#DolphinTale2 Rating: * * ½  DolphinTale2 written &directed by #CharlesMartinSmith, is an amiable tale about Winter’s latest trials and tribulations. It’s got the traditional family entertainment elements and plays out pleasantly. The movie is enamored with underwater dolphin point-of-view shots and sappy moments, which is Ok but.. it lacks narrative cohesion.#WarnerBros

#DolphinTale2 Rating: * * ½  DolphinTale2 written &directed by Charles Martin Smith, is an amiable tale about Winter’s latest trials and tribulations.

The movie is enamored with underwater dolphin point-of-view shots and sappy moments, which is Ok but.. it lacks narrative cohesion.
 
Synopsis:
A group of sympathetic humans help a dolphin with a damaged tail in this heartwarming sequel to the surprise 2011 hit. Inspired by actual events, Dolphin Tale 2 is written and directed by Charles Martin Smith
 
Review:
"Dolphin Tale" told the extraordinary true story of Winter, a dolphin with an injured tail, saved by the groundbreaking use of a flexible prosthetics. He found a new home at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, whose dedicated team of marine biologists and animal rescue specialists devote their lives to helping injured marine life. Director Charles Martin Smith told Winter's story with respect, warmth and care, This sequel written and Directed by Smith, is a sort of going back to the same formula with a little bit of veering away. "Dolphin Tale 2", has assembled the same cast of characters (including the actual Winter, who plays herself in both movies), with the same hefts to emotive byplays. The detailing is assured unfortunately "Dolphin Tale 2" tries for a little too much- much more than was justifiably possible. Too many sun-plots make the going a little too bumpy and uneven, but that doesn’t take away from the self-confessed sweetness of this enterprise.
It’s a well targeted film and will find it’s rewards no doubt. The story however doesn’t cut it completely. The structure makes the overall effect just a little too overdone!

#TripToBhangarh(Hindi)Rating: *  Horror is as horror does. The legend of Bangarh comes across as phony while the much publicized nude scene is nothing but a honey-trap! #ManishChaudhary #VikramKoccher #RohitChaudhary #RachitBehl #VidushiMehra #PiyushRaina #PoonamPandey #JitendraPawar

Bungled up scares

Film:Trip to Bhangarh

Director: Jitendra Pawar

Rating: *

When a producer is just too scared to show his film to the press you know what that means. ‘Trip to Bhangarh’ is one such film. It’s selling point is that it’s based on the legend of Asia’s most haunted place- of an 18 year old Rani Ratnavati and her secret lover- a tantric who had used his magic tricks to cast a spell on her but never succeeded fully. The princess eventually saw through him and as a consequence he was killed. But before that he cursed the city with an impending destruction. A year later, the city stood destroyed and almost everyone , including Ratnavati, perished. 

A series of strange incidents thereafter lent credence to the haunted place theory. A strange intoxicating smell greets the new visitors at Bhangarh. And this is followed by  Nightmares, accidents and scary experiences but none of that make believe stuff works.

 It’s all done so sloppily that there’s very little purchase. The acting is amateurish, the sequences are far more humorous than scary and the attempt to titillate is off-putting to say the least.  Best avoided!
