Do Lafzon Ki Kahani review

Do Lafzon Ki Kahani

Hindi · 2016

This is a remake of a Korean film Always/ Only You. Also remade a year ago in Kannada as Boxer. And it successfully hammers the last nail in the coffin of groan-inducing schmaltzy romances. She's blind and he's burnt out and they fall in love. She talks so much, it's a miracle they don't announce half-way through the movie that he's gruff and quiet because he's deaf.

Te3n review

Te3n

Hindi · 2016

A cop turned priest is connected to an old man obsessed with his grand-daughter's unsolved kidnap and murder as well as a new case of kidnapping which is practically mirrors the old man's case. This could have been a good who-dun-it.

Warcraft review

Warcraft

English · 2016

Not too many video-games-turned-movies turn out to be any good. This movie, although based on the flimsiest of plotlines, makes a decent, rather watchable version of the game. It takes a bit of swallowing too many legends, but they're not too difficult to follow. The game is so popular. They have world championships, but the movie may not be.

Housefull 3 review

Housefull 3

Hindi · 2016

When a delightful Hollywood black comedy like The Nice Guys is playing in the theatre next to this movie, you wish you could get up and sneak into the other movie. But you are so deadened by the unfunny situational comedy unfolding in front that you just wait it out, let the movie die its slow painful death.

The Nice Guys review

The Nice Guys

English · 2016

A bumbling buddy detective movie where people get shot at, maimed, their bones broken, run over by cars, chased by baddies, and generally bashed up, with the buddies escaping by the skin of their teeth, by inches, by sheer will-power, by mistakes... It's witty, sarcastic, and wholly funny. A wild ride for two hours that will keep you guffawing at the sheer audacity of events panning out!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows review

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows

English · 2016

If you haven't forgotten the movie that won every award starting with worst director, worst picture and so on at the Golden Raspberry Awards, then here's help. This time the Ninja Turtles are 'Out Of The Shadows' and here to save New York from an alien attack and their old enemy Shredder. It's a tedious watch at best, too scary for the little ones and too boring for teens.

Veerappan review

Veerappan

Hindi · 2016

The movie spans only the period of April 2004 until October 18, 2004, but it feels like you have lived the life of Veerappan, in the jungles, surrounded by mosquitoes (and bad dialog and silly characters)... Even though the man who plays Veerappan looks spot on like the dacoit, Ram Gopal Varma misses this one by a mile.

Alice Through the Looking Glass review

Alice Through the Looking Glass

English · 2016

All the characters you love in Alice are still there for the headcount and it's a brand new adventure. It's fun and puns and lots of color, but then a tad let down when you realise the arch villain is actually a softy inside.

Phobia review

Phobia

Hindi · 2016

What do you do when you are suffering from Agoraphobia? You are too anxious to step out of your comfort zone and too panicky to remain inside the house. When the lead character is Radhika Apte, then the audience feels her fears (what large eyes she has!), her panic attacks, and begin to feel what everyone around her feels...

Waiting review

Waiting

Hindi · 2016

What happens when two strangers who meet because their loved ones are in the hospital and they're waiting for news of their health? The need for human understanding, how you connect with the hospital staff, the madness of reading up on the disease... It's all there. Human and real and funny and serious.

The Angry Birds Movie review

The Angry Birds Movie

English · 2016

You've played the game, and now it's time to sit back and laugh at the antics of the pigs and the birds. Correction. You will laugh and guffaw and hi-five people sitting next to you and choke on the coffee because the film is very cleverly written for grown ups. The kiddies will love the birds and the pigs...
