PERFORMANCES: Vidya Balan owns the film totally, her performance is only next to being flawless. The movie gives Vidya Balan a perfect platform to display an array of her emotions. Be it the caring and concerned mother, the conniving lady or convict, Vidya Balan gets into the skin of her character effortlessly. The fact that she looks ugly and unkempt in most parts of the film did require a hell lot of courage.Arjun impresses as the cop hankering for a promotion and is believable as the husband.Kharaj Mukherjee,Tota Roychowdhury are good in their respective roles.

MUSIC: composed by Clinton Cerejo."Mehram" is good.

Story,climax are very much predictable & it fails to keep a tight grip on proceedings throughout its duration.Camera work is good.Amidst all this, it's the emotional quotient raised by Vidya Balan that forms the crux of the hard hitting film based on a sensitive issue.

Overall,Kahaani 2: Durga Rani Singh is one time watch only.

FORCE 2

FORCE 2 : is a 2016 Indian action thriller film written, and directed by Abhinay Deo which features John Abraham, Sonakshi Sinha, Tahir Raj Bhasin.

PLOT: The film starts off with a series of killings of three vital Indian RAW agents in China. These killings not just shock the Indian RAW wing, but also a send them into tizzy about the crime suspects and their agenda behind these killings. Amidst all this, they also discover that there is a mole (informer/ leak) in the Budapest Embassy, who is leaking all the vital information to the Chinese government, for reasons best known to him only. In order to unearth this mole, the RAW officials assign Kamaljit Kaur aka KK (Sonakshi Sinha) on the job. She is joined by the ‘raw’ and brutal Yashvardhan aka Yash (John Abraham) from the Mumbai police department. Amidst their mission to find the mole, Yash and KK are subjected to a series of uphill tasks, which makes it extremely difficult to unearth the mole. Just when Yash and KK think that they have solved the case, a shocking event happens that shuts down all the possibilities to solve the mystery. What is it that Yash and KK are failing to see and how will they solve this case involving the RAW agents, is what forms the rest of the film.

PERFORMANCES: John Abraham delivers yet another power packed performance in FORCE 2. John’s role in FORCE 2 seems to be totally tailor made for him.Sonakshi Sinha, not just complements John Abraham’s character in FORCE 2, but also walks shoulder-to-shoulder with him. Unlike a typical Bollywood heroine, FORCE 2 sees its Sonakshi Sinha as an extremely strong character.Tahir Raj Bhasin convincingly continues his villainous streak in FORCE 2 as well. Even though he does his job exceedingly well in FORCE 2.

MUSIC: composed by Amaal Mallik,Gourov Roshin & no song is worth mentioning.

The film’s cinematography (Imre Juhasz, Mohana Krishna) is top-notch. On the other hand, the film’s editing (Amitabh Shukla, Sanjay Sharma) is crisp and devoids the film of any dull moment. A special word of mention to the film’s action/ stunt director (Franz Spilhaus) for infusing such a wholesome ‘punch’ in the form of non-stop action, right from the word go. The film’s USP is its breath taking action sequences.

Overall, Force 2 is good to watch movie.

Does Shivaay manage to trace Gaura as well as Olga in the unknown country of Bulgaria, what are the obstacles that he faces while searching Olga and Gaura, what role does Anushka play in Shivaay’s life is what forms the rest of the film.

PERFORMANCES: SHIVAAY marks the return of Ajay Devgn in his action mode. Ajay Devgn excels in the role that is totally tailor made for him. The onscreen relationship that he shares with the child actress Abigail Eames is extremely natural and flawless. While Ajay Devgn carries the entire film on his own, he is very aptly supported by a stellar performer in the form of Abigail Eames, who makes an extremely impressive debut in Bollywood with SHIVAAY. Debutante actresses, Erika Kaar and Sayyeshaa, both do justice to their respective characters.

MUSIC: composed by Mithoon. Only the song 'Darkhaast' is good to listen.

