Hollywood Rewind | Roman Holiday is the kind of romantic drama that ages like fine wine
February 23, 2019 08:04 IST
It's hard to categorise this black-and-white piece of beauty, but film critics and audience have boxed it as a rom-com, which I don't think it is. Sure it has its share of comic elements, but Roman Holiday doesn't have a predictable ending, which defeats the entire purpose of a romantic comedy.

February 12, 2019 18:45 IST
Zoya Akhtar's directorial debut Luck By Chance had released in 2009, and it tanked at the box office at the time primarily because it was ahead of its time. We rarely have a realistic, entertaining film about a film industry, and when we do, it is, unfortunately, ignored.

Sure, the performances helped the film's case but it was Stiller, Justin Theroux and Etan Cohen's hilarious and witty screenplay which did the trick.

January 21, 2019 15:23 IST
Total Dhamaal trailer: In an era when Bollywood is being hailed for producing content-driven films, Total Dhamaal will probably stand out for wasting talented actors, money and energy on something that doesn't even look like one of those 'brainless comedies' which you can laugh at.

Udne Do review: More PSA than short film
December 18, 2018 20:04 IST
The film did raise some pertinent points about sexual abuse and child sexual abuse in particular. But it was too in-your-face preachy about the whole affair. That said, Udne Do, from a cinematic point of view, is an average film, but as a PSA, it works effectively.
