#Ungli(Hindi) Rating: * * ½ Aiming to touch a chord with the common man but not with any great finesse or passion. This sort of ‘expose’ vigilantism has become passé now. This film has come a couple of years too late to connect with the audience!   #DharmaProductions #KaranJohar #NilouferQuereshi #RensilD’Silva #MFilms #AAFilmsNationwide #EmraanHashmi #SanjayDutt #RandeepHooda #NehaDhupia #KanganaRanaut


#ZedPlus(Hindi) Rating: * * * a stirring pseudo-political satire with fine touches of humor and enlivening performances. On the lines of ‘Peepli Live’ but couldn’t manage the same bandwidth. The plotting though was a little too ambitious to be empathetically remunerative. #BeenaAhuja #ChandraprakashDwivedi #NiyatiMShah #AkshayMShah #AdilHussain #MukeshTiwari #MonaSingh #SanjayMishra #KulbhushanKharbanda #KKRaina #RahulSingh #MukundPurohitProductionPvtLtd #MandiraKashyap #WisdonTreeProductionsPvtLtd


#Zid(Hindi) Rating: * *  Debutants feature in this #AnubhavSinha production that makes a song and dance out of nothing. Sexy, Sinful, Sinister adwords don’t make for an erotic psychological thriller- it’s in fact a little too much promise with no deliverance.  #BenarasMediaworks #JanishHAjmera #KiranBalaFilms #STVNetworksNationwide #MushtaqShiekh #Manaara #ShraddhaDas #KaranvirSharma #VivekAgnihotri


#HumHainTeenKhurafaati( Hindi) Rating: * Meant to be funny but painfully unprepossessing & irritating. #RajeshwarChauhan #MausamSharma #PranshuKaushal #Shreya #NikkitaButola #SoniyaKaur #Panno


#TheHungerGamesMockingjayPart1( English) Rating: * * ½  Stretching it thin. This first part of a two-part sequel of a super successful young-adult dystopian fantasy adaptation franchise looks like it’s seeking to keep you curious without giving you the requisite amount of thrills & excitement expected. Far too grey and grim to cut it with the discerning audience.  #PVRPictures #HardlyAnonymousCommunications #AbhishekThukral #PriyankaVaswani #JenniferLawrence #FrancisLawrence #LiamHemsworth #JoshHutcherson #JulianneMoore #SamClaflin #DonaldSutherland #WoodyHarrelson #ElizabethBanks #PhilipSeymourHoffman #StanleyTucci #NatalieDormer #WesChatham #TobyJones #WillowShields #LilyRabe #EldenHenson #RobertKnepper #JeffreyWright #JenaMalone
 
#MoulinRouge(English/LiveFilmedTheatre/Ballet) Rating: * * ½ Winnipeg’s Musical Dance ballet performance had solid activity, malleable movements, excellent backdrops  but the lack of creativity, excitement & passion was galling!  #PVRLive #AvianMedia  #JordenMorris #DimitriDovgoselets #JoannSundermeier #YayoiEzawa #SophiaLee #EricNips

 
#PenguinsOfMadagascar(English/3D) Rating: * * * Sugary sweet and agonizingly so. This animated Penguin’s adventure is visually exciting for the first hour or so. After that it all begins to pall. Too much of a good thing is not necessarily a good thing. Kids won’t complain though! #FoxStarEntertainment #ParagDesai #UniversalCommunications #TomMcGrath #ChrisMiller #ChristopherKnights #JohnMalkovich #BenedictCumberbatch #KenJeong #AnnetMahendru #PeterStormare #AndyRichter  #EricDarnell #SimonJSmith


 
#HorribleBosses2(English) Rating: * * It’s not a social comment but an anti-social one. In bad taste and exemplifying greed for the lucre with it’s very existence. Brief spells of humor in a sea of un-requiting raunchiness. This adult comedy uses blatantly risqué asides to bag it’s few laughs. The sexual innuendos and tediously explanatory dialogue makes it too much of a yawn!  #AnkitAgarwal #WarnerBrosPictures #JasonBateman #JenniferAniston  #JasonSudekis #CharlieDay #ChrisPine #ChristophWaltz #SeanAnders
