John Abraham and Manoj Bajpayee starrer Satyamev Jayate is the perfect release for Independence Day week. The title itself says a lot! But, having said that, the story of the film is about fighting against corruption, and that too in a commercial way, so a good choice for audience to look upon. Directed by Milap Zaveri, it is produced by Bhushan Kumar and Nikhil Advani.

Film starts with John killing corrupt police officers. Manoj has given the job to find out the killer. Though, public is in full support for the killer as he is just cleaning the garbage from the system. How far the mission will go and what's the motto behind that- are the questions which will be answered in the run time.

Dialogues are the major plus factor of this film. The lines in the conversation between John and Manoj are fantastic. Screenplay and story by Milap Zaveri give you a good amount of entertainment. There are lot's of twists and turns throughout the film. Hence, it is a good commercial movie after a long time.

John has done his job finely. But Parmanu was better for sure. Manoj is good. Newcomer, Aisha Sharma delivers a good performance. Every character has its own identity through his dialogues. And for that, we have to thank Milap for sure.

There are only three songs. Dilbar, Tere Liye and Tajdar-E-Haram are fine and suitable to the script. I must say, Dilbar is a fine remake version of the original. The fight sequence in Tajdar-E-Haram is the best in the entire movie. I heard lods of whistles and shouts during that portion.

On the whole, if you are searching for a commercial cinema which can be worthy to your money as well as gives you a good story then watch Satyameva Jayate. Enjoy the film with whistles and shouts in the hall.

Some films have the ability to keep the standard which the trailer had set. Some can even increase the bar, too. Karwaan is one such movie which definitely takes place in both these category.

Dulquer Salmaan is debuting in Bollywood, along with Mithila Palkar and the legendary actor Irrfan! Director Akarsh Khurana takes us in the ride which teaches us the meaning of life in a very subtle way. No burden, just chill!

'Main Akela Hi Chala Tha Janib-E-Manzil Magar, Log Saath Aate Gaye Aur Kaarwaan Banta Gaya!' This is a couplet by Majrooh Sultanpuri, which is used here on the jeep, on which DQ and Irrfan start their journey of picking up the right body by exchanging the wrong one. The adventures are there to welcome all of us.

Irrfan is such a charismatic actor. How can a person make audience laugh everytime when he's on the screen! I mean, in a minute, if he comes like 4 times, then every 4 times we laugh a lot. This is his last movie before going to America for cancer treatment. So, guys don't miss the chance.

DQ is a superstar in Malyalam Cinema. He plays his character with maturity. No superstar can play this type of role so subtly. The transition which his character takes is awesome. Though, this character is similar to many people whom I know. The complexity of a father and son relationship is never described so gently like this. Every father and son should watch this character to understand the unsaid things about that relationship.

Mithila Palkar plays a character of a girl who reflects the modern girl of the new era. She is as usual fantastic. Her bond with her mother, or even with her maternal grandmother is rare and rich. There are many things which we can take from the film to enhance our day-to-day life. For that, just a watch is needed.

Music is so fresh that I liked all songs. Chhota Sa Fasana by Arijit Singh is soulful. While, Heartquake by Papon is full-on masti song as per what the story needs at that point. The cinematography by Avinash Arun is too good, that too in the greenery of Ooty and Kochi. Many scenes are there in the movie which can be used as a wallpaper or a cover picture for sure.

Akarsh Khurana is a debutant director. And from the very first movie, he gonna make many fans, including me. Written by Bejoy Nambiar, this film is something one can watch it over and over again whenever one is depressed or stressed out. The film has a charging plug which gives you the voltage you required at that time. The dialogues in the prayer are fabulous. The terms of Mom and Dad are explained finely. Although, there are many unique one liners as well. Like my most favorite one is by Irrfan, saying 'Tere Liye To Main Sabzi Bhi Khaa Loon!'

Conversation with foreigners, Shayari sequence at hospital, chatting with an old man with Shehnaai, even usage of Shehnaai in the background at a seriously funny scene, the Rumi Talk, and so on.... These are some scenes which truly touched my heart or my lungs through laughing!

I can't find any minus point. I enjoyed it immensely. Ratings, reviews and collection- all are fantastic. Hence, this is one of the best Hindi Films. Will be watched over and over and over, again!

This film is a court-room drama where a Muslim family has been accused of supporting terrorism when one of the member of that family got shot down by ATS for doing bomb blast in Banaras. Directed by Anubhav Sinha, this film is having over the top casting such as Rishi Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu, Manoj Pahwa, Rajat Kapoor & Ashutosh Rana.

