#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 #RaindropMedia #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 #WisdomTreeProductionsPvtLtd 

#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

#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 #EricNipp
#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



English filmed Entertainment Review
Technically perfect but lacks soul and passion is missing. 

Film: Moulin Rouge –Ballet performance

Cast: . Dmitri Dovgoselets,Eric Nipp, Jo-ann Sundermeier, Yayoi Ezawa, Sophia Lee 
Director: Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet

Rating: * * ½                                    
 
Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet have brought their production of ‘Moulin Rouge’ to film.  The Ballet set in the most famous cabaret in history- known for being the birthplace of new dances such as the Cancan and Quadrille, deviates from the plotline as seen in Baz Luhrman’s film.

The period on show is bang in the midst of Paris’ Bohemian revolution –rife with experimentation and freedom. Paris was the place to be for artists and anyone connected to art forms.

The sets, lighting, costumes lent color and luminescence to the production.  Across the board, the dancing was exquisite ..unfortunately the choreography was not. There was simply no passion or sharpness to the rendition and as a result the experience was less than fulfilling.
