Sing review

Sing

English · 2016

When a Koala called Buster Moon is on the brink of losing his beloved theatre, he organises a music competition. 'All animals great and small' come out of their lives and participate, but fate (and a trio of angry bears) intervene. Will the cute Koala and his singing menagerie save the theatre? This film is meant for children, but when they play Cohen and Sinatra, you know it's a win-win for grown-ups too!

Dangal review

Dangal

Hindi · 2016

An ex-wrestler channels his ambition for an international gold medal through his daughters and he trains them to fight. A quintessential sports movie, where everyone laughs at Geeta and Babita Phogat when their father pits them against boys in local 'Dangal' - a wrestling match, then hold them high when the two sisters win state and national competitions. Brilliant biographical tale that is a must watch.

Wajah Tum Ho

Hindi · 2016

Everything in this film is 'Baseless, logic-less and abstract'. You laugh at the police officer's dialog, you cringe at the skin show, you shake your head at the stupidity of such films and you come away at the needlessness of such films.

Deepwater Horizon review

Deepwater Horizon

English · 2016

Based on a true story, this retelling of the biggest oil disaster in the US oil exploration history may be a predictable movie, but the drama of the men on sea, the horror of fire on water is incredible. The bravery of the men and women on the oil exploration rig, and the unending, unrepentant greed of the oil companies is very well depicted.
