If you want to punish someone then recommend them to watch this!
Oh God! What a terrible terrible movie!
And just so you know I fell asleep in the midst....
Ha ha ha
It WAS that terrible.
The story premise is good enough. A writer - director gets a writers block and his protagonists are then frozen in time until the writer unfreezes!
But the director got it so horribly wrong....
And the he had the cheek to end it all by saying a film by Vikramjit Singh ....
Gosh if I had made something so terrible I never ever would put my name to it...
2 such bad movies in 2 weeks...
Bollywood you are descending into the realm of grandiose ideas with utterly flawed execution...
To be experimental is just peachy. Look how well Queen and Lunchbox worked. As did Haider. 
But if you can't follow through then please don't put out a product with big name stars and inveigle poor unsuspecting souls like us to come to the theatres and waste our time and money.
Ranbir said in an interview that he isn't promoting the film as he had a small role, but truth be told he probably didn't want anything further to do with this misery of a movie. Seriously he needs to think hard about his career. From Besharam to this.... its like going from the frying pan into the fire. And if Bombay Velvet too is as pathetic then he will have to do something extra special to claw his way back. And the truth is that in this movie he actually has a decent sized role. But all that he does is carry the same expression throughout and it doesn't help that 90% of his face is covered with hair.
What a waste...
Arjun Rampal broods and scowls his way through the movie and Jacqueline is maxed out playing a double role! This lady can barely manage one role per movie so imagine getting her to do a double role. Really? I mean what were you thinking?
The cinematographic tone of the movie is fine but I was too bored to enjoy that and the songs came and went leaving no delible mark!
All in all avoid unless you have masochistic tendencies!

Monica, O My Darling

Straight off the bat, let me tell you that I went into this movie cold. I just saw the trailer and put it on my watch list. I was totally enamored with the cast and the premise. I knew I was going to watch this one, so I didn't delve into the promotional shenanigans.  So if you are of the same bent of mind, stop reading and start watching.  And on your behalf, I did Google Ankola, it is a town in Karnataka and is not to be confused with Akola in Maharashtra. Ha ! Ha! Netflix has been delighting us with gems like Raat Akeli thi, Haseen dilruba and Bulbul. Add this one to that list and think Gehraiyaan. I need not stress on the proficient star cast. They are masters of their craft. Starting with the sneaky Rajkummar Rao, the sultry Huma Quereshi and the wily Radhika Apte, the ensemble includes the creepy Sukant Goel, the beleaguered Zayn Marie and many others. For me Sikandar Kher was a standout. A shoutout to his intensity and his baritone.  The dialogues are spot on and t...

Qala

Anvita Dutt, is a master story teller. And she, tells this one well too. She and Kanika Dillon have a knack of painting their leading ladies in shades of grey. Whilst Kanika brings in the whacky and the wild, Anvita brings in the angst. It makes for great entertainment.  This movie seeps in slowly and is for those of you who like the slow burn. There is drama and angst and tragedy and it leaves you wondering, what did I just watch? Was this a movie or sheer art? And it is a movie that stays with you for a bit.  The visuals are stunning, particularly those of the boat on the water. The noir-ish feel of the movie fits the mood perfectly. One does know what has happened and why, but the visuals and the artistry keep you in thrall. This is the story of a woman, who learns to be competitive in her mother's womb itself. Her quest for survival began in the womb itself. She then spends all her childhood and teen years having only her mother and constantly craving her validation. Is ...

Shades of Grey

For a very long time I have held a rigid view about what is right and what is wrong. And never have I ever allowed myself to be deviated from what I thought was correct and incorrect. I am not saying that I always did the right thing, but yes even when I was doing the wrong thing I did know that i was wrong. No one had to hold up the metaphorical mirror and tell me that I was wrong. I knew it all on my own. So veering between being an absolute Gandhian and a naughty imp, I had more or less kept my moral compass due north. In fact I was quick to judge people on their actions, without trying to place myself in their shoes and walk a few miles, to see what the impediments were. I was always pretty  smug about knowing what was white and what was black. But as they say, its only when we experience something do we truly realize what it was to have stood in someone's shoes and made a decision which felt totally right at that time. Would you condemn a hungry urchin for stealing food? ...
