Sonia Chopra's Film Reviews
-
I suspect the audience may not care for such details. Most will be there to take in the star-studded cast, the visual splendor and laugh on the silly jokes. And Farah Khan delivers on all three counts. Ignore the fundamentals, and watch it for the fun.
-
The film, directed by Navneet Behal, gives the viewer nothing new. One wonders the purpose of making a crime film (we recently saw Desi Kattey, again titled after guns), that the viewer has seen a hundred times already. Curious, really!
-
Despite its flaws, the film is highly recommended for characters that stay with you long after the film has ended, actors who bring them alive with such sincerity, a unique story, and some heartfelt humour!
-
But the film ends as badly as it started, saved by the lead actors-cavorting-in sexy wear song at the end credits. Most people hung around for that and left swooning about the beauty of the lead actors. If you’re content doing that, plus enjoying a few over-the-top stunts, book your ticket.
-
Bhardwaj and co-writer Basharat Peer (who authored the book Curfewed Night based on the Kashmir conflict) give us a film that leaves you in its spell long after. And if you can overlook certain blemishes, you’ll be happy to be mesmerized!
-
If you’re interested in yet another mediocre UP movie about petty criminals, this is your pick.
-
Director Vishal Mahadkar gives us a film, an amalgamation of so many horror films, which in the end is neither completely original nor spooky. Venture in only if you’re not a hardcore horror fan.
-
Soha Ali Khan is the brightest spot in the movie, with her earnest performance. But she can do only so much to salvage the film. Ditto veteran actors Zakir Hussain, Seema Biswas and Mukesh Tiwari, and the adorable child actors. This could have been a better movie with more conviction and imagination.
-
Writer-director Habib Faisal (Do Dooni Chaar, Ishaqzaade) attempts a foodie rom-com with a well-intentioned message. Perhaps it’s too much to put into one film, and all you get is undercooked, bland biryani, where the flavours clash instead of complementing each other.
-
This film has little of the gentle nuance of the Hrishikesh Mukherjee-directed original, but it’s still pretty good fun. This Bollywood-Disney fairytale combo is worth a shot!
