Student of the Year 2 review

Student of the Year 2

Hindi · 2019

A wafer thin, predictable champions versus the underdogs plot, with actors that look like they're posing for 146 minutes except for five awesome minutes. How and why the filmmakers imagine that Tiger Shroff's almost 30 year old abs can pass off as 18 is a mystery. And Kabaddi is just weird to watch for that long...

Kalank review

Kalank

Hindi · 2019

A love story set in pre-independence with Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan should have been a hit, but it's such a mish mash of everything from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jaayenge to Casablanca to Lawaris to Bahubali to Camelot and everything in between and presented to you in a language that is so pretentious that it exhausts your patience.

Romeo Akbar Walter review

Romeo Akbar Walter

Hindi · 2019

A bank cashier is recruited to spy for India, with several reasons to double cross. What could have been an action packed drama seems to be caught in a quagmire of stereotypes and predictability. It is so slow it fails to hold your attention despite a good premise.

Notebook review

Notebook

Hindi · 2019

It's an official remake of Nicholas Sparks' romance made by Hollywood a while ago. Except this is set in Kashmir and hence stunning. Plus the newcomers are not bad at all, and the kids are the sweetest.

Junglee review

Junglee

Hindi · 2019

Remember Ong Bak? Where the young lad and the elephants share a chemistry and save their world? Well, this one tries hard to bring the story of a boy and an elephant, ivory poachers, martial arts, relationships together and makes an unpalatable mess of it all.

Gone Kesh review

Gone Kesh

Hindi · 2019

A sweet little film that makes several inroads into your heart. Touching, funny and everyone acts brilliantly. A story of a young girl in a small town who begins to lose her hair and has to live through razing from her schoolmates and then lives an embarrassed, fearful life as a young girl through college and work life. The whole cast does such a good job, this film deserves a watch.

Kesari review

Kesari

Hindi · 2019

The final battle to the death is worth the watch, but when you see religion, patriotism, propaganda and soldiering mix in a movie timed for release during elections in India, you want to cringe but that would be politically incorrect.

Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota review

Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota

Hindi · 2019

A homage to everything we grew up with: kung fu flicks, Bollywood revenge dramas, love stories, reality shows and yes, superhero movies. You will have a smile pasted on your face to watch this very different offering about a chap who doesn't feel physical pain, but is out to avenge his mother. It's a delight to watch this superbly done action flick.

Photograph review

Photograph

Hindi · 2019

A street photographer takes a picture of a quiet girl from a well-to-do family. On a whim he sends the photograph to his grandmother who shows up to meet the love of her grandson's life. The film gets really tedious because there's nothing more to this fascination with poverty.

A young couple decide to try and 'live in' and get caught. The family believes the fake evidence of marriage they have planted for neighbours and brings the two back home. Their unconditional acceptance makes the two feel guilty, and they make several attempts to get married for real. The set up is totally unfunny, but the attempts to get married does bring laughter, if only you can stay awake.
