Fan
(2016)

Nice attempt
Fan is a good movie with Shahrukh Khan at his best.Shahrukh managed to play both the characters convincingly.Yet again we see Shahrukh in a negative role.

Script is different from typical Bollywood movie.Screenplay was intriguing and fast.Although there were some faults in the screenplay but they can be ignored.

Shahrukh is a great actor and he should do more movies like this in which he shows his acting skills and not some cheap comedy movies which are just made with the purpose of earning money at the box office.

Movie has no songs.I was expecting 'Jabra Fan' song in it which had already become very popular.

This movie is definitely way better than his previous movies like Dilwale, Happy New Year and Chennai Express.

Director Maneesh Sharma and whole team of Fan should be applauded for this movie.

If you want to see real Shahrukh and a well written script then you cannot miss 'Fan'.

Overall I give it 8/10

The Lorax
(2012)

Movie with a message
Story-A boy who lives in a town with no trees need to find 'onceler' because he is the only one who knows what happened to all the trees.

"The Lorax" started nicely but by the time movie was finished,I realized that there was something missing from this movie.In my opinion,that thing is nice story.

Although movie gives a lovely message that we should plant more trees and should not ignore their importance but to make a really good movie you should also have a great story.

Animation was very good and there were some funny characters too in the movie.

Movie has some nice moments but overall it doesn't have anything special. But movie is not too bad and you can surely watch it one time.

Overall I give it 6/10

Sultan
(2016)

Good Wrestling Movie
Story-Sultan Ali Khan (Salman Khan)is a small town wrestler in Haryana who faces problems in his professional and personal life.

Salman Khan is perfect in his role.Its a good sign that Salman is choosing nice scripts now and focusing more on his roles.Anushka Sharma and Randeep Hooda were also good.Anushka has been given a very important role in this movie and she has performed it maturely.Ali Abbas Zafar,who is director of the movie,has done a good job.Background score is good.This movie may be biggest hit of Salman Khan.

Story is simple but screenplay is intriguing.Wrestling scenes are well directed and performed.There is a perfect mixture of emotions,humor and action in the movie.Editing could have been better.

As expected from Salman Khan,movie is family entertainer.Salman Khan fans will surely enjoy this movie.

Overall I give it 8/10.

Udta Punjab
(2016)

Bitter truth of Punjab
"Udta Punjab" is based on drug abuse in the Indian state of Punjab.I don't know why there was so much controversy about the content of the movie.Surely abusive language is used in the movie but it doesn't deserve to be banned.In fact,this movie is giving social message to youth to stop consumption of drugs.

Shahid Kapoor is phenomenal and so is Alia Bhatt.Kareena Kapoor Khan and Diljit Dosanjh have also done nice work.

Background score is good.Editing could have been better.

Screenplay is good.Director and his team has tried to make a movie on real circumstances of Punjab.I hope that this movie changes life of many drug addicts.

"Udta Punjab" should be appreciated for its social awareness and phenomenal performances.

Overall I give it 8/10.

Ip Man
(2008)

One of the best martial art movies
This is the first Hong Kong movie that I have watched and I really enjoyed it.

This is surely one of the best martial art movies ever made.

Donnie Yen was brilliant as master Yip.His action scenes were superb and his expressions were perfect.

Story is nice and touching.All characters are believable.All actors have done a great job.

Martial Arts lovers will surely like it.I hope other 2 parts are equally good.

Overall I give it 8/10

Wazir
(2016)

Could have been better
I feel that this movie had potential but somehow it is not able to deliver as it should have been.

The plot is gripping but movie is not fast paced.Overall, movie is good but you have to be patient to fully enjoy this movie.

Biggest negative point about this movie is boring screenplay and some emotional scenes that were really not required.Although, story is good overall.

Director was not able to deliver it perfectly.Editing could have been better.

As expected,Farhan Akhtar and Amitabh Bachchan have given excellent performances.

Overall I give it 7/10.

Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me
(1999)

Average comedy movie
You can enjoy this movie only if you are a kid because there are too many flaws in scripts and screenplay that you can't ignore.

Also comedy is there in bits and pieces.Characters are doing anything they want.Some scenes are illogical.

I don't know what was happening in action scenes.They were terrible.There were 10-15 bad people with guns and they were not able to hurt Austin Powers in any scene.

Most of the jokes were repetitive and not hilarious at all.

I understand that it's suppose to be a parody of James Bond, but it's not funny.At least I was expecting some good action scenes from Hollywood movie.

Overall I give it 5/10.

Humshakals
(2014)

Boring and Irritating
Sajid Khan should stop making movies after directing 2 worst movies ever made in Bollywood history.There was no humor and story was flat.

I don't know what was actresses doing in this movie.There are 3 actresses in the movie and their presence is maximum 15 minutes.

The soundtrack of Humshakals is composed by Himesh Reshammiya and I want to say that most of the songs are bad.How can you make such a horrible song like "Caller Tune" and its choreography is even worse.

