Mirzya if you must. Go if you love grand settings and are a sucker for tragic love stories! But do not expect miracles. The key is to keep your expectations at the lowest.
Pink
2016 · India · Sep 2016
Pink is a powerful film that may well hammer in the message once and for all – a girl's clothing or mannerisms, or her habits such as drinking are in no way an indicator that she is available! More importantly, when she says NO, it means a definite NO. Do not attempt to touch her without consent, even if she is your wife or girlfriend or even a sex worker. This film should be watched by men for sure.
Rustom
2016 · India · Aug 2016
Rustom is a compelling courtroom drama, something which will help Akshay Kumar in his upcoming Jolly LLB 2 where he will be playing a lawyer. Akshay Kumar has truly delivered an award-winning and nuanced performance. Watch the film for him!
Ice Age: Collision Course
2016 · India · Jul 2016
ce Age: Collision Course is a very average watch and doesn't quite make its place into your heart.
Fan
2016 · India · Apr 2016
FAN will drag in the first half, but it's in the second half that the thrills come. The climax is a lesson in itself for fans! Bravo, one would say to the superstar Aryan Khanna to his last act. It's a good one-time watch for people who are not SRK fans, but, well, for the die-hard fans – this is their movie!
Zubaan
2016 · India · Mar 2016
The film does not quite deliver as an overall experience. But the performances by Meghna Malik, Manish Chaudhari, Raghav Chanana, Vicky Kaushal and Sarah-Jane Dias are well worth it.
Dilwale
2015 · India · Dec 2015
Dilwale is what you call a paisa vasool family entertainer that you can sit back and enjoy with your caramel and cheese popcorn and cola. The film may also have repeat value among youngsters, who probably will not view the opulent historical Bajirao Mastani more than once (maybe some will).
Harishchandrachi Factory
2009 · IBNLive · May 2015
Mokashi could've easily succumbed to making a documentary style biopic based on Dadasaheb (Dhundiraj) Phalke's life, a man credited with being the father of Indian cinema. Instead, the director goes in for ample doses of subtle humour used at the right moments to make the film amusing for the audience – much in the same way a story is narrated to a wide-eyed child. And none of it is fiction, as all incidents have been taken from the stalwart's life.
My Name Is Khan
2010 · IBNLive · Oct 2014
One of the important films of Hindi cinema. Although it messes up its length, there are some touching scenes not to be missed. My Name is Khan has many messages and not just an 'Autism Alert' and 'Terror Alert'. Go for it and enjoy interpreting.
When Hari Got Married
2013 · Bollywood Life · Aug 2013
When Hari Got Married is the great Indian wedding story, all right. But it's not like a full-on masala Bollywood film. Neither is it a boring documentary or sluggish travel channel feature. It's a real-life story that is engaging enough for you to sit through the entire one-and-a-half hours, and applaud. It's nicely packaged and not overly refined – just like the bride's (thankfully) minimal facial makeup!
