Wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for it to come on TV/online
Quick review: A spoof that doesn’t rely on slapstick comedy! Yet, doesn’t engage with the details. Sincere and believable performances, an interesting basic plot, and a few quips are the big-picture plusses.
Wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for it to come on TV/online
Quick review: Quick-fix, unnuanced writing skims over some social issues preachily. Tries hard to have its heart in the right place. Loses out on a relatively fresh and charming take that had the potential to appeal to the urban conscience.
Wogma rating: The keen must watch on screen; else TV/online
Quick review: A compelling story, even if the plot is far-fetched, is executed reasonably well to give us closure after Drishyam. If you have seen the original, though, you will find enough to complain about while appreciating some deviations.
Wogma rating: The keen must watch on screen; else TV/online
Quick review: Froth-free, gloss-free, relatively dogma-free unlike any Sooraj Barjatya film. Disperses ‘gyaan’ like any of them though; even if it’s surprisingly progressive while doing so.
Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: Most attempts at humour are scarily unfunny. No attempts at horror, so no fun there either. And yet the same concept with another story might be worth a try.
Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: Maybe, just maybe, the premise is okay. The details, though, are either convenient, patronising or both. And the execution is tacky, slapsticky and cringe-inducing.
Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: Amusing that a film with such a strong agenda cares about proving the “scientific-ness” of its claim. Why even bother? Otherwise, interesting premise with yadi-yada dialogue, performances, special effects, music, etc.
