And as I walked away from Mulk, marvelling at its crackling drama, high emotional quotient, its gritty appeal, whistle-worthy dialogues and politics, after a long time I doffed my hat to Bollywood.

Because when mainstream Bollywood begins to get it right, when it finds the strength to articulate what’s right and wrong in a way that sits with audiences for a long time, there is hope.

Sanjay Dutt’s screen time is too less to feel his presence in the film especially in the first half.

What doesn’t really work here is a somewhat sloppy second half where the plot digresses unnecessarily, with a predictable ending. Also, the character arc of the main antagonist is neither well explained nor deep enough. These shortcomings prevent the movie from being a masterpiece. However, Fallout is a slick action fun with lots to enjoy. And as expected, Tom Cruise really raises the bar of action with this. So if you like thrillers, Fallout is your wet dream.

Ranbir is outstanding in this dishonest film…

It’s like he took the story board session to be a master class in direction.  Forget having the ability to create drama, there isn’t a decent dialogue or scene. And he wastes the only two talents he has — Anil Kapoor and  Saqib Saleem. Worse, he is unable to create even a single Sallu Magic Moment. 

There’s not enough Rajini magic…When Rajini Sir arrives, it’s as if the screen itself folds from both ends to bend down in a respectful namaskaram.

Omerta is an honourable film, but it often looses track of itself as it goes off on tangents so obscure and weak.

Daas Dev is more interested in telling us the story of power, than the story of ishq…

Manu Rishi, who has written the film, has his heart in the right place, but seems to have misplaced his brain.

Watch Beyond the Clouds for Ishaan, watch it for Sharada, and watch it for those flamingos and Chhotu’s little rat.