Only good thing about movie is acting.Saif Ali Khan and Riteish Deshmukh have done a good job but they will not be praised for their efforts because movie is too bad that people will hate it.

Overall I give it 4/10.

Zootopia
(2016)

Funny and Smart
"Zootopia" is one of the best animated movie of the year 2016.Its story is nice,screenplay is good and have some funny moments too.

Animation is simply amazing.Full marks for animation. I am surely going to watch it again.Humor content is high in this movie.

Movie also gives some good messages like we can't judge a person just by looking at it and we should give everyone at least one chance to prove himself/herself.

Movie is very funny and likable.Movie is entertaining throughout and there is not any boring moment that I remember.There are funny characters,adorable characters and some evil characters.

This amazing movie is highly recommended for movie lovers of all age. Its a family movie,so enjoy it with your family and friends.

Overall I give it 9/10.

Dark Shadows
(2012)

Horrible
For me ,it is one of the Worst movie of Johnny Depp.I watched this movie due to Johnny Depp,but he disappointed me.Movie is boring with bad screenplay.

I don't know why this movie is put in comedy genre.There is no comedy scene.Even there is not any horror content.

There is no story in this movie.Acting is average.This is truly director's fault that movie is so awful and boring.He should have worked more on screenplay and characters.

There is nothing in this movie that I was expecting.

I give this movie 4/10.

The Lone Ranger
(2013)

Disappointing
When I first saw the trailer of this movie,it really looked good having good action scenes and some comedy.But there was nothing new to show in the movie which wasn't shown in trailers.

There were so many illogical scenes in the movie which doesn't make any sense.

Johnny Depp's character was similar to his most lovable character of Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of The Caribbean,but somehow not up to the marks.

Movie could have been much better if director would have focused more on screenplay and action scenes.

Don't watch this movie with higher expectations.Even you can skip this.

Maybe Johnny Depp fans may enjoy this movie.

Overall I give it 4/10.

Kaun?
(1999)

Best Phychological thriller of Bollywood
Story-A young woman is alone in the house and a serial killer is in the city who kills people by getting into their house.Suddenly there is knocking on the door by some stranger.Is he the same killer? 'Kaun' (meaning who)is phychological thriller movie directed by Ram Gopal Varma.

Acting wise Urmila was fabulous.She was convincing and performed her part really well. Manoj Bajpayee and Sushant Singh were as usual good in their roles.

The best thing about this movie is story and screenplay.Screnplay is written by Anurag Kashyap.

Movie is full of twists and it has really huge fan following.I wasn't expecting such a great ending from this movie.

'Kaun' is surely best phychological thriller of Bollywood.Movie is a treat for suspense-thriller lovers.

Overall I give it 9/10

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery
(1997)

Average movie
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery is a 1997 spy action comedy film.

There are some funny moments in this movie but in pieces.Dr. Evil's character was not fully developed.

There are multiple plot holes in the script.Should have focused much on script before making it.

I think movie is overrated.Currently its IMDb rating is 7 but it does not deserve more than 6.You can still watch this movie if you don't believe in a good story and logic.

Overall I give it 5/10.

Dilwale
(2015)

Worst movie of Shahrukh
This movie is really bad.Even 'Happy New Year' and 'Chennai Express' were better than it.

This is really worst movie of Shahrukh Khan and probably worst movie of 2015.

I don't know why Rohit Shetty directed this movie.There was no story at all.Overacting by Johnny lever and Varun Sharma.

There were same repetitive dialogues in this movie that we have been listening since 1980's movie and story is also similar to Amitabh Bachchan starrer 'Hum'.

Only music was good in the whole movie.

Illogical movie illogical screenplay.There were too many plot holes in this movie.Despite having a great star cast,movie is awful.

Rohit Shetty fails in his attempt in delivering a good romantic comedy family entertainer.

Overall I give it 2/10.

The VVitch: A New-England Folktale
(2015)

Dark and Creepy
Film was little boring at the starting but once story takes turn,you will start enjoying it.You need to have little patience to enjoy it completely.

There are several dialogue in movie which are difficult to understand as movie is set around 17th century.

This movie is really different.It scares you and there are some twists and nice screenplay.cinematography was good.

Background score was perfect for the movie.

Horror film fans will definitely enjoy it.Not one of the best,but still watchable.

Overall I give it 7/10.

Himmatwala
(2013)

Irritating and Boring
Himmatwala is hugely disappointing.

Dialogues were really bad.I don't know what great actor like Paresh Raval was doing in this movie.His role was really irritating.

Only positive thing about this movie is its songs.

Himmatwala may be the worst movie of 2013.

The tiger fight scene was really looking fake and there was no need to add it in movie.

Please don't watch this movie and save your time.

I didn't expected such a bad movie from Ajay Devgn.

I give this movie 3/10.

Kapoor & Sons
(2016)

Fantastic Movie
"Kapoor and Sons" is surely one of the best movies of Bollywood in 2016. Movie is full of emotions, comedy, some romance and drama.

