Bad and Dull!

#BadrinathKiDulhania - More like bad-movie-lath ki dull-hania!

Solo release on Holi weekend might be the only reason why its running. The thought/concept is alright but the execution is immature and lacks grip.

Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania was a pardonable offence for Varun and Alia as it was during their early days; this kind of stuff now is invitation to downfall.

For me, even Tamma Tamma did not raise the tempo of the film.

Overall, bad and dull. Please skip.

1.5 ⭐️ from me.

Powerful

#TheGhaziAttack - A film which makes its mark without any "A-list stars".

The story is crisp; narrative flows smoothly without any dips; acting is top-notch - be it Kay Kay Menon, Atul Kulkarni or Rana Dagubatti, each character is aptly cast. Taapsee Pannu is just there - with no scope to show her acting prowess! The ladies in the film (total 5 i think) seem to be there just to fulfil womens' quota. ;-)

Some parts are dramatic and totally masala-movie-esque but overall, a good movie. Definitely worth a dekko.

3.5 ⭐️

Jolly Good!

#JollyLLB2 - Thankfully a pretty decent watch after 2 disasters over last 2 weekends.

Although he is neither #Raees nor #Kaabil, the Jolly fellow ensures entertainment all the way through! :-)

Superb performance by Saurabh Shukla, ably supported by Annu Kapoor. Akshay Kumar is kinda unfit for the character but does not lose grip. Kumud Mishra is underutilized and so is Huma Qureshi.

The dialogues are quirky and the tact with which the seasoned actors deliver them make them even better!

Overall a good one time watch. Hard to find too many flaws.

4/5 ⭐️ from me.
