102NotOut : An unusual story of father and son- is adopted from the successful Gujarati play by the same name, written and directed by Saumya Joshi. Amitabh Bachchan as 102 years old man and Rishi Kapoor as 75 years old man are in the lead, & the film is directed by Umesh Shukla.

Dattatraya Vakhariya wants to break the record of a Chinese man who lived 118 years. He gives two options to his son Babulal Vakhariya to either leave his home and live in an old age home or to change himself into a happy and delightful person by agreeing to his terms! And the film takes its pace after one by another challenges which are given to Babulal.

It is a blessing to watch both the legends on the same screen! They are back after 27 years! Amitabh Bachchan plays his role brilliantly. And I know, you are bored of reading this line in every film of his! Rishi Kapoor gives one of the best performances of his career. The pair of these two is fabulous. One more actor is there to entertain you- Jimit Trivedi. Every Gujarati movie lover knows him well because of Gujjubhai Movies. He plays a character of Dhiru with great conviction. His wit is quite enough for audiences to laugh out loud. Especially, the scene of him describing Bamboo trees!

Post interval, many scenes are full of emotion. I have seen the play three times. Each time I've enjoyed it a lot. Despite the fact that I knew what's going to happen next, I cried a lot in post interval! And that is unbelievable...! This can only happen if actors are creating some magic. Even I can also say that the script is also well developed, that every time you can feel the emotion. Now, it is clear on my mind that I love cinema more than theatre, so for me Today is the realization day! Thanks to 102 not out. And special thanks to the background music team, for providing suitable environment.

Just two songs are there- Kulfi & Bachche Ki Jaan, which are suitable to the flow. The usage of old Hindi movie songs are fantastic. Zindagi Mere Ghar Aana and Waqt Ne Kiya Haseen Sitam are still fresh. Like it is shown in film, just try these songs on speaker in night to feel the magic. I can give you my guarantee that if you do it once, you'll do it more often.

Umesh K Shukla has done a good job. Pulling of a script based on a play and that too on such a high level is not an easy task. Editing is crisp. Usage of cartoons are commendable. Set design is as per the script. Costumes are well and good. The Happy Street scene at the end is fantastic. I feel that there are some scenes where characters are happy and celebrating, but as an audience, we get tears in eyes. This scene is one of them! I can not explain in words that how was I feeling at the time when Bachchan and Kapoor were dancing in the rain. Uff...

'Aulaad Agar Nalayak Nikale, To Usey Bhool Jana Chahiye... Sirf Unka Bachpan Yaad Rakhna Chahiye!' - There are many well written dialogues in the film by Saumya Joshi. The love letter scene is too good! As well as the church scene. I must say here that Rishi Kapoor has delivered a very strong performance.

Word of mouth will become this Amitabh-Rishi starrer film's main weapon to destroy Thanos and it'll run successfully at Box Office. Gujaratis do watchout this film for its Gujarati elements. You will never regret of giving your 102 minutes to this wonderful movie- 102 not out. So, go for it guys, learn to live life thoroughly... Yo!

Film has Irrfan in the lead and that is fine enough for somebody to decide whether he is going to watch or not! Director Abhinay Deo is back in his favorite genre - Dark Comedy.

Well, comedy is something which one enjoys loudly while seeing it. One laughs out loud or cheers mainly in comic scenes. But here, not a single person in the hall was laughing. Actually, I was the only one who laughed at some points in the film. So, I would not term this film a Dark Comedy, but a Dark Humour.

Film is about Dev (Irrfan) who finds out one night that his wife (Kirti) is cheating on him. Because of EMIs and other interests, he decides to blackmail his wife- Reena's lover for some money. The lover boy (Arunoday Singh) asks for money to his wife Dolly (Divya Dutta). But her parents want the amount back from him. So, Lover Boy also blackmails his lover a.k.a. Dev's wife. Eventually, Dev is giving money to his wife which later he collects from that Lover boy. Meanwhile, colleagues of Dev also come in the picture to make some money. The chain becomes extremely complicated. For unlocking it, watch out this one.