The film’s cinematography by Aseem Bajaj is simply outstanding. Full marks to him for making SHIVAAY look so grand and beautiful, surely making it a big screen experience. The film’s editing (Dharmendra Sharma) is decent. Full marks to the action director and his team for doing a marvellous job.

SHIVAAY is a perfect emotional thriller that scores high on the account of its breathtaking visuals, amazing action and a high octane performance by Ajay Devgn

Overall,Shivaay is very much watchable film.

PERFORMANCES : Ranbir Kapoor excelling in the role that seems to be tailor made for him. Ranbir Kapoor, who happens to be the nucleus of the film.Anushka Sharma, on the other hand, is decent and does her role with extreme conviction. The chemistry between Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma is superlative in the filmAishwarya Rai Bachchan, despite having limited screen time, manages to looks beautiful, classy and very different from all her earlier roles.Aishwarya manages to charm Ranbir’s character and the audiences, exactly the way she is meant to be.

MUSIC: composed by Pritam and all songs are superhit.It manages to give an extraordinary feel to the story.

Everything is going right except the story.

Story of ADHM = Rockstar + Jab We met + Katti Batti + Ek Main Aur Ek Tu.

So,if u have watch all those movies then u will be disappointed.

Overall, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is one time watch for the chemistry between Ranbir-Anushka,looks of Aishwarya & Brilliant music of Pritam.

ZULFIQAR

ZULFIQAR : is a 2016 Indian Bengali language crime drama film directed by Srijit Mukherji starring Prosenjit Chatterjee, Kaushik Sen, Dev, Jisshu Sengupta, Parambrata Chatterjee, Ankush, Nusrat Jahan, Paoli, Rahul, June, Kanchan Mullick .The film is based on adaptation of two of William Shakespeare’s tragedies: Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra.

PLOT: Zulfiqar Ahmed (Prosenjit Chatterjee), who happens to be a Robin Hood like figure and the most prominent member of The Syndicate - a powerful organization which oversees most of the happenings in the heart of the city. Basheer Khan (Kaushik Sen), a member of The Syndicate is a nationalist, a gangster and the best friend of Zulfiqar, who does not support terrorism.Kashinath Kundu (Jisshu Sengupta) is the wily and scheaming guy of The Syndicate, who have an ambition for power.

Now,Zulfiqar's nephew Akhar(Ankush),Tony & Marcuz are on a mission to take revenge.Corrupt police officer Laltu Das(Rahul Banerjee) is also by there side.

Rest of the movie is all about revenge tale.

PERFORMANCES: Prosenjit is good as usual.Jisshu & Kaushik Sen did a fabulous job.Rahul Banerjee is good.Dev is better than his typical tollywoody acting.Ankush is okay.Param & Paoli are total wasted. Nusrat is very hot.

MUSIC: composed by Anupam Roy and its not upto the mark category."Ek Purono Masjide" & "Ami Aajkal Bhalo Achi" are better than the other songs.

The film could have told a good story of brotherhood, hatred, love, friendship, betrayal and rise and fall of the members of Syndicate but somehow, the fake accents, the inclusion of love songs and the melodrama spoils most of the film.

Overall,Zulfiqar is mediocre film & its not in a worth watching category.

M.S. DHONI: THE UNTOLD STORY

M.S. DHONI: THE UNTOLD STORY : is a 2016 Indian biographical sports film written and directed by Neeraj Pandey starring Sushant Singh Rajput Disha Patani, Kiara Advani,Bhumika Chawla,Rajesh Sharma and Anupam Kher. It based on the life of Indian cricketer and the current ODI and T20I captain of the Indian national cricket team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

