2026 · Hindi · Wogma
Happy to see more of the same? That is exactly what you'll get. Any newness is done with, with elan.

Hindi 2.63/5 (179)Telugu 2/5 (2)Tamil 1.75/5 (2)
2026 · Hindi · Wogma
What I disliked in Dhurandhar, I disliked even more in this one. None of what I liked was carried forward here. And the propaganda that was subtle and annoying, is now blatant and amusing.
Attack2.5/5
2022 · Hindi · Wogma
You are promised an action film; you get an action film. The action is slick, even if a tad monotonous by the end.
Panipat2.5/5
2019 · Hindi · Wogma
Panipat has clearly taken liberties to gloss over aspects such as travelling heavy and with pilgrims and women that are considered as reasons for the failure of the Maratha attack.
War2.5/5
2019 · Hindi · Wogma
It's a win for an espionage film if it is written half-well, especially a Hindi one. War is victorious on that count. The much shorter first-half scores because it passes by quickly and doesn't feel like it was over an hour long.
2019 · Hindi · Wogma
...as a whole, the film is a mix of hits and misses. It leaves you entertained, but if you were told you could nap instead, you would consider the option.
Dream Girl3/5
2019 · Hindi · Wogma
Dream Girl cuts almost straight to the chase, and after a very brief set-up, you land up in Karam's (Ayushman Khurana) workspace, a call centre which services clients who need female company.
Chhichhore3/5
2019 · Hindi · Wogma
What also does the film good is that it walks the talk in its story. That it goes all "meta" on us by being just about ordinary is a call for us to be more accepting of failure.
Jabariya Jodi2.5/5
2019 · Hindi · Wogma
The film doesn't make much of an impact on that count either. A couple of good jokes are watered down because the spontaneity dies a long death. It is as if the writers knew the weight of the punch line and slowed the reveal down.
2019 · Hindi · Wogma
Anyway, as far as addressing mental illnesses goes, Judgementall Hai Kya doesn't do any more harm than already done by Hindi movies, even if it doesn't aim at respecting the affected individuals' fate either.
Super 303/5
2019 · Hindi · Wogma
...a film is not just made by the director or a handful of his supporting producers.
Kalank3/5
2019 · Hindi · Wogma
Kalank can be watched for its overall decent attempt at creating a visual experience, at taking the story beyond its usual one-line plot level, at paying some attention to character-writing and dialogue.
Thugs of Hindostan2.5/5
2018 · Hindi · Wogma
The humor is not always slapstick and every once in a while the action makes you sit up and watch, despite awful CGI and editing.
October4.5/5
2018 · Hindi · Wogma
When a review becomes more about the viewer's experience, emotions and thought-flow, it is a movie well-made, a movie one must watch. Even if you might want to watch it over and over again.
Raid3/5
2018 · Hindi · Wogma
It is a shame then that this already engaged frame of mind isn't capitalised upon. It becomes a regular Ajay-Devgn-plays-honest-guy vs. bad-guy routine. Except of course, that it is based on a true life story.
Pad Man3.5/5
2018 · Hindi · Wogma
The focus is clearly the story, or to take it a level further – the invention and the social milieu that called for the invention.
Mukkabaaz3.5/5
2018 · Hindi · Wogma
Not that punch-lines, strong opinions or style was ever unenjoyable in Kashyap films, it's just that here they are conspicuous by their absence – in a good way.
Judwaa 21/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
I'd like to state upfront that I am clearly not a part of this film's target audience because I've never liked slapstick. But over the years, I have realised the core of why I don't like them.
Bhoomi1.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
Except for the effort of the actors, there isn't anything going for Bhoomi. There are a couple of well conceptualised scenes, especially the one in the climax.
Newton4.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
I feel the need to visit this film again and have my kids watch it too – because this is a once in the blue moon film, the details of which, cannot be digested in one viewing.
Simran3.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
The struggle of Indian parents and children in America to be both American and Indian at the same time isn't new. But put together, they make the film a rich experience that cannot be slotted into one genre.
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
Other than a couple of those and a few moments of thrill though, Lucknow Central seems like yet another "prison" film. In fact, the story is quite similar to the other one a few weeks ago, Qaidi Band Review.
