…salutes the man who walked a unique path, almost as if he were destined. Powerful, engaging and thought-provoking, the film does full justice to the man and his extraordinary life. Watch!

This is one film that’s completely critic-proof. Vacations are upon us, and in the gaping abyss that is the lack of children’s films, arrives this somewhat entertaining film with star-value.

As a social commentary, the film succeeds only intermittently, and is not as complex and effective as last year’s Shanghai. There are other ambiguous points in the film. But here’s the thing: you ought to watch the film.

I Am Kalam is yet another superlative children’s film this year. Go watch this hearty film that lingers with you long after.

Indeed it is refreshing to see a film about weddings that is neither loud nor preaching customs and archaic traditions. Instead, Sharma brings us a reflection of evolving India that still loves its shaadis and all the drama that comes with it…a bright, dancy, feel-good movie that doesn’t insult your intelligence. What’s not to like?

Debut writer-director Abhishek Sharma gives the audience a fresh, wicked comedy, that’s unapologetically defiant. Now either you can frown at the political incorrectness of it all, or laugh along with the audacious humour.

For the cheeky comedy that often laughs at itself and largely for Imran Khan, this is a likely weekend treat, served sizzling hot.

So you have a film comprising elements its title aptly pronounces. Savour these stories told in a distinct edgy, kitschy style. Don’t miss..

3 Idiots is a film that appears borrowed from too many sources and the haphazardness shows. Editor-director Rajkumar Hirani can’t seem to shake Munnabhai out of his system and appears to have replaced the actor and the setting, while retaining the core formula. Unfortunately, 3 Idiots lacks the effortless simplicity, sweetness and honesty of the Munnabhai films. Though a bit too calculated and designed, 3 Idiots is still an ok option for the significant message, interesting cast and scattered breezy moments.

Some might fear Paa would be a depressing, melodramatic film or a shadow of 2005’s heavily emotional Black. It’s not, and neither does it have any link to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button…R Balki outdoes himself with a film that’s intelligent, entertaining and visually arresting.

It’s indeed a pleasure presenting four stars to a film after years. You don’t want to miss this one.
