#BudhiaSinghBornToRun a.k.a #Duronto(Hindi) Rating: * * * ½ A much better sports drama film than even #BhaagMilkhaBhaag, this based-on-a-true-life story, is impressively cogent and supremely potent in it’s raising of issues regarding child exploitation juxtaposed within the context of poverty and prodigality #SoumendraPadhi #ManojBajpayee #TilottamaShome #MayurGajendraPatole #ShrutiMarathe #GajrajRao #RajanBhise #ChhayaKadam #GopalSingh #PrasadPandit #RaindropAlterEgo #RaindropMedia #Viacom18 #manojKumarKhatoi #ShivkumarPanicker Runtime:124 mins
#ChauthiKoot(Punjabi/EnglishSubtitles) Rating: * * * ½ This is a sedately paced drama that highlights the lives of a Hindu and a Sikh family caught in the aftermath of the 1980’s Khalistan movement which peaked when the army stormed the Golden temple and as a consequence then #PM #IndiraGandhi was assassinated followed by the anti-Sikh riots. The fear, the terror of being caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, the struggle to stay alive amidst fear and loathing comes to life in #GurvinderSingh’s achingly real telling. The performances and cinematography are above board. The plotting is designed to up the tension by several notches. There’s hardly any dialogue & it’s the background sounds that make the telling ominous. Cinematography is compelling too. A deserving watch this! #MauliSingh #LoudspeakerMedia #GurvinderSingh #GurpreetKaurBhangu #HarnekAulakh #KanwaljitSingh #SuvinderVikky #TaranjeetSingh #RajbirKaur #NFDC #NinaLathGupta #HarleenKaur #GulshanSaggi #WaryamSinghSandhu #CatherineDussart #SunilDoshi #OliviaStewart #SatyaRaiNagpaul #FilmCafe #Handmadefilms Runtime: 116 mins
#JasonBourne(English/Imax) Rating: * * * The return of the prodigal , #MattDamon steams up this breathlessly paced thriller giving it an edge that it did not have with #JeremyRenner in the fugitive spy role in the last disappointing outing #TheBourneLegacy. Even Director #PaulGreengrass appears to have found his mojo. Unfortunately the uninventive, reassembled-from-past-successes script does put the brakes on the overall enjoyment even with the added advantage of IMAX projection powering it. Also, the meager dialogue leaves a lot to be desired. #MattDamon #UniversalPictures #PaulGreengrass #RobertLudlum #JuliaStiles #TommyLeeJones #AliciaVikander #VincentCassel #EdgarRamirez #KarlUrban #RizAhmed #ChristopherRouse #BarryAckroyd #FrankMarshall #JeffreyMWeiner #BenSmith #GregoryGoodman #MarkBridges #PerfectWorldPictures #KennedyMarshallProduction #CaptivateEntertainment #PearlStreet #DougLiman Runtime:123 mins

#MoodsOfCrime(Hindi) Rating: * * This should have been titled ‘modes of crime,’ it’s that theoretical and unconvincing. Neither the mood nor the moments are set up with any conviction. Just two psychology students playing around with crime before becoming victims of their own compulsions. The final act with an all too obvious manufactured twist is totally unconvincing. The performances &direction leave a lot to be desired. #AshwaniShukla #AltairMedia #SunilShah #AyaazAhmed #AnimaPagare #UpekkhaJain # Runtime: 115 mins
#Fever (Hindi) Rating: * * ½ It’s interesting but lacks coherence. Is he Karan or Armin, Was he in love with Pooja, Kavya or Rhea or all three, was he an assassin, a serial lover or author are the questions that haunt this amnesiac who wakes up in a hospital bed and finds his memory wiped clean. The rest of the film deals with stringing together disperse strands in the hope that it will lead to something. Unfortunately it doesn’t. It’s Convoluted and the editing makes the narrative seem ridiculous but the showy cinematography and European locations are a lifeline here. #Ebrahim #PearlMedia #AnshulTyagi #AnkitaMakwana #PrakharGaur #RajeevKhandelwal #GemmaArkinson #CaterinaMurino #GauharKhan #RajeevJhaveri #VictorBannerjee #NicheFilm #FarmPlusEntertainmentPvtLtd #JayaSapthagiriProductions #RaviAgarwal #MahesgBalekundri #AjayChabbria #RajathManjunath Runtime: 128 mins
#TheLegendOfMichaelMishra(Hindi) Rating: * It’s the dumbing down of a distending love story and there’s no legend to speak of -just a wild hallucination that appears more and more nightmarish as the narrative prolongs. Implausible and unforgivable are the two words I would use to describe this experience. #ArshadWarsi #KayozeIrani #BomanIrani #AditiRaoHydari #ManishJha #ManojSoni #NipunAshok #Radhakrishnan #SnehaNihalani #ParagDesai #UniversalCommunications #PontyChadha #WaveCinemas #KishorArora #Shareen #mantrikedia #EyecandyFilms Runtime: 116 mins