All actors have done a fabulous job.Fawad Khan was good.Sidharth Malhotra and Alia were nice.But it was great Rishi Kapoor who steal the show.He was funny and adorable throughout the movie.

I think script played the biggest role in the success of the movie.All characters were nicely written and played.Screenplay was brilliant as well as editing.There were couple of nice songs in movie too.

It is an excellent movie that you must watch with your entire family.This movie cannot be missed by Bollywood movie lovers.

Overall I give it 9/10.

The Boy
(2016)

Could have been better
"The boy" is a thriller-horror movie about an American nanny who has to take care of doll whose owner treats it like their son and claims that it is really alive.

Well, idea of movie was a little different but there was something missing in screenplay.Maybe it was horror content as there were not many frightening scenes.

There's a nice twist in the end of the movie but even it was also not able to save movie completely because I have seen that in another movie also whose name I can't reveal.I feel that story and screenplay could have been better.

But in spite of all these limitations,The Boy is nice movie but don't watch it with higher expectations(especially as a horror movie).

Overall I give it 7/10.

Singh Is Bliing
(2015)

Funny Family Movie
Akshay Kumar is one of the best comedians in Bollywood and he proves this in Singh is Bling.He has really a good sense of humor.

There is nothing new in the script but Akshay Kumar and other actors in movie don't let you think about limitations of this movie.

You can watch this movie with your family and have some quality time with them.

Akshay Kumar and Lara Dutta were perfect in their role.

This is one of the best family comedy movie after a long time.

All songs of movie are good.

Outdoor locations are nice.

You can skip this movie if you use logic behind every scene.

Overall I give it 8/10,

The Visit
(2015)

Below average movie
Story-Two siblings become increasingly frightened by their grandparent's disturbing behavior while visiting them on vacation.

I found this movie a little bit irritating.First half was very slow.

Director tried to make a different type of movie but failed in his attempt.The movie was shot as if it is shot through a normal camera by the children and this was very irritating.Camera was shaking and audio was not clear sometimes.

I was expecting to watch a good horror movie instead of a boring documentary.

Please watch this movie at your own risk.I am never going to watch it again.

Overall I give this movie 5/10.

Bajirao Mastani
(2015)

Good performances and music
Bajirao Mastani is a 2015 Indian epic historical romance film directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who also composed the music of the film.

Ranveer Singh as Bajirao was brilliant.He is a good actor and he should choose more roles like this.Deepika was good but I liked Priyanka's acting more.

As expected from a Sanjay Leela Bhansali movie,Costumes, sets and cinematography were magnificent. Movie mainly focuses on human relations.

Music and choreography is nice.

But there is nothing new in the script as movie shows us simple love story drama that we have seen in many movies.,just the way of showing it was different as the movie is about early 18th century.

This film won nine Filmfare Awards including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress for Priyanka Chopra.

Goosebumps
(2015)

Nice adventure movie
Story-A teenager teams up with the daughter of horror author R. L. Stine after the writer's imaginary demons are set free on their town.

It was based on the children's book series of the same name.

Goosebumps is a funny, family entertainment movie.

Direction and background score was good.

All actors have done decent job.

Visual effects of movie were good.

Goosebumps is not a brilliant movie but you can watch it if you are looking for a funny,adventure,family,action movie.

Overall I give this movie 7/10.

Kung Fu Panda 3
(2016)

Family entertainer
Kung Fu Panda is surely one of the best movie series ever made.Animation is good,dubbing is nice along with humor and good fight sequences.

Movie is great family entertainment from start to finish with a lots of funny moments.

Movie is fast paced along with character and story development.

It's a beautiful movie, filled with likable characters and there will be a smile on your face throughout the movie.

This is nearly perfect movie and it won't disappoint you.

Overall I give this movie 9/10.

Rocky Handsome
(2016)

Nice Attempt Having Amazing Action Sequences
Rocky Handsome is above average movie having Amazing Action Sequences but nothing new in story.

First half of movie is slow but second half is better.There were lack of emotions in movie and acting was also average.Surprisingly "Nishikant Kamat" has done a good job in negative role.

"Rocky Handsome" is directed by Nishikant Kamat who previously also directed "Force" and "Drishyam".Hence my expectations were high from this movie but I have to say that I am little bit disappointed by this movie.I feel that more work should have been done on screenplay and story.

Fans of John Abraham will surely enjoy this.

Overall I give this movie 7/10.

Whiplash
(2014)

Must Watch
Whiplash is a beautiful movie that shows perception and expectations of a young drummer and an experienced band teacher who is short tempered and very strict.Movie is boring in starting but last half hour was amazing.

JK Simmons was amazing as a Band teacher and he really deserves that Oscar for best supporting actor in a Supporting Role.Other cast was also nice.

Watch this movie if you want to fulfill your dreams no matter how much hurdles are there in your life.

My recommendation is that don't watch this movie with higher expectations.

Overall I give this movie 8/10.
