Antim The Final Truth

Antim - The Final Truth
Not Too Good.. Not Too Bad .. Strictly Average ,Mass Entertainer 3 Star ⭐⭐⭐
The film has too much action & fight sequences at disposal all through its runtime , Highlight of the film remains its Interval punch & a super solid climax . BGM of the film by Ravi Basrur is lit and adrenaline pumping. Ayush Sharma delivers his best performance as the bad boy and he evolves in the film as a gangster with his acting , Salman Khan's role is almost like an extended cameo and he has delivered a neat & mass appealing performance , his character has a core and impressive action plan , there is a scene where Salman Khan takes off his turban and shows off his long hairs and a tough rugged look which will definetly make Salman Khan Fans go gaga and whistle all through that action sequence . Director Mahesh Manjrekar has a role of an alcholic in the film and he has delivered over the top performance , Mahima Makwana had very less to do in her debut but has done a good job rest follows the ensemble cast all who have done an amazing job. What falls short for the film is an predictable plot plus the director has concentrated a lot on action , every scene in the film is an action scene , leaving very less scope for a normal story flow . The Climax is predictable yet leaves a impact for the twist and way its presented by the director . Overall this film has good performances , lot of action and a mass appeal making it definetly an average film to watch out in the cinemas . This film is largely made for theatre only experience , the same impact wont be felt if watched on your televisoon or pc. If you are a fan of action and mass movies this one is watchable in the cinemas . 

Shiddat

Shiddat(D+Hotstar)
Tries hard to be an epic love story but fails , Very unrealistic at parts ,Strictly Average movie 2.5 Star ⭐⭐.5
The film stands on a thin line plot of lovey dowy romance turning out into series of events that try to prove that the love is shiddat wala love . The films opens on a good note but then at parts there are scenes which are unrealistic and ilogical . The music is a plus , BGM is also decent , Cinematography is also good . Coming to the actors Sunny Kaushal with all ease delivers a amazing performance , Radikha Madan is decent but struggles in emotional scenes . The one and only person who holds the film on his shoulder is Mohit Raina , he is rock solid and amazing , you will totally love his role . Diana penty has very less screenspace & she has given her best . Overall this is a timepass love story and a strictly mediocre film . 

Helmet

Helmet
Humorous with a social message but could have been better 2.5 Star ⭐⭐.5
The film is a unqiue concept from Khurana Brother Aparshakti with a socially apt much required message. Film starts off well but soon derails from its plot and there is a lot of mess around , through there is entertainment in parts the film seems too predictable and the climax disappoints and looks highly not feasible. Actors have done a great job but still Aparshakti Khurana in the lead dosent suit well , he definetly is a great actor but in the supporting role looks best in his case . Overall a average going entertainer 

Bhoot Police

Bhoot Police 

Blend of Humour & Horror a great timepass watch 3 Star ⭐⭐⭐

This is a fun movie to watch out this weekend , though the film missed out major punches like Stree still the film manages to keep you entertained , curious and engaged. Saif Arjun Duo has worked out well as ulat baba & sons ,The screenplay is well written and not exxagarated at any point , BGM is great , actors have done justice to their roles with Saif Ali Khan Having lot of fun ans entertaining us as well , Arjun Kapoor is decent , Yami Gautam has also done a great job , Jacquiline Fernandes has been as usual , Yashashwini Dayama was a surprise in the film , Javed Jaffery is an excellent actor but this time his role felt unnecessary. Dialouges could have been better in the film  , also a few scenes are very childish those could have been skipped. Climax is amazing and you will love how everything connects well . Overall a unqiue movie with few shortcomings but still entertains you and is definetly a timepass watch . 

Bell Bottom

Bell Bottom
Engaging and powerful Start but Underwhelming Climax, Average going film 3 Star ⭐⭐⭐
This espionage thriller holds u well till the first half but slowly is brought down by poor narration and extremly disastrous vfx and visuals. Lara Dutta as Indira Gandhi is phenomenal from the makeover to carrying the character along , Akshay Kumar no doubt delivers a great performance and packs a punch with his dialouges , Huma Quareshi & Vani Kapoor have  done a decent job.Rest follows the ensemble cast . The emotional angle to the story does add great value to the film making it a decent watch , BGM is bang onn.
The stratergy and skeleton of film was great but the execution was tad poor and unorganised . The film looses track at parts and dosent add to the thrill experience of the movie, the impact that should have actually been for the film is missing .Vfx has been very poor specially the climax scenes looks very confusing and hodge podge . Editing is fine but could have been still better in making the film spot on. Overall this is a film based o  true events and is an average going film that can be watched to experience the story of bell bottom and his dedication towards national security . The film is not too Good Not Too Bad , can definetly be watched once .

