M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story
4/10

M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story2016

Well, I'm not a cricket fan but I'm being liberal here. The Untold Stories has nothing much to flash lights on Dhoni's character. A biopic on a famous Indian cricketer M.S. Dhoni. The Untold Stories are not enough to complete his biopic. The cricket background is good, credit goes to Neeraj Pandey for this but as a whole I can say, not a satisfied biopic of a sport person. Anupam Kher played his role of a typical Indian father who is always concerned for wellbeing of his son M.S. Dhoni. Loved his performance. The leading man, Rajput is good as well playing Dhoni. Average.

Mohenjo Daro
2/10

Mohenjo Daro2016

A typical bollywood film. Nothing new and most importantly Mahenjodaro could not brought us a real picture of the place. Weak story, very much common yet predictable. Costume designing is good rest are very poor.

Rustom2016

Very poor direction and writing. I was thinking that it would be a serious movie but the whole movie appears as a comedy show and the court scenes developed the comic scenes.. some unnecessary scenes are added for the #deshprem purpose. If you are a movie buff you better watch a comedy movie again..

Udta Punjab
7/10

Udta Punjab2016

This movie comes with something new.. unlike, traditional movies Udta Panjab exploited the serious and contemporary issue of drug addiction through beautiful storyline.. Good direction. Shahid played his role of a mad or drug addict musician, it was perfect.I didn't expect Alia Bhat what she did in the movie.. she is different, well, I must say she performed better than her own. Good film. Must watch.
