Jolly LLB 2 is a film written and directed by Subhash Kapoor. When I first heard this film and knew that Akshay Kumar was in it, I knew not to expect much. But when I saw the film, I was happy to have been proved wrong.

Plot: Jagdishwar Mishra goes head on with Mr. Khurana regarding a case on a fake encounter.

Story and direction: If you loved the first film, I feel you will too love the second. The introduction is a bit comedic. But once the film gets serious. I was fully with it. Many people who saw this film said that it had less of comedy. For them I would like to say that this is a sarcastic film. There is a difference between sarcasm and comedy. Each and every thing shown here was very true. While the first film deals with irresponsible rich guys, this one deals with corruption in our country (and in some way terrorism). I guess I couldn't fault the screenplay in any way.

Acting: Akshay Kumar does a great job as the poor type lawyer. Huma Qureshi was also good as the supporting (and alcoholic) wife. Annu Kapoor was also great as the opposing and rich kind of lawyer. Saurabh Shukhla was again the star of the film (as in the previous too). HIs comic timing is impeccable. It was good to see Kumud Mishra do something new.

Music: I guess this was the only flaw with the entire film. There was not a single song that I can remember and say that I loved this song. It would have been better if the film was song-less.

Favorite scene: I guess it would be the climax of the film when the entire truth is revealed. I loved the way the reality of law and order and government system was kept.

Verdict: I had a blast an entire time with this film. Yes, I wish the film was song-less. But that's it. I never had a dull moment with the film.

I will give it a 9/10.

The Intern is a film written and directed by Nancy Meyers. I had just heard about the film being a good one. I saw no trailers so I didn't know what to expect out of it. After the film finished, I was satisfied. It's basically a slice of life kind of film.

Plot: Ben Whittaker, a 70 year old, joins as an intern to Jules Ostin in an online fashion company.

Story and Direction: The story is quite simple. We have a man, old and alone, having to do nothing basically, joining as an intern to just make himself busy. Now that's something an old man always faces which is very beautifully shown here. Then we have a contrasting character like Jules, who is very busy and doesn't have the time for almost anything (today's working women). Both of these characters are balanced quite nicely. We also have certain characters of the office which are quite enjoyable. Also we get a sneak peek into Jules' home where she has a husband and daughter, for who she feels she is giving less time due to her job. The most of the story is perfect. I had issues with some things. Like Fiona the massage therapist. Although the character was very little, but still, trying to make Ben and Fiona a pair was kind of making the story go off track. Another thing was the office people helping Jules in one scene of a mistake made by her. I mean, don't we say we should keep our personal and professional lives separate.

Performances: Robert De Niro is a great actor and its always a joy to see him. Anne Hathaway was also good as the working woman Jules. Rene Russo as the therapist was also good in her small role. Adam DeVine as Jason was good in his comic portions. Zack Perlman and Jason Owley were good too as Ben's colleagues. Anders Holm had a sincerity in his role.

Favorite Scene: I guess it would be where Jules helps Ben open up a Facebook account. And Ben in turn tells Jules about his work. This was basically where I felt the essence of the film lied. The older and newer generation sitting and talking and sharing ideas.

Verdict: I had a great time with The Intern. It was a good film. Robert and Anne were great in their roles. Although a few missteps, but the film is still watchable.

I am giving it an 8/10.

Jab Harry met Sejal is a film written and directed by Imtiaz Ali. Finally, I got to see Imtiaz Ali and SRK work together. It is actually anybody's dream to see these two big names in Bollywood work together. But was it excellent piece of art? My answer would be NO.

Plot: Harry, a tourist guide, has to help Sejal find her engagement ring.

Story and direction: I have loved Imtiaz Ali's work mostly. The way he invests you in his film and the characters are to look out for. I can safely say that at present no one makes good romance films like Imtiaz Ali. The first half of this film was going great. The chemistry between the two leads was awesome. We also get to see some very great locations in the film. But as the first half finished, I was not very happy with the second half. The story fully went bland. Imtiaz Ali went his usual dark route. And there was an entire subplot related to a gangster named Gas. I mean that was the most idiotic thing that I had seen. And then the climax which was very rushed. It felt that Imtiaz Ali had just one page of a notebook and he thought let's finish the film. Also, there were some like flashbacks of Harry which actually didn't make sense.

Acting: SRK with each and every film of his proves that why he is a great actor. The way he moulded himself into the Punjabi Guy was awesome. Anushka was the normal bubbly girl next door kind of character. Also her Gujrati accent sucked. Why Imtiaz Ali made her Gujju ben also was not understood by me. Chandan Roy Sanyal was fully underutilized in this film.

Favorite Scene: I guess it would be the one before the interval where Sejal asks Harry to take her to a cafe the way her fiancé would take her. The intensity in SRK's eyes along with the melodious song Hawayein in the background was something that cannot cannot be expressed in words.

Music: Pritam happens to compose for the songs who is collaborating with Imtiaz Ali after quite a long time. It's not the best of Pritam but not the worst even. Considering he gave us a soundtrack like ADHM last year this is a bit of a downfall. 'Hawayein' would be my favorite track of the entire film.

Verdict: It's time that SRK pull up his socks so that he could give us an ultimate 200 crore film. I am optimistic about this film too but still Raees was better than this film. I am not saying that this is of poor quality like Tubelight but it is not an excellent film too.

I am going to go with a 7.5/10.