Daddy2/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
Daddy, comes across as an earnest defense for one of the most feared men of his times. I lived in Mumbai during those times. I don't remember hearing of any of his Robinhood deeds. Maybe they were deliberately kept under wraps.
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
It is disheartening that these moments aren't spread through the film's writing. It is disheartening that the writing feels disjointed as if it was written over years and the writers lost objectivity.
A Gentleman2.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
f only, only they were enough to recommend a trip to the theaters for you. In that sense, it is a step down for this writer-directer duo.
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
Babumoshai Bandookbaaz was almost house full, and in a bigger hall too! Whether or not I like the film, that a non-standard film gets its chance with the audience makes this festive season even brighter.
Bareilly Ki Barfi2.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
...turns out to be as underwhelming as the trailer. Neither does it have the sparks of a romance, nor the laughs of a comedy.
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
Jab Harry Met Sejal is also one of those films that has great music which shouldn't have made it into the film. They reek of commercial considerations rather than having roots in the story.
Mubarakan1/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
Relatively more coherent. Still doesn't make it any more enjoyable. Madcap story but no laughs. Thankfully not too slapsticky, but all the drama is a downer.
Indu Sarkar2.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
Despite all its shortcomings, I didn't mind the subject approached. Better getting excited about a film on the subject and being disappointed than not to have a film on the subject at all.
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
Lipstick Under My Burkha can be watched for its snappy dialogue and sensitive, intense performances.
Jagga Jasoos3.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
Jagga, Tooti-frooti, and Shruti do take you around their fairy-tale world. Yet, this fairyland is quite close to the world we live in.
Mom3/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
I don't know if Mom could have been a better film if the writing were tighter. Its pauses had a reason that might not be in line with that of a thriller.
Tubelight2/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
It is strange that Tubelight has so many things to say and yet felt like it said nothing. I don't expect to be impacted by the manner in which issues are raised. But I expect the makers to at least try.
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
Given the one line plot of a love story that is as standard as it gets, it boiled down to the angle this particular premise takes on the plot.
Sarkar 31.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
The decision is really easy. Pass this one, unless you have sworn to watch every single Amitabh Bachchan film. Yep, if you are the regular fan, you can easily give it a miss.
Meri Pyaari Bindu3.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
Meri Pyaari Bindu is that rom-com that doesn't offer much new, but it still engages, entertains and makes you sob for you remembered that one heartbreak that took your faith in relationships away from you.
2017 · Telugu · Wogma
The visuals are mesmerizing. You get an inkling of the scale as the censor board certificate is followed by an endless list of partners. The patient wait for the film to actually begin is well worth it.
Noor2/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
It is difficult to say if I'd have enjoyed Noor better if it were more focused on one or two aspects of life that it picked to comment on.
Mukti Bhawan3.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
Despite this annoyance, Mukti Bhawan's take on death is what makes the film worth a watch. It isn't an Anand-esque take, neither is it all morose. It is a tone of acceptance.
Naam Shabana2.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
...the pace of the film could have been forgiven. But, it is difficult to forgive no pounding hearts in a thriller. When the protagonist feels too safe, nothing can make you worry about her, can it?
Phillauri2/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
Movies like Phillauri make me wonder about talented actors, producers with a said vision, music, special effects – some bits underdone, some overdone and some like story – not done at all.
Trapped3.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
Trapped engages. But, other than that you are looking out to escape the disgust.
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
Badrinath Ki Dulhania seems to go about it rather lazily – taking the simplest "next steps" without a introspective and/or an exploratory eye at, what real life dowry cases or cases where a woman is held down, look like.
Rangoon3.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
A world I would certainly visit again. Maybe with a pen in hand, even if imaginary, scratching off parts from the reel that would have made the movie crisper. Maybe coming back home imagining an alternate end for the film.
The Ghazi Attack2.5/5
2017 · Telugu · Wogma
The film alternates between the murky blue, deep sea and the cringy, clanky, claustrophobic insides of a submarine without any respite.
Jolly LLB 23/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
The State vs. Jolly LLB 2 is worth the time you spend watching it.
Ok Jaanu1.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Wogma
To begin with OK Jaanu has very little to hold your interest. What with a name that seems to be an excuse for the couple to call each other by the purportedly cute nickname, "Jaanu"?
Dear Zindagi1/5
2016 · Hindi · Wogma
It is a shame then that a film that had all the right things to say; that had capable actors to say them the right way; that had characters who could have kept your thoughts from going astray doesn't do it all too well.
