MOVIE REVIEW : HATE STORY 4

Image
Hate Story IV HATE STORY has been a very successful franchise, with HATE STORY 3 [2015] doing huge business at the box office. So does HATE STORY IV also manage to entertain like the previous parts? Or does it falter like the recent adult flicks? Let's analyze. HATE STORY IV is the story of a girl who causes a rift between two brothers. Tasha (Urvashi Rautela) comes to London to become famous but is unable to find success. Luck favors her when she meets Rajveer (Karan Wahi), a photographer who is also a womanizer. He is floored by Tasha's glamorous appeal and recommends her to his brother Aryan (Vivan Bhatena) and his girlfriend cum business partner Rishma (Ihana Dhillon), both of whom are looking for a fresh face for their upcoming cosmetic brand.  Tasha is signed and she becomes famous. Both Aryan and Rajveer start lusting after Tasha and try to get close to her. Meanwhile, their father Vikram Khurana (Gulshan Grover) is running for London Mayoral elections and ...

MOVIE REVIEW : AIYAARY

Movie Review: Aiyaary misses the mark and is a huge letdown Director Neeraj Pandey is one of the best in the business and has a penchant for making thrillers taking a political, crime issues as its central theme. His past experiments with Akshay Kumar, Special 26 and Baby, have worked both at the box office and with masses. This time around, he is back with Aiyaary which again has a strong plotline and a holds out a promise of dumdaar performances by its leads Manoj Bajpayee, Sidharth Malhotra, Vikram Gokhale and Rakul Preet Singh and added appearances by director's favourites Anupam Kher and the effervescent Nasseruddin Shah. With masses still warming up to Akshay Kumar's Pad Man, Aiyaary has released at an opportune moment. Here are our thoughts about the film. Watching the espionage thriller over the weekend? Find out our verdict. First of all, one must be wondering what Aiyaary actually means? So, according to the maker, the word is an embodiment of all the qua...

MOVIE REVIEW : BLACK PANTHER

Black Panther IMDb Rank : 7.5/10 "You'll believe a man can fly." When the first  Superman  film came out in 1978, we'd never seen anything like it. Our relationship with cinema, heroes and telephone booths was instantly, irrevocably altered. An exceptionally handsome man made a beloved character come alive and literally spun our world around. We were enthralled, overwhelmed and - perhaps most importantly - comforted. Here was a hero to save us all. He'd got us. And the line on the poster was no lie. With a superhero movie out every other month, it's easy to forget how much of an event these films once were when they dwarfed us every dozen or so years. That  Superman , the first  Batman  in 1990,  the second  Spider-Man in 2004, they struck us like meteor-sized shots of dopamine, filling us with exultation and wonder, reducing grown-ups to kids and making kids believe in grown-ups. I didn't think I'd ever feel that way for a superhero fil...

MOVIE REVIEW : PADMAN

Image
Movie Review: PADMAN Akshay Kumar for long has been championing social and nationalist causes in his films with TOILET: EK PREM KATHA, AIRLIFT, JOLLY LLB 2, HOLIDAY, BABY, NAAM SHABANA, among others. It would be safe to say that the actor has carved his niche with integrating pertinent issues in commercial cinema space, leading to few of his detractors limiting him to that particular category. Akshay, who also is one of the most bankable stars in the business currently, returns to the big screen with R Balki's PAD MAN based on the issues, relating to menstruation, faced by underprivileged women in rural India. The film is produced by Twinkle Khanna's Mrs Funnybones Movies and has Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte in lead roles along with Kumar. The film revolves around life of Lakshmikant Chauhan (Akshay Kumar) based out of a village in Madhya Pradesh and his inspiring journey of spreading awareness about menstruation and smashing taboos associated with it in the cons...

Movie Review: Padmaavat Finally I watched the most awaited movie, for which I was eagerly waiting to release, PADMAAVAT . I have worte a small review of the movie, Hope you Like it, Make sure you Comment down your experiance if you have also watched. You can face instant rejection from the paying public or face controversies and protests for deviating from facts. The film-maker has to walk a tight rope." PADMAAVAT - everyone's aware - has made it to the front page of newspapers and on prime time news on national television. It's the most talked-about, voraciously discussed and hotly debated film of our times. The mileage it received - nationwide and internationally - has only enhanced the curiosity. Everyone's curious to watch, examine, evaluate and scrutinize PADMAAVAT. The stakes are high and so are the expectations. The moviegoer in me is enthralled by historicals and mythologicals. I've vivid memories of the classics helmed by the doyens and stalwar...
