Overall, the movie disappoints but has its moments within the film. Story, dialogues and direction brings down a good performance.

Shaadi Ke Side Effects
(2014)
|
Amodini Sharma
|
When post-watch, the film hasn't entertained, made a point, or even given you a mild, tepid, feel-good buzz, it has failed. Let's chalk this up to a not quite.

The Emperor of the Mughals
(1960)
|
Sujata C J
|
It is a must see, be it as a part of new pop culture or an attempt to revisit youth. Even as we watch the drama of history unfold in color, a bittersweet nostalgia for black and white cinema creeps in, where emotions were simply marked by play of shadows.

Swades
(2004)
|
Vijay Venkataramanan
|
Swades must be seen by every Indian, not to be educated about his or her country's problems, but rather to be reminded about a responsibility to act and make a difference. Patriotism has a new face.
