DULL

Weak writing, lethargic pace and bloated runtime mar the overall impact. Irrfan Khan, Deepak Dobriyal and Radhika Madan are the only plusses here. Overall, Angrezi Medium won't be able to repeat the success of Hindi Medium. ...Read more

RUBBISH

#FinalVerdict The biggest problem with Baaghi 3 is that there’s hardly any storyline in the film. Sajid Nadiadwala's adaptation is lame and it rests on a wafer-thin plot. What could've been an exhilarating thriller, with pulse-pounding moments, ends up being a run of the mill saga, courtesy a...Read more

#FinalVerdict The last few years have proved that ‘small films’(in terms of costing) have big stories to tell.

Furious moviegoers often protest that superior stories are hard to find, yet I don't buy into this perspective. I really feel that we have extraordinary stories to narrate, but we mess up on screenplay writing, ruining a splendid story in the process. That's the issue with Malang as well. An ent...Read more
