Jai Gangaajal

Jai Gangaajal has everything that you find in a Prakash Jha movie, except the director doing a prominent role in the film. Having said that, it isn’t as intense like most of Mr. Jha’s films. The agenda this time again is the purification of system and the characters are cops and politicians. But there isn’t… Continue reading Jai Gangaajal

Neerja

“What are these producers thinking when they get a story? In this film there is no hero. All the villains are unknown faces. It’s mostly inside a plane and to make it more boring, the girl dies at the end of it all. There is a useless speech by her dad at the end”. I… Continue reading Neerja

Fitoor

I have not read Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations, so this review won’t have any comparisons and statements regarding the “justice” part of this adaptation titled Fitoor.

With the screenplay not wasting a single moment on desperate commercialization, the realistic treatment only got better with that pinch of bollywood formula. Ranjit Katyal,… Continue reading Airlift

Wazir

By the time the movie reached its second half, I sort of felt a disappointment as things looked too easy and guessable. But to my surprise, in the last five minutes Wazir creates a climax that justifies the chess factor and the sort of intentional predictability in the writing. Narrated with his signature roughness, Wazir… Continue reading Wazir

Dilwale

Cars, slap stick jokes and a very thin story line are the essential ingredients of a Rohit Shetty film. Dilwale from Rohit Shetty has all this, but the proportion is so unequal that the movie looks very dull in terms of entertainment. With melodrama and outdated romance and sentiments eating a large chunk of the… Continue reading Dilwale
