Sanjay Leela Bhansali still masters his marvel at making magical films. Picking up an unoriginal and much beaten about idea, he mystically tweaks out a work of genius.
Read the full reviewwith its grave minuses and fewer plusses is an underwhelming film much to my disbelief. The last few films of Dhulia had made me believe that he ranks amongst the top notch filmmakers of this generation.
Read the full review...a decently made film that involves you in the story quite enthusiastically. The story might suffer from too many problems but the final cut doesn't translate the glitches.
Read the full reviewKochadaiiyaan is not the work of an amateur and I give Soundarya the credit for trying her hand in something so mid boggling as well as dangerous.
Read the full reviewFireflies beautifully sums up the concept of coming around in life and its Cecilia Ahern-ish tone of optimistic view of tackling unrequited love is what works as the film's USP.

Read the full reviewIt is nearly impossible to decipher what this inept film is all about. Based on a thin, staggering plot line, it has a careless narrative which makes a mockery of its powerful theme.

Read the full reviewIt is a well-intentioned movie that loses steam too quickly. There is not enough good writing to keep things moving. Devoid of any fun and excitement, it is a morose affair that can be skipped!
Read the full reviewIn its 115 minutes' runtime, the film feels longer than it should. The ending is simplistic, almost laughable. It is a pointless movie that reiterates how important crisp direction could prove for a thriller.
