If the flop-ridden Hindi film industry had its hopes pinned on the new Shah Rukh Khan starrer for salvation, then it’s time to unpin those hopes.
Imtiaz Ali’s eagerly awaited Jab Harry Met Sejal is a lengthy lumbering, baggy and pointless love story….as lengthy, lumbering, etc, as his earlier Tamasha where two grown-up individuals behaved like a bratty unpleasant couple on a reality-show pretending to be people they were not.
Just imagine if Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone met again in an exotic land and decided to play….ummm…. a cranky closet-misogynist tourist guide and a fast-taking vacuous but charming Gujarati tourist.
Fun, no?
Well, no. Not really. Shah Rukh’s Harry with his unabashed cheesiness and ‘cheapness’ plays his part with an arrogant aplomb that seems borrowed from his superstar persona of Aryan Khanna in Maneesh Sharma’s Fan. Here is a man who will do what he wants,...

Directed by National Award Winning filmmaker Rahul Dholakia, Raees, which stars Shah Rukh Khan and set to hit theaters on January 25th, promises an unabashed approach to storytelling, riveting dialogues, and power-packed performances by an ensemble of critically acclaimed talent.
As an artist, Shah Rukh Khan continually reinvents himself and this time in Raees, the undisputed King of Bollywood will captivate fans in a unique avatar who is revered, feared and loved with equal measure. He essays the role of Raees, a man who built an entire empire from scratch in early 1980s to 1990s Gujarat.
Less of a gangster but more of an impresario, Raees gains popularity and trust through his sharp, entrepreneurial and ruthless business mind, eventually turning him into the single most powerful man in the state. His unfettered determination, guided by a heart of gold, earns him a cult following. His character encapsulates a distinct and unique blend of personas,...

Ashim Ahluwalia’s Miss Lovely (2012) leaves an uneasy impression. It is not about its mildly explicit images, titillating posters or exposure to the shady underworld of low-grade semi-porno, horror film industry. It isn’t about the unconventional focus on a low grade film industry either though all of the above linger in the mind of the viewer. The greatest difficulty of Ahluwalia’s film is to have taken on a daunting project without rising to its challenges. The film is hesitant about where its stakes lie—in depicting the reality or in weaving a narrative that discloses the deeper neuroses of an underworld, an overrated glamor industry called Bollywood or an indelible blend of crime and film in India.
The film is set in the underworld of cinema that finds its lonely, sex-starved consumers amongst us, filling their lives with images that are pleasing only in a state of abjection.

There is something about the theatre of the absurd that brings on a volley of unwarranted nonsense in the filmmakers of this country.
Not this time. Fukrey is about an eclectic bunch of no-good students poised between a rapidly-receding adolescence and a reluctant manhood is far funnier, more intelligent sharply – enacted and deftly executed than the recent much-lauded Kai Po Che .
And yes, though the boys think and talk a lot about sex, there is a refreshing absence of double-meanings in the dialogues.
Amazing, no!
In hindsight both the screenplay and performances in Kai Po Che seem somewhat overrated. And I plead guilty to that crime of over-estimation. Fukrey with its inventive plot and wickedly dead-on characterizations is the kind of rare and precious comedy where the actors...

If God lies in the details, then by God, Talaash gets it foot into the temple-door all right. A film about …well, search, pursuit, exploration and salvation Talaash throws forward the kind of “entertainment” that mainstream Hindi cinema was never conceived to be. Walking the tightrope between a whodunit and a supernatural thriller, director Reema Kagti creates a fine distinction between a niche experience and the populist idiom with the two seemingly irreconcilable cinematic experiences coming together in waves of astonishment that hit us as we watch a new idiom of expression come alive in front of our eyes.
It would be in the fitness of things to say, you’ve never quite seen or experienced a film like Talaash. The last half-hour is specially stunning, cutting across that fine line between drama and spiritualism...
