Toaster is neither a laugh-out-loud comedy nor the kind of satire you would expect from a premise like this, notes Mayur Sanap.
Anything is better than Mastiii 4, sighs Mayur Sanap.
At a time when the politics of hostility has engulfed the world and escalated it into senseless wars Main Vaapas Aaunga's unwavering belief in love is a testament to cinema's uplifting gifts, notes Sukanya Verma.
As Priyanka Chopra Jonas returns as the debonair spy Nadia in Citadel Season 2, we take look at how her Hollywood projects stack up against each other from underwhelming to standout.
When it's not spouting excessive maths jargon -- algorithm alone is uttered a zillion times -- too many characters with too little context crowd the scenes and turn Maa Ka Sum into a slog, observes Sukanya Verma.
Mere Husband Ki Biwi collapses into an unremarkable My Best Friend's Wedding knock-off reducing a woman's worth to a catfight, observes Sukanya Verma.
Sunil Grover and a perky Adah Sharma somehow salvage Sunflower 2, observes Deepa Gahlot.
The comedy is unfunny, the emotional bits are dubious and the music forgettable in Heer Express, observes Deepa Gahlot.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is not romcom material, notes Deepa Gahlot.
If a show about Gujaratis or Indians in the US had to be made, it could have been more authentic, sighs Deepa Gahlot.
Game Changer is underwhelming in the sense that you see the potential being squandered away by timid filmmaking, observes Arjun Menon.
Every year has its share of duds and turkeys. 2024 was no different except that even the rotten ones are too drab to have any real offence value.
Between tons of sexual innuendo and Kapil Sharma brand of slapstick gags characterised in loud caricatures, moronic behaviour, flimsy wigs and cartoonish rhythm, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video's jarring notions of exuberance have nothing novel to offer, groans Sukanya Verma.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is going full throttle with its creeps and cackle, which marks the addition of Madhuri Dixit and re-entry of the OG Manjulika, Vidya Balan.
Vinay Pathak, Divyenndu Sharma and Kusha Kapila are comfortable enough in their comic skins to play their parts with ease, observes Deepa Gahlot.
Yaatris works neither as a comedy nor as a family drama.
Akshay Kumar's Khiladi 786 lacks both good action and good comedy, here is looking at his other films like this.
Shubir Rishi feels Khiladi 786 is a wannabe funny movie, an assault on our collective intellect.
Kanika's problem is so ridiculous, it is surprising she did not discover till the age of 32 what every teen knows, sighs Deepa Gahlot.
Rajkumar Hirani has a mastery in bromance. In Dunki, Sukanya Verma doesn't feel that chemistry one bit, it's more like SRK babysitting a bunch of clueless kids running helter-skelter in a garden believing the grass is always greener on the other side.
...She does not have the acting heft, of say Sridevi in English Vinglish, or Vidya Balan in Tumhari Sulu, observes Deepa Gahlot.
The first episode of Hansika Motwani's wedding reality show has enough drama to make it a decent watch, believes Namrata Thakker.
How can you have a comedy show and not have anyone laughing, wonders Prateek Sur.
For those who enjoy stand up comedy, Comicstaan 3 makes amusing viewing, enough to lift the monsoon gloom, applauds Deepa Gahlot.
Meenakshi Sundareshwar is a Basu Chatterjee slice-of-life packaged in a glossy ad film whose source of heart are its two genuinely likeable leads, feels Sukanya Verma.
The cons are dull, the chemistry is off, the zingers are in short supply and a kitschy display of brand logos and hammy accents takes centre stage, sighs Sukanya Verma.
The film redefines the level of stupid comedy in films.
Hotel Transylvania is atrociously unfunny.
Loud and inert at the same time, the film should be shunned simply because of how cruelly it treats three actors we should treasure.
It is the first time that a significant number of movies simultaneously showcase Indian origin talent. Some of the films, like The Love Guru, have an actor of Indian origin, in this case Manu Narayan getting his first big break. Other like Brick Lane, a story of immigration angst, adultery and redemption set in London, have a mostly Indian cast.
Vinay Pathak is the one reason to watch this stilted comic remake.
Raja Sen is not happy with the new Singh is Bliing trailer.
A promising premise, except it's a poorly planned trip that goes nowhere and infuriates with its inadequacies.
'Just when it looks our film-making is moving away from idolising toxic archetypes for the sake of romantic fulfillment, Aleya Sen's Dil Juunglee comes along and squashes it in entirety,' says Sukanya Verma.
Bhoomi's blood-splattering, bone-crunching vigour is as unwelcome as the rest of this ghastly movie, feels Sukanya Verma.
Amitabh Bachchan is excellent, no question. Only his mystery involved an elusive bottle of Isabgol, says Raja Sen.
AIB break their silence.
One can predict the knocks and punches and dives and VFX-aided saves without as much as batting an eyelid, says Sukanya Verma.
