3/5
Game Over (2019) Mayank Shekhar Suffice it to know, this is a 'home-invasion' picture, a full-on sub-genre of its own, with limited pay-off, yes. But with only one question that should really matter: Does it keep you interested/hooked right through to the end? For sure.

Pad Man (2018) Mayank Shekhar This is a very different kinda Balki movie...does it manage to entertain? Absolutely, if you're patient enough through the first half.

Coffee Bloom (2015) Shubha Shetty-Saha An excellent example of how some filmmakers end up making pretentious, self indulgent, unwatchable movies in the name of independent cinema.

2.5/5
Omertà (2018) Mohar Basu It's a shame really that Omerta lacks depth, never giving an insight into Omar's criminal designs. As a thriller, it's pacy and yet, distinctly half-baked and stiff.

4/5
The Brawler (2017) Mayank Shekhar Mukkabaaz marks Kashyap's fab return to a realm he understands and expresses best -- with all its flaws, angst and humour, Tarantino-esque pop-culture references, making it all as distressing as it is frickin' fun and real.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016) Johnson Thomas [Miss Peregrine] wallows in a marginal fantasia that's impressive but not quite enticing.

Hate Story 3 (2015) Shubha Shetty-Saha Poor dialogues and amateurish execution makes the characters look more caricaturish than believable.

Hawaa Hawaai (2014) Shubha Shetty-Saha A film with the right intention and its heart in the right place shouldn't be missed. Watch this one.
Posted Jan 04, 2018  Edit critic review
Hunterrr (2015) Shubha Shetty-Saha Watch it if brazen in your face is enough to titillate you. If not, let's wait for a more mature film dealing with sex.

Gurgaon (2017) Mayank Shekhar The relatability and realism of it all, despite the hasty simplicities in the plot, add much to the character.

Great Grand Masti (2016) Shaheen Parkar The direction is lazy and pathetic, and the music jarring, It appears that some Tom, Dick or Harry was calling the shots while the director was taking a nap on set.

3/5
Global Baba (2016) Shubha Shetty-Saha The film with its tongue firmly in its cheek content, gives a timely, strong message of how blind faith and mob mentality can be easily manipulated by anybody in this country.

4/5
The Lunchbox (2013) Shubha Shetty-Saha Watch this film for the fuzzy, heart-melting feeling that it will give you through the two-odd hour duration. But also watch it for the hidden charm, the stoic way the protagonists face the problem with their own brand of positivity and optimism.

2/5
Aashiqui 2 (2013) Shakti Shetty The editor could have kept this film shorter without losing on the essence. Ironically, the loveliest scene happens in the end but you'll have to go through a lot of tears and few smiles to reach that point.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects (2014) Shubha Shetty-Saha The film is fun but shallow, nevertheless. A pity, because with a subject of this kind, the possibilities were immense.
Posted Dec 12, 2017  Edit critic review
Gunday (2014) Shubha Shetty-Saha It might have worked better if one, there was no incessant, absolutely irrelevant background music assaulting the senses, and two, if the lead actors were asked to relax a bit and some humour was infused into the storyline.

4/5
Ram-Leela (2013) Shubha Shetty-Saha It is Deepika and Ranvir's sizzling chemistry that does full justice to Bhansali's passionate story.

3/5
Jolly LLB (2013) Janhavi Samant The music plagiarism case 'Mere toh lag gaye' scene and Jolly being part of the terrorist round-up is hilarious. So are most of the courtroom scenes. The film's worth a watch for these hilarious and quirky moments.

Gangoobai (2013) Shakti Shetty An enjoyable milieu of rich and poor - and those who lie in between - are assembled on the canvas to provide a memorable punch.

Do Lafzon Ki Kahaani (2016) Shubha Shetty-Saha It is to Hooda's credit that he gives a convincing performance even in this mish-mash of mush.

2/5
Dear Dad (2016) Shubha Shetty-Saha Dear Dad is a one-line story that has been stretched to 100 minutes and beyond, as if to test the audience's patience.