Rock On 23/5
2016 · Hindi · Wogma
There are a few, little surprises of this kind in the film. Also, it feels so good to see so many North-Eastern actors (even if some of them are non-actors) in a mainstream film.
Shivaay2/5
2016 · Hindi · Wogma
Shivaay comes across as a film that wants to be more than a regular action film. It doesn't quite achieve anything there. On the other hand, it loses out on being an out and out crowd-pleasing action film too.
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil3.5/5
2016 · Hindi · Wogma
The film is sprinkled with actual conversations, something I find lacking in Hindi romantic films. The dialogue is snappy and you could miss out a witticism here and a good line there if you don't pay keen attention.
Mirzya1/5
2016 · Hindi · Wogma
The visualization takes care of calling undue attention to itself. And the music. Sure, the movie would have been an absolute dud if it were not for the music.
2016 · Hindi · Wogma
You know how this specific biopic is going to begin. In fact, you want it to begin and end so, and no other way. And yet you have goosebumps when you watch it. That is the power of your fandom and your love for the game.
2016 · Hindi · Wogma
The unwieldy narration makes Baar Baar Dekho a tiring watch. The romance doesn't coo enough. The comedy is almost non-existent.
Freaky Ali1.5/5
2016 · Hindi · Wogma
The problem is that all the elements exist - romantic angle, the betrayal, the hardship, the setbacks – but they all seem rather perfunctory. None of them get your attention, let alone make it pique.
Kabali1/5
2016 · Tamil · Wogma
Kabali was always going to be 100% about Rajinikanth's super stardom. It was going to be about his action, his style, his persona. The character Kabali would be designed to suit that purpose.
Sultan2.5/5
2016 · Hindi · Wogma
Sultan doesn't get boring. The music is engaging, the visuals are crisp and fight sequences from the second half arrest your attention while they last. They take the edge off the flat plot, yet not a whole lot.
Raaz Reboot2.5/5
2016 · Hindi · Wogma
I was engaged more than I expected to be. I had inadvertently tight muscles till the culprit was obvious. But then again, I scare easily.
2016 · Hindi · Wogma
With little in the story beyond the basic premise, Tere Bin Laden Dead or Alive ends up just killing its potential to be lively. See, I am bored enough to do bad puns too. Better stop here.
Aligarh3/5
2016 · Hindi · Wogma
It is an important film. It is a courageous film even. The film does some things really well. But, it isn't necessarily an absorbing one.
Neerja3.5/5
2016 · Hindi · Wogma
Aside from telling a story about the events of PAN AM 73, Neerja has a lovely layer of woman empowerment sewed into the fabric of the film. This is not just about the woman's grit because she is a woman.
Irudhi Suttru2.5/5
2016 · Tamil · Wogma
The drama though limited, is very typical to that of any film which wants a grand finale. This unfortunately, makes the film even more predictable than it already is.
Airlift3/5
2016 · Hindi · Wogma
...a little stretched and repetitive. But fortunately, not enough to hamper the pace of the film too much. The climax seems a little rushed, but that is more about over-simplification than the pace of the film.
2016 · Hindi · Wogma
Save a few good performances then, Chalk N Duster is just another story about honest, diligent workers vs. big, bad management; about the common man vs. the system.
Dilwale1.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
...the movie was everything I expected from it – yawn and cringe inducing. But hey, that's how little it takes to go from "Switch channels if it's on cable" to "Watch if you have nothing better to do".
Bajirao Mastani3.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
Magnificent visuals apart, Bajirao Mastani might be a version of history that I wish is true.
Tamasha3.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
Any film that makes you go into a thought circle like that has won me. While Tamasha might have aimed at it, it won't make you get up and relook your life and the many faces you carry.
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
A coronation set in present day India – it is fantasy world, alright. Within that framework too though, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo doesn't have an interesting tale to tell.
Titli3.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
Titli pretty much says what it has to say in its two-minute trailer. After that it is like the follow-up slides in a presentation that elaborate on each point.
Main Aur Charles3.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
They are stylish snippets that have little detail in the telling.
Main Aur Charles3.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
They are stylish snippets that have little detail in the telling.
