3/5
Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019) Rajeev Masand In a very roundabout, over-simplistic way, the film is actually progressive. Thank you for small mercies. Plenty laughs are guaranteed.

Bhai: Vyakti Ki Valli (2019) Pooja Pande Bhai - Vyakti Ki Valli is a delightful film that will make everything outside the theatre hall look dreary and gray once the film is over. If you have even the slightest inkling of who PuLa was, you don't have an option of missing this film.

Independence Day: Resurgence (2016) Pooja Pande Watch it for the VFX and for a few good light-hearted moments that will make the movie more real. Watch this one for the whole 20-years-ago-and-now nostalgia.

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) Pooja Pande ...if you aren't an X-Men fan, watch it for the excellent VFX and for some good laughs. Either way, missing this is a big mistake.

Dilwale (2015) Pooja Pande If you're a Shah Rukh fan, we won't even bother with a reason. But even if you aren't, watch it for the magic the hit jodi (pardon the corny cliché) creates.

Deadpool 2 (2018) Pooja Pande Here's a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, aims at entertaining you, and succeeds. The dialogues are witty, the soundtrack is perfect for the narrative, the editing is crisp and the movie doesn't allow you to check your phone.

Thugs of Hindostan (2018) Pooja Pande This is a film you're allowed to get legit excited about. It's for the first time we see the Aamir-Amitabh combo. It is a good Diwali treat with a lot of fireworks and stunning visuals.

2.5/5
Kedarnath (2018) Rajeev Masand Kedarnath ultimately falls short of living up to its promise, but I was happy to visit its world. The imagery is overwhelming, even if the writing feels labored.

Posted Nov 09, 2018  Edit critic review
Jai Gangaajal (2016) Pooja Pande Majorly, do watch it for Jha, the actor. He has brought out the turmoil of a guy who does what he does but cannot ignore the inner voice of his conscience. All in all, it's a super entertainer for the weekend.

Lady Bird (2017) Pooja Pande The film still manages to be comedic and natural and leaves you with a sense of empathy for Lady Bird, as we all were her age, with our own problems, not very long ago.
Posted Nov 07, 2018  Edit critic review
Collateral Beauty (2016) Pooja Pande The "Christmas spirit" in this one is a little damp and flat.
Posted Nov 07, 2018  Edit critic review

Posted Nov 07, 2018  Edit critic review
Arrival (2016) Pooja Pande While the VFX are very well done, they are just what the story needs and nothing over the top, not unlike the movie itself. The narrative is non-linear and intriguing but smooth.
Posted Nov 07, 2018  Edit critic review

Posted Nov 07, 2018  Edit critic review
Raees (2017) Pooja Pande The movie is an unabashed commercial entertainer. You go in for the awesomesauce Raees-Majmudar war, which is full of decadent Bollywood masala. If you are into that kinda thing, you will regret missing this one.
Posted Nov 07, 2018  Edit critic review
The Big Sick (2017) Pooja Pande It has a strong script that delivers the promised comedy, a rare phenomenon. The characters are relatable and refreshingly unfilmy. Kumail comes through as a writer, as an actor and as a comedian.

Posted Nov 07, 2018  Edit critic review
