#SnoopyAndCharlieBrownThePeanutMovie(English/Animation/3D) Rating: * * ½ An underdog story brought to cinematic life in state-of-the-art 3D animation form, based on Charles M Schulz decades old creation, this film is a regurgitated version of the previous Peanuts productions. There’s nothing new here for the new generation and if the idea is to rekindle old familiarity, then it’s probably a little too late in the day to attract fans of yore. Nothing innovative or interesting here. #SteveMartino #AlexanderGarfin #HadleyBelleMiller #FrancescaCapaldi #VenusSchultheis #MarielSheets #BryanSchulz #CraigSchulz #CorneliusUliano #CharlesMSchulz #FoxStarStudios #ShrutiSundaram #VijaySingh #BlueSkyAnimation #20thCenturyFox Runtime:92 mins

#BajiraoMastani(Hindi) Rating: * * * Opulent Extravagance. Forget about history, this is largely an urban legend in fancy dress. But the scene compositions, measured dramatics, visually affecting production design, intricate work on the costumes, choreography and  performances are rousing. #RanveerSingh #DeepikaPadukone #SanjayLeelaBhansali #TanviAzmi #PriyankaChopra #MilindSoman #MaheshManjrekar #ErosInternational #BhansaliProductions #RohiniIyer #RaindropMedia #KishoreLulla Runtime: 145 mins

#StarWarsEpisodeV11TheForceAwakens(English/3D/Imax) Rating: * * * ½   Re-blooding of a super-successful franchise. A fan’s heaven. A reboot that earns it’s highs from nostalgic revisits.

#PointBreak(English/3D/4D/Imax) Rating: * * * Joy-stick controlled adrenaline gusher. A non-stop Thrill seeker. Showboat for adrenaline junkies. Wowing with incredible feats but the narrative contrivances fail to rustle-up a force of great magnitude. Plethora of heart-in-the-mouth moments but logic and gravity take a beating. Heart-stopping thriller but the connections are facile. Eight incredible adventure stunts rolled out in a heart-stopping package. It’s not exactly cinema but it will get you hooked.  #ParullGossainPR #PVRPictures #DiptiWalia #AlconEntertainment #DMGEntertainment #WarnerBros #TaylorBaldecchiWimmerProduction #LukeBracey #EdgarRamírez #RayWinstone #TeresaPalmer #EricsonCore #AndrewAKosove #BroderickJohnson #JohnBaldecchi #DavidValdes #ChristopherTaylor #KurtWimmer Runtime: 114 mins

 

#MonsterHunt(English/3D) Rating: * * * An amiable 3D live-action animation fantasy that starts-off with a Monsters Vs Humans preamble  before it can culminate in a diverse-species merge that could encourage disbelief. The eye-pleasing FX dynamics and the classy animation keep you glued even though the narration tends to lag in the middle bits.  #BaiheBai #BoranJing #WuJiang  #RamanHui #ElaineJin #WallaceChung #EricTsang #SandraNg #TangWei #YaoChen #YanNi #BaoJianfeng #WangYuexin #GuoXiaodong #ZhouPinrui #MultiVisionPictures #LatikaDcosta #EdkoFilms #ChinaFilmGroup #TianjinLianruiPicturesCo #DreamSkyPictures #BDIFilms #ShenzenTencentVideoCultureCommunications #HeyiPictures #BeijingUnionPictures #ZhejiangStarRiverArtisteManagementCo #SanLeFilms #ChampionStarPicturesProduction  #Runtime: 91 mins

#Natsamrat(Marathi) Rating: * * * #NanaPatekar assays the lead role of a reputed Shakespearean theatre actor who earns money, fame, respect and much more in his hey day and then loses it all in the ebb. The film is basically an irony about the vagaries of success and the effect it has on the perception of the audience. The film is basically  a cinematic adaptation from V V Shirwadkar (Kusumagraj’s) iconic play by the same name, which in turn was an adaptation of ‘King Lear,’ in which Dr ShreeramLagoo negotiated the lead role. This film’s mainstay are it’s performances the rest is partly ingratiating and partly stagey.  #NanaPatekar  #VikramGokhale #MaheshManjrekar # #MedhaManjrekar #NehaPendse #MrunmayeeDeshpande #AjitParab #SunilBarve #ZeeStudios #FincraftMedia #GajananPictures #GreatMarathaProductions Runtime: 160 mins

#TheDanishGirl(English) Rating: * * * * There’s artistry in every frame, poignancy in every moment and Profoundness in every word. A near-perfect immersive and completely captivating experience. The performances are also entirely riveting. This ‘rare’ thing of beauty is bound to be a joy forever .The visual artistry here is well matched by ace performances and technical smarts.  #TomHooper #EddieRedmayne #AliciaVikander #AmberHeard #SebastianKoch #UniversalPictures #JascintoFernandes #MoesArt #SaurabhRathore #BenWhishaw #MattiasSchoenaerts #EmeraldFennell #JeanneAbraham #VictoriaEmslie #CosimaShaw #AdrianSchiller #OleDupont #RebeccaRoot #MayaLindh #AliciaWoodhouse Runtime: 120 mins