Irrfan is superb. The scene of him running from his house after getting shocked to see his wife with another man is fantastic. Kirti is suitable and good. Arunoday delivers a good performance. Divya Dutta is as usual classy. Omi Vaidya is nice, too. Anuja Sathe plays an important role along with Pradhuman Singh and Gajraj Rao.

After Irrfan, the major plus point of this film is its music and songs. Amit Trivedi has given superb songs. First time I enjoyed all the rap songs in a film. Each and every song is perfect according to the story line. Lyrics has been written accordingly as well. 'Bewafa Beauty Pyaar Mein Cheating Kar Gayi!' Urmila Matondkar is there too in this item song. 'Nindaraan Diyaan' & 'Sataasat' are perfect. Patola and Happy Happy are not in the film, but they're also good.

Abhinay Deo is a good director. Each scene has its own element. First song of the film where Irrfan is all alone in the office and goes to bathroom says it all. The detailing of each posters and usage of props are up to the mark.

Though, this film is not as good as Delhi Belly. It is very slow. If you don't like to see new concepts in films, you will never gonna complete this film. Background score is superb. But still, we feel too much length of many scenes. Good editing or a good screenplay could have put this film in the league of classics. As of now, if you have patience, than only you will love it. Also, post interval part is not that slow as the pre-interval part. The game is happening till the last frame. So if you are giving it a chance, wait for the end. You will surely feel that- 'The time spent well'!

On the whole, pray for Irrfan's speedy recovery. Take your time along with you to enjoy his latest dark humour- Blackmail! 3/5*.

Tiger Shroff is back in his space of action packed masala movie, called Baaghi 2. The first installment of the franchise got success at Box Office. This time, he is back with more action and more aggression.

Film starts with an attack on Neha (Disha). She calls army man Ranveer (Tiger), who was her boyfriend 4 years ago in college. She asks for help to find her daughter who was kidnapped 2 months ago in that attack. Ranveer tries out every possible thing to find Neha's daughter. But he comes up with nothing. There are so many characters to look for in the first half. It is not possible to judge who is right and who is not! The interval point is very crucial. Till then, one can't stop thinking about what has happened! To know more, go to the theater.

Tiger Shroff is born to play these kind of roles. Audience is happy to see him in action flick. This is my first film of his in theater. To be honest, I like him, not as an actor, but as a star. Also, he is the ground level star, who flies in the air to kick somebody! Kudos to him as well as his fitness.

Disha looks pretty. She plays her role safely. Her chemistry is nice with Tiger. I don't know about their real life love story, but this reel love story works in the film. One Punjabi party song is there to entertain the audience, in which both have danced well. The Atif Aslam track is the hit one, and suits in the film. Overall, college romance has been shown nicely.

Randeep Hooda and Manoj Bajpaee are suerb. Especially, Randeep in his beard look. He actually looks like a charsi from Goa. But, let me tell you that he plays the role of ACP. Deepak Dobrial is fine. Prateik looks superb, but acts average. Darshan is good as usual.

Second half is full of action. I loved that shot in which Tiger is running with two machine guns and around 10 men are coming towards him. Helicopter scene is good too. Some comedy has been created in fight sequences. But I also felt that people were getting bored with so much of action. And that too for nothing! Though, I didn't feel like boring at all. It was just, the end fight was much bigger than it actually needed. But, it is a Nadiadwala Movie, we have to wait for the bigger!

The most idiotic or dumb part of this film is the recreation song - Ek Do Teen. It was just too bad. Forget about beats, what the hell was the dance step! Miss Fernandiz looks absolutely boyish! Item girl has to be sexy, but here, we're seeing an item girl with muscles and abs! Also, I have heard that the makers of Tezaab had sued the makers of this film for demolishing their classic number. I am with them, I also want to stop this non sense. For the sake of publicity, no one can touch classics to convert them into torture.

On the whole, for Great Sequences, lot's of Twists in Story, Power Packed Tiger Shroff, Funny Man Randeep Hooda and Atif Aslam's song, I am giving 2.75*/5. One time watch for sure. It will be a hit at B.O. and Tiger will roar again next year in third installment.

