Deva movie review
The film Deva, a remake of the Malayalam flick Mumbai Police released way back in 2013, features the tale of Kochi City ACP Antony Moses, who is infamously known as Rascal Moses due to his chauvinistic character. Basically, the film is about a rebellious and abrasive cop who sets out to investigate a murder case but suffers memory loss after a major accident. As he retraces his past, he discovers some unsettling truths about his department and himself. Sadly, the film drains you of whatever energy you have when you start watching the film over the course of 156 minutes, as the screenplay team—Bobby–Sanjay, Abbas Dalal, Hussain Dalal, Arshad Syed, and Sumit Arora—takes you through the various layers and shades of Dev, and the unravelling the mystery on and on. The mystery does thicken in the second half, when the whole tonality shifts from action to dark and intense emotions a ....

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 ....

Krispy Rishtey movie review
Karan (Jagat Singh) gives in to his father's wishes, breaking up with his childhood crush Natasha (Manmeet Kaur) and gets married to Anjali (Diljott) who is a traditional Indian family cultured girl who is committed to her husband.

Things get complicated and messy when Vinod (Ronit Kapill) an old admirer of Anjali comes back into her life to pacify the homely girl and this results into a complex love quadrangle.