After witnessing the day-to-day drama in real life, this story came out from Anubhav. A boy (Pratiek) is indulging in a criminal activity. Because of that, how his family suffers in their own homeland, is described in the film very subtly.

The film reaches in the top gear when court room scenes start. The prosecutor lawyer (Ashutosh Rana) and defense lawyer (Taapsee) lead the film there after to a very satisfying answer and judgement.

People who believe in humanity will surely like the film. For those who need to witness best court room drama, this is the best choice. For those who want to see great performances, just believe me that after watching it you'll feel like giving all the awards to Taapsee Pannu as well as Ashutosh Rana. These two have given their more than 100%.

Somehow I feel the softness is missing. The factor which can make us believe that this is a real family, not a reel one, is missing, too. But when you see last hearing of the case, you will forget everything.. It is possibly the best climax of any court room drama movie.

On the whole, for over the top performances and a sincere attempt by Anubhav, it is surely a must watch film. Just open up your mindset, and be there with every Indian, without considering its caste. 3.5*.

Another biopic of this year is released this Friday. Based on the life of Former Captain of Indian Men's Hockey Team, Sandeep Singh, who is also known as Flicker Singh, this biographical movie is directed by Shaad Ali.

Film covers events of Sandeep's life that made him the star he is Today. After an accidental gunshot injured him in 2006, he was paralyzed. But once a warrior, always a warrior. So, he bounced back with a bang. And that's why this film is called Soorma, meaning warrior.

Diljit Dosanjh plays the titular role of Sandeep Singh Soorma. Taapasee Pannu is there as his love interest whose influence made him to join hockey in early days. The chemistry between these two is superb. I loved the love song featuring these two. It is indeed this year's best love song!

Diljit Paaji is as usual fantastic. Some character needs simplicity as well as complexity, and Diljit has given perfectly as per the requirement. Taapasee looks adorable and acts fine in her role. Satish Kaushik and his on screen brother are good to see. Kulbhushan Kharbanda is good. Special mention for Vijay Raaz. Whenever he comes on screen, public will laugh and enjoy! He is the true entertainer. Good job by him as Sandeep's coach.

Music by Shankar Ehsan Loy trio and lyrics by Gulzar sahab are again on the right track. After the soulful songs in Raazi, here they are giving us some hardcore Punjabi songs. Ishq Di Baajiyaa is one of the most pure and realistic songs one can ever make. Soorma Anthem is good, too. Pardesiya is very soulful. Singers of this song are contestants of Rising Stars where Diljit and Shankar appear as judges.

I was expecting a lot form Shaad Ali. Thus, I am disappointed with him. Ok Jaanu was a superb movie, but it's not up to that mark. Film lacks in some parts. It is slow paced, so the fault is in the screenplay. However, it can not be in the best biopics ever made. Though, it surely is an one time watch film to know the story of Sandeep Singh.

Film will manage to recover its cost of making. It is not a bad movie, just not a solid one. So, whoever will watch it, will give a thumps up for sure. You will surely love the equation between Diljit and Pannu. Get inspire from the legend! 3.5/5

While I am writing this, it is happening that- with the highest opening collection of this year, Sanju is on the way of becoming another blockbuster by Rajkumar Hirani. Ranbir Kapoor as Sanjay Dutt has done absolutely fantastic job. Thus, this is becoming the highest grosser of his career (till now).

Film should only be taken as a film. This is not an attempt of Hirani to change public and their mindsets toward Sanju and his film career, jail sentence and personal life. It is just a Bollywood flick. And audience is getting it. After 34cr on day one, 38cr on day two, Today it will enter into 100cr club. And believe me, it is worth a watch.

Sanjay Dutt has very limited period of time with his mother. Though the relation between them is shown superbly. Two strongest bonds which we see in the film are father-son and Sanju-Kamli (His friend). It's amazing to see how one can survive in hard situations because of his father and a friend. Film is giving a good message of not to loose good people in life. Also, change your company if it changes you into something which is harmful to you or your family. I will write on and on but leaving it and hoping that you will find more inspirations from Sanju's life story.

Ranbir Kapoor is as usual fantastic. What amazed me this time is, when he entered on screen with a muscular body in the gym. Manisha Koirala is superb in her role as Nargis. Anushka Sharma and Diya Mirza are there as a biographer and Manyata Dutt respectively. They both are fine in their spaces. Jim Sarbh has very small role and he has done accordingly. (No! He's not there as Sallu.) Karishma Tanna as Pinky is okay. Sonam is good here. Boman & Mahesh Manjrekar are entertaining in their special appearances.

