Coming from a director who claims to represent majority of the country’s audience and hascarved a niche for himself through TV shows, Himmatwala is a sorry excuse for a film.

Don’t be fooled by this simplistic story. The screenplay springs up a major surprise in the second half when every thing you watched and believed in is rubbished off.

At home with the genre, Dhulia delivers a winner that not only entertains, but keeps you engaged with its riveting screenplay and top notch performances.

The film works on more levels than it fails, and most of it is because of its brilliant execution. Watch it for the performances.

There is certain madness in each one of us. It isn’t healthy to contain that madness at all times. When you let go, you see the silver lining behind that dark cloud.

Predictability seeps in early on in the film. There is nothing that is new or hasn’t been done before. In an age where every animation film breaks a new ground, Zambezia looks a bit old and dated.

Bunty Aur Babli for dummies! I am sure that’s what the hard bound script of Badmaash Company must have read. Throughout the film, Shahid keeps crossing his fingers each time he wants something really bad. I did the same, hoping the movie works; sadly I just ended up with a bad sprain!

Neither preachy nor wanting to make a statement, Kurbaan keeps it simple. It’s a thriller that tackles terrorism and the Islamic viewpoint with maturity and depth. Packed with powerful performances, it’s a must- watch for its technical brilliance and captivating storyline.

Mildly entertaining, I, Frankenstein fails to raise a scare or keep us on the edge of our seat.

Bombay Talkies is a format that needs to be praised for its concept. The sequencing of the stories works and the pace is swift, never showing signs of lethargy. If this was a tribute to 100 years of cinema, then we need to have an array of directors from different genres pay such homages more often.
