Good Super Hero Movie

Yup, the desi super-hero comes of age. Kicking, dragging, screaming and gamboling down the nearest suburban shopping area, or peering up an airborne flight which develops a wheel problem.Krissh, masked and magnificent in his missionary pose, is ready to take on the world... The…

Time Pass

Political satires are easily the most difficult genre of comedy in cinema. They have to serve up a telling lesson to self-serving politicians while providing audiences with a good laugh. We had Kunal Roy Kapur attempting one of 'dose' in "The President Is Coming".But…

One of masala films in general

How do I put this politely? This is arguably one of the most awful, ill-timed gangster dramas with most performances so loud and unassimilated that these characters could easily be contestants in a Eid special segment of Comedy Circus where the theme is 'Gangsta Rap'.…

Chennai Express Review

Dammit! No out-takes!! Is this really a Rohit Shetty film? Every film of the "Gol Maal" director has so far ended with out-takes giving us entertaining glimpses from during the making of the film. Here those trademark Shetty out-takes are replaced by a Honey Singh…

Marvellous effort

Very massy

Deputy Commissioner of Police Rudra Aditya Devraj (Sanjay Dutt) comes into this South Indian town called Nagapuram and takes up cudgels against the reigning don Nagori Subramaniam (Prakash Raj). The don has the top policemen and politicians in his pocket but somehow Rudra manages to…

Good performances and a well-infused comedy

Director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba’s Fukrey is a joyride set in Delhi which will remind you a bit of Delhi Belly. The youthful comedy revolves around best buds – Hunny (Pulkit Samrat) and Dileep Singh aka Choocha (Varun Sharma) – who desperately want to get through…

It fails to thrill

Alongside Ameesha Patel's comeback film Shortcut Romeo and Sonam Kapoor-Dhanush's love story Raanjhanaa comes a gritty action thriller Enemmy produced by Mithun Chakraborty and his wife Yogeeta Bali Chakraborty. The film is about law and order and the battle between the Mumbai mafia and police.…

Unforgettable tragedy

A beautiful but deeply flawed film, the eagerly-awaited "Lootera" floors you with its audacious sensitivity and its tendency to use silences to punctuate emotions.Indeed, the sequences between Varun and Pakhi, played with compelling intensity by Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha, bristle and burst at…