PLOT: MS Dhoni, who grows up with his passion of playing football. It is during one such match when his sports teacher Mr.Banerjee(Rajesh Sharma) spots his impeccable talent in goalkeeping. On his insistence, an initially reluctant Dhoni, then starts playing cricket. When Dhoni realises that he is only keeping wickets and not getting an opportunity to bat, he ‘creates an opportunity’ and starts smashing the ball in all directions, thus, impressing one and all. Things, then, start gradually moving forward for Dhoni, who, after playing for a handful of government organisations, lands up becoming a TC (Ticket Collector) at Kharagpur station and starts playing for the railways. As days pass, his job tires him physically and mentally, leaving him limited time for cricket practice. When frustration reaches its peak in Dhoni’s mind, he quits his railway job and comes back home, something that extremely annoys his father (Anupam Kher). Amidst all this, when Dhoni gets a call from the selectors to play for India, he does not play well on the ground, despite that being his first ever international match. He however gets insipired on meeting Priyanka (Disha Patani) who boosts up his morale and Dhoni regains his form. Just when life starts blooming for Dhoni, both, professionally and personally, an unexpected tragedy buoys him down miserably. Around this time, Dhoni happens to meet Sakshi (Kiara Advani). What is the calamity that stuns Dhoni, what happens to the blooming romance between Priyanka and Dhoni, what role does Sakshi play in his life and under what circumstances does MS Dhoni lead India to its historic win at the World Cup, is what forms the rest of the film.

PERFORMANCES: Sushant Singh Rajput, who is ‘MS Dhoni personified’ in every frame of the film.There are times when you actually land up feeling that Sushant Singh Rajput has transformed into M.S. Dhoni.All in all, this movie will surely be classified as Sushant Singh Rajput’s career best role. While Disha Patani makes a sparking debut with the film, Kiara Advani is average. Bhumika Chawla is decent and makes a comeback in Bollywood with this film. Veteran Anupam Kher does an exceptional role in the film.

MUSIC: composed by Amaal Mallik, Rochak Kohli.Some tracks like "Kaun Tujhe","Phir Kabhi","Besabriyaan" are good.

The film's screenplay (Neeraj Pandey, Dilip Jha) is extremely well-crafted and inspiring, which keeps the viewers engaged right from the word go. Besides doing complete justice to the life and lifestyle of M.S. Dhoni, the screenplay also helps in successfully mirroring his rise from a small town man to an international star.The film’s cinematographer (Santosh Thundiyil) has done a fine job.

There are many scenes that really touch your heart and stir the emotions.

Overall, MS Dhoni:The Untold Story is a must watch

MIRZYA

MIRZYA: is a 2016 Indian Hindi language epic fantasy romantic thriller film directed by Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra starring Harshvardhan Kapoor,Saiyami Kher,Anuj Choudhry, Om Puri, Art Malik, K. K. Raina, and Anjali Patil.he basic premise of the film is inspired by the Punjabi folklore of Mirza Sahiban

PLOT: Munish(Harshvardhan) and Suchitra(Saiyami) are classmates at Gowardhan High School in Jodhpur.They are inseperable. Mohnish carries Suchi's school bag for her everyday to school and she in turn covers up for him in school.One day Munish uses Suchitra's notebook because he has not done his own homework. When the Master realises that Suchi has not done her homework, he canes her.Munish cannot bear the sight of his classmate getting caned.he same night, Munish sneaks into Suchi's home and steals her father, Art Malik's(a Policeman) gun. Next day he shoots the school teacher who caned Suchi before others get to school.The boy is sent to a juvenile correction facility.When he is inside, Suchitra's father sends her away to London for higher studies. After a short stay at the correction home, Munish escapes.Years later, Suchitra returns to India and is now on the verge of getting engaged to Prince Karan(Anuj). Her father is happy with her new relationship.Incidentally, Munish (who now lives a ‘changed life’ as Adil Mirza) works in the horse stable of Prince Karan and starts teaching horse riding to Suchi. Munish recognizes her but does not reveal his true identity to her till she guesses who he is. The two fall in love again, but things are very different now as compared to their childhood. Does Munish confess his love to Suchi, does Suchi go ahead with her marriage with Prince Karan and does Munish and Suchi gather the courage to stand up against the world to fight for their love, is what forms the rest of the film.

