#TheLazarusEffect(English) Rating: * * An interesting premise leads to an early demise in this limp horror story that never gets it’s scares right! #KinesisFilms #LoudspeakerMedia #OnitaMascarenhas #MauliSingh #MarkDuplass #OliviaWilde #DonaldGlover #EvanPeters #SarahBolger #DavidGelb #RelativityMedia #BlumhouseMosaicproduction #JasonBlum #JimmyMiller #CodyZwieg
#AgainstTheSun (English) Rating:* * * An Intense world War II survivalist drama about three men on a life raft adrift in The Pacific Ocean ( 63 million square miles), one of the most harrowing true stories of that turbulent period, this one may not have the drawing power of #AnjelinaJolie’s #Forbidden but it’s not easily forgotten either. #AghorRajProductions #TomFelton #UniversalCommunications #ParagDesai #GarretDillahunt #JakeAbel #BrianFalk
The hunt for his brother lands the bhola in hot water, going from one crazy situation to another. From the law to an outlaw, Land Mafia Don, Baba (Hanif Hilal)- Gopi has to extricate himself, fructify his search and play cupid. But it’s really not a happy sight.
The treatment is mundane, the performances quite simply amateurish, the music is off-putting and the dialogues going for comedy just don’t have the zing to make it stick. Slap-dash and slap-shtick just don’t mesh well here. The casting is a little opportunistic so not much purchase there either. This one certainly makes sitting in theater seem like a marathon. And to add to your misery you come out feeling defeated and demoralized!

#Badmashiyaan:FunNeverEnds(Hindi) Rating: * Messing with #VantagePoint style and based on the Korean flick ‘Couples’ but without the ingenuity and intelligence required. Back and forth narrative proves tedious and unbecoming for a romcom that doesn’t have any logical story to tell. It’s 2 hrs and 8 minutes of incredible tedium!#RaviGutte #ParullGossain #AmitKhanna #SiddhantGupta #SuzannaMukherjee #KaranMehra #SharibHashmi #GunjanMalhotra
#HeyBro(Hindi) Rating:* A twisted fraternal twins story where one bro searches for his lost family, this one is meant to be funny but grates on your nerves every moment of it’s runtime. Simply unpalatable! #AjayChandhok #VidhiAcharya #NitzNSony #PranavVatsa #GaneshAcharya #ManinderSingh #NupurSharma #HanifHilal #ParagDesai #UniversalCommunications
#DirtyPolitics(Hindi) Rating: * Dirty yes..and disappointing too. Too fragmented to make sense or provide entertainment. More than the dark side of politicians it hopes to expose, this film shows the darker side of desperation that good actors have to undergo in an industry that has little value for their unshirkable abilities. What a great waste of sterling talent! Mallika’s skin show doesn’t have the drawing power anymore. It’s too crude, passé and horrific seeing her trying to seduce old, pot-bellied and decrepit men – too many of them in fact! #MallikaSherawat #JackieShroff #KCBokadia #ParullGossain #BMBMusic&MagneticsLtd #AnupamKher #AtulKulkarni #GovindNamdeo #NaseeruddinShah #OmPuri #RajpalYadav
#CoffeeBloom(Hindi) Rating: * * * A Coming-to- terms of sorts with one’s own intransigencies, this film that explores the mind of a deeply distressed soul searching for peace in his old haunts is a deep and enveloping experience. Craftily narrated, this film speaks volumes through great set-ups and smart performances by #ArjunMathur, #SugandhaGarg & #MohanKapoor. #ManuWarrier’s directorial touches are quite ingenious and impressive. #SpeakingTreePictures #LongLiveCinema #MoesArt #SarjitaJain #SaurabhRathore #ShabditaShrivastav #NatashaBandodkar

#IndiasDaughter(Documentary/English/Hindi) Rating: * * * ½ A shadowy re-enactment of the entire sorry tale that led to a massive emotional outpouring of grief and anguish against brutal, inhuman crimes against women triggered by the heinous ‘Nirbhaya’ rape and murder in the national capital , Delhi. It’s powerful, factual and raises issues that hit our parliamentarians where it hurts most- Not that our media hasn’t covered all this before. Image is everything I guess and when the attack is done from a foreign platform the hurt is long-lasting. Rape is a heinous crime irrespective of country, caste, religion ,community. The film is a historic capture of a movement that began as an outpouring of grief and anguish against brutalising crimes against women... This Film depicts that with sensitivity and is a powerful denouement against our patriarchal value system...doesn't matter that it was made by a Britisher. That's incidental. It’s a must watch! #BBC4Storyville #LesleeUdwin #NickFraser https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tfaurfg7EQ&feature=youtu.be&app=desktop
Hindi Film review

Corpulent Mess
Film: Hey Bro
Cast: Ganesh Acharya, Maninder Singh, Nupur Sharma and Hanif Hilal.
Director: Ajay Chandok
Rating: *
Intended as a comic action drama, this film has part-time bit-part player cum full-time dance choreographer essaying the lead role of Gopi, from a tiny village in Rajasthan, who sets out to Mumbai in serch of his long lost fraternal twin brother (Maninder Singh) and Mother(indrani) who were separated from him at birth. With no address or picture to aid him he pursues this apparent lost cause mainly with the hope of an instinctive identification of filial bonding and strengthened by the presumption (garnered from bollywood cinema) that his brother would look exactly like him.
The treatment is mundane, the performances quite simply amateurish, the music is off-putting and the dialogues going for comedy just don’t have the zing to make it stick. Slap-dash and slap-shtick just don’t mesh well here. The casting is a little opportunistic so not much purchase there either. This one certainly makes sitting in theater seem like a marathon. And to add to your misery you come out feeling defeated and demoralized!
