The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir review

The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir

English · 2019

Can a little boy from a slum in Bombay dream of Paris? Sure! When he grows up can he use his street smarts and a fake hundred Euro note to get to the city of his dreams? Dhanush (whom you saw in Raanjhana) makes this journey frothy, fun, magical and wonderful.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi review

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

English · 2017

The empire is still evil and Supreme Commander Snook is creepy in the manner of Emperor Palpitane. Thin and tall and long bony fingers controlling the force like never before. The rebels are at the end of their tether again, and need help. The story seems same but if you sit back and enjoy what Star Wars means to you, then the brilliant end will make you feel like a happy child once again.

Viceroy's House

English · 2017

It is a touching tale of one of the greatest human tragedies, a shameful part of our history, told in a very personal way. The film is beautifully shot, well acted and brilliantly directed. A must watch.

Jackie review

Jackie

English · 2017

President Kennedy has been assassinated and the elegant first lady has to now deal with not just his funeral, but with her own personal struggle to understand what has happened. And we witness all the vulnerability and all the steel that could be present in one person in one glorious movie.

Silence review

Silence

English · 2017

Set in the 1630s, Silence is the story of two young priests, who arrive in Japan in search of their teacher and discover a wretched life where their faith in God is tested. Martin Scorsese's is at once cruel as it is beautiful. A tough watch.

Rings review

Rings

English · 2017

Not even your gagging reflex at watching the heroine pull out hair from her mouth turns into horror in this most banal horror film sequel of the superb original Japanese film called Ringu (and the awesome remake called 'Ring' in 2002). The video-tape of the original film is now shared file, and the premise is the same: watch it and die within a week. And the week is so long, audiences will die of boredom first.

Mars is back on the big screen, this time with romance as its theme. A bright boy born on Mars to one of the first colonists grows up wanting to find out who his dad is. When he comes to Earth he discovers romance. The boy from Hugo looks wide-eyed enough in love but the dodgy science and sick teenagers romancing make for a colossal bore.
