  • Ekk Deewana Tha

    Even if you dont mind the lack of detailing, you cant avoid the potholes in the script. As we wait for Jessie to make up her mind, the film loses its coherence.

  • Hate Story

    The film may give morality a Dam(n) but there has to be logic. Thanks to the jerky narrative, instead of empathising with the characters you start laughing at them.

  • Tezz

    Set out to make a thriller, Priyadarshan delivers an unintentional comedy which is neither sharp nor sensible.

  • Fatso

    Using magical realism Kapoor deals with deep-seated human quandaries in a light-hearted fashion but ultimately fails to realise the potential of the subject.

  • Cocktail

    ...once you are done with gushing about the picturesque locales, the hollowness of the subject dawns on you and it is not a good feeling. All the gloss and sauce fail to make us feel for any of the characters because their transitions don’t pass muster.

  • Ek Tha Tiger

    ...surprisingly director Kabir Khan has come up with a new recipe for the current Tiger of the box office. Kabir wants to put his stamp without stamping on Salman’s toes.

  • Inkaar

    You can’t ignore Inkaar for its sheer topicality and its courage to look a problem in the eye though the director goes into blink mode half way through the film.

  • Gippi

    The way it pans out it reminds us of producer Karan Johar’s 2012 hit Student Of The Year. Only, the bling factor is a little diminished. It raises relevant points but the innocence or the lack of it seems manufactured.

  • John Day

    Logic, pace and tautness are the main ingredients of a thriller and Solomon’s work disappoints on all the three counts.

  • Mahabharat

    Mahabharat deserves a liberal reading but apart from Karna’s episode Amaan has remained true to the traditional rendering of the epic and there is hardly any effort to delve into the moral dilemmas of the characters.

  • Mr Joe B. Carvalho

    It is supposed to be a satire; it is supposed to be a theatre of the absurd but unfortunately all that remains an idea on paper. On screen it is relentless torture.