Shaandaar2/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
Undoubtedly, it is a mish-mash of ideologies, of film-making aesthetics. I cannot shake off the big question mark – why? Why would a perfectly sane director go about doing this?
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
...is more or less what you expect, more of the same with a slightly better hand at direction. Storywise though if you enjoyed the first installment, you would like this one too.

Jazbaa3.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
Jazbaa is superficial. The mother aches for her daughter, but it is the glycerin in those pretty wide eyes that tells you so.
Calendar Girls1.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
I am a little surprised that the sleaze wasn't as bad as I had expected and it was refreshing to see a Bhandarkar film without a stereotypical, gay fashion designer.
Calendar Girls1.5/5

I am a little surprised that the sleaze wasn't as bad as I had expected and it was refreshing to see a Bhandarkar film without a stereotypical, gay fashion designer.
Katti Batti1.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
No romance, zilch comedy in this rom-com. Should they stop trying so hard to remake movies and try their hand at some novel story-telling if not original stories?
Hero1.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
The same movie still gets made. New faces, but no value addition to the film, no new stories. So used to expecting the same thing over and over again have we gotten, that we have even stopped getting bored watching them.
Welcome Back0.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
I really don't know what to say. Why anyone thinks any of this is even remotely funny, I don't understand. Even the one-liners are WhatsApp forwards. A couple rare lines bring a smile.
Phantom1/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
Even if you let go of sanity of the bigger picture, the little things are a bother too. Facts are repeated to help you make the connect.
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
Manjhi is one of those films that are depressing and yet are meant to give hope. Like Dashrath say, if he can try to break a mountain, then why can't you take a crack at that mountainous problem in your life?
All Is Well1/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
In the form of story, we have a sour parent-child relationship. A full of himself dad and a thankless son make the perfect combination. But, they are too loud and they bicker – All. The. Time.

Brothers1.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
...films like Brothers need a certain amount of drama to accentuate the action. Such action to make sense in a film need an emotional hook too; else it will feel like you are watching a game on TV.
Bangistan1.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
Bangistan made me realise the connection between satire and preachiness. Almost all satire has a "holier-than-thou" air about it that the parent-humor sarcasm carries. It is in a way talking down to its target audience.
Drishyam5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
It is hardly flawless, but it glues you - body and mind alert - to the story. A thing you can only rarely say for a thriller.
Masaan4/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
Despite being set in a crematorium and having a sense of morbidity throughout, Masaan isn't grim. Nor is it gay despite its wit.
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
The sentiment carries the film rather than the star, for a change. Yet, film too long to do justice to a theater outing.
Guddu Rangeela2.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
...while the attempt is to keep the look and feel of the film authentic, a story like this would never have happened in real life. It is not even about the over-simplistic narrative.
ABCD 21.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
ABCD 2 is blatant about how little it cares for the writing. And it's very clear about its passion for hip hop.
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
None of the failures above can be blamed on the actors. They all play sad to the best of their abilities. Their only fault might be that they create zero chemistry – of hatred or of love.

2015 · Hindi · Wogma
As a positive, Dil Dhadakne Do is very aware that it isn't digging too deep.
Bombay Velvet3.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
I left the theater with a question. I enjoyed the film while watching it, found it slightly long but it didn't test patience at point.
Piku4.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
Piku leaves ample scope for stereotyping Bengalis but I'll resist the temptation to go in that direction.
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
Many a film have addressed corruption top to bottom and back to the top. This one hits a sweet spot by including malpractice in the private sector. Along with the bureaucrats, politicians, and law and order .
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
I appreciate the fact that despite the preachy nature of the film, a different approach was endeavoured. More power to such trials even if not many of us are taken in by them.
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
Byomkesh Bakshy, the character does create enough interest for you to want to watch his next adventure, even if the first one by itself wasn't enticing. Dibaker Banerjee scored alright then, didn't he?
Hunterrr5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
Sure, we do need films that talk about sexuality – both male and female. There is a lot of talk about representing the sexual needs of women in films.
NH104.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
...despite the intentional laxity in the writing, your muscles stay taut. The mind stays worked up and alert thinking of what you would do in real life, despite the unreal coincidences.
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
Dum Laga Ke Haisha is not a very serious film. Sure, it addresses a social flaw and how the people that make the same society are coping with it. At the same time it isn't too satirical or dark.
