Gippi
Critic reviews and ratings
-
Sweet, simple, emotionally engaging, heart-warming cinema!
-
For loads of smiles, laughs and a few tears, watch Gippi.
-
A clean movie which anyone can identify with.
-
Sonam Nair's 'coming of puberty' film handles simple issues sensitively, though it doesn't delve too deep. The subtlety appeals, but lacks drama in the second half, with a mediocre climax.
-
Gippi is fun, Gippi is relatable and Gippi is every bit adorable.
-
Sure, Gippi is over-simplified, but the cute factor makes up for it.
-
For all its attempts to look and feel different from the run-of-the-mill, Gippi is pretty obviously not the ultimate film about adolescence.
-
...portrays the troubles of adolescence very cutely without passing preachy messages. Only if the film could lose its predictability.
-
There is something innocent and vulnerable about Gippi that touches a chord, but it is the unnecessary mix and match of clichéd moments and mundane dialogues that prevents the film from rising above the ordinary.
-
...a coming-of-age flick that doesn't quite come of age.
-
...a big hurrah for the girls of Gippi.
-
...is an unpretentious and fun film. It could’ve have been a definitive statement on teen conundrum. But it never promises to tap into the cerebral.
-
...follows a tried-and-tested Hollywood template, and it doesn’t try to do too much. Its triumphs are minor (though not insignificant).
-
...soon the designer exterior, in which the real emotions are ensconced, begins to get overbearing and irritating.
-
The film has the universally acceptable message that most self-help books will give you: love your flaws, love yourself. A film needs some more meat; it can’t thrive on a message. When storytelling, characterization and performance are lost, all is lost.
-
This comes off as a mini version of the Karan Johar-directed Student Of The Year, which was itself derivative.
-
If only the story was more real and close to home.
-
Ultimately, this could have been a sweet, unusual tale about the triumph of a nerd, yet it's let down by its affected tone.
-
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.
-
Unfortunately, the rest somehow has a been-there-seen-that-in-this-or-that-Hollywood-film quality to it.
