LOGAN - Movie review

LOGAN - Rating: ***

movie review by Pawan Gupta

Supposedly the finale of the Wolverine franchise, Logan itself is an offshoot of the X-Men series.

The makers of this series have carefully crafted the character to highlight the human side and named it Logan rather then his larger than life superhero the Wolverine as he is also show anything but a superhero.

The story is set in the year 2029 the special school and all the X-Men are gone, with no more new mutants on the block.

An aging and haggard Logan is taking care of the nonagenarian Professor Xavier who himself is senile and on tablets to prevent him from going crazy, as if this was not bad enough enters the young daughter of Logan created from his genes and surrogacy of a Mexican mom with much of his abilities and more and thus disrupting the uneasy yet cozy arrangement.

Saat Uchakkey – movie review

Rating: ***

A comedy caper about 7 scoundrels pursuing their ulterior motive amid saving their skin from the local cop’s hawk eyes.

It appears as a realistic story of these petty crooks blundering their way through an exciting gamut of mystery, greed, treachery and running into one riotouscrisis after another.

Sunaina(Sunny Leone) is a beauty with brains who is a modern day woman and ambitious in terms of her career.She was unaware of the fact that she would end up slapping her boss’s son Raj Malhotra (Rajniesh Duggall) when he misbehaves with her at a party.

She plays the role of a young, ambitious, hardworking girl whose world suddenly comes crashing down due to deceit and harsh realities of life.

Baar Baar Dekho – Movie review

Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif’s pairing electrifies the film. Just that and nothing more.

Much was expected out of Nitya Mehra’s film. After working as an assistant director in films like Ang Lee’s ‘Life of Pie’ and Mira Nair films The Namesake, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, she disappoints in her directorial debut in this romantic drama Baar Baar Dekho.

Baar Baar Dekho also marks the debut of American screenwriter Sri Rao which made news about this film which is based on an ageing romance spanning 30 odd years.

Jai Verma (Sidharth Malhotra) is a Mathematics Professor in Delhi. Diya (Katrina Kaif) is an artist who is madly in love with this handsome professor. They are about to get married when Jai scoffs at the Hindu priest at the time of their wedding about the institution of marriage.

Raman Raghav 2.0 movie review

Rating: 3.5 stars

Nawazuddin Siddiqui stands out in this dark Psychological Thriller with his brilliant portrayal of the psychotic killer of 1960s-70s.

It is generally said that evil exists in each individual on this earth with the percentage of wickedness varying from almost zero to maximum in rarest of the people.

This story is inspired by the notorious serial killer Raman Raghav (an individual) and a fictionalized version of the depiction of the gory, cold blooded murders he committed.

Ramanna uses a regular steel rod to reduce human faces to severed heads and broken skulls. He is shown as a rational human loitering around Mumbai’s underbelly – slums, where he is on the prowl for his next victim.

Such is the detail and simplicity of the character that in one particular scene, when he loosely holds the steel rod (with a bend) and while on his regular walks, he is shown losing his mind on a stray dog, which craftily escapes the psycho’s wrath.

Rating: ***

An unforgettable journey she probably won’t remember

Finding Dory – movie review

A sequel to the 2003 film Finding Nemo, Finding Dory focuses on the amnesiac character Dory, and explores her journey to be reunited with her family.

Now You See Me 2 – movie review

Rating: ***

Review by Pawan Gupta

‘Now You See Me’ is part of famous phrase used by Magicians ” Now you see me, now you don’t” which came from the various magic tricks that they performed in which they used to make things disappear in thin air including themselves.

The title of the film was apt for the first installment of this franchise which was exciting, gripping and edge of the seat drama with the audience involved in what the magicians will do next.

This second installment lacks style and substance but is drunk on technology, and fancy sleight of hand techniques of the four horsemen (there is one change the lady horseman of the previous movie is replaced by another by the name of Lula-Lizzy Caplan in fine form) who are trying to learn each others tricks, there is little magic.

The movie starts with a background narrative by Morgan Freeman whose character Thaddeus Bradley was incarcerated in the end of the last movie and suggests getting even with the five as now he knows who their leader is.

The horsemen are restless to surface back and they get an opportunity in the launch of a Smart phone by the company called Octa which has developed a superchip which Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) learns will enable company to hijack all the data of all the users and upload into its own server and thus have a monopoly on everything from manipulation of the stock markets to control over military computers and he has also learned that the developer intends to sell that to the highest bidder.

Do Lafzon Ki Kahani – movie review

Do Lafzon ki Kahani is a mushy romantic fairytale idea of love, about sacrifice and depicts suffering for the sake of one’s beloved. It begins well yet it has flashes of the cinema of ‘90s

A romantic drama directed by Deepak Tijori is a remake of the 2011 Korean movie ‘Always’. Do Lafzon Ki Kahani features Randeep Hooda and Kajal Aggarwal in the lead roles.

A gifted actor that he is Randeep Hooda comes up with yet another powerful performance. He is equally balanced by Kajal Aggarwal’s acting as a girl who has lost her vision in an accident where she loses her parents. Jenny has an inclination towards Indian culture so much so that she is is obsessed with the regular ‘saas bahu’ type serials.

Suraj (Randeep Hooda) is a part-time boxer in Malaysia. Jenny (Aggarwal) is a blind girl, on meeting whom Suraj falls in love with. When he comes to know that the reason for her blindness in he himself, he decides to have her operated.

Tere Bin Laden Dead or Alive – movie review

A sequel to Tere Bin Laden, this no-brainer comedy film has glimpses of the first part that craftily connects in this story of subsequent events with all its silly antics.

This time, it’s operation ‘Osama Dead or Alive’?

Set against Osama Bin Laden’s mysterious death followed by counter reports claiming he is alive, stirring the biggest controversy in the world.

The US wants to prove to the world that they shot him dead while ‘Khalili ‘(Piyush Mishra) the terrorist arm dealer wants the world to believe he is alive.

‘Tere Bin Laden – Dead or Alive’ is a whacky comical satire that transpires in this desperate tug of war between US & the Terrorists.
