If this were a Disney movie, there would be a song playing continuously: A tale as old as time... Before you can complete the song and sing, 'Beauty and the beast!'Cliche upon cliche is piled up in this movie that should have been named Captain Obvious. Even the fights are so choreographed there is nothing new. Yes, the one star goes to Tiger Shroff for effort and for growing some facial fuzz.

The journey of Srinivas Ramanujan from his poor home in Madras to his fellowship at Trinity College in Cambridge is beautifully captured. The professors Hardy and Littlewood make Mathematics look like such a delight. Jeremy Irons overshadows everything, Dev Patel included. There is that awful 'exotic India' hangover, but the movie pleases all parts of you, even if you earned poor marks in maths in school...

You had better stay away from American suburbia. It is a candy colored world which is full of cliched characters who laugh a little too loudly, smile too widely, and are happy to make their 'problems' public. Watch it when it plays on cable and you have nothing else to do...

A really pathetic movie that tries so hard to be the Oscar winning Room and a Science Fiction movie about alien attack that drives your patience to the ground.

Take a bunch of decent actors and make them demean themselves by making them play secret agents and international robbers from a script written by someone who is intellectually challenged. This film is a contender, and probably the winner of the worst film of the year.

Who could think that stealing blood and selling it for profit would be the stuff that could have you grinning in the dark of the theater? It is. And the characters that have been created seem to be unrepentant and brazen in their greed. If only the exaggerations could be reined in, this would be a wonderfully dark comic film.

Pointless and unoriginal, the tale of the Huntsman attempts to cash in on the Snow White fairy tale and falls. Big stars like Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Jessica Chastain and Emily Blunt together cannot save this silly tale.

They don't call them 'crazy fans' without reason! And who else but Shah Rukh Khan could show how horrendous it is to live a life that fans perceive as perfect. The film is taut and tense. And just when you think things could get predictable, you are shook by its madness.

It starts out as a great idea: a weird kid whose powers include making dreams come true. Grown ups love the beauty of the dreams but don't know how to control his nightmares. You get goosebumps just thinking about it. But the execution is so slow, you find that you're trying hard to stay awake.

There is death, and destruction of a premise that could have been a wonderful thriller if only the whole movie had been handled with a little more finesse.

It's not a movie, it is a gigantic joke. Should you tie Naseeruddin Shah to a chair and make him watch his own ridiculous hamming which lasts for over 2 hours, he would beg for someone to kill him in the first half hour. It's a complete waste of time and gives stoner movies a bad name.
