Contrived slyly sutured umpteenth adaption of the #Italianfilm #PerfectStrangers this playful gamey intersection of corny situations & heightened emotions makes for some vicarious mindless fluent entertainment. #AkshayKumar #TapseePannu & #AmmyVirk make light of the heavy duty moments - enough to give us a few laughs.

Trifling conspicuously contrived Escapist fare lacking in suspence or thrills with Rani&Rishu aiming for a getaway while Montu the cop puts the brakes on. References to pulp fiction crimes of passion notwithstanding, the direction is pretty sloppy, unviably twisty, writing is confused&lacks bite & dialogues sound meaningless - so it’s the performances that keep the interest going. #VikrantMassey #JimmyShergill and to some exetent #TapseePannu save the blushes.

Title: #LifeHillGayi Rating: * *

Starts off on a good horror-comedy-thriller note with contrived sibling rivalry as its mainstay but goes humourless & uninteresting thereafter. Actors fail to accentuate the drab writing. The scripting is sloppy. Only the locations attract attention.

Based on Korean series #Signal created by #ChoiJinHee & #ParkJiYoung, this desi adaptation gets trigger happy & messes up the narrative fluency. The time bending narrative is not exactly convincing but the brisk pace and the nature of the whodunit template intertwines past & present to reveal shocking truths that keep you ensnared. Though the adaptation fails to deliver a unique culturally rooted perspective, the series does manage to stay gripping and resonant.

Overtly sexual, inept with shaky camerawork, distracting split screens, implausible storyline, sloppy direction & vague performances make this a hare-brained attempt at cinema. This one is for you only if you want a brain numbing headache for the pricey Big screen ticket.

A cheat film, #SudhanshuSaria’s attempt to create a #Raazi like construct fails. An unpalatable, nonviable misconceived plot, poor casting choices & stretched out runtime ensures vulnerability at the BoxOffice. Weak characterizations & illogical scripting spoil the show.The #BlackCatCommando lure at the end takes the cake. The treatment, background score & #GulshanDeviah, #RoshanMathew’s decent turns allow for some affect. #Jahnvi’s perennial pouting doesn’t allow her performance to show up though.

Film: #AuronMeinKahanDumTha Rating: * 1/2
Old-fashioned outdated lame unbelievable choices haunt this cut-rate fractured romance with a silly plot treated in repetitive, shoddy, rancid storytelling craft, accessorized with songs, dialogue, background score that sound alien to the narrative language shrouded in cliches. Shantanu & Saiee lend some freshness & pep while Ajay & Tabu weigh it down with melodramatic forlorn posturing. There’s no ‘Dum’ here.