Ajay Devgn is back to entertain his fans & this time he is in Raid as an Income-tax officer. Directed by Rajkumar Gupta, this film tells a story of India's longest raid that happened in 1981.

Though, the subject is about a single raid, it is difficult to make a full feature film without loosing audience. Ritesh Shah, writer of this film, has done commandable job. But, it could have been made with more intense drama, more sharp dialogue and more twists and turns. Other than that, I think this film has no other negative point.

Saurabh Shukla is again delivering a power-pack performance. Ileana is sweet and subtle in her tiny role. The old actress who is playing Saurabh Shukla's mother, is the major plus point of this film. Whenever she comes on the screen, it is hard to control your smile. Apart from her, Amit Sial plays an important role to entertain people.

Ajay Devgn has given another good performance. Though, I have to admit that this is not his best. He has many roles which will be remembered by me, but not this one.

There are three songs. Last song by Papon is good. Other two songs by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are not required in the film. But, they don't take much time, so it's fine.

There are two dialogues which I really liked: 'Jo apni zuban ka nahi, Wo insan bhi hai kya!'& 'India ke officers ka nahi, unki Biwiyon ka bahadur hona zaruri hai!'

I went to see some extraordinary film, but it is not at all close. In my screen, where Ajay's fans came too, were not cheering or whistling, and I guess it's because the film lacks in punches. I don't know I am right or wrong, but as compare to Sonu or Padman, this film gives nothing to me (at least).

On the whole, if you are Ajay's fan, then go for it. Anyone can watch it one time. It is not bad. But for me, it is not superb. I would rather see Special 26 again.

Luv Ranjan is famous for his so called realistic movies on youth like Pyar Ka Punchnama 1,2 and AakashVaani. This time he has taken a challenge, to show us the fight between girl vs friend!

Sonu (Kartik Aaryan) is a best friend of Titu (Sunny Singh) since school. He has been protective about his friend all the time. After successfully conducted a breakup by Sonu, Titu plans to get settled and finds out Sweety (Nushrat) for arranged marriage. However, Sonu has instincts that she is not the right girl. I am not reviling much, but from trailer it is clear that, it is a fight between boy's best friend or girl. See the film to find out who's won!

Music is cool. Though, there are few songs which personally I didn't like, but they are suitable in the film's mood. Though, there is a song about friendship, sung by Arijit, is extremely good. Also, the performance in that song makes it more delightful.

Sunny Singh has done his part fine. Nushrat is the girl who always hits the note! Her expressions, especially from smile to arrogance and arrogance to smile, are superb. Supportive cast is good.

There are two men in the film, who can make it watchable for couple of times, and they are- Kartik Aaryan and Alok Nath. No one can think even in dream that Alok Nath can deliver local gaalis. The drinking scenes, the kebab scenes, the conversations between Alok and Kartik- these are the scenes which uplift the film on the level it deserves to be. Hat's off to the casting director for making Alokji 'Ghazeete'. For Kartik, I would say that let's declare this man- Sexiest Youngster in India! Also, no one can pull off this role as he has done. He is going to be the next superstar who can act, and will definitely do for a very long time.

Camerawork is superb. Editing is sharp. Locations are beautiful. The film is colorful as well as grand in the scale. Dialogues are to the point and up to the mark. The war of words have been excellently written for both the characters (Sonu and Sweety). Every punch line has its own value, and people are shouting and cheering and clapping onto those lines. The 'Didi ne kaha' scenes were so funny that I am laughing now while writing about them. There was a group in my hall, which went mad in climax, and started cheering and shouting, as the delivery was superb by actors. I really liked The No Monologue climax, instead just few lines with great conviction. It gives strength to us too, as whatsoever happening there, is in the right mood and on the right track.

So, for showing the absolutely Right way through the film, and for the answer of the question, on which the film has been made, I would like to thank Luv Ranjan. This is by far his best film. And would like to watch this again and again.