Apart from Ranbir, we all are expecting something great from both Paresh Rawal as well as Vicky Kaushal. Paresh as Sunil Dutt has done incredible job. In his interviews, Paresh had said that he was worried about bringing the equal integrity and positiveness which Dutt Saáb had. I think he has done it rightly! In the film, Sanju says that these two are his Gods, and only because of these two, he's alive! I think each person deserves one friend like Kamlesh or a father like Sunil or if possible then both! Vicky is superb! Super entertaining as well as full of emotions. These three (Ranbir, Paresh and Vicky) make the film completely worth a watch. In fact i heard many saying they will go for second time as well.

I have no doubt in music department. Some are saying it has not good songs. But actually, there is just a single complete song which is Kar Har Maidaan Fateh. Which I think suits in the film as well as without the context of the film. Sukhvinder Singh's voice roars in the hall like a Tiger's. Scenes of rehab center have been shot well. Ravi's cinematography is cool. And brilliant in the scenes of Drugs, Bathroom, America, etc. The drug song called Ruby Ruby takes you to another level but for some seconds only. Written by Irshad Kamil and composed by Rahman, it is worth listening to in the earplugs. Main Badhiya is not a song, just an antra is there in the film. Another one featuring Karishma Tanna has also only an antra that too without music. So there is just a single song and it is worthy enough.

My favourite scenes are: Explanations of three good lyricists of Indian Cinema which were like Ustadji to Sunil Dutt; 'Tere jaisa yaar kahan' sequence; Last moment with Nargisji; Untold speech; 'Jaadu ki Jhappi' from Munnabhai MMBS.

Film will collect more than 300cr. People are loving the film. Hirani is a true filmmaker who makes film for everyone. Don't go to judge Sanjay Dutt. Learn to accept what he is. Bacause I am sure, you don't like it when someone judges you! Treat others equally as you treat yourself. This film is not making him hero or something, this is just an unusual story of a man called Sanjay Dutt, happens to be an actor, a public figure.

'Ghee che to Ghapaghap che' and 'Hirani che to Paisa Wasool che!' This emotional journey is not to be missed. Got tears in many scenes. My regards to Sanjay (from a boy who is not his fan) Love you Sanju!

On the occasion of 100 years of Indian Cinema, four Bollywood directors came up with four short stories and combined them as a feature film- Bombay Talkies. It was a fresh move. So, they are coming together once again for another anthology, called Lust Stories.

As the name suggests, this film talks about lust in human beings. Basically, it is a women centric anthology. Because each story has a female protagonist. The stories are in the reverse order of what we'd seen in Bombay Talkies. That means, the order is Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar, Dibakar Banerjee & Karan Johar.

Last time, most significant story was by Anurag according to the title. This time too, he has come up with pitch perfect story according to the given subject, that is lust. Radhika Apte plays a complicated housewife cum professor cum lover. Akash Thosar plays his character fine. It is Radhika's brilliant performance which will leave you awestruck after it gets over.

Zoya's story is unexpected. Because, I had a story written by me last year, and this is exactly the same. Though, I had written longer than it. I am not saying that it is a fraud. But, having same thoughts are common. I am extremely surprised to see this type of story to be made as a film. Hat's off for that. Not much dialogues is the major plus point. Bhoomi's eyes speak all.

Dibakar Banerjee is a mastermind. His story is so simple that one can easily feels that I had seen this type of stories. But the execution is the best. Among four, best director is undoubtedly Dibakar. Manisha Koirala, Jaideep Ahlawat and Sanjay Kapoor have given their best. While watching, you cn not leave that frame and think about the next scene. It is simply a brilliant craft. That last look of Manisha is awesome!

And the last story by Karan Johar is on sexual satisfaction. Kaira Advani and Vicky Kaushal along with Neha Dhupia are there in the most odd (as it's the only comedy sort film among four) film of this Lust Stories. You will laugh out loud when a filmmaker is trying his own old song on a very opposite action. I am damn sure that that part is an idiotic as well as a typical filmy scene that only Karan can do. I am not sure it is suitable here in this anthology or not, but it speaks about an actual problem which a lady suffers. Those who want only entertainment, can directly watch this one. Other intellectuals will find 1st or 3rd as 'The Best'.

Overall, save your money by avoiding stupid Race3. Reviews are out. Everyone is unhappy with it. Instead, wait for Sanju. And if you have Netflix, then make up this weekend with this anthology- Lust Stories. Other links are there as well for download. This will save your money and time, because you can watch it anywhere & anytime! The subject itself is bold, that there are no bold scenes required. So don't watch it for that purpose. It is for selected audience, but you can give it a try. This will give out a great message that lust is a different word than sex. So viewers, sometimes do try different things.

