Dangerous Ishq - Review

[Poster for Dangerous Ishq with Karisma Kapoor, Rajneesh Duggal, Vikram Bhatt]
wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do (?)
quick review: Dangerous Ishhq reminded me of a Jitendra film from the 70s-80s (have been wrecking my brain to remember the title of the film, but it just won't come, maybe there were more than one.) in which there were all kinds of curses and counter-curses. But at the very least it had a mythological background. Dangerous Ishhq exasperates you with the witchery while trying to keep the setting modern. Just doesn't gel. Read more...

Ishaqzaade - Review

[Poster for Ishaqzaade with Arjun Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra, Habib Faisal]
wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD (?) - That too only for the actors and treatment, don't expect anything from the story
quick review: A love story we've gotten too used to over the decades to be interesting despite fresh performances and a slick, rustic treatment. Read more...

Dark Shadows - Review

A wogma guest review by Swetha Ramakrishnan
[Poster for Dark Shadows with Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer]
wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD (?)
quick review: Okay I’ll admit Dark Shadows is better than the soapy Twilight series – both Johnny Depp and Eva Green give you enough to laugh once in a while. But if you’ve been following the Burton-Depp franchise since Edward Scissorhands in 1990, you will find yourself disappointed with this complacent effort of a film. Read more...

Ajintha - Review

A wogma guest review by Pradeep Menon
[Poster for Ajintha with Sonalee Kulkarni, Philip Scott Wallace, Nitin Desai]
wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD (?)
quick review: Inspite of some technical merit, Nitin Desai’s directorial debut, Ajintha, offers very little to the viewer as a film, due to some weak writing and direction. The only possible reason to watch it could be its sporadically grand production design, which itself is honestly not a strong enough reason. Avoiding Ajintha will be no loss at all. Read more...

Grandmaster - Review

A wogma guest review by Pradeep Menon
[Poster for Grandmaster with B Unnikrishnan, Mohanlal, Priyamani, Siddique]
wogma rating: Watch for sure, preferably in theatre (?) - It’ll make for a good TV/DVD watch as well, but true thrills are best enjoyed in the theatre
quick review: Smart for the most part, Grandmaster holds some genuine thrills because of a nicely paced script and an effortless performance from Mohanlal, one that packs a wallop just when it needs to. In spite of some weak character performances, Grandmaster manages to engage you throughout. Read more...

Hugo - Review

A wogma guest review by Pradeep Menon
[Poster for Hugo with Martin Scorsese, Ben Kingsley, Asa Butterfield]
wogma rating: Must see - on the big screen (?) - Anywhere else will just be gross injustice, not to mention the experience that you’ll miss.
quick review: It had to be a film that is as diametrically opposite to, say, Taxi Driver or Goodfellas, to show the world just what cinema means to Martin Scorsese. This love letter to the movies from one of the legends of our time is nothing short of a wondrous watch on the big screen. If the recreation of some of the most iconic moments in the history of cinema is not good enough for you, then the visually thrilling 3D experience definitely will be. Only one thing needs to be said – Please watch Hugo on the big screen. Read more...

Review - Jumbo: not bad but not new either

[Poster for Jumbo with Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta]
wogma rating: Catch on DVD for sure (?)
quick review: With a dearth of good Hindi movies in this genre, this one might as well be what kids deserve this holiday! Read more...

Safe - Review

A wogma guest review by Swetha Ramakrishnan
[Poster for Safe with Boaz Yakin, Jason Statham, Catherine Chan]
wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for DVD (?)
quick review: Safe is all about prolonged fight sequences – something Jason Statham excels in. For this motive alone, you might consider watching the film. But don’t expect too much of a story or any sort of emotional connect to the film. You’d be better off watching the film on TV when you aren’t expecting anything. Read more...

Jannat 2 - Review

[Poster for Jannat 2 with Emraan Hashmi, Randeep Hooda, Esha Gupta, Kunal Deshmukh]
wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do (?)
quick review: While Jannat 2's lead character, Sony Dilli has a decent conflict, the film isn't worth watching because of the dull manner it is narrated in. In many ways, Jannat 2 feels like a film that could've been a film worth watching once if it had a little better of everything, especially better actors to play the side characters and the villain.

Kaksparsh - Review

A wogma guest review by Pradeep Menon
[Poster for Kaksparsh with Mahesh Manjrekar, Sachin Khedekar, Priya Bapat]
wogma rating: Watch for sure, preferably in theatre (?) - If not, then definitely watch it when it comes on TV/DVD.
quick review: A lot of people may not find Kaksparsh the easiest film to watch, but Mahesh Manjrekar deserves a pat on his back just for the story that he has chosen to tell. A tale of love that transcends what is considered acceptable by society even today, this period piece is a credible film and a feather in Mahesh Manjrekar’s cap. Read more...