Toofaan

Toofaan

Strictly Mediocre,the film & its characters are earnest but same old bollywood boxing formula nothing outstanding 2.5 Star ⭐⭐.5 

With huge expectation comes this sports drama , 110% marks for the hardwork put on by Farhan Aktar for his transformation & also for effortless acting as Aziz ali the gangster as well as boxer aka Toofaan . The film as an whole does have few moments of fun,emotion , love and a message being delivered without being preachy, but what fails is the cliche boxing sequences ,an formula thats age old in bollywood  and no more excites the audience , None of the boxing seem adrenaline pumping or power packed they just seem repetative and all you can do is forward them , the film is too long i.e 2hrs 45mins and poor editing is what makes it dragged , the film could have been easily completed off in 2hrs , unnecessary songs pop up every now and then adding to the boredom , and the title track of Toofaan which could pack a punch is added in the end credits which dosent make any sense . First half is pretty much engaging and you kind of go along with the story as it transits but the 2nd half derails and feels very boring & laggy , the chemistry between the lead pair Farhan & Mrunal excels , and is well presented . Coming to acting Farhan is the real Toofaan and has been mind blowing , Mrunal is beautiful with her smile in every frame and has delivered a nice performance, Veteran actor Paresh Rawal Ji has also delivered an amazingly awesome performance all throughout the film as a coach & as a father , Vijay Raaz in the special appearence is decent . All and all the film missed out on making a zabardast power punch impact , just feels like an ordinary sports drama which is average . Climax scenes are the only points where film has scenes which standout or make a damakedar impact apart from that the film dosent liveup to its expectation.

Sardar Ka Grandson

Sardar Ka Grandson
Promising & Heart Warming concept but fails at execution big time 2.5 Star ⭐⭐.5
This film is an emotional cross border tale something similar to Bhajrangi Bhaijaan in a different way , the film had great potential to excel but the way its written & directed fails bigtime . Nena Gupta is an delight to watch as Sardar , Rakulpreet is beautiful in every frame , Arjun Kapoor has been mediocre and rest follows the ensemble cast. The film has an emotional core attached to it and makes u feel the realm of it at points , had it been directed & executed well would leave heartfull impact . Overall an average film to watch out 

Haseena Dilruba

Haseena Dilruba
Starts Off Promising,Ends Disappointing 2.5 Star ⭐⭐.5
First half has a feeling of something new & intresting, 2nd half is all Slow,mediocre & random and the climax finally kills all the points the film had earned sustaining till the end .Film tries to sail through Thriller , Romance , Entertainment but fails at all of it creating a mess . No doubt the film tries to be something new , something out of the box but as it depends on illogical writing and randomly switching plot it fails bigtime . Vikrant Massey is definetly a star performer in the film , Tapsee Pannu has also done a decent Job , Harshvardan Rane also stands out in his act but again very less screen space for a character that was important .Many scenes in the film lack common sense. The film in first half definetly looks very intresting and engaging starting from the depection of early marriage days to the point when a 3rd person enters in, but from the 2nd half the film looses its track which is sterotypical and random, investigation also stays mediocre and the climax is out of the world illogical and beyond any scope left to be accepted as reality . The whole thriller point for which you wait until the end is like a mere joke and as usual the film ends like a typical bollwyood film proving that the film is nothing new , nothing out of the box . overall a total disappointment from a film that had lot of expectations . 