#YehKaisiHaiAshiqui(Hindi) Rating: * Antiquated revenge drama, this one has so many holes in the plotting that it’s not even funny. Even the presence of #JasodhabenModi, neglected wife of our #PM at the press show could not save this film from a disappointing response from the assembled critics - which might prove ominous at the Box office cash registers. #SanjaySharmaRajPR #Rajdeep #SukhbirLamba #AtulSoni #SubhashJShah #SipraGaur #AtmaramTripathi #VandanaRawal #SwatiMukherji #GokulBaraiyya #SandeepSharma #RajuBaruchi #ShakilDoctor #SachinRajputm #GulaSheikh #RaviDutta #ShobhanaBen #Firoz #RamlakhanSharma #ArjunBharuchi #NikulsinghChudasama #Raj #Babu #GNBFilms #GNBhai #VandanaRawal Runtime: 134 mins

#SuicideSquad(English) Rating: * * ½ This Patchy actioner based on #DCComic book characters hopes for pop-culture to do the trick at the Box office. Positioned as a continuum in-between #BatmanVsSuperman and the upcoming #Justiceleague this one has just too many characters and too little room to breathe. Quite a few in the squad appear redundant & their meta-human skills don’t look all that appropriate for the chartered course of action here. #WillSmith may have the charisma but he is entirely wasted like most of the assemblage other than #MargotRobbie who really is the heart of this unexciting experience. The inconsistent Bollywoodian plotting, strippy storyline and frequently beeped out dialogues kill off most of the unevenly designed entertainment here. #WarnerBros #DCComics #AnkitAgarwal #RatpackDuneEntertainment #WillSmith #ViolaDavis #MargotRobbie #JaredLeto #JaiCourtney #JayHernandez #CaraDelevingne #AdewaleAkinnuoyeAgbaje #AdamBeach #KarenFukuhara #AidanDevine #DavidHarbour #BenAffleck #EzraMiller #JoelKinnaman #CharlesRoven #RichardSuckle #ZackSnyder #RomanVasyanov #JohnGilroy #DavidAyer Runtime: 123 mins

#BFG(English/3D) Rating: * * ½ A big friendly Giant and an orphan strike up an unlikely friendship that’s quite endearing but what’s the point? The underlining wonder highlighting a Spielberg fantasy is sorely missing from this production given to spectacle but without much emotional heft to augment it. Even the CGI and motion capture don’t appear all that seamless. #UniversalCommunications #ParagDesai #RelianceEntertainment #JanuszKaminski #WaltDisneyPictures #StevenSpielberg #MarkRylance #BillHader #RubyBarnhill #JemaineClement #ÓlafurDarriÓlafsson #AdamGodley #ChrisGibbs #JonathanHolmes #PaulMonizdeSa #PenelopeWilton #RebeccaHall #JohnWilliams #RaoldDahl #MelissaMathison Runtime: 117 mins
#Ghostbusters(English/3D) Rating: * * ½ This gender-changed reboot has female ghostbusters pilfering gadgets to strike up a telling blow on the anarchistic paranormal beings. The feminine replacements strike up a reasonable comedic action force but it’s not quite enough to get the feeling of déjà vu and ennui out of the experience. The cameo visits by the original cast pay homage to the past but the rekindling of those memories only make it more difficult to look to the new in this. #SonyPicturesEntertainment #ThinkinkCommunications #MelissaMcCarthy #KateMcKinnon #LeslieJones #KristenWiig #ChrisHemsworth #PrajaktaSheth #NavjotKaur #SwetaPoojary #AndyGarcia #MichaelKWilliams #NeilCasey #DanAykroyd #BillMurray #ErnieHudson #SigourneyWeaver #AnniePotts #PaulFeig #HaroldRamis #RobertDYeoman #TheodoreShapiro #ColumbiaPictures #VillageRoadshowPictures IvanReitmanProduction #IvanReitman #AmyPascal Runtime: 105 mins
#BadMoms(English) Rating: * * ½ There don’t seem to be no difference between American teens and American Moms if you believe what’s portrayed by Hollywood. They drive themselves into a tizzy without so much as a reason. And the kids are monsters too. The caricaturist stereotypes get overplayed, the sight gags rouse up a fair bit of fun but the sex talk, reprobate behavior & reliance on alcohol as a source of a good time doesn’t augur well for the future of young ones who might get lured into this! It’s funny though! #MilaKunis #KristenBell #KathyrnHann #HardlyAnonymous #KristenBell #ChristinaApllegate #EmjayAnthony #KathyrnHann #JayJablonski #JadaPinkettSmith #JayHernandez #JonLucas #ScottMoore #JJWatt #WendellPierce #DavidWalton Runtime: 101 mins