Go for it guys. You will put it in your all time favorites. I found no objection in the film. It is sharp, quick, quirky, funny, light hearted, original, to the point, genuine, hilarious, and the best from Luv.

Believe me, I am a Neeraj Pandey fan. I was mesmerized while watching Baby. Even the background score is still there in my mind. I think that was the best of Neeraj. He had given superb as well as good films, too. But, this is also absolutely true that Aiyaary is his worst film ever.

The story is very very very slow. Even it is not understandable. The flow and touch of Pandey is missing. I also feel that Manoj could have done it better. But, what can an actor do when he has nothing to perform! It is a harsh truth, but, this film has no element of film in it. That means, no entertainment, no drama, no thrills, no stunts, no grip, & even just a single song... Which was okay. I am hugely disappointed.

No actors have done superb, except Naseeruddin Shah. He is superb in his tiny role. I like Rakul Preet. Thank God, she was there, as my time passed by just watching her. I like just a single dialogue - 'Aap humari aanewali naslon ko kya degne!'

I know, I can't rate any movie like this. I always look good in everything. But, this film is a disaster. The climax, on which the story is based on, is like 'what! Really?'

It is not like a Neeraj Pandey film at all. I also think the film is not being edited at all! Save yourself, or jump in a dry well! This rating is only for their hard work and Naseer & Rakul's presence.

In dry state Gujarat, film theaters were also facing dryness at the box office. Since, Padmaavat is not being released in this state, every cinelover or even normal people were waiting for a film to watch in theater. So, in the second month of the year, a film is out starring the most popular actor- Akshay Kumar in the titular role of Padman.

Film is based on true story. Padman is a madman- This is what the villagers think. Because, He cares and thinks for the safety of his wife while she is having a period. He then understands the basic needs for women. How does he invent pads and after that what problems he faces to aware people for using those pads are the questions which will be covered during the film. And this film is the most entertaining film, I repeat, Most entertaining film!

I found Toilet very slow and boring. But, this is super intriguing and paced based film. R. Balki is known for his unusual subjects. He is master in that. So, no doubt in that. Though I feel this film does not show his directorial efforts. But, kudos to him for his brave choices and also for, as of now, his biggest hit till date.

Radhika Apte suits in her character of a village bride. She plays comfortably. Sonam Kapoor has one more hit in her career. Again she shines out, like she was in Bhag Milkha Bhag. She delivers her one of the best performances. Others are good. Balki's film is incomplete without Amitabh Bachchan, so brace yourself before watching his cameo!

Akshay Kumar is the only actor who works for his audience. Now, he is bringing stories which have to be told worldwide. Also, I feel that he is becoming mature towards his acting and choosing subjects. No other actor can pull off this role as beautifully as him. This time I am feeling the vibes of him enjoying this role so much, as he always tries to help someone, especially women, and this character does the same!

Amit Trivedi is known for his western music with cultural touch. You will feel this in Sayaani Song. Title song is good, too. Sweet, simple and suitable music. If you want shayari with simple words or even English words, Kausar Munir is the best lyricist. She can give you Tu Hi Hai from Dear Zindagi, as well as, Aaj Se Tera Ho Gaya in this one.

With claps worthy dialogues, entertaining screenplay, Narmada, New York, IIT Delhi and Akshay Kumar all in one packet, this Padman will satisfy you for sure. The speech at UN by Padman was terrific. His monologue will be remembered for life long!

With mixture of emotions, innocence and determination, anyone can come up with an innovation. Try to think besides yourself. The world is waiting for your invaluable ideas. JanSankhya (Number of people) is more in our country, so does ZahanSankhya (Number of Minds)! Think in the direction of betterment of people. Like Padmashree winner- The Original Padman did.

Debutante director Kushal Shrivastava brings to us a murder mystery thriller film starring Kay Kay Menon in the lead.

Film is set in Manali, where few murders happen in a Hotel called Vodka Diaries. ACP Ashwini Dixit starts his searching for the murderer. Meanwhile, lot's of complexities happen in his life or you can say in his mind. The answer of Who is the murderer becomes really tricky and complex due to lot's of twists and turns.