Kagaaz

KAGAAZ(Zee5 Movie)

Biographical Drama Worth the watch 3.5 Star ⭐⭐⭐.5 

This film based on Lal Bihari Mritak is a fresh & Unique take on the life of a person with tragedy, emotion ,comedy and never give up atittude which gets him a lot of hurdles throughout life personally , financially & emotionally but the end result is worth it . Every character in the film starting from Pamkaj Tripati, Satish Kaushik to Monal Gajjar have done a great job , Pankaj Tripati specially is the driving soul and a charm of this film with his impecabble comic time and amazing acting throughout the runtime . The direction could have been better as the film had lot of scope but at points there is a feeling of something lacking , even the climax could be better executed . overall its a innovative film with a innovative concept , it has humour , it has situations where u feel the emotion of the character , it has a story that needs attention as such things still happen in the society . So all and all its not a normal film where you expect masala its a different kind of an film and i believe such films need to be supported as there is a meaning and a purpose for the film and a story thats being portrayed like never before , So overlook the silly flaws and watch this wonderful film . its definetly a one time watch and a memorable film as well .

Chhalaang(Prime Movie)

Chhalaang(Prime Movie)

Entertaining but plain predictable , One Time family Entertainer 2.5 Star ⭐⭐.5

The film starts off well with humour at parts to keep you live and alive with entertainment , the characters are also well written and the chemistry goes well between Rajkumar Rao and Nushrat Barucha, the film takes a predictable turn once the love triangle is established on the entry of Zeeshan Ayub, the film is decently well made with all efforts in direction, acting ,humour and screenplay put together making it watchable ,the film as it progess towards end struggles between sports drama & love genre . Few Scenes towards the end lack logic and general reasoning , by the mid of the film you know whats going to be the climax that flat predictability is what draws down the film . Full marks for the dialouges , immpecable comic time  and the chemistry between the lead pair . All and all its a film that you can watch once with your family , the whole cast has delivered amazing performance and the entertainment quotient keeps the film a bit on track and alive .

French Biryani(Kannanda)

French Biryani(Kannada)
Fresh Stream Of Comedy Genre for Kannada film industry, a timepass entertainer 3 Star ⭐⭐⭐
A film about comedy of errors hilariously driven by the super funny Danish Sait as Asgar with his impeccable comic time, there are lol moments all throughout to keep you entertained and amused ,the ensemble cast has done equal justice to their respective role. On entertainment point its a fun movie , though the screenplay lags at points and a few scenes seem unnnecessary or forced and the second half going a bit dull here and there .

This movie helmed by Mohit Suri Keeps it in the same track & Operand like his previous film EEK VILLAN , the Cinematography is vivid and colorful with amazing sequences from Goa, the film is youthful and full of energy, the first half seems little laggy and slow paced and wont intrest you much but the 2nd half gets pumped up with energy,adrenaline and the final twist towards the climax is something to look out got , Overall its is a one time film that you can watch.

Ujda Chaman
An Average Predictable entertainer 2.5 Star
A Unique topic has been focused in this film regarding premature Balding , the first half is complete entertainer and fun to watch but what fails is a bad writing in the second half as the film hardly had content to live on in the 2nd half and hence fails to be much fun , the plot also gets very predictable and basic , the climax is also typical and expected which makes it a average film all together that can be watched for lite entertainment.

THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR

>Sunny Singh has delivered a decent performance and his comic time is spot on and has made us laugh out loud at points in the film
>The Topic touched and message it has tried to portray is something beautiful and meaningful
>The First half is a big plus for this film being humorous and full on entertaining
>The Ensemble cast has done a good job

NEGATIVES

>Screenplay fails in the 2nd half to generate any curosity or fun as it gets very predictable and typical
>Story has great potential but half baked writing killed it
>Dialogues could have been more witty and spot on that would add more beauty to a film like this

FINAL VERDICT

Its a timepass entertainer that can be watched once 

THE SKY IS PINK

THE SKY IS PINK Soul Touching Story Of Love & Loss flawed with too loooong narration making it too boring 2.5 Star⭐⭐.5 This film is based on real incident is a beautiful and soulful film but needs a lot of patience to be watched . The baseline of the story and how the characters stitch with the screenplay and story telling is something to look out for .Legnth of the movie is too loong to sustain for a end that everyone predicts in the second half , all blames to the editor of this film else this could have been the sweetest film made . Still despite its flaws the film has soul touching story alltogether , beautiful cinematography , elite touch and good performances. You can watch it once in the cinemas provided you keep patience as this is not a regular commercial film , and with all the flaws its a heart touching story that was attempted to be showcased THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR >The performances specially Farhan Aktar has done a great job , we all know him as a good actor and he proves it over again , coming to Priyanaka Jonas it was a average show followed by zaira wasim >The story of this film in baseline is emotional and connects to your heart and its soft Strings >The locations are beautiful and cinemantographer has captured blissful scenery at parts in the film >Humour and emotions at part are genuine NEGATIVES >The run time is too loooong and makes it boring to be watch out for in the cinemas , you need huge patience to sustain the second half >The transition of the film could have been better the timeline of event switches too frequently making it confusing at parts FINAL VERDICT The story being real life incident is really a heart touching story that they are presenting , watch it if you can sustain the loooong narration .

