#PicksAndPiquesSnippetFilmReviews9thSept2016 #JohnsonThomas #BaarBaarDekho(Hindi) Rating: * * A dismal ennervating love story, this one takes time travel to a gimmicky level to arrive at it’s happily ever after. It’s ‘#AboutTime’ our film makers stuck to desi stories for inspiration. The two heartthrobs at the centre of it look good but it’s pretty much facile and uninvigorating for the viewer. No wonder the producers preferred to keep the film away from critics till it’s release day. #NityaMehra #KaranJohar #SpicePR #ErosInternational #DharmaProductions #SriRao #SidharthMalhotra #KatrinaKaif #SayaniGupta #Sarika #TaahaShah #RamKapoor #RajitKapoor #HussinaRaja #FarhanAkhtar #ExcelEntertainment #ZackNizato #reiteshSidhwani #RaviKChandran #NightEdFilms #ZeeMusic Runtime: 141 mins #FreakyAli(Hindi) Rating: * * ‘#HappyGilmore’ and #TinCup’ may have been it’s indirect influencers but this film about a goon-turned-golfing match winner is just not convincing in it’s artifice laden spiel. #NawazuddinSidiiqui may have deserved a starring role after a series of accolade winning performances but this was not it. This is at best a freak show masquerading as an infantile comedy with little to please the audience. The story is ridiculous, the performances are silly and the direction just doesn’t hold you enthralled. #NawazuddinSiddiqui #AmyJackson #SohailKhan #ArbaazKhan #SalmanKhanFilms #ParullGossainPR #AsifBasra #JasArora #SeemaBiswas #NikitinDheer #PareshGanatra #AlamKhan #JackieShroff #SohailKhanProductions Runtime: 120 mins #WrongSideRaju(Gujarati) Rating: * * * A rare gujrati film that plays out sensibly , this one is a thriller of sorts with a heavy duty love story and a knee-jerk twist plaguing it. Nevertheless it has enough smarts to hold your interest. #MikhilMusale #PhantomFilms #AnuragKashyap #AsifBasra #PhantomFilms #VikramadityaMotwane #VikasBahl #PrateekGandhi #KimberlyLouisaMcBeath #KaviShastri #HetalPuniwala #MakrandShukla #CinemanProductions Runtime: 130 mins #Sully(English/Imax) Rating: * * * ½ A potential airplane disaster is averted by a quick thinking Captain courageous. Captain Sullenberger’s quick thinking may have saved 155 lives in the airbus 370 he was piloting from La Guardia , forced to land in the middle of the Hudson river but the Investigators were not about to crown him hero all too easily. A docu-drama of sorts, this is director #ClintEastwood’s most dramatic, paciest and shortest film that is quite an intelligent and revealing entertainer. Can’t figure why #WarnerBrosIndia failed to have a critics preview before it’s release. #ClintEastwood #TomHanks #LauraLinney #AaronEckhart #ToddKomarnicki #ChesleySullenberger #WarnerBrosIndia #WarnerBros #HighestDuty #AnnaGunn #TomStern #ValerieMahaffey #DelphiHarrington #MikeOMalley #JamieSheridan Runtime: 96 mins #EkKahaniJulieKi(Hindi) Rating: * An attempted psycho-thriller with the film industry as it’s back-drop, this one’s too jaded to make for any great tension or thrills. It’s basically yet another disgusting attempt to cash in on the infamous Indrani Mukherjea case. This #RakhiSawant starrer has little to interest the audience other than the starlet’s infamous presence. #AzizZee #RakhiSawant #ChetnaSharma #ChetnaEntertainments #AmitMehra #JimmySharma #SaniyaPannu #AvadhSharma #AakritiNagpal #AdiIrani #RajeshKhera Runtime: 140 mins
