#TereBinLadenDeadOrAlive(Hindi) Rating: * * Dead beat, terribly uninteresting and stale. There’s little humor and nothing creative in this washed-out offering. Save for #SikanderKher’s versatile transformations and Manas Choudhury’s innovative sound design there’s no novelty either. #SikanderKher #PradhumanSingh  #AbhishekSharma #WalkwaterMedia #PhantomFilms #RaindropAlterEgo #PoojaShettyDeora #AartiShetty #ManishPaul #AliZafar #SugandaGarg #MiaUyeda #PiyushMishra #DhruvDhalla #AmalenduChaudhary #ChandanArora Runtime: 110 mins

       

#BollywoodDiaries(Hindi) Rating: *** bittersweet story about ‘wannabe’ actors’ struggle for tinsel glory this one hits the right notes to make the cut. Integral performances from #AshishVidyarthi #RaimaSen #SalimDiwan & supporting cast add weight to the attachment. #KDSatyam #AshishVidyarthi #RaimaSen #HemaUpadhyayPR #1HMedia #DrSattarDiwan #RehabPicturesPrivateLtd #EagleEyeEntertainmentLLP #ZeeStudios   #CineMArketsDigitalSolutions #KarunaPandey #VineetKumarSingh Runtime: 110 mins

 

#Aligarh(Hindi) Rating: **** A true incident is given a compassionate color. The film exposes the heartlessness of the sloganeering self appointed moral police. It’s both insightful and resounding in it’s affect.Tarriffic performances from #ManojBajpai & #RajKumarRao. #HansalMehta #ApurvaAsrani #RajKumarRao #ManojBajpayee #PracharMedia  #Rukkeshh #ErosEntertainment  #AshishVidyarthi  #KaranKulkarni #SatyaRaiNagpaul #ShrinibasRamchandraSiras #DeepuSebastian #KarmaPictures Runtime: 120 mins

 

#LoveShagun(Hindi) Rating: * ½   A silly romance splintered by old fashioned complications. Aiming for a Basu Chatterjee style make-believe but ending up as confused and unappealing. Nothing romantic or comic about this. Music is passable though.   #AnujSachdeva #NidhiSubbaiah #ShaminMannan #VikramKochhar #ManitJoura #TaranBajaj #SimpySingh #AshwaniShukla #AltairMedia #ParulChawla #PictureNKraft #SandeshNayak #IshaNayak #ShaminMannan #SaanviPicturesPvtLtd #VivekKRawat #KarthikPalani #AartiBajaj #RishiSidharth #AshishPandit #BandOfBandagi Runtime:120 mins

#Rhythm(Hindi) Rating: * ½  Shot in Poland this film took nearly six years to hit the screens and it shows. It’s a beleaguered musical and constricted romance without much sweetness or depth in it’s telling. #AdeelChaudhry #RinilRouth  #RNKumar #ParagDesai #UniversalCommunications  #VickyFilmsPvtLtd #VivekKumar #ManishMore #SureshPeters #SalmanAhmed #PranayRijia #NaveedZafar Runtime:120 mins

#TheRevenant(English) Rating: * * * * Painfully Brutal ,Haunting man versus Nature survival saga.

#GodsOfEgypt(English) Rating: * * ½ Gamey Spectacle. All shine but no luster. The action is a spectacle but not exactly of celestial proportions. #Viacom18 #JankiPatel #GerardButler #BrendonThwaites #GeoffreyRush #NikolaiCosterWaldau #ElodieYung #RachaelBlake #CourtneyEaton #BryanBrown #EmmaBooth #MattSazama #BurkSharpless #PeterMenziesJr  #Lionsgate #SummitEntertainment #ThunderRoadPictures #MysteryClockCinemaProduction #BasilIwanyk #AlexProyas Runtime: 127 mins

 

#TichaUmbartha(Marathi) Rating: * * ½ A melodramatic tear-jerker that yanks at your heart-strings with it’s attempt to pave an emotional path for a divorced woman’s right to live in her marital home. #RaviDewan #RDXEntertainment #RamMedia #RamKondilkarPR #PradeepGhonsikar #ChinmayMandlekar #TejaswiniPandit #SuyashTilak #JyotiChandekar #SheetalShukla #HarshaKhandeparkar #TulikaPrakashNikam #BharatSharma #JayantPatekar #AditiSawant Runtime: 122 mins