Prassthanam
Strictly Average Film 2.5 Star ⭐⭐.5
GOOD POLITICAL STORY BUT EXECUTION AND NARRATION COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER , the film starts off with great screenplay but gets lousy as it transits, twists at points and climax specially add value to the film . Too many unwanted songs , too many unrelated conflicts slow down the film . Music and BGM not upto the mark . Story had a great potential but the making ,editing and narration slows down the film . Overall an average political film .

THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR
>Baba Back in action is something to look out for .
>The story has quite good twists and had a potential of being different kind of an film
>Jackie Shroff, Ali Fazal , Chunkey pandet and Sanjay Dutt have done a great job all together when it comes to performances
>The second half spclly has a curosity and grip for the audience to guess on what will happen next so that factor drives the film , the story and the twists keep the audience engaged at points in the film

NEGATIVES

>The Screenplay did have twists and enganging points but most of the screentime went on unwanted focus to not so relevant conflicts happening around , irrelevant characters etc.
>Songs were poor and didnt add any value to the film
>Dialouges could have been more punching and energetic
>The editing also could have been made better to make the film to the point

FINAL VERDICT

GANG LEADER

Gang Leader
A film lost in its confused transition , timepass watch 3 Star
The film has a great potential to shine with its plot but ends up to be a loose film that does not connect on emotion , fun or action overall making it a timepass watch . The director in the transition missed on whether to concentrate on humour or story or emotion or action making it half baked , and even the story after a point becomes predictable which is another drawback , Overall a movie that you can watch out in your free time for timepass . Not as much as it was expected to be .

THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR

>The Ensemble cast has done a great job in doing their roles to the par and also entertaining us at points with the comic time
>Nani in a fun creepy avatar combined with his action and emotions gives it shades of Nani for his fans to cheer for
>The Skeleton and basic plot of the film and the idea behind it was innovative

NEGATIVES

>The film fails to deliver best in any of its depertments may it be action , emotion , humour it all ends being average and half baked in all the departments .
>The Plot was great but the way story was written made it too dramatic and typical .
>Few points in the film seems deliberate attempt to be different but that didnt stand out for the film
>The Strong Emotional connect was missing though each character had a sad story in backdrop it fails to bring that pain alive to be felt on screen
>Climax is too much rushed and incompletely made

FINAL VERDICT

A Timepass film , its noo too bad its not too good , its strictly average 

Judgemental Hai Kya

Judgemental Hai Kya
Narrative is Beyond Basic ,performance top notch But lacks that edge of the seat thrill 3 Star ⭐⭐⭐
Performances are top notch,Narration and transition goes beyond basic by exploring the dark pyschological genre with a social message. What fails to work is the thrill the movies is moved round and round confusing the audience but at a point you know what the suspense is , so the suspense that you expect at edge of your seat fails to give that impact and thrill . Story line could have been better its just basic and raw just twisted in a way to confuse people and a lot of extra exxgaration and expectation is build up is created for no reason . Overall average dark pysco comic thriller.

THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR

>Performances by Kangana and Rajkumar Rao is at par excellence and they justify their roles to the best
>The give away of this film is touching message to the society
>The Narration of this film is great and stands out .
>The genre of dark psyco thriller is well explored

NEGATIVES

>Plot could have been better the story could have been refined well but here it is just confusing and finally ends basic which is disappointing
>Editing could have been crisp to make the movie short and clear
>The Suspense of this film dosent give any impact as you would already know whats gonna happen .
>Too Much exxagaration and unnecessary build up in the movie

FINAL VERDICT

Its looks to be a different film but somehow ends basic . A film that can be watched for the performances and the social message.
