#Titli(Hindi) Rating: * * * ½    Dark Dominion. This sinister family saga isn’t a rosy picture a la traditional Bollywood sagas. Not an easy watch. About a dysfunctional family that has no compunction in taking to crime to survive in a disturbia that festers with illicit & amoral behavior, this film is tough on your senses. Brilliant performances, gritty realism, and darkly, uncharitable turns make it an unsympathetic journey that drains you of all excitement and thrills. Compelling but also immensely disturbing. Definitely not for the ‘faint’ hearted  #RanvirShorey #LoudspeakerPR #MauliSingh #MonishaKanwar  #ShashankArora #LalitBehl #ShivaniRaghuvanshi #AmitSial #PrashantSingh #YashRajFilms #DibakarBanerjeeProductions Runtime: 124 min

#OnceUponATimeInBihar(Hindi) Rating: * * * Bihar on their minds. A trifle contrived but nevertheless watchable. White collar job aspirants find corruption and administrative malaise preventing them from achieving their goals and so they end up taking to crime. But crime never pays…does it?  Neatly driven dissentious drama that keeps you engrossed. Shot largely in Buxar & Patna, it’s realism driven & has some stinging points to make. #KantiPrakashJha #DeepakSingh #AjayKumar #AartiPuri #AshwathaTree #NitinChandra #NeetuChandra #SoapboxPR #NilouferZhaveri Runtime: 122 mins

#LoveExchange(Hindi) Rating: * Tedious & Exhausting. No love Lost here. Haplessly Contrived Romcom. Just a whole lot of manufactured irritants that just never come together to make the experience worthwhile. #EntityOne #ParulChawla #PictureNKraft #MohitMadan #JyotiSharma #ManojPahwa #NeeluKohli #ShamaDeshpande #RajuKher #Advik #Roopali #WindsOfChangeEntertainment #RajVShetty #Nadia AliShirazi #GirishWankhede Runtime:124 mins

#GudduKiGun(Hindi) Rating: * *  Cheeky but not funny enough. Shooting blanks instead of firing on all cylinders. A wannabe rampaging sex comedy that prefers to play safe than be sorry(censors). Intermittently funny due to a few smart lines, this one is more of a #Mastram than a #Hunterr. Solid performances help it along the way though. Too forced and extremely juvenile. Nothing organic about it either even if it’s about mainstreaming Biharis located in Kolkata.  #KunalKhemu #ParullGossain #EmenoxMedia #SumeetVyas #PayelSarkar #AparnaSharma #SheershakAnand #ShantanuRayChibber

#MainAurCharles (Hindi) Rating: * * * Suave, seriously sexy and entertaining…but the content is suspect. Slickly Glammed-up poster boy mechanics. Thrill elements are never developed fully so what you get instead is a James bond like women magnet milking his charm for all it’s worth. That’s most of it.There’s plenty of style and the pace is peppy enough to keep you interested. Cinematography and directorial skills are of International standard but the script fails to dig in deep or be more detailed. And #RandeepHooda’s performance is breathtaking. He also oozes serious machismo. #AdilHussain is a marvelous counterpoint. Get on board ladies…  #RandeepHooda #RichaChadda #PrawaalRaman #AdilHussain #CharlesSobhraj #AdilHussain #TiscaChopra #Anastasia #ShantiMei #RajuChadha #AmitKapoor #VikramKhakhar #AlexxONeil #DijanaDejanovic #UniversalCommunications #ParagDesai #WaveCinemas #PontyChadha #CynozureNetworkzProductions Runtime: 123 mins

#Goosebumps(English) Rating: * * ½  This film  manages to capture the feel but not charm of the R L Stine’s written children’s stories, and comes across as a low-scare monster movie targeted at the under 10’s. It doesn't fit in as either genuine horror or comedy; At heart it's a kid's movie with a few obligatory "adult" jokes. #JackBlack #DylanMinnette #OdeyaRush #RyanLee #AmyRyan #JillianBell #DarrenLemke #ScottAlexander #LarryKaraszewski #ColumbiaPictures #LStarCapital

#Burnt(English) Rating: * *  * Looks delicious but is it?  The food looks sumptuous and delicious, the stars are dishy and well turned out but some ingredients are still missing. Complex characters and gastronomical delights alone don’t a great movie make. The drama doesn’t hold it’s head high right up to the end. Exquisitely stunning food cinematography takes the cake though. #BradleyCooper  #Spice #SiennaMiller #OmarSy #DanielBrühl #RiccardoScamarcio #JamieDornan #UmaThurman #EmmaThompson #AliciaVikander #JohnWells #WeinsteinCompany #ShinyPennyProds.#3ArtsEntertainment #BattleMountainFilmsproduction #StaceySher #ErwinStoff #MichaelKalesniko #StevenKnight

#ParanormalActivityTheGhostDimension3D (English) Rating: * ½ After squeezing out most of the found-footage-horror juice from it’s past exploits in the cinemas, this #OrenPeli originated franchise dredges up to it’s sixth( and hopefully final) outing by adding a third dimension. Unspooling over one family yuletide, its found footage captures spectral activity in stereoscopic glory in a house once occupied by the cult now central to series mythology. So it’s ghosts are no longer suspect. You see them and poof goes the thrills and the scares. Unspooling over one family yuletide, its found footage catches stereoscopic flickers of spectral activity around a house once occupied by the cult now central to series mythology. Nothing scary or half-way interesting about this. #ParamountPictures  #Blumhouse #SolanaFilms #Room101Production #JasonBlum #OrenPeli #GregoryPlotkin #ChrisJMurray #BritShaw #IvyGeorge #DanGill #OliviaTaylorDudley #HallieFoote #CaraPifko #AidenLovekamp Runtime:95 mins

A realistic take on the rot that sets in when the system lies neglected for decades, this film is about a couple of youngsters armed with degrees and sky-high ambition, seeking out white collar jobs in the hopes of offsetting their debilitating poverty. But corruption and administrative meddling puts paid to their hopes –leaving them no alternative but to take to crime.
the protagonists begin as crusaders fighting oppression and anarchy at every turn but when it comes to their own lives and the demands on it, they fail to sustain that zeal and fall prey to criminal behavior. It’s desperate measure s for desperate situations but the end result is no happy street.

Rajiv Kumar (Kranti Prakash Jha), a failed IAS aspirant has to make do with tutoring in order to get his sister married. But an ambition to set-up a coaching class in the alien Buxar region doesn’t come to fruition for want of a Bank loan. Shankar (Deepak Singh) on the other hand qualifies to bag a government job but his stand against corruption leaves him bereft of opportunity. Disillusioned, the two friends and a disengaged roadside stall worker, team up to set an abduction plan in motion. Unfortunately for them, they end up abducting the wrong guy

Nitin Chandra , debutant director  , did the rounds of festivals with the original Bhojpuri version(Deswa)  of this film and finding no mainstream takers decided to give it a more acceptable Hindi finish. So this one’s more or less the same  film in a different language. It’s realistic, tempered with care and presentable. Despite a few narrative hi-jinks, the film scores some well nurtured hits in favor of educated, unemployed youths who find it difficult to get jobs in a country where caste bias, parochialism and sons-of-soil dogmatism  rules.