Director Vikramaditya Motwane is back after a well attempted film Trapped which was released last year. The Harshvardhan Kapoor starrer film is under the production house of Phantom. Written and directed by Motwane, this is an action+drama of an Indian Superhero, called Bhavesh Joshi, who fights against wrong.

It is a tale of two friends, who are inspired from a party to getting justice. And ended up making 'Insaaf Duo'. They make videos of people doing wrong things, & then upload them on social media. One of them gets settled with his job. The other one is still doing to save his country and countrymen. One day a case has been come to him about water crisis. How he will solve it, or what this case is bringing to him and his partner, is the story of this film.

Phantom production always brings to us something fresh. This is not a marvel or DC film, where we can see some superhero flying. Here we see a common man fighting for all common men. Water crisis is the biggest crime one can ever do. I mean, here there is no problem of that. But I'm sure this film is surely based on some facts. To understand what this type of crisis is, and how normal people are affected to this, you have to see this film. I am thankful to the makers, for showing this crime on celluloid.

Harshvardhan Kapoor is superb. This film is his true debut film. He is the perfect choice of Sikku in this film. Priyanshu and Ashish give solid support. Shreiyah Sabharwal looks stunning. Nishikant and other badmen deliver good performances.

What I like the most, is background score. Though, there are not any song in the film. Except two in the background. Chavanprash sounds cool to me. Qasam Kha Li is suitable in the flow. But, hat's off for the subtle background score in the entire film. No high, no low, to the mark!

Overall, this film is surely an one time watch. Chase sequences are damn cool. The entire climax portion is superb, too. People, who are watching this film over Veere, are generally boys. They will surely remember Harsh's avtaar for a longer time. 'Hero paida nahi hota, banta hai.' Thumps up for the real life superhero. Go for it.

Directed by Abhishek Sharma, Parmanu is a film based on true incident of nuclear testing in India (1998). Film features John Abraham, Diana Penty, Boman Irani and Anuja Sathe in prominent characters. It speaks about the historical event of India becoming a nuclear state.

First of all, let me tell you frankly that I was not going for this movie till the last night. Somehow I felt that it's going to be a boring film as what will they show about nuclear test! But last night, I read one tweet praising about it. So I made up my mind to take a risk. Believe me, I am extremely satisfied now!

What went through during the test of nuclear, that also with super secrecy from entire world, especially CIA. There is a constant pace that the film continues on with lot's of happening in between. There is a strong emotional factor, too. And above all, the patriotism makes it a worthy watch for every Indian.

John Abraham is at his best. Many will say that this is his best film in the entire career. Also, he is a producer of this film. There were some issues, and because of that the film's future went in danger. But he somehow manages to break all the odds and Today he made it to the theatres as well. Kudos to him for lifting up such a story which the entire nation needs to know.

Diana Penty looks perfect for the role. She acts beautifully and looks charming. Anuja Sathe delivers a solid performance as a wife of John. Boman Irani is excellent. His conversation scenes with John are the best! Supporting cast, especially the Pandavas have done a great job. They keep you engage as well as entertain throughout.

Music by Sachin-Jigar adds an element of Rajasthani touch. Folk tunes and voices are very much relatable to the story and situation. Sapna by Arijit is my favourite from this album.

Location adds thrill to the story. Storms and sands are captured well. The whole setup of plant was developed superb. It is hard to crew for the setup pf 1998 in the current year, but they have done it nicely. Though, the blast could have been shown better. Although, it is nice now. Usage of old footage such as speech by Bajpayee is also good.

Overall, this film should not be missed. You will feel proud for sure. This film is an ode to our engineers and scientists. And that too in a thriller format. John Abraham and Abhishek Sharma deserve applaud for making such a wonderful film. And I wish John will make such films in future as well (like his production house did in the past). So, a must watch story of Pokhran. 4/5.

Marvel is on the roll! After fantastic and super successful Avengers Infinity War, Deadpool is arrived to entertain public. With the solid comic elements, 1st installment of this franchise got fantastic response. And so do we all are expecting with the second edition.

Ryan Raynolds as Deadpool is just become a part of X Men trainee. But, as you all know about his mischievousness, he tries to overdo things (to entertain us!) In the meantime, because of the biggest loss in his life, he changes a lot. Tries different things. But as we all know him, he changes accordingly but with the same behaviour. I am not telling anything about the storyline, because it will become spoiler. It is because of the simple story of this part.

