Its distended, incoherent and terribly messy (not massy) Not a single sequence holds your attention. The editing, helming, performances, cinematography, music and production design are pretty much retrograde. BE wise.Avoid! Cast: #VarunDhawan #KeerthySuresh #WamiqaGabbi #JackieShroff #RajpalYadav.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReview #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit Film: #Vanwaas Rating: * * Oldfashioned family drama with heavy dose of emotion, melodrama. The story had merits but the treatment does not allow for genuine affection. It’s too preachy, long-drawn & tedious to sit through. The performances are the mainstay here.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReview #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit Film: #Bougainvillae Rating: * * (#Malayalam) Psychological crime thriller that drags around for more than half its runtime before getting to the point. Psycho part feels like it came way out of left field. Too long drawn & unjustified to curry favor with an audience.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReview #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit Film: #GirlsWillBeGirls Rating: * * * 1/2 A coming-of-age exploration that tenderly highlights the female experience, this film keeps you absorbed and engaged through its complicated fabric of interpersonal relationships & heartbreaks. Touching performanc es & assured helming make it memorable Director: #ShuchiTalati Runtime: 119 min Cast: #KaniKusruti #PreetiPanigrahi #KesavBinoyKiron #DevikaShahani #JitinGulati #KajolChugh #AmanDesai #AkashPramanik #AmazonPrime #BlinkDigital #IndoFrenchCoproduction #DolceVitaFilms #PushingButtonsStudios #CinemaInutile #HummelFilms #CrawlingAngelFilms #everyone #everyonefollowers

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReview #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit Film: #Outhouse Rating: * * This attempt at heartwarming exploration of companionship, connection & unexpected adventures fails to draw you in because of sloppy direction, discontinuous camerawork & unpolished scripting. The actors are the only draw here.