PERFORMANCES: Harshvardhan is total mess.HIs looks,body language,dialogue delivery are poor. He has to work hard on his acting.Saiyami is decent and seems quite comfortable (in front of the camera) as a newcomer.Raj Chaudhary is decent in his part of a Rajasthani Prince. The veteran actor Om Puri, who is seen only in the film’s opening sequence, gradually disappears as the film progresses. He makes his ‘presence felt’ only through his voiceovers.

MUSIC: composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.It seems forced into the film and is not at all impressive.Amongst the entire lot,the only tracks that stand out in the album is the title song (whose repeated playing becomes irritating eventually).

The film boasts of excellent cinematography (Paweł Dyllus). It’s his magical work that makes the film nothing short of a visual delight. He has very enchantingly captured the folklore of Mirza and Sahibaan.

When the promos of MIRZYA were released, it gave the audience a stunning visual experience of a love story set in two different eras. The film, sadly, just does not live upto the expectations that one has from a Rakeysh Mehra film. The film's screenplay (Gulzar) is bizarre, confusing and extremely slow paced, It is really saddening that to see a cinematic genius of Gulzar’s calibre and stature could go so very tremendously wrong with a classic love story. The film’s dialogues (Gulzar) are very average and leave absolutely no impact on the audience.

Overall, Mirzya is a huge disappointment.

RAAZ REBOOT

Does Aditya actually tell Shaina the reason behind the evil spirit attacking her, why is he helping Shaina in an unknown land and does Shaina and how is Rehaan related to all this, is what forms the rest of the film.

PERFORMANCES: Hashmi manages to do total justice to his character and brings in the much needed pace in the narrative.Gaurav Arora delivers a convincing performance in the film. Kriti Kharbanda. Armed with an endearing screen presence and strong performance in the film.

MUSIC: composed by Jeet Gannguly.The songs like "Lo Maan Liya" ,"Raaz Aankhein Teri" & "Yaad Hai Na" are well composedand sung by Arijit Singh.

Story is okay.Script successfully manages to keep the audiences engaged and hooked to the film till the end but the horror sequences are unimpressive & very common.This is the biggest let down of the film.

Overall,Raaz Reboot is one time watch only.

PERFORMANCES: without any doubt,Big B's acting steals the show.He not only acts but also lives the character.It won't be wrong to say that, with PINK, Amitabh Bachchan has not just delivered an immensely memorable performance, but also one of his career best performances.Taapsee Pannu, who manages to 'earn her place under the sun' with her sincere portrayal of Meenal.She is just brilliant.Kirti Kulhari delivers a rock solid performance.Andrea Tariang does a very good job too.Dhritiman Chatterjee is extremely convincing in the role of the judge.

MUSIC: composed by Shantanu Moitra,While the film has absolutely no scope for music its background score (Shantanu Moitra) is extremely haunting and creates the ambience for the film.The song "Kaari Kaari" is absolute perfect for this movie.

The film has some hard hitting dialogues (Ritesh Shah), which elevates the situations and the corresponding elements.Outstanding direction,very good script helped the film to meet the expectation.

Overall,Pink is a must must must watch film.One of best films of 2016.

Right before their wedding day, Diya takes Jai to a plush house that is gifted to them by her rich father (Ram Kapoor). This gift not just hurts the self respect of Jai, but also makes him confess to Diya that he is just not ready for marriage because his main focus is his career. Hearing that, a heartbroken Diya leaves Jai promising never to return back. Post that, a grief-stricken Jai lands up gulping a full bottle of champagne. And when he wakes up next morning, he sees the world and timezone around him totally changed. He sees himself transported into his future which shakes the ground below him completely.

If that wasn't enough, Jai 'lives through' many different crucial stages of his life. What are these situations and how does he manage to time travel and does Jai ever manage to 'solve' the mysteries, is what forms the rest of the film.