#LoveKeFunday(Hindi) Rating: * * Young Blood playing musical chairs ( in terms of relationship)with their partners, this one tries too hard to be uber-cool but the intent and the essay are two different things altogether. There’s promise in a few stray moments but most of it is regressive & fanciful rather than realistic. #KhazanaVision #DwaparMedia #HimanshuJhunjhunwala #SanjaySharmaRaj #ShaleenBhanot #RishankTiwari #RitikaGulati #SufiGulati #HarshvardhanJoshi #SamikshaBhatnagar #RahulSuri #PoojaBannerjee #FRVBigEntertainmentPvtLtd #FaaizAnwar #PremPrakashGupta #InderveshYogee #PrakashPrabhakar #FarzanFaaiz Runtime: 124 mins
#MurderMadhuri(Hindi) Rating: * ½ An amateurish tale about a devastating rape leading up to vigilante justice meted out by the despairing army veteran father, this film is hapless and hopeless on most counts. The story itself lacks credibility and substance. In trying to hone in on the need for closure w.r.t the much publicized #Nirbhaya story, the film makers make themselves out to be opportunistic and pretty much devoid of a conscience. This drama is as fake as the blood it’s written with. #HimanshuJhunjhunwala #DwaparMedia #SharatSaxena #DeepshikaNagpal #JiyaKhan #SonaliJoshi #RazaMurad #DeepshikaNagpal #KiranKumar #Amit #VinayVerma #SunitaRana #E4UEnterprises #AyubKhan #RahiSultanpuri #YerramsettySai #ArshadAhmed #ShahidHamdani #ShankarKantheti #NitinHivarkar #IndraMohanPannuPR Runtime: 92 mins

#StarTrekBeyond(English/3D) Rating: * * * As a sequel meant to keep the flagging interest in this sci-fi adventure franchise going, it does just about enough. But as a standalone unusual experience it fails. In fact there’s hardly anything new here other than the spec less production design, imaginative scaling and computer animatronix. The human element even with the sexing up of previously remote and seeming sexless beings, and the action finale barely adds-up to a little more involvement and intrigue than before. That’s as far as this one goes. So if you are looking to go where no man has gone before –maybe you should look closer to home! #EverymediaPR #Vishaka #Viacom18 #ChrisPine #ZacharyQuinto #ZoeSaldana #SimonPegg #AntonYelchin #KarlUrban #JohnCho #IdrisElba #SofiaBoutella #LydiaWilson #ShohrehAghdashloo #ParamountPictures #SkydanceMedia #BadRobotProds. #SneakyShark #PerfectStormEntertainment #KOPaperProductsProduction #JJAbrams #BryanBurk #RobertoOrci #JeffreyChernov #DavidEllison #DanaGoldberg #TommyHarper #LindseyWeber #GeneRoddenberry #JustinLin Runtime: 120 mins
#HalfTicket(Marathi) Rating: * * * A legitimate remake(mirror image) of the well received Tamil film ‘Kaaka Muttai’ this one follows the tested route while pumping up the background score and tending to melodrama.

