Its amusing insights and bold message make PK hit home. Appreciate its truths - which aren't so alien after all.

Happy Ending

Happy Ending

2014 · Times City · Nov 2014

Happy Ending's a fun film with a melodious, modern take on individuals and pyaar. It's an NRI movie that side-steps dilemmas and pain. And it's probably the first Hindi film where the heroine cheekily tells the hero, "Show your boobs!", performed with polished elan. Wrapping Hollywood ribbons on a Bollywood heart, this is a nice ending - and a good start.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year

2014 · Times City · Oct 2014

The story is simple, perched on a lavish canvas - glitzy, glamorous, gorgeous bodies (read: male torso) and with self-deprecating humour which stands out and entertains in parts (a recap of moments from SRK's own films!).

Mary Kom

Mary Kom

2014 · Times City · Sep 2014

But the main reason why Mary Kom appeals is because it doesn't just give you a ringside view of boxing; it leaves you rooting for our sportsmen who have put India on the world map.

Singham Returns

Singham Returns

2014 · Times City · Aug 2014

The plot rumbles with action of seismic proportions, shot grandly in signature Shetty style - high-voltage stunts, death-defying combats, men and machines bursting into flames - served bloody, gritty and unadulterated.

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania

2014 · Times City · Jul 2014

HSKD has plenty of feel-good moments, but nothing that will leave you punch-drunk. For romantics who believe in their dils and their dulhanias.

Kahin Hai Mera Pyar

Kahin Hai Mera Pyar

2014 · Times City · May 2014

Unfortunately, the film's highlight is its awful animation. These scenes can give Jaani Dushman a run for its money. Barring Ravindra Jain's soulful music and Jackie Shroff's presence, everything else fails.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

2014 · Times City · May 2014

The action sequences are breathtaking and despite the running time, the film doesn't drag. Garfield and Stone, in the scenes where they are together, have a palpable chemistry. This Spider-Man serves up both pathos and power.

Kya Dilli Kya Lahore

Kya Dilli Kya Lahore

2014 · Times City · May 2014

One of the finest things about 'KDKL' is Gulzar's poetic prologue. Without the usual trappings of filmi fanfare, this story has its heart in the right place - pure and undivided. Like pre-partition brotherhood.

Celluloid Man

Celluloid Man

2012 · Times City · Aug 2013

The film is a comprehensive coverage of Nair's extraordinary life journey.From Trivandrum to film studios in Mumbai to finally ending up as a film collector in Pune, from an aspiring filmmaker to a strict archivist, various facets of his life have been captured beautifully.