PERFORMANCES: Besides looking glamorous,gorgeous,as an actor,this is probably Katrina's best performance.She is very much impressive.On the other hand Siddharth is not up to the mark.He is repeating same expressionless acting.

MUSIC: is composed by Amaal Mallik, Arko, Badshah, Jasleen Royal and Bilal Saeed. The song "Kala Chasma" is awesome foot tapping . "Sau Aasmaan" & "Teri Khair Mangdi" are also good.

Ths film has interesting plot but let down by poor direction & weak script.Besides being confusing, the film's screenplay is totally slow and un-relatable, which makes it extremely difficult to find resonance with the audience.The film's cinematography (Ravi K. Chandran) is excellent. The way in which he has shot the locations are extremely top-notch.

Overall Bar Bar Dekho is a confused film.So it can be ignored.

A FLYING JATT

A FLYING JATT : is a 2016 Bollywood superhero action film co-written and directed by Remo D'Souza starring Tiger Shroff, Jacqueline Fernandez, Amrita Singh, Gaurav Pandey, Nathan Jones, Kay Kay Menon.

PLOT: The film starts off with the introduction of the filthy rich and extremely money-minded Malhotra (Kay Kay Menon) and his expansion plans for his construction company. Amidst his plans of expansion, Mrs. Kartar Singh aka Bebe (Amrita Singh) acts as a barrier as it's her (late) husband's land that Malhotra wants to usurp for his project.Even when Malhotra offers double the value of the land to Bebe, she just does not budge to his offer, as she reasons that Malhotra's companies are the root cause of pollution in the city. That's when Malhotra summons the deadly and towering Rakka (Nathan Jones) so that he could throw Bebe and the other residents out of the 'Kartar Singh Colony', which is also home to an extremely pious and wish fulfilling tree. When Rakka is just about to cut down the tree, opposition comes in the form of Aman (Tiger Shroff), a normal martial arts teacher in a school. Just as when Rakka is about to chop the tree, a certain miracle takes place and, while Aman is blessed with superlative superpowers, Rakka on the other hand, gets the evil powers. Rakka's powers become deadlier whenever he inhales the polluted air.Does the Flying Jatt manage to beat Rakka & save the colony,is what forms the rest of the story.

PERFORMANCES: Tiger Shroff, whose martial skills are in full display in the film. Tiger Shroff, remains sincere and true to his character, even though this film may not qualify as his career best. The role of a man with superpowers needs a robust personality to match and Tiger Shroff scores full marks in this department. Jacqueline Fernandez, on the other hand, does not do anything exceptional, besides looking pretty and providing the glam quotient to the film.Amrita Singh as the typical Punjabi mother delivers a decent performance and is extremely lovable in her character. Kay Kay Menon, on the other hand, does a decent job in the negative role.Nathan Jones does manage to instill fear in the minds of the audiences, which was expected of his character.

MUSIC: composed by Sachin-Jigar."Toota Jo Kabhi Tara" is a good composition.

While the drama in the film's first half is pretty interesting, humorous and gripping, the film's second half loses track, and turns too preachy regarding environment and religion.Even the film's production value and VFX look tacky, which is quite a letdown in a superhero film.

Overall, A Flying Jatt is one time watch for those who like superhero films.

RUSTOM

RUSTOM: is a 2016 Indian crime thriller directed by Tinu Suresh Desai starring Akshay Kumar, Ileana D'Cruz, Arjan Bajwa, Esha Gupta,Pawan Malhotra,Sachin Khedekar.

The film is based on the real life incident of Naval Officer K.M. Nanavati and businessman Prem Ahuja.

PLOT: Rustom Pavri (Akshay Kumar) is an extremely principled naval officer, whose world revolves around his duty and his dearest wife Cynthia Pavri (Ileana D'Cruz). The world around Rustom Pavri shatters completely when he discovers that his wife is having an affair with Vikram (Arjan Bajwa). His anger towards the entire situation triggers him to kill Vikram by shooting him on the spot. Rustom Pavri, then, surrenders himself before the law.