The snowy mountains have been shown superbly. Kudos to the cinematographer for using the beautiful place as a haunted one. Similarly, the background score gives you a feeling like these incidents are happening in front of you. My favorite piece of music was when Ashwini enters in happening market in night.

Sharib Hashmi plays the role of sub-inspector. He is good. Mandira as ACP's wife is average. May be another actress can be able to pull the role better. Raima suits in her role perfectly.

Kay Kay Menon is the reason I went for. He is absolutely fantastic as usual. I am sure you will connect to him from the very first frame. He has done a fabulous job. Also, I liked the setup of the conversations between husband and wife with the usage of poems and ghazals.

This film is watchable for the performance by Kay Kay and the complexity created by director Kushal. He, as a debutante, is superb. Though, I find the plot similar to a Bollywood movie (I will not write the name, else you will get the theme of this film if you have seen that) starring Rajiv Khandelwal. That is the reason why I am reducing the rating. But, having said that, the situations created in this one are far different and more fast-paced. You can surely feel the thrill during the runtime.

On the whole, this film is definitely worth a watch. But, I guess, it won't make money, because the 2 big Ps are coming next week. Anyway, if you have time, go for it.

Anurag Kashyap is redefining himself. I didn't like his last two films Bombay Velvet and Raman Raghav 2.0. But I like this one.
I was amazed to see the whole story which was shown to us in trailer was there in first half itself. I got excited to think what the film will tell in the second half. First half was full of love, songs, romance, fight, and happy ending. Second half contains the issues in Government sectors, offices, sports and above all Uttar Pradesh.
I wish Ravi Kishan's character had been written more. He suits in his perfectly. Debutant actress Zoya delivers superb expressions. Jimmy Shergil is as usual outstanding.
Vineet Kumar Singh is terrific. He is now become star. Everyone knows that he can act superbly. But after this film, everyone would know that he can hold the entire film too.
Songs are superb. Mushkil Hai Mel, Pantra, Bahut Dukha hai - Every song has its own charisma.
Overall, a very good start of this year with this film. Kashyap, take a bow!

Akshat Verma is famous for his dark humor and mad plot. After giving Delhi Belly as a writer, returns as a writer-director for this film, starring Saif Ali Khan, Deepak Dobriyal, Vijay Raaz, etc.

The film is all about what happened on that one night. Three parallel stories have been running in a city on the same night. There is no connection between them. But the screenplay has been written very well that we feel connected towards all of them from the very first scene of each stories.

Though, I believe that the most funny and fast paced story is the one between Vijay Raaz and Deepak Dobriyal. These two guys have chatted brilliantly about their plans and dreams in the most hilarious way. I want to thank CBFC for not deleting or muting any cuss words from this film, so that we can able to enjoy it in right manner. Without these words, What could Vijay Raaz do! LOL.

Kunaal Roy Kapoor and Shobhita Dhulipala with other two actors are there to just give us an idea what could happen in a party. Also, the other factor, which you will find out while watching, is bit overly handled according to me. That's the one thing I didn't like in this film.

The main part, or my favorite, is of Saif Ali Khan's! He has played an absolutely new character on screen. I wish I could have given chance...But, never mind! Saif has done his job superbly. Kudos to the thinker who thought the imagination and created the visuals of Saif's character. These are the highlights of the film. Isha Talwar is sweet and beautiful in her short role. Akshay Oberoi gives full support to his on screen brother Saif. By far, this story is the main part, (amm yes you got it right), of this film Kaalakaandi.

Bollywood is changing day by day. This is one of the changes. Many would not like the ending scene, but, I completely laughed out loud on that. Because you have to remember that this is just a mad, crude, creepy film. I am sure if you invest your time into this, you definitely forget all your problems. In fact, you'll forget your real life too and get trapped into this mad world! It is different from Delhi Belly. Humor is less here. Life and death and Karma... in an adult movie, which I think is only for youngsters. After watching this, I would say: Fuck the rest, Let the Karma do the Best! Enjoy.