Badlapur3.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
Starting with a philosophy "The axe forgets. The tree remembers.", Badlapur obviously aims at being a psychological thriller. Unfortunately, it neither is whole-heartedly psychological nor a thriller.
Roy2/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
Even if you give the film a point or two extra for attempting something different, you can't escape the fact that it is on the borderline of making very little sense. Different ain't good enough.
Shamitabh3/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
While I am a huge fan of the voice and was rapt every time I heard it; while I am a huge fan of the man to an extent that he is one of the few people I think who has earned the right to be arrogant; while I think if there is a…
Hawaizaada1.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
...the only thing that works for Hawaizaada - something different was attempted.
Dolly Ki Doli2.5/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
I find myself liking a film more than I usually would because of what I didn't "get" about the film. The only thing I know for sure is I enjoyed the overall concept and felt a liberation of sorts with the way the film ended.
Baby3/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
Yet, by far it is one of the most thrilling films in the last year or so. I don't remember the last time I was nervous for the hero (that too, one played by Akshay Kumar) even though I knew more or less where the film was headed.
Tevar3/5
2015 · Hindi · Wogma
It can be considered as a positive - that a film is very aware that it is not trying very hard to tell a story as much as it wants to show some action and that is pretty much its purpose. It doesn't quite work for me though.
Ugly4/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
The film's content is so unsettling that you wouldn't want to watch it again, at the same time you feel like you haven't grasped it all in the first go.
PK3.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
To say the film focussed only on one religion would be completely missing the point. It is up to us to extrapolate it to the religion of our choice, including our own.
Action Jackson3.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
I've had enough films that are banking on one star's stardom to pull an entire 2-2.5 hour film through - be it Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan or my personal favorite Ajay Devgn.
Ungli3.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
An engaging film Ungli is. But like observed in another film not too long ago, "Human behavior and life doesn't change in 3 hours."
Zid1.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
...the writing just doesn't engage you like a thriller should. It tries the known hooks that horror movies usually opt for when they know they can't keep you involved - cleavage and sex.
Happy Ending2.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
You have to give points to Happy Ending for at least trying to be different, even if not whole-heartedly.
Happy Ending2.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
You have to give points to Happy Ending for at least trying to be different, even if not whole-heartedly.
Kill Dil2/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Story lines like Kill Dil had started losing their charm 30+ years ago. I am still not able to get over the fact that Shaad Ali and team, couldn't add one new angle to make it look like a product for and by the next generation.
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
I don't really have much more to say about this one except that I had to keep comparisons with my all-time worst film ever, *Buddha Mar Gaya * at bay. And it wasn't the easiest task to do that.
Rang Rasiya2.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
I would still watch Rang Rasiya, for what it's trying to do. The hope is that as there are more and more bold themes, these creases will be ironed out to give us a wholesome, less self-aware film.
Rang Rasiya2.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
I would still watch Rang Rasiya, for what it's trying to do. The hope is that as there are more and more bold themes, these creases will be ironed out to give us a wholesome, less self-aware film.
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
I am pleasantly surprised and happy that Happy New Year attempted story. Yes, most of it is expectedly lame and laughable. But, isn't it cool that Farah Khan thinks her audience to be worthy of it.
Sonali Cable2.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Sonali Cable - Review. Rating: Watch some day, maayyybe…. One of the rare cases where I allow myself to use the cliché,
Tamanchey1.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Given the "different" setting for the love story Tamanchey could have had a spark that could've made it at least a film watching once, if not a good film. That as you know by now, didn't quite work out.
Haider4/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
After having seen films week-after-week and knowing there are so many more to be seen out there, very few inspire you to watch it again. And even fewer because each department played its role very close to perfection.
Bang Bang!1.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
I can't completely put the film down. At least, true-blue action stunts are being attempted. They might not have been executed well, but hopefully it will get better with the next film or the next.
Khoobsurat3/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
...it's something I would recommend for a light Sunday afternoon. It is guilty pleasure. It is saccharine sweet and fluffy.
Mary Kom2.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
So, would I take my kids to the theater to watch this one? Unlikely, will certainly not make extra effort. But would want them to watch it when it's on TV, just to see the power of strong will.
Raja Natwarlal2.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Raja Natwarlal can be a casual TV watch which you won't regret. Especially, since you can forward/switch channels when the run-time lengthening, otherwise irrelevant songs show up.
