- DirectorVishal BhardwajStarsShahid KapoorTabuShraddha KapoorA young man returns to Kashmir after his father's disappearance to confront his uncle, whom he suspects of playing a role in his father's fate.Vishal Bharadwaj's final film on Shakespeare's trilogy ends on an epic note. Filled with brilliant,and I mean brilliant,performance,stunning visuals,poetic writing,memorable scenes(Lal chowk, all scenes of Tabu and Shahid and climax),music and direction, this film makes a must watch.Thank you Vishal sir for adapting 'Hamlet' and 'To be or not to be' in a very smart way. Shahid and Tabu......I have no words for you performance.
My Rating:- 5/5 - DirectorAnurag KashyapStarsRahul BhatRonit RoyTejaswini KolhapureThe case of a missing girl takes us through a journey of human greed and brushes upon the egos and repressed emotions of the characters.For me this year ended on a very good note and thanks to Anurag Kashyap for that. Ugly is a one of his best work till date. Strong on its story line, this film keep us seized and end on a very shocking note which leaves a strong message. The actors don't act but instead live their characters. Kashyap's movies scores good in technical part and in Ugly, the writing, camerawork, editing,sound and background score grabs our attention constantly.
My Rating:- 4.75/5 - DirectorImtiaz AliStarsAlia BhattRandeep HoodaDurgesh KumarRight before her wedding, a young woman finds herself abducted and held for ransom. As the initial days pass, she begins to develop a strange bond with her kidnapper.This man gets better and better with his each successive film. Who would have imagined that "Alia Bhatt", one film old(that too not so good),would play such a complex character so easily and effectively that people would shed their tears. Imtiaz Ali must have....which results to his best work till date. This film talk about the journey of these two characters, who carry their scars of past,and discover themselves and each other. I felt like,I, was travelling with them, experiencing the beautiful visual and in parallel the soothing music going on and on. Extremely strong in direction, performances,immortal music,visual,sound and editing, this film stays with you for a longer time....
My Rating:- 4.5/5 - DirectorVikas BahlStarsKangana RanautRajkummar RaoLisa HaydonA Delhi girl from a traditional family sets out on a solo honeymoon after her marriage gets cancelled.Make way here comes the Queen. You can't hate her, you can't comment or criticize her, you can't find mistakes in her, you just can love her because she's Kangana a.k.a Queen. What can I say about this film, there is a constant smile on my face when I talk or write about this movie. Vikas Bhal's beautiful film on self-discovery wins everybody's heart without a doubt and so does his main character 'Rani'. Memorable scenes, dialouges, direction,music and Kangana makes this film worth a watch
My Rating:- 4.25/5 - DirectorRajat KapoorStarsSanjay MishraSeema PahwaRajat KapoorAfter a distressing incident, a Delhi man vows to believe only what he can see, but his new ideals soon take his life in extreme directions."I would only believe, what I will see.." This is the concept of Rajat Kapoor's film. Using this very interesting concept, Rajat makes a very mature and clean film. Just like 'Rani' from Queen, 'Babuji' from this film wins our heart by his nature and actions. Very rare in hindi cinema, we see a pure and clean film and Ankhon Dehki is one of them. This is a film which is not to be told but to be experienced...
My Rating:- 4/5 - DirectorRajkumar HiraniStarsAamir KhanAnushka SharmaSanjay DuttAn alien on Earth loses the only device he can use to communicate with his spaceship. His innocent nature and child-like questions force the country to evaluate the impact of religious views on people.Everyone in this country gets excited when Rajkumar Hirani's film releases, because he deals with strong subject in a humorous and mature way, which wins hearts of every age group. P.K is also one such movie. A satire on 'God and Godmen', P.K wins your heart in the very first entertaining half.But the film gets dragged a bit in second half, the film making level of Hirani also comes down a little. But it is Aamir Khan, who is the true winner. As the film progresses he not only show that he is very good actor but shows those talents and capabilities which no one would have expected from him. For me its his carrier best performance. You never get bored while watching this movie but somehow I felt that message is conveyed properly but it is not as effective as OMG. But still P.K is a must watch
My rating:-3.5/5 - DirectorAbhishek ChaubeyStarsMadhuri DixitNaseeruddin ShahHuma QureshiTwo lousy crooks find paradise in the seven stages of love.This film is better than it's prequel and also has a strong story line. The chemistry between Madhuri Dixit and Naseerudin Shah is very good.It has very strong performance and good camerawork. The writing part also excels
My rating:-3.5/5 - DirectorVinil MathewStarsSidharth MalhotraParineeti ChopraAdah SharmaNikhil is re-introduced to Meeta nearly ten years after their first meeting. Now, as Nikhil has one week to prove himself worth enough to marry Meeta's sister Karishma, the old acquaintances become quite close to each other.A quriky rom-com movie. This film has a good humor and interesting chemistry between the two leads. Parineeti Chopra shines with her performance and the dialouges of the film makes a special attention. Watch this film for some of it's moments,performance and writing
My Rating-3.25/5 - DirectorHomi AdajaniaStarsDeepika PadukoneArjun KapoorNaseeruddin ShahA man embarks on a road trip to find his lost love.What a cast this film has.....So, when you have such a brilliant cast what do you expect, brilliant performance. But that's it....only the performance stays with you for a longer time, yes but the film has beautiful camera work, some good writing and a good climax for a very simple story line,rest all stands ordinary
My Rating:-3/5 - DirectorAbhishek VarmanStarsArjun KapoorAlia BhattAmrita SinghThis movie chronicles how Chetan met his wife and the difficulties they faced due to their cultural differences.This film makes a good time pass watch.It score well in performance from everyone,except Arjun Kapoor,music and some scenes. The nature of Punjabis and Tamilian are shown very good but the film is a dragged one and the story line is very simple
My Rating:-3/5
