Opening Doorz
“Celebrating Life”
Nisha (Maria Mozdah) is like this little kitten loved by her family who is suddenly kicked around and is wondering for what? She draws you into her plight. How you want to tear into the screen and protect her from what is happening to her. She emotes with her saucer like eyes and fluid body language. Your heart beats for Nisha! A gripping performance by Maria Mozdah!
Thappad Movie Review on Opening Doorz. Thappad is a lesson for men and women, especially for the woman of how not to be a doormat wife! By Martin D’Souza.
Step out if you want an action flick with no-frills attached. Don’t miss the ending, not a solid impact, but a twist nonetheless. By Martin D’Souza.
Tanhaji Movie Review on Opening Doorz: The sets are lavish, the screenplay laudable and the background score is good. The Script lacks depth.
Chhapaak Hindi Movie Review: It is not entirely gripping, yet is socially relevant. Full marks for Deepika for stepping out of her comfort zone.
Milap Zaveri, who also credits himself with the writing, has himself to blame for this shoddy piece of craft that would have best been appreciated in the 90s!
Technically, the film is sound with the action scenes being first-rate. However, Siddharth Anand loses his grip on War by being generous with 36 extra minutes. Pankaj Kapur did the same mistake with Mausam with a run-time of 168 minutes!
Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas is a below-par launch vehicle for Karan Deol, who is stiff, dances with two left feet and has to work on his dialogue delivery.
After 30 minutes into the film, director Vikas Bahl goes astray, focussing too much on drama rather than making the teaching a realistic affair. The slant is more on appealing to the emotions than dishing out a crisp plot.
For a Marvel fan who is familiar with the superheroes and has binged on the films, this is a delight and a must-watch. For a person who hasn’t watched any Marvel film, this will be a thriller. They too will find this a great watch and a movie to remember.
Junglee Movie Review: It’s Haathi Mayhem Saathi. The movie does start with a promise but misses its mark because of the poor support cast.
Gully Boy is a celebration of life in Asia’s largest Slum. It does not demean the society but brings it to light in a beautiful manner without the frills and fancy of a typical Bollywood film. No naach gaana, no dishoom dishoom, just plain story-telling with its heart in the right place.
The only actor to catch the eye is Shreya Dhanwanthary who excels in the ‘Plain Jane’ look as well as the girl in a corporate set-up. Her transition, screen presence and character graph is the only good thing in the flick.
The movie is more a docu-comedy with director Vijay Gutte trying to highlight Dr Singh as he is. In that sense, he has been honest and Dr Singh’s character shines out throughout.
The twist in the tale comes at the interval and you wonder how the film will move on. But Aditya Sarpotdar and Mauli Sarjerao Deshmukh have other plans.
Andhadhun Movie Review: Sriram Raghavan’s Andhadhun is both, subtly comic as well as engagingly tense. It’s full of suspense till the end.