Mardaani2.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Yes, more and more films need to be made on such issues. Yes, Mardaani is a decent film. Alas, the issue is not what you come out thinking about.
Mardaani2.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Yes, more and more films need to be made on such issues. Yes, Mardaani is a decent film. Alas, the issue is not what you come out thinking about.
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
It is a Rohit Shetty film, that is a little less like a Rohit Shetty film, because it is actually trying to make sense while trying to keep what one expects from a Rohit Shetty film alive.
Kick2/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
...all of Kick feels stilted as if its very aware that it is a Salman Khan film. The songs come in and out in appropriate commercial doses.
Amit Sahni Ki List2.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
I don't like how the film was narrated or how they got to the conclusion or what specifically the conclusion was too.
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
HSKD is cute. It is certainly DDLJ catching up with today's times. So, it sheds itself of much dramatization and a good part of the run-time. But, it also doesn't stimulate any emotion, let alone touch you from within.
Bobby Jasoos2.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Other than Vidya Balan, Ali Fazal has some brief moments that work well. Arjan Bajwa has a screen presence even if it requires him to hold one expression.
Ek Villain2/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
The film is also very loud, in general, with almost one or the other character shouting under the guise of being full of life or full of anger.
Humshakals0.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
I am not really expecting to enjoy a Sajid Khan film any time soon. But, is a little sensitivity too much to ask for from a filmmaker who has a reasonably wide reach? Does humor have to be at someone else's expense?
Fugly2/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Fugly - Review. Rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do. Yet another,
Filmistaan3/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
The real problem then comes with the second half which isn't explicitly downhill either. It's just that it becomes a little predictable with characters taking clichéd routes. Four characters, four clichés.
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Siddharth Gupta and Amit Sial are the only ones you'd remember after you walk out of the theater. And maybe Pallavi Batra for the loud character she plays annoyingly and aptly.
City Lights3/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Citylights tries to be two things at the same time for some things that cannot go together. True it keeps the setting real and the performances support that theme. But, other than that, it doesn't engage.
Heropanti3.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Not that one was expecting great shakes from a film called Heropanti. But, that the makers, with a 100% fresh starcast don't even attempt to break any mould is disheartening.

Hawaa Hawaai3/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Hawaa Hawaai's story has a very "been there, seen that" feeling about it. The melodrama doesn't help its case. And then it has a preachy undertone, which borderline beats its own purpose.

Kya Dilli Kya Lahore3.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Kya Dilli Kya Lahore is not only well-intentioned it is well made too. Certainly worth the 100 minutes.
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
I must admit that Main Tera Hero has much more focus in its plot than an average David Dhawan film. The performances are those that belong in a slapstick film.
Youngistaan4/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Sure, there is an attempt at trying something new. It feel flat on its face, but at least they tried. Oh well.
Lakshmi4/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
When it comes down to stories based on real life with soulful narration, there is very little to say other than, "go watch it, because you need to." Of course, Lakshmi is a very difficult and intense watch - for women, for sure…
Ragini MMS 21/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Ragini MMS 2 is like any other B-grade horror film or Horrex (Horror-Sex for the uninclined) as Ragini MMS 2 likes to call itself. Do not be surprised if I copy-paste this review for the next similarly done film in the genre.
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
With very little going for it in the music and other technical departments then, Bewakoofiyaan feels like listening to a friend's woes about their relationship - with empathy and love; but you want them to kiss and patch up…
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
The problem though is that they try to inject it with humor using an exaggerated dose of hyperbole - only to end up flat on its face. Worse yet, you have seen almost all the quippy one-liners in the trailers.
Highway3.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
It is not new, it is not profound, but it held me glued - that freeing your spirit can show you how you are in charge and yet, to free your spirit, you need to take charge.
Gunday1/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Gunday is one of those films that make you wonder why it was made at all. The action is plain and pretty much boring. The performances are overtly stylish and overbearing.
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
It is refreshing to watch something different being attempted in as rundown a genre as rom-com.
One by Two2.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
It has a chic, Hollywood rom-com feel to it, except that it is Indianized with songs, etc. - See more at: http://wogma.com/movie/one-two-review/#sthash.YZDK7xC9.dpuf
Jai Ho1.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
...typical mix of action, silly humor, romance, loud background score, and ill-placed mediocre songs. Though, "baaki sab first class hai" does have decent lyrics. Too little to hang on to for a film that last 2.5 hours.

