Department
What do kids do when they get a new toy? Well, they experiment with it. What does a director who is known to be a genius technician do when he’s given a new camera? He inevitably experiments and raises the bar. But innovating while making a movie is no child’s ...

Mr. Bhatti On Chutti
Not every film releases as planned and, at times, it could be years before it emerges from the cans. Mr. Bhatti On Chutti is one such film. So, before the credits start to roll, Anupam Kher appears on screen and attempts to explain this dated film. He tells the audience ...

Rowdy It Is
Dhadhang dhang(Wajid, Shreya Ghoshal) is a tacky number, straight out of a Govinda film from the ‘90s. In fact, the track seems like an extension of O lal dupatte wali (Aankhen). The composers wrap Sameer’s cheesy lyrics (strongly yeh tera jaado mujhpe chal gaya) arounda clichéd drum bed to create ...

Ishaqzaade
Right from the word ‘GO’, with the theatrical promos and themuch-anticipated debut of ArjunKapoor, Yash Raj Films’ Ishaqzaade hasbeen creating waves. From the first lookof the film, it was apparent that this wasnot the usual love story and it had somethingexceptional to offer.
Ishaqzaade is set in a small ...

Dangerous Ishhq
Movies based on reincarnation are dime a dozen but being reincarnated four times before being reunited with one’s lover is definitely a first! That’s the basic premise of Vikram Bhatt’s Dangerous Ishhq. The twist in the tale is that the villain is also besotted with the woman so he too ...

Appalling!
There was a time when a Ram Gopal Varma flick guaranteed good music (Kshana Kshanam, Shiva, Rangeela, Satya and Mast). But in the last few years, not one of his films has had a single noteworthy song. Sadly, the soundtrack of Department is no better.
Composers Dharam-Sandeep lift the ...

Jannat 2
What do you do when you have an A-Class actor but the role played by the second hero is more powerful? Should you switch the roles? But that would dilute the experience of the film. So, what do you do?
The answer is – writing that blends with powerful ...
Fatso!
We have watched films based on re-incarnation before. Years ago, there was Lok Parlok (1979) featuring Jeetendra who dies and goes to Yamlok and later returns to earth with Yamraj and Chitragupt. Fatso! is a modernised version of Lok Parlok, which was loud and made for the masses. However, the ...

Electrifying!
Ishaqzaade opens marvelously with the evocative notes of a horn, setting the mood for a mesmerising romantic number. Amit Trivedi ropes in mainstream singers like Javed Ali and Shreya Ghoshal to render this mellow ballad.
Ali, who takes centre-stage for most parts of this number, is particularly soulful. The ...

The Avengers
Marvel Studios knew just what a potpourri of superheroes in one film could do – cast a web of magnetism over all comic book fans.The Avengers is a casting coup of sorts,which was possible due to the lavish budget. With box office hits like The Hulk,Iron Man, Thor and Captain ...

Life Ki Toh Lag Gayi
The word ‘confusing’ would best sum up this film. This is an episodic film comprising four episodes, all of them interconnected with Mumbai as the common backdrop. It’s full of twists and turns, and after that, nothing! A waste of precious time.
Neither does the film hold your attention, ...
Tezz
When you have the budget (the production value is rich and visible in every frame), a talented and A-list actor and a director who is a brand, you can’t go wrong, right? Still Priyadarshan has managed to make a film that is a total disappointment. In an ironic way, that’s ...
Repeat Winner
Back in 2008, Jannat, a small film about match fixingin cricket, made a killing at the box office. And Pritam’s melodies had played a vital role in drawing the crowds to this Emraan Hashmi-starrer.Five years later, the same team returns with Jannat 2, this time tackling the issue of illegal ...

Hate Story
It’s the story of a woman who uses her sexuality as a weapon to seek revenge after she is professionally and sexually exploited. Written by Vikram Bhatt, this film lacks the usual touch. The story is a blend of romance and emotion, peppered with a little hatred. But it lacks ...

Vicky Donor
When an actor turns producer, he showcases his untapped talent. But this film’s different. With Vicky Donor, John Abraham turns producer but he doesn’t use the film as a showreel for himself. Instead, he produces entertaining cinema. Abraham doesn’t feature in the film (except in an item song, which appears ...
Anything But!
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is an outstanding singer. That’s a fact. But how we wish he would refrain from singing every song that came his way. Tere bina is a typical love ballad that one has heard Khan sing innumerable times. The ordinary melody and trite lyrics like Tere bina ...

Chhodo Kal Ki Baatein
For some people, the most awful thing about life is not knowing what’s going to happen next. But Chhodo Kal Ki Baatein proves it can get worse – knowing what’s going to happen next. If you were stuck in the same day over and over again, what would you do?

Bittoo Boss
Trailers can be deceptive. So don’t fall for the light-hearted trailer of Bittoo Boss. In fact, the makers have cleverly crafted the trailer to resemble Yash Raj Film’s Band Baaja Baaraat. Supavitra Babul’s Bittoo Boss is a sheer disappointment. It is monotonous and vague, and the writing is a letdown.