I have seen it in Hindi. As the first one was super cool in Hindi! Also, every superhero films have to be seen in Hindi language, for the extra amount of humour! As we were thrilled to see 1st part and its comic timing because it was natural and unexpected. Here, the problem is there are only punchlines, nothing else! Too much is also harmful for the cinematic experience. I felt that film and characters are speaking constantly non-sense! Hehehe. Yeah, may be because of poor dubbing. Or even unmatchable Ranveer Singh! There are some moments when the whole theatre split apart. But they were very few moments. Even it was stupid that he saying like Ranveer toh India ka best actor hai! Hahaha... He even tries to promote all his films with SLB! Ufff.... Having said that, I would like to say that usage of old Hindi songs in Hollywood films surely make you smile.

Undoubtedly, post credit scene in this part was fantastic. Never seen like this before. I want to write about that part, but have to stop here! Hehe.

Some slow motion scenes were fantabulous. But, if you want my honest review, I am not satisfied with this part. This happens many a times that in a franchise, mostly the least part has been the second one! I will put Deadpool in the same category. May be because I have seen it in Hindi, may be because I have seen the ultimate Avengers Infinity War just in last month, or the biggest reason is- May be because I'd seen the first installment just yesterday! These are the assumptions of mine for not getting the feel of Paisa Wasool! May be I am wrong, or may be not!

Best scene is jumping from the plane with the entire X-Force team. I am eager to see what will they bring to us in the third part after watching the post credit scene here. So, on the whole, it is just a one time watch film for fans. 3/5.

Based on an incredible true story, Raazi is a tribute to unknown heroes of our nation in war time zone. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, who had directed extremely well movie- Talvar in past, this film tells a story about a normal and simple Indian girl, and her journey from being a daughter to a wife and to a spy. One more factor is also there, but am not revealing now because you will get it at the end.

Alia Bhatt plays a character of Sehmat, who is an Indian spy married to a Pakistani military officer (Vicky Kaushal) during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 on the order of her father. Would she get success to pass on information from Pakistan to India without getting caught and to help Indian forces to stop the war or fight back to Pakistan.... For that go and watch Raazi.

It is an adaptation of Harinder Sikka’s novel 'Calling Sehmat'. Screenplay has been written by Meghna and Bhavani Iyer. Dialogues are written by Meghna. Some dialogues are outstanding. 'Watan Ke Aage Kuch Nahi, Khud Bhi Nahi... Mohabbat Bhi Nahi!' One more is there, when one is declaring about his cancer, he says that- 'Smoking To Ki Nahi Kabhi... Magar Shayad Zindagi ke Kash Thode Lambe Le Liye...!' What a line man! Only a daughter of a great poet can write such!

Alia Bhatt has delivered another award winning performance. Till now in this year, she is the deserving one. First time you will see her crying. Especially, in that scene where she is asking his officer about how to balance between life, emotions and duty in war, because it is the toughest one. VIcky Kaushal is as usaul superb. He has less dialogues, but his silences speak more. The gun scene with Alia is the best scene of these two actors. Jaideep Ahlawat has done commendable job. He is always good. But this time he is on another level. Along with Rajit Kapur and Soni Razdan, rest are good, too.

Lyrics by Gulzar Saheb and Music by Shankar Ehsaan Loy. Dilbaro is pure Kashmiri folk song on the perfect situation of marriage saying- 'Mudke Na Dekho Dilbaro!' Raazi title track is engaging. Whenever Arijit's voice starts in the hall, some magic happens everytime in this film. School annual function song by Sunidhi and the same song in Arijit Singh's voice - 'Ae Watan'- is the best song that Gulzar Saheb can give us in this decade. What a melody man! Looks like a classic old hindi film tune. For the film situated in 1971, this is the best patriotic song one can ever make! I am so proud of this song... 'Main Jahan Rahun Jahaan Mein Yaad Rahe Tu, Ae Watan... Mere Watan!'

I knew that this film would be superb. But this song has uplifted it more. But the same time, it's touching the deepest portion of heart. Human is very complicated creature. Human is not a robot. For anyone, it is hard to be a robot. One can try one's best, but one can't delete the function of emotions from the body. Without emotions, there is no living. Salute to those heroes who are living without emotions so that millions of people from their countries can live happily!

If a girl can go to this level for her father and her nation, what can you or I do at current position! The question is unanswered by me. I am still thinking (while writing as well!) The more I think of it, the more I am getting deeper in the thought.

The story of a courageous girl is definitely a Must Watch. You'll feel proud of such unsung heroes of your country. Feel the emotions of them. Feel the tension of espionage. Feel the heat of war. As they say- In the War, nothing is important than War, neither you, nor me!