#TheHatefulEight(English) Rating: * * * #QuentinTarantino’s eight feature takes place a few years after the Civil War, in a snowy,Blustery, desolate stretch of Wyoming; the kind of place where trouble is the buzzword. Opportunistically Derivative, Painstakingly old-fashioned in execution and technique, this one is an indulgence that’s less than likely to give you a payoff. It’s typically an impressive spectacle nevertheless  with it’s “road show” presentation in Ultra Panavision 70 mm, segmented and accompanied by a custom-made Sergio Leone score.#TimRoth #DemianBichir #MichaelMadsen #BruceDern #WaltonGoggins #ChanningTatum #HardlyAnonymous #QuentinTarantino #SamuelLJackson #KurtRussell #JenniferJasonLeigh  #PVRPictures #  Runtime: 168 mins

#Joy (English) Rating: * * * ½  An uplifting biopic of a woman’s unheralded effort to create something durable and useful with no ‘mean’ help from her dysfunctional family. #JenniferLawrence gets yet another star vehicle from her Svengali and she’s more than up to the task! #ShrutiSundaram #VijaySingh #FoxStarStudios #BradleyCooper #DonnaMills #JennifferLawrence #RobertDeNiro #DavidORussell  #EdgarRamírez #DianeLadd #VirginiaMadsen #IsabellaRossellini #ElisabethRöhm #LinusSandgren #20thCenturyFox #Fox2000Pictures #AnnapurnaPictures #DavisEntertainmentCo #10by10EntertainmentProduction #JohnDavis #KenMok #MeganEllison #JonathanGordon #AnnieMumolo Runtime: 124 mins

#Airlift(Hindi) Rating: * * * Fairly de rigueur  for a mainstream star vehicle.Has some touching and engaging moments but largely a cop-out of sorts because of it’s lead casting and playing around with the truth thereof.  #HypePR #NilouferQuereshi #AkshayKumar #NeerajPandey #NimratKaur #TSeriesFilms #BhushanKumar #DivyaKhoslaKumar #KrishanKumar #NikhilAdvani #RajaKrishnaMenon #ArunaBhatia #MonishaAdvani #MadhuGBhojwani #VikramMalhotra #AjayKapoor #ShivajiDasgupta #PrateekEntertainment #Abundantia #HariOmBhatia #EmmayEntertainment #CapeOfGoodFilms #FerynaWazheir  Runtime: 125 mins

#BestFilmsReleasedthisWeek29thJan2016 #JohnsonThomas

#Room(English) Rating: * * *1/2 Torturous but also blindingly Illuminating. This Film adapted from #EmmaDonoghue’s novel , encapsulates the fascinating dynamics of a mother-son bond, incubated and forged in captivity and later on slowly disarrayed by the interloping outside world. It’s a situational drama that stuns mainly because of it’s guileless lead performances and atmospheric treatment.   #HardlyAnonymous #LennyAbrahamson #BrieLarson #JacobTremblay #SeanBridgers #JoanAllen # Runtime:118 mins

#SaalaKhadoos(Hindi) Rating: ***  In mainstream cinema it’s attitude that counts and with a moniker implying aggravation you know what you are in for here. And everything is allowed-from violence and brutality to pawing and molestation in the name of coaching covered up indelicately by a heart-of-gold construct that allows the desperately seeking titular hero to paper over his own unacceptable gruff agro by serving up some conscience money to his victims. Of course it’s not played out that way but this is what I got from it. A sort of ‘Chak De’ for women’s boxing RajKumarHiraniFilms #YNotStudios #SudhaKongara #TricolourFilms  Runtime: 110 mins this film has a raw energy and fidgety pace that comes good in the emotional byplay towards the climax. It’s a hard hit but nowhere close to a knock out.  #SpicePR #Madhavan #RitikaSingh #Nasser #UTVMotionPictures #UTVFilms #UTVFilms #RajKumarHiraniFilms #YNotStudios #SudhaKongara #TricolourFilms  Runtime: 110 mins

#TheFinestHours(English/3D) Rating: * * * A true story dramatized in the genteel Disney tradition, this one has some really good ‘heart-in-the-mouth’ moments. Unfortunately they just don’t last long enough nor is there much mystery to it.  #Disney #UTV #SiddharthRoyKapur #MoesArt #ChrisPine #CaseyAffleck #JoshStewart #HollidayGrainger #BenFoster #EricBana #CraigGillespie  Runtime: 117 mins

