Picks&Piques/Snippet Film reviews/18thJuly2014/Johnson Thomas

#HateStory2(Hindi) Rating: *  * Erotic revenge drama that tries hard to draw it’s strength from scantily clad women, bold bedroom scenes and an extra dose of #SunnyLeone as a sensuous item. New leads #SurveenChawla and #JayBhanushali don’t add up to much and the experience is more banal than arousing! #VishalPandya #SushantSingh #VikramBhatt #BhushanKumar

#Pizza (3D/hindi) Rating: * 1/2  Ridiculously titled, attempt at suspense/Horror, this one plays a disgusting con on the audience and you come out wondering why? The 3D is just so pointless #AkshayOberoi #AkshayAkkineni #ParvatiOmanakuttan #DipanitaSharma #ArunodaySingh #RajeshSharma #UTVSpotboy #GetawayFilms

#Amit Sahni ki List(Hindi) Rating: * * ½ As a stand-up #VirrDas is unparalleled but as an actor, he needs to pick better projects to make a mark. This attempt at romcom based on a guy’s list of attributes for his soul-mate, which he puts up on Facebook, is unusual but not completely immersive! It’s Possible that this could get the multiplex crowd in a twitter though. #VeraTamotia #AnuMenon #AjayBhuyan #PyxisPictures

#Bazaar-e-Husn (Hindi) Rating: *  *  1/2 Director #AjayMehra tries hard to invoke the nostalgia of an era passed, through this adaptation of age old(1919) outdated #MunshiPremchand story - aperiod piece, enlisting #Khayyam’s  ‘#RaziaSultan’ ish musical support. Fairly competent invoking of #Pakeezah  & #Umrao Jaan moments but without the tension or emotive appeal. Not strong on mood either. #ReshmiGhosh, #OmPuri #YashpalSharma #AshwaniShukla #Altairmedia

#Riyasat(Hindi) Rating: * The last&worst  #RajeshKhanna Starrer, this #Godfather wannabe is inept, slack and unremitting in all the departments!  #AshwaniShukla #Altairmedia #AshokTyagi #AryemanRamsay #AryanVaid

 

#Begin Again(English) Rating: *  *  * ½  previously titled ‘#CanASongSaveYourLife?’, this musical romcom about what happens when lost souls meet and make beautiful music together, gradually gets you in the mood for music and love. And #KeiraKnightley can sing soulfully too! #JohnCarney  #AdamLevine #MarkRuffalo #PVRDirectorsRare #catherineKeener #WeinsteinCo

#Planes:Fire&Rescue Rating: * * ½ A fairly effective animated salute to America’s firefighter heroes. #WaltDisneyStudios #BobsGannaway #DaneCook, #Ed Harris, #Julie Bowen
