Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi (2019)
An accomplished ensemble cast and glib dialogues keep a film about death, expectations and duty afloat.

Bulbbul (2020)
Taken together, these three films are a loose trilogy of supernatural feminine power, each concerned, in its own way, with the injustices women have faced, and continue to face...

Onward (2020)
While it isn't as emotionally involving as some other Pixar films, there is sufficient artistry and joyful storytelling here

Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan (2020)

Jojo Rabbit (2019)
Taika Waititi's comedy about a budding young Nazi exhausts its satire early...

Shikara (2020)
She captures vulnerability and optimism but the reactions are repetitive and unimaginative.

Judy (2019)
Judy, a musical drama, is both a warm and loving tribute to the actor and singer Judy Garland as well as a cautionary tale about the pressures and impact of celebrity.

Dolittle (2020)
The drama and narrative is so flat you almost forget this is a 3D film.

Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior (2020)
The film is never far from silliness, but there's often a reason attached... it's a nod to the Hindi cinema tradition of the climactic dance.

Good Newwz (2019)
For Kumar, Kapoor Khan and some truly laugh-out-loud moments, Good Newwz is the lightness needed to round off the year.

Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)
The ending disappoints a bit with its easy resolution, but then Jumanji is not meant to keep you on the edge of your seat: it's just a game after all.

Mardaani 2 (2019)
In this slick, gruesome sequel, Shivani again steps aside and allows victims to exact revenge, in full view of the public.

Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019)
The problem with Pati, Patni Aur Woh isn't that it's offensive, but that it's dull and predictable for too much of its running time.

Hotel Mumbai (2019)
Hotel Mumbai is a disturbing and haunting reminder of what so many endured.

Aamis (Ravening) (2019)
Bhaskar Hazarika's Aamis is bold and subversive.

Charlie's Angels (2019)

Drive (2019)
Rajput has the fixed plastic smile of an actor who wishes his career were in another gear...

Saand Ki Aankh (2019)
Pannu and Pednekar are wonderful and spunky and embrace their parts even though their body language and posture is variable. Bakshi and Arjun provide admirable support.

Laal Kaptaan (2019)

Gemini Man (2019)
Maybe it was a sign that this film was ill-fated when it took almost 20 years for it to get off the ground.

Downton Abbey (2019)
This is a delight for fans of the drama series set in the world of the British aristocracy.

Chhichhore (2019)
The humour in Chhichhore is so organic that one can forgive the film's contrivances.

Angel Has Fallen (2019)
The unimaginative script matches the uninspired action scenes, which are worsened by shabby computer graphics. The laziness of this franchise is apparent in the third part...

Raabta (2017)
This reincarnation drama with convenient plot-points doesn't quite come together.

Sonata (2017)
Sadly, the theatricality of the piece has not transitioned smoothly to screen.

The Fate of the Furious (2017)
Designed to appeal to their enormous fan base, the makers clearly have every intention of going out at full throttle.

Naam Shabana (2017)
Much more effort has gone into creating an authentic milieu than crafting an engaging character study in the foreground.

Kung-Fu Yoga (2017)
Not even Jackie Chan can save this ill-advised mash-up.

xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017)
The plot is as flimsy as the garments on the beauties.

Shivaay (2016)

Housefull 3 (2016)
The brand of humour aligns with previous Housefull films, with a few funny gags but mostly stupid ones.

Warcraft (2016)
It's hard to tell one growling, sabre-toothed orc apart from another.
Posted Aug 14, 2019
37
The film misses Burton's odd charm, is largely devoid of humour and, in spite of Hathaway, Depp and Bonham Carter, is mostly a waste of time.

Money Monster (2016)
Foster deftly handles tonal shifts between humour, satire and comment to deliver a timely and thrilling entertainer.

The Man Who Knew Infinity (2016)
The Man Who Knew Infinity is moving, but not as compelling as the real life story of the genius it celebrates. The definitive film on Ramanujan remains to be made...

This sequel fumbles on all the fronts on which the original succeeded...

Joy (2015)
This optimistic, often amusing story is a Lawrence show all the way as she flies the flag for feminism, entrepreneurship and family without missing a beat.

Kyaa Kool Hain Hum 3 (2016)
There is a serious drought of energy and jokes in this script (by Milap Zaveri and Mushtaq Sheikh), particularly considering that the characters talk non-stop.

Ghayal Once Again (2016)
Deol is sincere and still evokes whistles when he lets loose his right hook. Fans of the Deol brand of action won't be disappointed.

Our Brand is Crisis (2015)
It would have been nice to have some fresh insight into what goes on behind the scenes during an election campaign. This crisis does not convert into an opportunity.

Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 (2015)
You really have to ask yourself about the maturity of the scriptwriters who have clearly given vent to their misogyny through this immature sequel to the 2011 film.

Singh Is Bliing (2015)
With its lame script and tiresome gags, you'll forget Singh Is Bliing within seconds of leaving the cinema.
