Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: Heavy dialogue-heavy film. But you knew that from the trailer. Ordinary fight sequences make the film quite the regular action fare. The story isn’t as engaging as the premise might seem.
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.
Wogma rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Quick review: Awkward. Shoddy. Disjointed.
Wogma rating: Watch for sure, preferably in theatre
Quick review: An extremely gripping courtroom drama despite the standard and more or less predictable ups-downs-climax. Helped by rock-solid writing and performances.
Wogma rating: Catch on TV/online for sure
Quick review: If you take the awesome performances for granted, the film feels a tad dull.
Wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for it to come on TV/online
Quick review: A bit too convoluted even if you could try to sympathise with the length that a common man has to go to, to fulfill his dreams.
Wogma rating: Catch on TV/online for sure
Quick review: The usual intrigue is maintained in the story, but so are the performances, style and tone – making it a repetitive film in many ways.
