'Spy' - Movie Review

19-Jun-2015
Paul Feig's latest film 'Spy' is every bit as funny and hilarious as 'Bridesmaids', and it brings back Melissa McCarthy in her funniest performance to date. If you're in need of laughs in this horrible rain, 'Spy' delivers with style
'Entourage' - Movie Review

19-Jun-2015
The thing with the 'Entourage' movie is none of the characters stand out, and for someone who isn't a fan of the show, will find it difficult to understand why the people in the show were adored. There is little effort in doling out an interesting story, and the film feels like a rejected episode from the series
'Jurassic World' - Movie Review

12-Jun-2015
Certain classics, novel and inventive, because of the eras they occupy, don't need to be remade or franchised with similar strokes. Unless one redefines the grammar of its genre ('Mad Max: Fury Road')
'Hamari Adhuri Kahani' - Movie Review

12-Jun-2015
Mahesh Bhatt's 'Arth' tells us the story of a fiercely independent woman dealing with an extra martial relationship that threatens to wreck her home. More than three decades later, irony unblinkingly stares at your face as you watch a confused and regressive film on the same subject
'The Duff' - Movie Review

12-Jun-2015
Very few good chick flicks and high school comedies have been made — two of the recent ones include 'Pitch Perfect' and 'Easy A'. The Duff joins the rank of this rare category of films that is both entertaining and likable
'Dil Dhadakne Do' - Movie Review

04-Jun-2015
'Dil Dhadakne Do' is a classic example of how when a pertinent, contemporary story meets a stellar star cast and near perfect direction, it results in a wholesome film good enough to be taken home
'What We Did On Our Holiday' - Movie Review

04-Jun-2015
What is the one thing more charming than an easygoing comedy? An easygoing comedy with people speaking in British accents. If you're looking for a light hearted crowd pleaser, look no further – 'What We Did On Our Holiday' delivers in bundles
'The Age of Adaline' - Movie Review

04-Jun-2015
If you're on the lookout for a date movie with plenty of schmaltz, 'The Age of Adaline', starring Blake Lively, delivers on various levels. But if you're looking for a smart movie that goes into the morality and ethics of never ageing, you'll have to look elsewhere
'Welcome To Karachi' - Movie Review

29-May-2015
Arshad Warsi and Jackky Bhagnani starrer 'Welcome to Karachi' is an attempt at a political satire with the backdrop of the 'explosive' (literally) situation in Pakistan. Worth one watch
'San Andreas' - Movie Review

29-May-2015
The Rock and falling architecture that's good enough excuse to waste some time at the movies, but ultimately that's what 'San Andreas' is, a waste of time, and a tiresome one at that
'Maggie' - Movie Review

29-May-2015
Neither is the drama powerful enough to keep you interested, nor are there any cheap thrills for fun. 'Maggie' ultimately is stuck somewhere in between, and is big disappointment, especially for fans of Arnold Schwarzenegger
'Surkhaab' - Movie Review

22-May-2015
Surkhaab is perhaps one of the finest examples of those small budget films which start with a good intention of dealing with a relevant issue, but then fall into the trap of making it ‘safe’ to ensure a box office hit
'Tanu Weds Manu Returns' - Movie Review

22-May-2015
'Tanu Weds Manu Returns' is a Kangana Ranaut vehicle. The film takes off from where the original ended and though Kangana has grown by over the 5 years since, the same cannot be said about the sequel
'Tomorrowland' - Movie Review

22-May-2015
A lot of things in the movie are clichéd to the hilt. Despite being a Brad Bird film, 'Tomorrowland' restricts itself to being a run of the mill Disney movie with easy plot points. The film looks gorgeous, of course, and kudos to Disney for presenting the film in 2D rather than 3D
'Poltergeist' - Movie Review

22-May-2015
The scares in 'Poltergeist' mostly range from predictable bump in the dark to screeching loud just to jolt you. Most of them fall flat, and the added 3D layer doesn't do much than make the already dark film look even darker
'Big Game' - Movie Review

22-May-2015
When it comes to movie fun you can hardly go wrong with 'Big Game'. Let's just hope there's a sequel that is even more ridiculous, pardon the pun, in nature
'Bombay Velvet' - Movie Review

15-May-2015
'Bombay Velvet' is more like a roller coaster ride, as it takes you on a dizzy high with its charming ambience and music that is bound to stay with you for long, but later you are brought down not so gently with the underwhelming plot and lack of punches
'Mad Max: Fury Road' - Movie Review

15-May-2015
George Miller has made one of the, if not THE greatest action movie in the history of cinema. This is by no means an exaggeration – 'Mad Max Fury Road' is so freaking good it makes you wonder if there really is any other film that matches it on any level, be it action or pure visceral thrill
'Danny Collins' - Movie Review

15-May-2015
'Danny Collins' has a bunch of really great moments, and even though the sum of its parts isn't a great film, those little moments are enough to invest you into the story and the characters. There are plenty of laughs along the way, mostly thanks to Al Pacino's gregarious performance
'Piku' - Movie Review

08-May-2015
'Piku' is like the hot chicken broth for the senses, the kind of food you know will soothe you, warm you up inside and more importantly, won't mess with your digestive system. Do watch this one, more so, if you are a Bengali, you won't stop smiling for most of the two plus hour duration
