Wogma rating: Catch on TV/online for sure
Quick review: Two years worth of “eureka” moments fit into two hours make the film cute and as engaging as a well-made, animated film. Whether that was the makers’ intention, I know not.
Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: Accomplished police officers have to defend themselves against allegations of fake encounters–the topic as a central theme for a film is relatively fresh. However, the story doesn’t budge ahead until the last 20 minutes and thus is sadly a tiring bore.
Wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for it to come on TV/online
Quick review: Jabariya Jodi is not as much a romantic comedy as it is the story of a boy trying to come out of his father’s unsavoury shadow. But the need for a rom-com climax ruins whatever little it had tried to gain in the first two hours.
Wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for it to come on TV/online
Quick review: A public service announcement on sex education and the taboo associated with it. Wish the writing was like its heart–in the right place.
Wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for it to come on TV/online
Quick review: The quirks are well placed and done well too. The basic plot though tries to make us believe it is complex and its characters have complexities, but that’s only skin deep. Ultimately then, the film feels like an experiment that doesn’t land too well.
Wogma rating: Catch on TV/online for sure
Quick review: Were it not based on real-life, Super 30’s story would have been scoffed upon and the movie soon forgotten. Even with the “based on a true story” stamp and despite some decent insights, performances, and dialogue, it borderlines on simplistic and forgettable.
Wogma rating: Watch for sure, preferably in theatre
Quick review: Of course, it supports an ideology, has an agenda and is prejudiced. The real question is, would we be surprised if we read a page-7 headline of such an incident? Would we be shocked if we knew for sure it really happened? No, right? Exactly why such films need to be made.

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.
