Kaagaz - Review

Fri, 15 Jan 2021 16:56:40 +0000

A walkthrough of what a man went through to prove that he is alive. Feels like interesting journal entries that strictly stick to the “what” without getting into the “why”. (Available on Zee5)

Coolie No 1 - Review

Fri, 08 Jan 2021 18:21:58 +0000

No, I hadn't expected anything else. Got exactly what I had signed up for and more on each count—worst kind of misogyny, cringy slapstick humour, horrifying *ahemmm* story-line.

Soul - Review

Thu, 07 Jan 2021 16:46:06 +0000

Someone thought of putting questions about life, death and beyond in a light, fun movie—that in itself is incredible. And then you have lovely animation to make the experience even richer—enough to excuse the anti-climactic end. (Available on Disney-Hotstar)

Rangrezz - Review

Fri, 22 Mar 2013 12:24:19 +0000

Rangrezz, surprisingly puts a solid effort in writing a decent story. Yet, it takes the events to extremes towards the end, makes it too long and loses the plot. Some witty dialogue and a few well-timed performances keep the interest alive in an otherwise uneven second half.

Jayantabhai Ki Luv Story - Review

Fri, 15 Feb 2013 18:45:14 +0000

Jayantabhai ki Love Story doesn't have enough bhaigiri nor enough love. It doesn't engage, nor does it entertain.

Raavan - Review

Fri, 18 Jun 2010 14:38:24 +0000

It's so confusing when seriousness is dealt with song and dance. Wish the film was advertised as modern Ram Leela performed in a tribal theater. That expectation would have prepped me to deal with the over-dramatization a lot better.

Aashiqui 2 - Review

Fri, 26 Apr 2013 18:05:59 +0000

It is weird that Aashiqui 2 doesn't engage you a 100%. It has decent performances, characters who know and show their feelings, a believable love story, yet it's not completely there.

Ek Thi Daayan - Review

Fri, 19 Apr 2013 15:25:10 +0000

Ek Thi Daayan builds at a good pace and takes the proceedings to a great peak at mid-time. Unfortunately, it goes only down after interval. Yet, there are a few genuine scares and good performances. A casual DVD watch.

Nautanki Saala! - Review

Fri, 12 Apr 2013 16:38:08 +0000

Nautanki Saala! Makes you want to believe that lovely performances by two lead characters, witty dialogue and a philosophical concept delivered with humor would be enough to make a film rise above the ordinary. Unfortunately it is matched by plastic/caricaturish performances by the rest of the cast, some slapsticky humor and a run down south towards a typical climax.

Chashme Baddoor - Review

Fri, 05 Apr 2013 14:49:07 +0000

Chashme Baddoor is loud (like that's a surprise!), shamelessly mind-numbing, and exceeds your expectations at being miles away from logical. Bad performances, awful one-liners, ridiculously thoughtless situations make it even worse.
