Dear Zindagi (2016)
9/10
A must watch !!!
26 November 2016
Totally glued.. stuck .. mesmerized .. that's what " Dear Zindagi" will do to you A standing ovation performance by Alia.. Too good, awesome, rocking.. words elude me today .. such an eased out acting.. perfect portrayal of a girl next door.. of a girl with real issues !! Torn jeans.. cool tops.. what a style statement.. Alia looks good all through out.. She is true hero of the movie.. SRK is the second lead 😬😜 but has done total justice to his role as "Brain ka doctor" . The ease with which he explains tough situations of life by his simple theories.. truly that's some research work by the content n writer's team .. Rohit : The new kid on the block shows a big potential .. he's made his presence felt in his very first .. How a small mistake by a parent can affect a child.. well emoted.. The confusion, the impulsiveness of current generation.. their reactive self is reality of today ..After one walks out of the theatre , one is bound to think that we as parents probably could deal with today's teens in a slightly better way for them to sail through their issues smoothly.. Moving on ..Ali / Kunal / Angad : Look good - fit good to the plot If you looking for Romance - don't watch it ; if you looking for slapstick comedy - don't watch it ; if you looking for item songs - don't watch it.. Only if you looking for substance , a mature content , a subject well dealt - go book it now .. worth every penny .. worth every minute ..

Rustom (2016)
Akshay stands tall as Rustum
13 August 2016
Patriotism or Infidelity, Love for Nation or love for wife.. Was the director confused? So decided to keep both as main ingredients of this Thriller... So whats " Rustom " - Murder Mystery?? But then we know the murderer in first 30 mins.. Is it about " why she did what she did" Its easily given out in first half.. So here it goes- Rustom is a courtroom story of how a naval officer .. Defends himself.. How a judge gets in humour while the trial is on.. How a sister can wear a deep red pout while pleading to convict her brother's killer !! Ileana is overdosed on glycerin .. But so far this is her best.. Esha Gupta hired herself a new designer and she got this platform to show it all.. Otherwise who wears a page 3 outfit to court.. Arjan- nothing great about him.. His acting skills remain where they were.. Akshay... As good as he gets.. He is ageing gracefully and has totally justified his screen space. Songs can be given a pass.. Hats off to the casting director Shruti Mahajan for collecting together a well fitted cast.. Be it the investigating officer or the newspaper head who brought in the humour in n otherwise serious watch.. πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ for you girl!! The story keeps one gripped.. Those who like courtroom drama .. Should watch!!

Dishoom (2016)
6/10
Can give it a pass!!
29 July 2016
Sau tarah ke rog le loon 🎼🎼... Most amazing part of the movie.. Its background score.. This song is on repeat mode.. Says who that daddy Dhawan wont be biased.. With all the "to be remembered" dialogues given to Varun .. Its Daddy's bias😜 So what is Dhishoom .. Slapstick thriller or a slapstick comedy .. Maybe a combo A mission.. With backdrop of ever so popular Cricket and the IPL signature tune.. Varun refuses to grow up.. Still in chota bhai role John - looks good. And that's it . Jacqueline- only finds her time to glory in few songs.. No substantial contribution. Dhishum could have been made without her Good to see Akshaye Khanna realizes that he ain't good in hero roles n has gracefully graduated to being the somber Villain.. If doing nothing this weekend, its good for a Timepass.. Typical David Dhawan masala movie

Ki & Ka (2016)
5/10
Confusing !!
24 July 2016
Amitabh & Jaya - What a screen presence ya!! Till today they have the capability to put the screen on fire!! Arjun is high on his weight and Kareena high on her wrinkles.. Endorsements and more.. Saffola, lakme, daawat rice , vistara.. What not .. Needed? Not sure Movie tries to make a point but lacks clarity.. Director looks fascinated by trains to have shot in Rail Museum and then have trains all over the house.. A train from kitchen to dining table .. Cmon !! Swaroop Sampat leaves her mark as a confident and liberal mom.. Kareena's acting shows traces of jab we met but nothing close.. Arjun Kapoor is just playing victim.. Movie has its highs / lows and lull moments .. But should watch it once just for the concept of Ki & Ka .. Workable or not workable depends!!

Housefull 3 (2016)
7/10
Best out of the 3 !!
23 July 2016
Housefull 3 - Post a month long break from bollywood .. This one certainly was not the movie to get back too.. Slapstick comedy .. Identity crisis.. Mistaken identity.. Multiple personality disorders all blended and out comes Housefull 3 Akshay - you are allowed one of this kind ..esp after Gabbar & Airlift.. Looking young and handsome to core.. Superb comic timing.. Abhishek is there because he has to be somewhere.. Ritesh is cute n guess a lucky charm for the series Find no reasons why Jaqueline is almost in all frames with most of the female lead dialouges in her kitty .. Hmmm we wonder !! Though she seems to have changed her makeup artist .. Made her look all bright n shiny that she outshines Lisa & Nargis Movie based in London for not so sure reasons except may be the director loved the castle too much by the river .. Silly abbreviations and cheeky translations like ATM- ab tujhe maaroonga and " tum neebu kee roshni main mat raho "- for tum limelight main mat raho is the only thing that could make you laugh ..if anything could . London wax museum has been publicised .. Aishwarya n Genelia's mention by their hubbies get in few funny moments.. Music is worth a popcorn break .. One time watch !! In the Housefull series this would be the best bet πŸ‘

Madaari (2016)
9/10
Irfaan .. He's Arrived
23 July 2016
A son needs a father.. A fact .. But importance of a son in his father's life.. Is what one sees in this highly turbulent and emotionally charged up saga called - MADAARI Bow down to Irfaan - An an actor .. He's arrived and he's there to stay .. Deliverables through dialogues is sidelined by what his eyes speak The Child actor - Vishesh Bansal .. Can give our star kids a run for money.. Poise . Maturity and still the cuteness and vulnerability all in a glace.. Sure he made his parents proud on this one..Boy - he actually gave Irfaan - takkar 😁 Jimmy Shergill seems getting type-casted in police roles but done full justice to it.. Tushar Dalvi is a surprise package and is seen doing great in realistic shots There is nothing in this movie which looks unreal.. Feels it can happen to anyone.. Few high on drama scenes leave impact be it Irfan's debates on call with the ministry or the end QnA session of the corrupted ones. What steals the show is when the one kidnapped goes and hugs his kidnapper πŸ‘πŸ‘ Don't give this one a miss.. Worth every penny spent .. Even the tear that you may drop at the end

Sultan (2016)
9/10
Eid gift by Salman
23 July 2016
So you know when its Salman's Release on Eid .. Its gonna be a bang bang!! Determination, Conviction , drama , sportsmanship .. All under one roof No wonder its going housefull for the power packed performance that it was!! Salman !! Rightly called "Old Wine" .. Only he could have played the focused yet a vulnerable SULTAN at the same time .. Anoushka has acted πŸ€”πŸ€”For a change the focus has moved from her lip surgery and one can see her balancing it well within the aura of Sultan .. Casting director should get extra brownie points .. What a support cast with Randeep Hooda , Amit Sadh and the character of Govind as sultan's best friend and support .. Haryanvi Accent well perfected by the characters steals the show Gripping screenplay.. Well emoted emotions .. Good support cast has made it a perfect entertainer !! A must watch as its rare to see audience clapping during a movieπŸ‘πŸ‘
