  Bollywood Film Movie Documentary Review Johnson Thomas Far from gritty or engaging Film : Runway 34 Cast: Ajay Devgn, Amitabh Bachchan, Boman Irani, Rakul Preet Singh, Angira Dhar, Aakanksha Singh Director: Ajay Devgn Rating: * * Runtime: 148 mins   Ajay Devgn’s third attempt at direction ( after U, Me Aur Hum and Shivaay) is a motley collection of verbose sequences and very little crusty action. Designed to be an action cum investigative thriller, this film which is loosely based on a real life near disaster, fails to recreate either the tensions or the thrills associated with high-flying-into-danger scenario.

The fictional flight here is from Dubai to Kochi viz. Trivandrum in a much smaller skyline a...

  Bollywood Hindi Film Movie Review Johnson Thomas Too long drawn to be effective Film: Operation Romeo Cast: Bhumika Chawla, Siddhant Gupta, Sharad Kelkar, Vedika Pinto, Kishore Kadam, Navni Parihar Director: Shashant Shah Producer: Shital Bhatia, Neeraj Pandey Writer: Ratheesh Ravi, Arshad Syed Rating: * * ½ Runtime: 135 mins   The official remake of Anuraj Manohar’s Malayalam film, 'Ishq Not A Love Story, '     and inspired by a true event, Shashant Shah’s ‘Operation Romeo’ has an interesting enough plot that turns on its head post interval but the manner in which it is narrated and presented leaves a lot to be desired. The setting is totally off. Using Mumbai as a backdrop for a story that highlights toxic masculinity while pitting it against evolving feminism, the director and writers fail to make it compelling or meaningful. The issue or theme is not the problem here. The fact that in a city like Mumbai where nightlife is a given, chances of being caught in the...
