The only thing that can be said as negative for Dil Dhadakne Do from Zoya Akhthar is that on a basic level it copies her own movie Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. As ZNMD was not an existing formula when it came and there weren’t many films that felt similar to that, this formula from Zoya… Continue reading Dil Dhadakne Do

Very rarely we get to see sequels that are better than the first. I personally felt Tanu Weds Manu as a just about okay film and this time in the form of Tanu Weds Manu Returns, Anand L Rai has come up with a sequel that apparently looks much more entertaining than the first part.… Continue reading Tanu Weds Manu Returns

Just like he said in an interview recently, the story of Anurag Kashyap’s Bombay Velvet is basically a simple love story that happens in a kind of lawless gangster ruled Bombay/Mumbai.  This based on true story stuff has a really interesting making that doesn’t try to look compromised in terms of production values and the… Continue reading Bombay Velvet

Piku is a rare movie without a doubt as it has “motion” driving every emotional thing around it. Wrote around some hilariously realistic arguments (quarrels to be precise) between characters with such individuality, latest movie from Shoojit Sircar leaves  you in a happy mood reliving every fun moment and emotional attachment you saw in that… Continue reading Piku

With his first hindi movie Gabbar is Back, director Krish aspires to do something like that. But with very little creative modifications to suit the sensibilities… Continue reading Gabbar is Back

One major funny thing about the latest Vikram Bhatt movie Mr. X is that they have made this movie very seriously (irony). One major unfunny thing about this movie is that popular standup comedian Tanmay Bhatt has acted in this shoddy movie in a sick and silly character. Treated as a fantasy fiction, Mr. X starring… Continue reading Mr. X

Looking at the twist in the climax, Ek Paheli Leela starring Sunny Leone could have been a fair enough thriller if it had a better cast, writer and director. But unfortunately (or I should say unsurprisingly) the focus of both camera and content is on the private parts of the leading lady and thus becoming… Continue reading Ek Paheli Leela

The output vs expectation graph of Dibakar Banerjee’s latest film Detective Byomkesh Bakshy will have a negative slope. Mr. Banerjee has succeeded in creating dialogues and also in bringing some subtle humor to the content. But the main thing here is the suspense and also how intriguing the film is. May be because of Dibakar’s intention… Continue reading Detective Byomkesh Bakshy!
