Wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for it to come on TV/online
Quick review: Confused lovers in films bore me. I can’t empathise with them any longer. Despite that, the performances took me through, they are that good.
Wogma rating: This movie is not rated by wogma.
Quick review: How does one evaluate a movie on lives where obvious racism feels like a secondary issue? Fragmented narrative feels trivial. At the risk of giving the movie away, what happens to lives that never get better? What do you call it? Human-degradation tourism? Thankfully hopeful? Unrealistically optimistic? Or are these phrases a viewer’s way of shirking reality because we find it uncomfortable to watch? How can you discuss performances and stories that wrench your gut, chill your spine?
Cannot review. Cannot tell you whether you should watch the film or not.

Quick review: Even if not a "must watch", Paltan can be watched for some of its moments. Be warned though, it does drag and get repetitive.
Wogma rating: The keen must watch on screen; else TV/online

Wogma rating: The keen must watch on screen; else TV/online
Quick review: The comedy and social take work, even while the horror and romance are just about ok as a side. Put together though the genre mix gives the film a unique flavour making the smartly written script quite enjoyable.
Wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for it to come on TV/online
Quick review: A few good laughs but downs the rest with slapstick humor.
Wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for it to come on TV/online
Quick review: Playing the “independence + partition” card with all its strength but ineffectively, there isn’t anything else too novel about the film.

A counterpoint to Meeta's review of Aiyaary and a comparison with the other film that released on the same day The Shape of Water.
This piece is fanboy material by design - it is for the most part about the influence of his - the Joharian school of cinema - on me, as someone who grew up in the late nineties as also on our popular mainstream culture - something that our man isn't credited for often and not nearly enough with.
No fanfare, no bells and whistles. Just plain happy to be 10.
