A Gentleman (Movie Rating :7.0 /10)

A Gentleman (Movie Rating:7.0 /10)

Spicy 132 minutes. Innovative technique used by the director to portray twins... Opposites, played by the eye candy, SidM. Substantial screen time. 

The story isn't much except for the time-warp technique. Action is stock Bollywood. Miami background screenplay juxtaposed with Mumbai is stark. 

Jaquiline Fernández, smoulders with *legs-of-Betty-grable* sculpted beyond perfection. Battle stations - Charm offensive.

Glimpses of Mission Impossible on a poor grade disappoint... The closure wasn't electric.... Nevertheless it's an interesting watch 

Annabelle Creation (Movie Rating: 3.5/10)

Annabelle Creation (Movie Rating:3.5/10)

Very tight script executed diligently. Smash through 108 minutes without an interval (odd).

Poor conceptualisation and extremely lacklustre screenplay. Sad after what Conjuring was worth. 

Fails to evoke fear through its roughest scenes. Excess of startling effect to supplant fear psychosis fails badly. 

Horror is not even comical,a drag at best. Avoidable at all costs... Go burn calories at the Elliptical instead... 

Atomic Blonde (Movie Rating:7.0/10)

Atomic Blonde (Movie Rating:7.0/10)

Apart from the Lesbian twist 🔀 given to Charlize Theron in this action saga set in Divided Berlin, most of 112 minutes are pure gunfight, veins ripped off, gizzards spilled open and guts wrenched out. 

The plot unfolds via the interrogation room dialogues, so you need to be riveted or you'll miss the plot... Which is rawther simple.

Charlize is blitzkrieg both sides of Berlin Wall, her lesbian amour notwithstanding. The apparent puppeteers, MI and CIA sit back and watch Berlin explode as their Atomic Bomb 💣 Blonde sets off Berlin to achieve Critical Mass... 

Move over BadAsses, She's here. 

Toilet Ek Prem Katha (Movie Rating:6.5/10)

Toilet Ek Prem Katha (Movie Rating:6.5/10)

Love story woven around the Water Closet... On getting the rural mindset out of their archaic closets.

Sana Khan sizzles in a 2 minute role. 

Akshay carries the plot with asymmetric ease portraying a 30s male who colours black a greying moustache, romancing a 20s erudite non-feminazi, Bhumi Pednekar. 

Her movie character is wee bit 'pakau', though she's worth the John.And a pretty lass she is.

The political-ese shows up towards the denouement, though not distasteful. 

A fun movie with lots of rural romantic mornings... Ah yes! The director plays with your mind,  whence the protagonist can't go to the Loo and the urge mounts... Rawther lot of Poo-tential.

Jab Harry Met Sejal (Movie Rating:6.5/10)

Jab Harry Met Sejal (Movie Rating:6.5/10)

143 minutes of a slow moving love story necessitate Aspirin alongwith the ticket. A plot without a plot moving in beautiful locales of Europe make you sit up and take notice of them. SRK and Anoushka, both have mastered the art of hamming. 

Now the positives. It's about love, and it's beautiful. Discovery of his own good inner self and her journey from iron facade to *despacito* for love grows. The chemistry is great mostly, in a few scenes though it wavers. 

Great Expectations of DDLJisms will run aground.

 It's a serious love Kahani.

Nidhhi Agerwal (yes, she spells it this way) is the pyt this Sabbir Khan production. She grows on you as the movie moves. Nothing spectacular, has potential though. Dances well except the heel balance step she looks funny in.

Tiger Shroff, looks every bit Jackie Dada with a chiseled physique. His tribute to MJ is spirited and dextrous. The final dance routine after his injured leg gets stepped upon is electric, watch out you don't miss that. He can't act of course. 

Enter, Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Sets the scene ablaze with humour, love, cheap dancing, action and his signature eyeballing. He steals the thunder, lightening and cloud. Virtuoso performance. 

Watch only if you are a dance enthusiast.
