Sarbjit
Sarbjit is a brave attempt, but the treatment is so melodramatic and so shrill, you come away with a heavy aching head, instead of a heavy heart at the tragedy of the peoples from both sides of the border.

X-Men: Apocalypse
Such a pleasure to watch a movie that all kinds of little reminders of earlier stories meshed beautifully in a brand new way.

Azhar
It's a brave but pointless attempt to make a fallen star look less fallen. Is there such a thing? The film claims it to be a work of fiction, and manages to make it such a drag, you wonder why they would try and convince people that there was righteous innocence in a game known to be tainted by money.

Buddha In A Traffic Jam
Nonsensical attempt to sound posh by giving it a fancy title and claiming that it tackles subjects like Naxalites in Chattisgarh. If there is an original idea in the film it is that Naxalites are everywhere amongst us, and that they could be anyone: your doctor, your best friend, your banker, your lawyer, government officials and that they are biding their time for a bloodbath on the streets. Howlarious.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
What was a fun, breezy, sharp and touching comedy about families and love and large people is now watered down, not so funny and tries very hard to be about families. This sequel is too late and too little. What worked then for the plus sized heroine who is now fashionably thin, is just tiresome.

Criminal
You've seen it all before: CIA, torture, mafia criminals, tech crime, missiles, bag of money, violence, beating people to death... Yawn inducing. No matter how good Kevin Costner looks even today, his bizarre haircut and the lame story he has to deal with seems like a desperate attempt to make a comeback.

Pele: Birth of a Legend
Over the last couple of years we have seen many a biopic on screen, and each one makes your heart overflow with happiness. Pele's story may be raw and not as polished as say Trumbo, or Senna or Rush, but it has all the ingredients to make you want to stay until the end credits have rolled.

Traffic
For a remake of a Malayalam movie this one tells the tale based on a true story, but it becomes so tedious because it tries too hard to infuse the TV drama pace of Kiefer Sutherland's 24 and ends up being tedious.

One Night Stand
Lad obsessed with a beautiful girl he met in a faraway land discovers she lives in the same city, is a propah sati-savitri and begins to stalk her. And his attempts at being stalker are so pathetic you cannot but laugh. Everyone tries so hard to 'act', you wish it were an honest to God skin flick instead of this dreadful feminist 'equal right to make out with strangers' thing...

Captain America: Civil War
While one part of the world is grappling with 'Who watches the watchmen?' style dilemma, the others have discovered that someone is bent upon undermining their world. This is an action-filled movie with crackling dialog and ethical dilemmas presented so well, you are forced to take sides.
