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

As the name suggests this thriller, The Buckingham Murders has been shot in Great Britain. It involves a sensitive investigation of a child's murder. 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 ....

BHOLAA 3D – movie review

At the outset, let me warn you that this film is man adaptation of the Karthi starrer Kaithi. Right from the first frame till the last, the film abounds with excessive violence and gory scenes. Bholaa (Ajay Devgn), an absentee father waiting to unite with his daughter, is the protagonist, a man of very few words, who shows all his angst and pain through his eyes, in the film.Bholaa channels his inner rudra avatar to fight like a fearless warrior and battles a horde of gangs, right from bike-driving baddies to well-greased, kachcha-sporting villains, to remove all the obstacles that come in the way of him meeting his daughter. Bholaa, who is released from then prison after 10 years, is desperately waiting to meet his daughter for the first time, but IPS officer Diana Joseph (Tabu) leaves him with no choice but to help her in a high-pressure situation that involves the drug mafia, the c ....

The Big Bull – movie review

A film believed to be inspired by the Harshad Mehta story starting in the late eighties of the last century. The Big Bull movie review... There is no doubt that Harshad was the original Big Bull of Stock markets in India and who knows if he would have been left to his tools, he could not only have been the first billionaire from India but could also have been in company of Warren Buffett for all we know. The movie Big Bull is now streaming on Disney Hotstar. This one can be given a skip, no offense meant to Abhishek fans, he has tried really hard to put in his best. Enough about the man because the story digresses from the topic several times in the movie it seems that the director though wanted to tell Harshad's story but in the same breath also tries to distance away from it. That's the reason why the names and many incidents in the story have been tweaked and some have totall ....
