#Haider(Hindi) Rating: * * * Brooding mayhem! There’s chaos in the plotting but in terms of form it’s one of a kind. Kashmir has never looked so incredibly beautiful on screen before. The beautiful compositions both visual and aural convey a uniqueness that transports you right into the unparalleled natural beauty, turmoil and turbulence of the troubled state. Unfortunately they don’t fit well in the schema of the brooding dark narrative that #VishalBharadwaj employs. And neither does the background score which attempts to go pop whenever there’s an event in store. This attempt of a Hamlet set in Kashmir has it’s moments of intense engagement but the unconvincing plotting and unsavory attempts at levity (Chutzpah-AFSPA)makes it well short of bountiful. It’s an ambitious effort but not exactly a brilliant one. #Tabu is magnificent as the new-age Mother India #KayKay is amazing and #IrrfanKhan adds lethality to that brilliance. Production design by #SubrataChakraborty & #AmitRay, costume design by #DollyAhluwaliaTewari, cinematography by #PankajKumar are outstanding. #VishalBharadwaj #DisneyUTV #ShahidKapoor #Tabu #ShraddhaKapoor #IrrfanKhan #KayKayMenon #ParulGossainPR #SiddharthRoyKapoor




#BangBang(Hindi)Rating: * * ½ If you’ve left your brains behind then this one’s Fun on the run! Hrithik’s Krish-tricks, Katrina’s sweetly compelling loveliness, foot-tapping dance music, utterly stupid dialogues and touristy thrills makes this ##SiddharthAnand helmed showy but patchy, stunted action-thriller a mindless entertainer(of sorts)! Besides the obvious eye-candy gloss of a Hrithik-Katrina pairing, there’s impeccable #JimmyShergill essaying a brief but important role #PawanMalhotra makes his presence felt and a reinvented (in terms of looks) #DannyDengzongpa provides caricatured menace. #HrithikRoshan #KatrinaKaif #FoxStarMovies #JimmyShergill #KanwaljeetSingh #DeeptiNaval #PawanMalhotra #SpicePR


#SangtoAika(Marathi)Rating:* * * Novel Engagement with #SachinPilgoankar doing impeccable lead honors as the alcoholic stand up comedian who finds himself all alone at the crossroads of life when he becomes fall-guy for political expediency. Veering towards the mainstream in it’s treatment but completely involving nevertheless. #SachinPilgoankar #SatishRajwade #BhauKadam #ParagKulkarni #VidhiKasliwal #SuhasGujrati #MilindShinde