Miss Lovely3/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
That's the root there, the connect - which isn't there. Certainly a downer, for a film that wants you to experience, rather than just superficially know.
Dedh Ishqiya3.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Slow, long and yet it balances between taking its poetry too seriously and dumbing it down for our benefit. Only a few spots you wish were polished a tad better.
Yaariyan1/5
2014 · Hindi · Wogma
Very rarely, do I say this about a film, but this once I have to - there go two and a half hours of my life.

Dhoom 34/5
2013 · Hindi · Wogma
I just don't understand how the audience is expected to look over the fact that Dhoom 3 is nothing but a 3 hour long chase sequence with not just enough thrills.
Club 603.5/5
2013 · Hindi · Wogma
For many, the film might be a good enough on TV watch, but I just couldn't help giving it an extra nudge for the heart it takes to make a film like this.
R… Rajkumar3/5
2013 · Hindi · Wogma
Shahid Kapoor does make the most of it though. His comic timing as required for a film of this nature is decent, and he does his best to emote anger, fatigue, worry and the rest too.
2013 · Hindi · Wogma
Yet again, a romantic comedy that is underwhelming. At least, in this case we didn't expect any different.
2013 · Hindi · Wogma
From love at first sight to till-death-do-us-part style, crazy love via the banter and misunderstandings that any relationship goes through - Ram-Leela has it all, in gorgeous frames, amongst lots of song and dance.
Satya 22/5
2013 · Hindi · Wogma
...it could have worked, had the execution not been so drab. This is despite the background score trying its best to keep you awake.
Aurangzeb2.5/5
2013 · Hindi · Wogma
Aurangzeb is one of those little surprises that makes you look forward to the director's next venture, even if you aren't completely satisfied with what was served this time.
2013 · Hindi · Wogma
I don't mind a serious film, I don't mind socio-politics, I don't mind satire, I certainly don't mind quirky, dark humor.
I Am Kalam3/5
2011 · Hindi · Wogma
I am Kalam charmingly visualizes the life of a little boy who has to work to sustain himself and his family. Its simplicity is works as both an advantage and a disadvantage.
2011 · Hindi · Wogma
To say that Pyaar Ka Punchnama relies heavily on the stereotyping women would be stating the obvious in an understated manner. But you are here; you are watching the film, might as well give in.
Guzaarish3/5
2010 · Hindi · Wogma
Guzaarish is an art museum. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is the perfectly chiseled curator and Hrithik Roshan an almost statue. And this once, it's not his acting I'm complaining about, the script demands him to stay put.
2010 · Hindi · Wogma
The movie's obvious strong points are Ajay Devgan, apt characterization and a good story which could have churned out a better climax.
Raajneeti2.5/5
2010 · Hindi · Wogma
This almost 3-hour affair doesn't slacken but doesn't keep you waiting for the next move either. Because somehow there's a foregone conclusion given the epic characters the film is based on.
2010 · Hindi · Wogma
Love Sex Aur Dhokha is not watchable just for you to decipher its comment on us as individuals or society. There are plenty that do that. It is not something you should go for just to see the ace-class production values.
2009 · Hindi · Wogma
An adorable experience. A drama-free which by definition includes melodrama-free execution. Super-witty dialogues that are timed superbly. And a plot that flows smoothly. What more can we ask for?
Paa4/5
2009 · Hindi · Wogma
For the longest time now, I've been waiting for an Amitabh film that I really enjoyed. Finally, it's here.
Kurbaan2/5
2009 · Hindi · Wogma
"All Muslim's are terrorists." In order to prove that the Western world thinks that way, Rensil D'Souza and Karan Johar go that extra mile to showcase the very same thing.
2009 · Hindi · Wogma
It's Tom and Jerry style humor, alright. But, it doesn't have a quarter of the recall value. And the saddest part is that it's a desperate effort for a repeat performance by Rajkumar Santoshi. And that part is pretty obvious.
Wake Up Sid3.5/5
2009 · Hindi · Wogma
We were just getting used to a superficial attitude of making a film about the woman protagonist, but end up seeing the man claim glory. This one is equally Ranbir's and Konkona's.
