Gali Gali Chor Hai - Review

[Poster for Gali Gali Chor Hai with Akshaye Khanna, Shriya Saran]
wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do (?)
quick review: Common man Vs. corruption that he has brewed. A loud and tacky story with more distractions than the story itself makes a decent idea, with a common man behaving like a common man, ineffective. Read more...

Agneepath - Review

[Poster for Agneepath with Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Sanjay Dutt, Rishi Kapoor, Karan Malhotra]
wogma rating: The keen must watch on screen; else DVD (?)
quick review: And this is how you make a remake! Weed out the unnecessary elements, fill in the blanks, and be ready for the brickbats from those for whom the original is now "cult". For those like me, who are not a part of that sect, it was a pleasure to see the 90s style of narration blend beautifully with contemporary aesthetics and sensibilities to form a pakka entertainer. So, steer clear if you don't like that kind of masala in your films. But, make sure you go for it, if intense drama mixed with song and dance entertains you. And while at it do lend a special applause to makers for resisting the urge to use exotic locales and most importantly, slapstick/lame comedy! Read more...

The Descendants - Review

A wogma guest review by Swetha Ramakrishnan
[Poster for The Descendants with Alexander Payne, George Clooney, Shailene Woodley, Amara Miller, Patricia Hastie]
wogma rating: Must see - on the big screen (?)
quick review: George Clooney in the first 5 minutes of The Descendants says via a voiceover, “I am the backup parent, the understudy”, and immediately you know this is going to be a coming of age film, which is ironical considering the film spans over 10 days. To be able to turn things around convincingly, in a story that encompasses that time frame, is no easy job. The film manages to inculcate in you, the same values that the Rajshri’s have been trying for generations (coupled with a darling of a story). This time around, with The Descendants, Alexandre Payne makes the job seem effortless and manages to tug your heart. Read more...

Good Night Good Morning - Review

A wogma guest review by Swetha Ramakrishnan
[Poster for Good Night Good Morning with Sudhish Kamath, Manu Narayan, Seema Rahmani]
wogma rating: Watch for sure, preferably in theatre (?)
quick review: As I walked out of the theatre Good Night Good Morning reminded me of the idea of a one night stand. For many of us, the idea of a stimulating, soul-searching conversation (or alternatively a frivolous repartee) is as exciting as a one-night stand, and the conversation in the film plays out like a verbal night of pleasure; one that you recall with a sigh every now and then. Watch the film to applaud Kamath’s ability (and co-writer Shilpa Rathnam) to make a well-budgeted, stimulating film. Read more...

J Edgar - Review

A wogma guest review by Swetha Ramakrishnan
[Poster for J Edgar with Clint Eastwood, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Irwin]
wogma rating: Watch for sure, preferably in theatre (?)
quick review: J Edgar has a typical Clint Eastwood theme – a man with his overbearing sense of self – and his political/psychological conflicts. As Hoover, DiCaprio is fascinating and the immensely gripping, well-researched portrayal of this powerful public figure makes J Edgar a must watch. Read more...

Chaalis Chauraasi - Review

[Poster for Chaalis Chauraasi with Naseeruddin Shah, Atul Kulkarni, Kay Kay Menon, Ravi Kishan, Shweta Bharadwaj, Hriday Shetty]
wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD (?)
quick review: A crime-cum-situational comedy that starts out with witty one-liners and some awesome comic timing by the finest of performers fizzles out after the first half hour. A decent basic plot riddled by need for item numbers and long-drawn scenes that make the writers look clueless. Read more...

Ghost - Review

[Poster for Ghost with Shiney Ahuja, Sayali Bhagat, Puja Jatinder Bedi]
wogma rating: Switch channels if it's on cable (?)
quick review: Gore hidden behind special effects. So, no horror. And no comedy either. Tch, what a waste! Read more...

Heartbreaker - Review

A wogma guest review by Swetha Ramakrishnan
[Poster for Heartbreaker with Pascal Chaumeil, Romain Duris, Vanessa Paradis]
wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD (?)
quick review: Just the title Heartbreaker, makes the film predictable. While sometimes that can be annoying, in this film’s case it partly works. Romain Duris, with all his SRK-type charm, is the main reason why. If only the film found a way to incorporate its wittiness through the film. And it’s a pity there were no breath-taking visuals, for a film based largely in Monaco. A backdrop of the French Riveria, would have taken the film to another level. Read more...

Nanban - Review

A wogma guest review by Pradeep Menon
[Poster for Nanban with Shankar, Vijay, Jeeva, Shrikanth, Ileana D'Cruz ]
wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD (?) - or for a dubbed version to play on Star Gold
quick review: Shankar’s 3 Idiots remake, Nanban, is an easy, enjoyable one-time watch for someone who has not seen Rajkumar Hirani’s blockbuster – a largely endearing cast ensures this. However, for those who have seen 3 Idiots, it can prove to be quite cumbersome because it differs in absolutely no way from the original. There is only so much one can take of silly cinema pretending to be seriously funny. Read more...

Arthur Christmas - Review

A wogma guest review by Swetha Ramakrishnan
[Poster for Arthur Christmas with Sarah Smith, Barry Cook, James McAvoy, Hugh Laurie, Bill Nighy, Jim Broadbent]
wogma rating: Watch for sure, preferably in theatre (?)
quick review: Christmas. The season to be jolly; saccharine sweet holiday wishes and clichés floating around like the winter chill. Amidst all of this (had we in India been given the choice of a timely release), when a film comes out debasing and deconstructing the main Christmas tradition (by employing Santa’s klutzy son to save the day) in a funny, charming way you know it’s a holiday (or the first month of the year, for us) well spent.
