Ulajh movie review
A spy thriller, Ulajh focuses on the glorious achievements of a IFS lady officer who is entangled in a crafted conspiracy that could end up finishing her career, her father's elevation to the topmost foreign diplomat and a face-saving embarrassment for India. Going by the past films produced by Junglee Pictures, they had produced the flawless spy thriller Raazi and the crime thriller Talwar, while their highly anticipated their new film Ulajh falls below expectations with several loose ends, flaws and the illogical super-smartness of an Indian IFS officer over foreign ambassadors and bureaucrats. In her first posting out of India to Nepal, Suhana Bhatia (Janhvi Kapoor), the grand daughter of a patriot and daughter of a very senior bureaucrat Dhanraj Bhatia (Adil Hussain) is successful in blackmailing the ambassador of that country. While back in India, Suhana is too focused in her ....

Hrithik, Deepika, Anil Kapoor ins Fighter
Opening with a spellbinding air stunt by Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania (Hrithik Roshan) that instantly impresses Squadron Leader Minal Rathore (Deepika Padukone), Fighter is a compelling watch right up-to the first half. With a mesmerizing air-combat sequence that is preceded with some awesome air maneuvers by the Airforce Pilots, Siddharth Anand's directorial venture comes up to the mark in the beginning. Anil Kapoor as the Group Captain Rocky is entrusted with the task of keeping the best of India's airforce pilots to their fighting best. Fighter promises excellent production values and captivating thrills in the sky. It definitely deserves appreciation for the effort to showcase the Indian Airforce as equally comparable to its counterparts of the west. Though the filmmaker makes it clear in it's disclaimer in the beginning that the film is a work of fiction, there are severa ....

Pyaari Tarawali film review
Pyaari Tarawali The True Story traces the journey of emotions and struggles that a girl goes through yet it also depicts (though subtly) the helplessness of a single man who is subject to ridicule just because he is still unmarried at the age of 38. This man works hard to keep his wife happy but towards the end his wife deserted him as this woman had some more desires in life that she gets swayed by sweet talks of her ex-boyfriend and ends up in a mess only for her own wrong-doings. Pyaari in her infanthood had been bought up by her mother narrating a story that one day a Knight in Shining Armor would come and marry this girl who would then rule as a Queen and live happily ever after. Is that the end? No. Pyaari had unending desires for herself. Though Pyaari had suffered marriage break-up twice, the third time she found the right man who respected her, cared and loved her, yet ....

Love All movie review
The over protective father desires to safeguard his son from any psychological or physican harm in the future, unlike the trouble he went through in his school and college days. Love All movie review... "The young ones have infinite dreams and they eat sleep and think of only one thing - Their game. Only to experience shattered dreams as one in a million reach the Olympics or the altair of their game receiving medals and big fat cheques. Rest of them just fade over in time and don't they deserve a life of dignity?" says the father who has seen it in the eyes of those children in sport sweating it out under the scorching sun." His child's teacher beautifully summed it, "What a child can learn in the field of sport cannot be learnt in any academics. It is only this interest in sport that makes the child different from the average ones. At least the sport teaches him to be a better in ....

Neeyat film review
Neeyat opens with an extremely impressive and refreshing visuals of chilled crispiness of Scottish woods, grandeur of a well maintained vast estate house while introducing the characters. Aashish Kapoor (Ram Kapoor) has invited his close friends and family for celebrating his birthday in a low key private gathering (unlike the grand birthday parties of past) in his castle in Scotland. In the short list of about a dozen invitees, probably less, this billionaire has invited his ex-flame, his tarot card reader cum guide, his close Doctor friend and his wife who was close to him in the days gone by. Till the reception of guests and the display of Scottish landscape, Neeyat keeps you engrossed in the hope of experiencing something awesome like Agatha Christie mysteries that are usually unfolded on a grand scale. As the story proceeds, you see that the service staff of the castle has bee ....

Adipurush movie review
Adipurush, made on a huge budget of 700 crores (so the makers claim) supposedly an adaptation of Valmiki’s Ramayana makes you tired with its running time of three hours begins with Ravana (Saif Ali Khan) doing penance in front of Brahma and Ravana abducting Janaki (Kriti Sanon) in the disguise of a sadhu and provoking Ram to come for him with the kind of rage which usually isn’t the emotion you’d connect with him. Fast forward to Ram seeking the help of Sugreev, Lord Hanuman (Devdatta Nage), and his brother Lakshman (Sunny Singh), and setting out on the journey of bringing Janaki back from Ravana’s control. The narrative wastes no time in establishing characters or Ram’s aura or what led to his exile from Ayodhya. The director does not at all waste time on building up the story of what led Ram to be banished from Ayodhya on exile and just focuses on Janaki’s treacherous ab ....

Shubh Nikah movie review
What makes the narrative of Shubh Nikah different from the other yarns of this ilk is the fact it maintains a progressive tone in storytelling even as it sets out to convey its message, making the film a well-intentioned effort, says Jyothi Venkatesh. The film is about a young Hindu boy Munnalal Mishra (Rohit Vikram) and a young Muslim girl Zoya (Aksha Pardasany) who fall in love with each other, without realising the obstacles and difficulties that their love will have to face. At first, though both the families object to this relationship when the love birds convince their respective families that the other is willing to convert, they agree. The families once again develop cold feet when, because of the impending conversion, trouble-makers try to start mayhem and threaten to start communal riots. The plot is definitely as old as the hills about two people from di ....