What happens after that, are a series of courtroom drama between Rustom Pavri versus Vikram's sister Preeti (Esha Gupta) and her extremely capable lawyer Laxman Khamgani (Sachin Khedekar).

What is the ultimate verdict of the court? Does Rustom Pavri get convicted for the murder of Vikram? Will Rustom Pavri be able to prove his innocence in the case is what forms the rest of the film.

PERFORMANCES: Akshay Kumar is the backbone of Rustom,delivers such a spotless and flawless performance in this role by staying extremely true to his character. Lending him able support is Ileana D'Cruz as his wife Cynthia Pavri. Despite having limited scope as far as performance is concerned, Ileana D'Cruz holds her own with her restrained performance.Arjan Bajwa is decent as well. Kumud Mishra (in the role of a newspaper editor), Usha Nadkarni (as the servant), Sachin Khedekar (as Public Prosecutor Lakshman Khangani) and Pawan Malhotra (as Inspector Lobo) too have strong parts and keep the movie together.

MUSIC: composed by Arko Pravo Mukherjee, Raghav Sachar, Ankit Tiwari, and Jeet Gannguli.Music is is pretty average. The songs "Tere Sang Yaara","Dekha Hazaro Dafaa" are good.

The storyline becomes slightly predictable as it progresses. Tinu Suresh Desai has done a decent job as a director.

Overall,Rustom can be watched for its story and most importantly Akshay Kumar's performance.

Best dialogue of the film: "Vikram towel sirf paanch rupay mein jo marne ke baad bhi nahi utarta..."

MOHENJO DARO

MOHENJO DARO: is a 2016 Indian epic adventure-romance film written and directed by Ashutosh Gowariker featuring Hrithik Roshan, Pooja Hegde, Kabir Bedi, Arunoday Singh, Suhasini Mulay, Nitish Bharadwaj, Sharad Kelkar.

PLOT: The film starts off with the era of 2016 BC in the North West region, which happens to be the prehistoric India. This gradually leads to the introduction of Sarman (Hrithik Roshan) and his victorious fight with a predator crocodile. While on one hand the villagers felicitate him for the victory, on the other hand, Sarman is adamant to visit the city of Mohenjo Daro, something that his uncle and aunt are not too keen on, for reasons best known (only) to them. One day, after much reluctance, Sarman's uncle and aunt give in to his demands of visiting Mohenjo Daro, but, not without handing him over a 'identity coin'. When Sarman reaches Mohenjo Daro, amongst the many other things, he sees the beautiful 'Sindhu Putri' Chaani (Pooja Hegde), the daughter of a religious pandit (Manish Choudhary). It is here, that Sarman, besides being stunned by the visuals and locations, witnesses the disparity that prevails under the rule of the evil ruler Maham (Kabir Bedi), who had once been earlier exiled from Harappa. In no time, Sarman becomes the people's representative and raises his voice against Maham's atrocities. Amidst all this, the pandit reveals a secret to Sarman that not just shocks Sarman, but also, sweeps him off his feet. What is the much guarded secret that Sarman gets to know, what is his connection with the city of Mohenjo Daro, and does the blooming love between Sarman and Chaani culminate into their unison... is what forms the rest of the story.

PERFORMANCES: As for the performances, the film clearly and rightfully belongs to the extremely versatile Hrithik Roshan who ensures and justifies his role of the unassuming farmer- turned-saviour.Pooja Hegde is average in the film.The veteran actor Kabir Bedi, excels in the role of 'Maham'. What works to his advantage are his good looks and his baritone voice.

MUSIC: composed by A.R.Rahman.The song "Tu Hai" ,"Sarsariya" are good.

A simple and old story has been put in ancient era which doesnt work at all.Film's VFX oscillates between amateurish and average.Screenplay by Ashutosh Gowariker turns out to be a major letdown, thus disappointing the viewers to the core.

Overall, Mohenjo Daro is complete disaster film of year.
