Dishoom is a 2016 Indian hindi-language buddy cop action comedy. Kabir and Junaid, two policemen at odds with each other, embark on a mission to the Middle East to rescue Viraj, a leading cricketer who has been kidnapped. Slapstick but good fun describes the film. The combo of the 3 actors make for a good time pass watch. The film is clearly aiming for laughs, and even when it gets lost along the way, blindsided by some unnecessarily elaborate action moment or by a bicepped un-actor, it still provides a fair bit of corny fun. Dishoom received a mixed bag of reviews from critics.

War is a 2019 Hindi-language action thriller, and follows an Indian soldier assigned to eliminate his former mentor and he must keep his wits about him if he is to be successful in his mission. When the two men collide, it results in a barrage of battles and bullets. The film received mostly positive reviews from critics, with praise for the performances of Roshan and Shroff and the action sequence, but criticism for its predictable storyline. For those that will buy a ticket simply to gawk at the collective handsomeness of its leading men, War gives you your money’s worth. It’s an interesting premise, but the director, who has also co-written the film’s story and screenplay, seems ill-equipped to build on it. Much of the movie plays out like a cat-and-mouse chase across slick foreign locations.

Director : Abhishek Chaubey

Udta Punjab is a 2016 Indian black comedy crime film. It is loosely based on and revolves around the drug abuse by the youth population in the Indian state of Punjab and the various conspiracies surrounding it. Chaubey uses a part-documentary-part-mainstream approach here. Post interval, the film is sometimes too indulgent and sluggish. Also this is not your sunny-side up cinema. It is stark and makes you cringe. However, its victory lies in making you empathise with its characters. As Alia and Shahid, both victims of drug and physical abuse fight their demons and destinies, you shed a silent tear. The impact is such that it will stay with you even when you leave the theatre.

Release date : 3^rd January, 2014

The Wolf of Wall Street is a 2013 American biographical black comedy, based on the life of Jordan Belfort. It recounts Belfort’s perspective on his career as a stockbroker in New York City and how his firm engaged in rampant corruption and fraud on Wall Street, which ultimately led to his downfall. The film received mostly positive reviews from critics, with praise for Scorsese’s direction, the comedic performance of DiCaprio and the fast-paced and consistent humour. It has also been criticized by many as glorifying the infamous individuals and immoral behaviours portrayed in the film. It is one of the most amusing and appalling films around. This Wolf makes you wince, think, laugh – and growl.

The Man Who Knew Infinity is a 2015 British biographical drama film about the Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, based on the 1991 book of the same name by Robert Kanigel. The film is inspired by a real-life mathematician who, after growing up poor in Madras, India, earns admittance to Cambridge University during World War I, where he becomes a pioneer in mathematical theories with the guidance of his professor G. H. Hardy. It is a well-made yet predictable tale of inspiration, which has received a mixed bag of reviews. Do not enter the theatre with very high expectations and you would find the film a decent watch.

Uri: The Surgical Strike is a 2019 Indian Hindi-language military action film, which is based on the September 2016 retaliation surgical strikes carried out by the Indian Army in response to the terror attacks at Uri, the army base camp in Kashmir. Vicky Kaushal plays the role of a dedicated soldier, Vihaan, who is known for his meticulous strategizing and planning in missions. Although a fitting tribute to the Indian Army conceptually, but cinematically, it’s not a film without flaws. It is a decent film for most parts. The first half is far more gripping than the second. Post intermission, the makers themselves seem over-excited, to the point of losing control of the narrative. The line between what’s believable and what’s actually not, becomes blurred.It is a painstakingly directed, brilliantly acted and diligently researched action film which won four National Film Awards, including Best Direction and Best Actor.
