Loud, bombastic, copiously melodramatic, miscast & misrepresented biopic, based on the book by ex-airforce pilot #GRGopinath founder of India’s first #lowcostairline #AirDeccan. This remake of #SooraraiPottru has #AkshayKumar striving hard to score as a Maharashtrian version of the South Indian trailblaizer & #RadhikaMadan lending strong personality to the role of his ‘Hatke’ wife - even though her looks belie her role’s maharashtrian origins. #Cheatcasting, lack of integrity & ethics while creating a true life story & unconvincing creative liberties are a sore point here.

A folk-tale about a vengeful ghost, this horror analogy of the Satyavan-Savitri legend has a sloppy script, indefinite tone, crude VFX & poor craft. Even the performances are too lame to make it stick.

Flippant, filmy, one-dimensional jingoistic portrayal of a #RAWAgent comic book hero( Based on #AmitKhan’s comic book) as the savior of Mumbai. #IqbalKhan manages 2 look menacing. Typical Pak-bashing, pop-patriotism & forced dramatics make it a less than saisfactory experience.

#MirzapurS3 Rating: * * * 10 eps/50-60 min Each

Season3 continues to navigate the corridors of power with an anarchic dark gaze - through bloody feuds, sinister machinations,vengeance,betrayal,nihilistic violence&intensified gore. Strong character depth, bludgeoning intensity, ominous tone, refined performances & great cinematography make the series a great lure.

Don’t look for script sense or logic. Bollywood action has never looked so savage. Superb action choreography aiding them, 2 NSG commandos take on 40 brutish murderous dacoits & everyone’s the loser. An alternate universe of action and counteraction within the confines of a train compartment, this ultra violent, gruesome, nihilistic Revenge action ‘Genre’ film is a non-stop river of blood and innards. A Brutal pulverising gory bloodfest with bone breaking head crushing action. #Lakshya does a John Wick/Raid going on a rampage in a running train. Barbarous, vicious and inhumane, the action will hit you hard where it hurts! Definitely not for the squeamish! Within all that bloody action & gore a new action star is born!

Personal story of a bollywood struggler’s homecoming fails to become meaningful because of an underdeveloped script & simplistic resolution. Fairly rooted performances and mountainous locales are quite a lure.

Film: #Maharaj Rating : * * *

A bold #journalist #socialreformer #KarsanDasMulji questions a revered leader’s immoral behavior…set in the 1840’s this premise based on #MaharajLibelCase can be an inspirational analogy for our current times.Character defining cinematography goes hand-in-hand with powerful messaging. A stirring debut by #JunaidKhan, a supercilious chilling performance from #JaideepAhlawat & a spunky supportive role by #SharwariWagh make this entreating ritual-blasting tale worth watching!
