• While Fury never lulls, it also doesn’t surprise as a war drama, its emotional range rather limited. Nonetheless, the film is a hard reminder that with war leaves many scars, both seen and unseen.

  • The film, at best, seems like Shah Rukh paying a tribute to himself. He paraphrases dialogues of his earlier films. With his ten-pack abs, bronzed face and blond streaks, he goes for an image makeover. He is no longer the quintessential romantic hero but a patriot, a devoted son, a fighter and a leader. For Charlie’s entry, a few of litres of water are wasted. In another entry, nearing the climax, a silhouette of Khan with his arms extended, is set against the backdrop of the Indian flag with chants of “We Want Charlie”. Shah Rukh, you see, is as big as the nation. Ultimately, his film is big on scale and small on ideas.

  • For a sports biopic running at what seems a reasonable length of 2 hours 3 mins, there’re innumerable moments of restlessness in the film. Mary Kom doesn’t have enough to pack a punch.

  • Entertainment is a bagful of boring tricks…The world as they say has really gone to the dogs.

  • Kick is unimaginative and unoriginal…

  • Simply put, comedy never looked this bad. Humshakals is an unforgiveable farce. At one point in the film, Chunky Pandey, whose cameo appearance is forgettable, says, “This is public harassment.” That is the precise sentence we’ll use to describe the experience of seeing this film.

  • Soundarya has stated in interviews that Kochadaiiyaan is her way to immortalize her father. Despite having two Rajinis in the film, she doesn’t succeed as the revenge action drama the film never quite engrosses you.

  • Ultimately, Heropanti becomes all about Shroff’s athletic ability and has little to do with his acting ones.

  • The Xpose is HR’s way of saying he can do everything that Salman Khan, the man who gave him his big break, can do.

    With little merit in the film, we’re more interested in seeing the featurette on the making of the film.

  • Million Dollar Arm keeps you engaged as McCarthy succeeds in peppering the script with a balance of light-hearted and poignant moments. AR Rahman’s score is mishmash, drawing sounds from everywhere leaving the soundtrack with no standout track.