Sholay (1975) Shubha Shetty-Saha This is not a review of Sholay. This is to reiterate the greatness of the epic film.

Spotlight (2015) Johnson Thomas All the actors here are first-rate, putting on a well-oiled ensemble that never takes a false step.

Suicide Squad (2016) Johnson Thomas This is a messy mash-up that has neither style nor real substance to make it exciting enough. [It's] nowhere near as cool or nihilistically humorous as Deadpool.

Ship of Theseus (2012) Shubha Shetty-Saha Watching this movie is a spiritual and uplifting experience. Don't miss it, for your sake.

Gone Girl (2014) Mihir Fadnavis Flynn is a terrific talent, and if this film does anything apart from making you see it again, it makes you want to read her earlier work.

2/5
Kabali (2016) Krishnakumar Padmanabhan It must have taken tremendous courage to take the leap of faith that is Kabali for someone who can still stake claim to being the country's biggest star. It will be a travesty if he shelves the experiment after one bad film.

The Secret Life of Pets (2016) Johnson Thomas The film has a brisk pace, but the story is pretty much well-trodden and playing to type.

Sultan (2016) Aastha Atray Banan Sultan is a fun watch, offering the perfect fix to lift a not-so-great day.

Hawaizaada (2015) Shubha Shetty-Saha This painfully long film is peppered with unnecessary songs after every two minutes.

Fireflies in the Abyss (2015) Johnson Thomas This MIFF 2016 best documentary feature winner speaks quite eloquently of the tragedy that's happening deep down in the burrows within the hill country of the 'Abode of Clouds'.

Junooniyat (2016) Shaheen Parkar The bright and colourful phulkari dupattas of Punjab sadly cannot stop the film from being lacklustre.

Shorgul (2016) Shubha Shetty-Saha Outdated in its approach, and tacky in its handling, Shorgul disappoints on more counts than one.

Free State of Jones (2016) Johnson Thomas At the end of this experience you are likely to feel more beleaguered than entertained.

The Legend of Tarzan (2016) Johnson Thomas In terms of visual effects this film is quite impressive but as [an] involving adventure, it falls short.

4/5
Man of Steel (2013) Mihir Fadnavis Calling the action scenes 'set pieces' would be doing injustice to the film, for the scenes are some of the biggest, most expansive, most destructive, most eye-popping CGI mayhem ever splashed on screens.

3/5
Captain America: Civil War (2016) Johnson Thomas This latest brand extension of the Marvel Universe cross pollinates between action franchises to cause up a stir that is exciting, reverential, significantly coherent and interestingly poised. It also has its special doses of wit and vigor.

Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension (2015) Johnson Thomas What was once an interesting and intriguing concept has now turned turtle completely.

Fan (2016) Shubha Shetty-Saha Right from the beginning of this thriller... it is evident why Shah Rukh Khan is needed for a film of this sort, and why only someone in his position and with his caliber could do it too.

Goosebumps (2015) Johnson Thomas The film is structured much like Stine's books and is faithful in rendition but not thrills.

Char Sahibzade (2014) Shubha Shetty-Saha Chaar Sahibzade is a valuable lesson in history, if you are not too familiar with the history of Sikhism.

He Named Me Malala (2015) Johnson Thomas Guggenheim, despite his noble intentions, doesn't manage to get beneath the surface and try to present a portrait of a real person.

Hotel Transylvania 2 (2015) Johnson Thomas The CGI animation, though cute and clever, doesn't take the high-end form of a Pixar or Disney.

2.5/5
The Last Witch Hunter (2015) Johnson Thomas It's convoluted and has hallucinatory overtures that take you off course every time.

2/5
Rock the Kasbah (2015) Johnson Thomas The one person who makes a difference is Leem Lubany who is refreshingly alive and sparkling with talent in a performance that gives the discordant, juvenile and unbecoming narrative some much needed excitement.

Magnificent (2015) Shubha Shetty-Saha Shaandaar chooses to kill us with clichés [rather] than charm us with its idiosyncrasies.