#GhayalOnceAgain (Hindi) Rating: * * ½ Wounded, but not down and out as yet. Investing more on punches than on credible storyline. A sequel in the truest sense even if it comes 20 years later, this one has the ageing  angry hero Ajay(Sunny) on a weaker wicket. His ‘Satyakam’ aims to be trendy but only looks pointless. Guts and glory action alone does not a story make. And the ‘dhai kilo ka haath’  is not as ‘Bhaari’ as it used to be. Nostalgic trips into the past only make the regret more palpable. Alas! Will there be takers for this?  Well the Sunny fans at the very least( if there are any left)! #UniversalCommunications #ParagDesai #SunnyDeol #VijaytaFilms #SunnySoundsPLtd #Dharmendra #SunielSSaini #RelianceEntertainment #PVRPictures  #OmPuri #ShivamPatil #AanchalMunjal #RishabhArora #NadiraBabbar #TiscaChopra #SohaAliKhan #ShaktimaanTalwar  #SagarPandya Runtime: 127 mins

#Trumbo(English) Rating: * * *1/2 Enthralling drama. The Hollywood blacklist way back in the 1940’s is a part of cinema history that most of us would have been unaware of . While the politics of it might be hazy, the emotional aspects of the story are quite crusty. The film, a period representation, is a reasonably tense drama of those trying times and is quite inspirational in it’s rendering of it. #HardlyAnonymous #PVRPictures #BleeckerStreet #ShivHansPictures #GroundswellProduction #MichaelLondon #JaniceWilliams #ShivaniRawat #MonicaLevinson #NimittMankad #JohnMcNamara #KevinKellyBrown #BryanCranston #DianeLane #HelenMirren #LouisCK.#ElleFanning #JohnGoodman #MichaelStuhlbarg #AlanTudyk #DavidJamesElliott #JayRoach Runtime: 124 mins

#Deadpool(English) Rating: * * *1/2 lightweight but supremely entertaining franchise opener. A super ‘anti-hero’ origin story that’s likely to take FoxStar studios and the Marvel universe laughing all the way to the bank. #RyanReynolds proves beyond doubt that he is to the ‘Deadpool’ role, born.  #RyanReynolds #MorenaBaccarin #EdSkrein #GinaCarano #TJMiller  #BriannaHildebrand #TimMiller #RhettReese #PaulWernick #KaranSoni #20thCenturyFox #MarvelStudios #FoxstarStudios #ShrutiSundaram #VijaySingh #HemanshuMistry Runtime: 110 mins

#Fitoor(Hindi) Rating: * * ½ Ravishing but confused. Love’s labour..lost. It’s the love of Kashmir that drives the film ..not the love story in it. ‘Great Expectations’ belied. Viscerally amazing but hollow on the inside. #AnayChaudhary’s delectable camerawork captures Kashmir in all it’s glory.   #GuyInTheSkyFilms #AbhishekKapoor #SiddharthRoyKapur #UTVMotionPictures #SujataDugar #UTVFilms #ZeeMusic #Disney #KatrinaKaif #AdityaRoyKapur #AkshayOberoi #AditiRaoHydari #Tabu #RahulBhatt #TalatAziz #AjayDevgn #LaraDutta #SpicePR #DeepaBhatia #AnayChaudhary  #SupratikSen  Runtime: 131 mins

#Loveshhuda(Hindi) Rating: * * * This ‘#ChasingLiberty’ rip-off is quite endearing with it’s keenly  measured mix of confused romance, pumped-up music and validating drama.

#Rape (Hinglish/ShortFilm/10mins) Rating: * * * Raising the bar on dialogue driven campaign for effective justice. #Percept –ive and constantly searching for new ideas, the flamboyant, one-time 12^th most powerful man in Bollywood, #ShailendraSingh uses emergent new media to spring a surprise. Directed& produced by the maverick entrepreneur himself, this short , a part of his new-fangled #NoSexPlease series under the #LongStoryShortFilms banner, meant for #Youtube #CultureMachine consumption, premiered today, hopes to rouse a discussion on the problematic legislation regarding ‘RAPE’ that puts all men under risk!

#DirectIshq (Hindi) Rating: * * ½ It’s an attitude wearing love saga set in Varanasi/Benares, that strikes a nice balance between light-hearted drama &entertainment through it’s veneration of the anti-hero who comes good in the end. The not-so-regular music beats and above board performances from #RajneeshDuggal #RajeshShringarpure & the Dadi make it quite a pleasant experience. #RajnieshDuggall #NidhiSubbaiah #RajeshShringarpure #ArjunBijlani  #DwaparPromoters #HimanshuJhunjhunwala #AMTuraz #BobbyKhan #ArunBehll #Hemant Pandey #SanojDube #RajkumarKanojia #PadamSingh #PradeepKSharma #RajeevSRuia Runtime: 130 mins
