The Jungle Book has earned Rs 74 crore in first week and it’s a big deal
The critics and fans are equally pleased with this one. Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book is running strong at the Indian box office and has collected over Rs 70 crore in its opening week. Released in India in four different languages (English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu), the film brings a story straight from the enchanting […]
Fan Movie Review
A double dose of a Bollywood superstar intent on pushing himself into new zones as an actor makes for a passably watchable spectacle in Maneesh Sharma’s Fan. The film might, however, have yielded decidedly more than just superficial delights had the director not resorted to standard means to wrap up his tale of an obsessed movie […]
Ki And Ka Movie Review
The hero and the heroine of Ki And Ka share a birthday – April 15. So when they decide to marry, the couple chooses the same date as D-Day. While they are at it, one of them reminds the audience that the Titanic, too, sank on April 15. How very fitting! Ki And Ka, writer-director K Balki’s fourth […]
Rocky Handsome Movie Review
Unapologetically gory and visceral, Rocky Handsome revels in relentless violence. But for a film about a ‘trained assassin’ and his bonding with a hapless child in desperate need of help, it is woefully low on emotional muscle. The result is a slick, stylistically derivative neo-noir thriller that is surprisingly humdrum. A full-on rehash of a 2010 Korean […]
Director Arun Chidambaram’s ‘KANAVU VARIYAM’ Wins Prestigious REMI Award in Worldfest
HOUSTON: Arun Chidambaram’s ‘Kanavu Variyam (Dream Factory)’ wins the Prestigious Remi Award. This award will be given in the 49th WorldFest Houston International Film Festival scheduled from April 8-17. WorldFest is the oldest Independent Film & Video Festival in the World. They discovered Spielberg (Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List), Ridley Scott (Gladiator, The Martian), George Lucas […]
Neerja Movie Review
Defying every norm laid down in the mainstream Bollywood rule-book, Neerja coaxes a riveting two-hour drama out of a real-life tale of extraordinary courage. For those old enough to remember how the hijacking of the 1986 Pan Am flight 73 panned out, the details are obviously all in the public domain. Yet, the need to bring the […]
Fitoor Movie Review
A visual tour de force, Abhishek Kapoor’s exquisitely crafted Fitoor holds on to the soul of Great Expectations and imbues it with the spirit of Bollywood without letting the essence of one dilute that of the other. But that is not to say that Fitoor is an unblemished miracle. It isn’t. Halfway into the first half, an impressed art impresario lauds […]
Sanam Teri Kasam Movie Review
Every good love story has a touch of the absurd. But Sanam Teri Kasam is neither a believable romantic yarn nor are its stabs of stupidity within the realms of the passable. The film is helmed by not one but two directors, and that’s one too many, but it’s completely directionless. Its asinine and unending narrative convolutions […]
Saala Khadoos Movie Review
At the centre of Saala Khadoos are two down-and-out individuals. One is a disgraced ex-boxer whose life has been a story of missed opportunities. The other is a feisty young girl from a Chennai slum who has nothing to lose. The duo forges an unlikely and uneasy alliance and throws punches at a world in which the […]
Jugni Movie Review
Mustard fields do occasionally loom in the backdrop – that is inevitable – but Jugni has a glow that instantly sets it apart from the average Punjab film that Bollywood produces. It looks, feels and sounds different. It has no Bhangra routines, no wedding songs, no inane lyrics, and no semi-clad floozies. What the beautifully nuanced Jugni film has […]
Airlift Movie Review
Hindi cinema history tells us that mainstream storytellers in Bollywood face many a pitfall when they work with real-life stories. They frequently succumb to the temptation to inject exaggerated drama into the narrative. In the bargain, they end up tumbling with a thud between two stools. Neither is it easy for their ilk to handle […]
‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Is The Movie The Series So Badly Needed
After all the waiting The Force Awakens is finally upon us and it is as good as much of the hype said it would be. Considering the state the prequels left the series in, this film has had the unenviable and almost impossible task of salvaging the Star Wars mythos from the brink of oblivion. When the original Star Wars was released […]
Hate Story 3 Movie Review
There is absolutely nothing to fall in love with in Hate Story 3. It is the tale of two very, very crabby men who hate each other with all their guts and hatch silly conspiracies. The whys and wherefores of their actions and utterances are shrouded in mystery until the very end of the film, by […]
Tamasha Movie Review
An off-the beaten track love story that does not go far enough with its surprises, Imtiaz Ali’s Tamasha is a film that flatters to deceive. It rolls along smoothly, but so facile are its placid twists and pat resolutions that they cause nary an emotional ripple. It is a pretty film, thanks to cinematographer S Ravi Varman’s […]
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo Movie Review
It is obvious that Sooraj R. Barjatya has spared no expense or effort in erecting the ornate sets and designing the unabashedly garish look of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. But one crucial aspect of the film that would have cost little or no money (the director is himself the writer) but taken far greater effort – […]

Guddu Ki Gun Movie Review
Guddu Ki Gun is the tale of Govardhan aka Guddu (Kunal Khemu), a Bihari settled in Kolkata. He is a door-to-door washing powder salesman, whose sales pitch is Ek washing powder ke saath Guddu free. With dialogues packed with rhymes, mispronunciations and double entendres, the film is a delightful adult comedy that keeps you in splits by […]
