#PicksAndPiquesSnippetFilmReview18thSept2015

 

#KattiBatti (Hindi) Rating: * * A wannabe ‘trendy’ romcom, this one is terribly sour and off-putting. #SweetNovember it is not even though it gamely tries to put on a façade of difference with riffs from hit romantic movies.  #NikhilAdvani, who just last week, punched us in the face with his valentine to star progeny, #Hero, gets us in too much of a bother with a patchy, haphazard, disenchanting & infantile romance that gets your goat for it’s absolute rabidity. Bad writing, clichéd characterizations and terrible helming plague it bigtime. #KalHoNaHo kisko pata but for today it’s kaput for this prolific director who has had so many missed chances that he can’t justify another one! What a crying shame #AamirKhan! P.S Aamir would probably need a well to cry his nephew’s career from out of this hell. #NikhilAdvani #KanganaRanaut #ImranKhan #EmmayEntertainment #UTVMotionPictures #SiddharthRoyKapur #PVRPictures #AnshulSinghal #SpicePR Runtime: 135 mins

 

#MeeruthiyaGangsters (Hindi) Rating: * * Barely amusing & consistently tedious. This farcical gangster crap has an uninteresting tone, languid pace & little of interest other than that of a bunch of potentially talented, lesser known actors readying themselves for their big chance.#ZeishanQuadri #AnuragKashyap #PrateekGroup #PrateekTiwari #ShoebAhmed  #JatinSarna #SanjayMishra #NushratBharucha #IshitaSharma #BrijendraKala #MalkhanSingh #SoundaryaSharma #RahulDev #ParullGossainPR #AakashDahiya #VanshBhardwaj #ChandrachoorRai #ShadabKamal #JatinSarna #NikhilPunia#JaideepAhlawat Runtime: 129 mins

 

#MSG2TheMessenger (Hindi) Rating: * This God of small things does a repeat for his fans & Supporters, hoping to add a few along the way but the experience is just as crass an exercise in futility as the first salvo fired a couple of years ago. Supposedly based on true events, this self-aggrandizing benevolent exercise for achieving divine ordination is a surprisingly agile laugh riot( unintentional of course)!   #KitKatEntertainmentPvtLtd #DanielKaleb #FlloraSaini #JayshreeSoni #SantGurmeetRamRahimSinghJiInsan #RajuPandit #JeetuAroraInsan #HakikatEntertainment #QMedia #BeenaAhuja #OlexandraSemen #GauravGera Runtime: 197 mins

 

#DunnoY2LifeIsAMoment (Hindi) Rating: *  No reason why…A Norwegian co-production with Pakistani, Indian and European actors, this sequel to #DunnoYNaJaaneKyon has little reason to exist other than the shock value it generates through it’s copious obviousness as a gay love story. It’s Queer but uninteresting. Shabby&undignified  in terms of narrative structure, tone &tenor,  it has very little to interest other than songs by #LataMangeshkar & SalmaAgha & #ZeenatAman’s big screen return. #KapilSharma #YuvraajParasher #SalmaAgha #TonjeGjevjon #MonaKlubben #SadiaKhan #EdithRothGjevjon #SanjaySharma  Runtime: 127 mins

 

#BlackMass(English) * * * A top-notch star cast isn’t able to save this crime thriller cum biopic from procedural disenchantment. In spite of it’s agonizing brutality it doesn’t manage to make it to chilling -#JohnnyDepp’s cosmetic performance may have struck the right poses but the depth and dimension of menace is missing. His performance comes across as a well shrouded designer mask meant for Halloween with no inkling of who is inside. A thinly written caricature this. #JohnnyDepp #WarnerBros  #BenedictCummerbatch #JoelEdgerton #KevinBacon #PeterSarsgaard #JesseFlemons #DakotaJohnson #CoreyStoll #ScottCooper Runtime: 122 mins

 

#Everest (English/Imax) Rating: * * ½ A true story . One would think that an expedition on the world’s highest peak, (with A list Hollywood actors) set in the most dangerous place on earth, would generate some great adrenaline rush and breathtaking thrills  but that’s just not happening here. The vistas are stunning, even assaulting but the action pales into insignificance- getting lost in the worst snowstorm ever experienced on film!  #JoshBrolin #UniversalPictures #MoesArt #JascintoFernandes #ChandrasekharNeeli #JasonClarke #JohnHawkes #RobinWright #EmilyWatson #KeiraKnightley #SamWorthington #JakeGyllenhaal #BaltasarKormákur #SaurabhRathore

#PawnSacrifice (English) Rating: * * * The #BobbyFischer-#BorisSpassky legend, considered the greatest match in chess history, lives on in this cinematic rendition, a bio-pic that details American #BobbyFischer’s unheralded rise onto the world stage as an eccentric rookie chess challenger who pulled the rug from right under the feet of Russian hegemony at the World Chess championships in Reykjavik #TobeyMacguire #LievShrieber #PVRPictures #BobbyFischer #BorisSpassky #MultivisionFilms #HardlyAnonymous #PeterSarsgaard #EdwardZwick Runtime: 116 mins