#Madaari sshhh Desh So Raha Hai(Hindi) Rating: * * ½ Nishikant Kamat uses the ‘A Wednesday’ device ( which now appears gimmicky)to turn the kidnapping of a Home Minister’s son into a fight for justice in which the common man pits himself against the system with an aim to winning hearts and proving his point in the bargain. The narrative has it’s interesting, pungent, pinchhitting, bitter, heartfelt moments but the choppy editing and the obviously contrived plotting leaves the viewer largely unaffected. Irrfan goes a little over-the-top hogging the limelight in what could be termed as his first home production while #JimmyShergill puts out yet another impeccable performance. #SpicePR #IrrfanKhan #JimmySheirgill #TusharDalvi #NishikantKamat #SutapaSikdar #PoojaEntertainment #VashuBhagnani #MirajEntertainment #BharatShah #EaseMyTripdotcom #ShaileshRSingh #MadanPaliwal #ShailjaKejriwal #RakshaEntertainment #ParamhansCreations #DoreFilms #SaptarishiCinevision #NiteshPandey #MasterVisheshBansal Runtime: 133mins
#MCream(Hindi) Rating: * * Neither deep nor transcendental, just Sloshed and high on euphoric imaginings, this one gets wobbly and shaky as the runtime prolongs. It appears inspired by a 70’s Hippy India mindset and has it’s principal four characters road ‘trip’ through Dharamshala and the scenic Himalayan ranges for it’s philosophical, spiritual & activist refuge but it doesn’t work. Everything seems fake and put on - save for the actors who do their best alongside some eclectic fusion music -to keep the flaky narrative intriguing in fits and spurts. #ParullGossainPR #BarryJohn #TomAlter #LushinDubey #IraDubey #RaaghavChanana #AuritraGhosh #ImaadShah #AgneyaSingh #VindhyaSingh #AgniputraFilms #MandiraBevatia #AbanRaza Runtime:115 mins
#IshqClick(Hindi) Rating: * ½ Romantic revenge drama with a multitude of songs and frolic, this one is skewed and un appealing.

#Kabali(Tamil/Hindi) Rating: * * Shoring up the fantasia image of benevolence that the Thalaiva has cultivated over the years (through subsequent films and fan powered popular iconography) espousing his generosity and valor, ‘Kabali’ is a trivial pursuit that may satisfy the fans (because they crave for repetition) but is sure to leave the others quite dissatisfied. An ageing Gangster ( also goes back in time reprising exploits of his youth for nostalgia seekers) donning the mantle of Robin hood/Messiah for the tamils/Dalits while rescuing his daughter (in Malaysia where he has a sizeable fan base) just doesn’t suit anymore. The Style King struts his pop iconisms with the usual chutzpah but it’s getting tedious and boring now. #RadhikaApte as always is a joy to behold. The film has a lot of firsts in terms of marketing and outreach but it’s ‘Not A First!’ Gawd knows why people( read paid media) are making a song and dance of a Rajni film. It’s a ‘done’ deal and quite vacuous and hollow in representation. #Rajnikanth #FoxStarStudios #PaRanjith #KalaippuliSThanu #VCreations #DParanthaman #AKNataraj #SantoshNarayanan #RadhikaApte #JohnVijay #KalaiyarasanHarishrishnan Runtime: 153 mins

#LightsOut (English) Rating: * * ½ Jump scare tricks and nothing new about it too - yet the well rounded characters, and passionate psychobabble inherent in the screenplay just about makes it stick. It could prey on your mind with it’s suggestive scare tricks but to a large extent it’s a worn out exhibition of spooky ideology that appears to have gained ground after Conjuring’s success. If you’ve seen #DavidFSandberg’s short film which this film is expanded from, then there are no surprises here. #JamesWan #WarnerBrosPicturesMalaysia #WarnerBros #NewLineCinema #AtomicMonster #GreyMatterProductions #DavidFSandberg #EricHeisserer #HorrorDrama #TeresaPalmer #GabrielBateman Billy Burke, Emily Alyn Lind, Alicia Vela-Bailey
