BHRAM – Gujarati movie review

There is one scene in the film where the protagonist is hooked on to Tom & Jerry cartoons ignoring the seriousness of the matter, the captivating closed door mystery thriller Bhram brilliantly uses this metaphor to drive the core of the subject. Among the main characters in the film, Maya (Sonali Lele Desai) is a Dementia patient, so she forgets everything and does not remember. Nishma Soni plays the role of her daughter Shraddha. Mitra Gadhvi plays the role of Mehul as Maya's caretaker. Maya witnesses the murder of her daughter Shraddha and the case of this entire murder mystery falls into the hands of Investigating Police officer Rakesh Parmar (Abhinay Banker). This results in twists and turns Maya's life as there are moments where even she is the prime suspect for the murder. Quite well edited and paced, the film keeps you on the edge of your seat till the end which unveils ....

Bhool Chuk Maaf – movie review

Bhool Chuk Maaf the film captures small-town romance between Ranjan and Titli. The girl's father sets a precondition that the boy should have a government job for which the boy resorts to help by bribing a middleman scamster for securing the job. Their romance blooms across the ghats, narrow streets of Benaras, Uttar Pradesh. Accepted, that it gives a realistic feeling but aren't there too many other films who have showcased the interiors of Uttar Pradesh. Where is the scenic beauty? We are bored watching the small streets and the nukkads of our interiors. Coming back to the story, much to Ranjan's horror, the scamster vanishes leaving him to a dead end when the boy takes a vow at Lord Shiva's temple to perform a noble deed if his wish is fulfilled. As Ranjan prepares for his wedding, a bizarre time loop occurs, with Titli being oblivious to it, repeatedly resetting the days bef ....

The Bhootnii – movie review

Set against the eerie backdrop of a centuries-old haunted mansion, The Bhootnii blends humor with horror in a tacky and spooky narrative. At the heart of the story is a lingering spirit named Mohabbat, (Mouni Roy) whose soul remains trapped due to an unfulfilled tale of love. Mouni, as the ghost, portrays a haunting mix of vulnerability and resilience. Sanjay Dutt plays a quirky and spiritual baba who wants to help Mohabbat find peace. As he tries to free her soul, he faces many funny and frightening moments inside the mansion. The movie has plenty of scary scenes, which fail to scare you or make you laugh a lot. His journey through the haunted house is filled with hilarious encounters and eerie twists, making the film neither a rollercoaster of comedy nor a scary potboiler. Bollywood's obsession with following the same staid formula knows no bounds. When one period drama does well ....

Badass Ravi Kumar- movie review

Himesh Reshammiya is back with Xpose Cinematic Universe's latest film Badass Ravi Kumar. The film sets out to entertain you like no other in recent times. Himesh Reshammiya’s portrayal of the titular character of the super cop Ravi Kumar is so unselfconsciously over the top that it’s quite hard not to get sucked in. And what exactly I like about the film is the way Himesh has made it clear right in the beginning that the film literally screams in bold, flashy letters: "Logic is optional." You are taken back on a time machine to the golden old 70’s and 80’s It is stupidity on our part to look out for a plot in this film but it is just enough to state that there is a typical love triangle too in the film, when two sisters Laila (Kirti Kulhari) and Madhubala (Simona J) are head over heels in love with Ravi Kumar (Himesh Reshammiya), who, a la Allu Arjun in Pushpa is all moustache ....

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 – movie review

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 released on 2nd of November is a of the franchise genre started with Akshay Kumar with one ghost then in the second movie with Kartik Aryan taking over the reins we where presented with possibility of a dual ghost scenario and now in the third one we have to juggle with a triple ghost scenario, my God! What a waste of ghosts or is it only one ghost and we see three. The movie is supposed to be a ghost comedy which we are supposed to enjoy but it appears the comedy is on us. The three cartoon characters from previous movie the chota pandit, the bada pandit and the lady pandit are repeated for no reason at all. The first film with Akshay Kumar was an intellectual cult film directed by Priyadarshan. The team of the second and third franchise have hit the bedrock. Kartik Aryan has been acting in films which have no meaning at all, very.. very disappointing. How come V ....

The Buckingham Murders – Movie review

Kareena Kapoor Khan’s character Jasmeet Bhamra the investigating officer who herself is grieving from the recent loss of her child in a senseless shootout is asked to handle this case despite her resistance in the beginning though she is slowly drawn into its web. The end is shocking when the actual perpetrators are unveiled but not before one more murder is committed. That was the premise of the movie now let's talk about the layers within it like the quintessential Hindu - Muslim animosity which within the Indian/Paki immigrant community spills over the English landscape and as the Police chief remarks ‘Over a mere cricket match’, then there is the angle about kids having access to drugs, about a failed marriage or how Indian br ....
