Arjun Patiala poster

2019 · Hindi · Deccan Chronicle

With not a plausible storyline, poor jokes overflow, and even the actors are given a free rein with little effort.

Wish there was more to the story or its writing that would have made the 125 minute film worth the time and effort!

Pihu2/5

2018 · Hindi · Deccan Chronicle

Time and again, it has been proved that mere ideation of a great film doesn't make an engaging narrative. Director Kapri has claimed that the story is based on a real life incident that he knows of.

The worst thing about this film is no connect between characters even as Kapoor tries hard to breathe life into his.

Dil Juunglee poster

Sure, most romantic comedies are predictable, unrealistic and corny, but some films are so bad, they're actually good.

Golmaal Again poster

2017 · Hindi · Deccan Chronicle

...because the writing suffers and barring a few moments, there aren't too many scenes that stand out, the 151-minute film is cranked out as a generic mash up of some of the scenes from the earlier films of the series.

Bank Chor poster

2017 · Hindi · Deccan Chronicle

Towards the end, when the film keeps inventing too many rapid developments, even the unconvincing knots run out of ideas before the halfway point, and you know these are obligatory attempts to lift your sagging spirits from…

Raabta poster

2017 · Hindi · Deccan Chronicle

The film doesn't have the requisite mystery associated with the genre and the screenplay co-written by Siddharth-Garima neither reaches the great heights claimed through its promotional schemes nor the promise of its interesting…

Behen Hogi Teri poster

2017 · Hindi · Deccan Chronicle

The intentional comedy in the film always seems on the verge of working, but then, is quickly bludgeoned to death with staleness.

Noor2/5

2017 · Hindi · Deccan Chronicle

Under Sippy's direction, the cast has acknowledged the clamoring script with performances that are hard, brittle and strained to the breaking point.

Poorna poster

2017 · Hindi · Deccan Chronicle

There are no digressions here to blend jaw-dropping footage of the attempt to climb Mt. Everest with a dramatic back story to reach the summit. And thank God for that!

Wajah Tum Ho poster

WTH gets sillier and more ludicrous as it goes along, which is typical for many suspense genre stories.

31st October poster

2016 · Hindi · Deccan Chronicle

As a film, 31st October should have served to encourage a sobering sense of responsibility, a more truthful perspective on our identities — both individual and national — and a stronger tendency toward restraint in those who…

Island City poster

2016 · Hindi · Deccan Chronicle

Oberoi shows enough promise of a better off-mainstream cinema that should emerge from her kind of storytelling.

Budhia Singh: Born to Run poster

2016 · Hindi · Deccan Chronicle

Though the film conforms to the rules of sports movies quite often, and has its share of embellishments and formulaic tangents too, it never succumbs to sports-movie formulas, rather, it manages to transcend the genre, only…

The Fourth Direction poster

2016 · Punjabi · Deccan Chronicle

The film boasts of a confident command of tone with magnetic performances holding your attention, and film leaves many things unreciprocated.

Shorgul poster
Shorgul1.5/5

2016 · Hindi · Deccan Chronicle

Instead, the dramatisation of events insipidly tries to answer a few questions. Considering the film's impressive cast and compelling message, I was willing to cast aside many downers that the film's narrative is saddled with.
