Detective Byomkesh Bakshy review: Is the big screen adaptation of this iconic super sleuth worth your time and money? Here's five factors which help decide.

Badlapur review: Avijit Das Patnaik lists five things in this revenge saga which may make or break this latest offering from director Sriram Raghavan.

The idea was good, the execution started well but a 2hr simple comedy has been twisted to a 2:45 hr complicated tragedy.

Seldom does a movie end so brilliantly that even after 2.5 hrs you wish it went on a bit longer.

Arbaaz Khan Productions' third venture Dolly Ki Doli (Dabangg 1 & 2 explain the Ds in DKD) hit Singapore theatres (Bombay Talkies) this week.

The movie is not just about medical fraternity. To me, it came across as a movie on professional ideologies and ethics be it medicine or law.

Is this critically acclaimed movie worth your time and money? Here’s seven important things you can expect from Ugly (spoiler free)

There is no condoning of terrorism in the movie but it simply tells the story of a youth who lived for his pride and how he got manipulated into the act of terrorism.

The portrayal of artistry and talent of the children in the film, as reflected in their works of photography, critics have said, have not only served as examples of remarkable observation and talent; but have also reflected something much larger: the role of art in all humanity as an immensely liberating and empowering force.

Though Jilla boasts of huge star casts, it lacks substance. With its predictable story, it is a typical Tamil masala potboiler.

Isn’t a bad watch if you are used to supernatural thrillers with slow moving, contemplative back and forth narrations.

Shahid Kapoor as Haider in the second half, etches an unforgettable performance. The support cast are brilliant, but the real protagonist of the movie is Kashmir.

I recommend this highly especially for its laughter, comical situations and its underlying message. The film reminds me of Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s style of story telling where a loser becomes a real life hero.

The brilliant use of music in Alor Pipasa, composed by Hemanta Mukhopadhyay, strides two different segments – one scholarly and the other populist (suiting to the period of the story).
