Hate Story 3

Cast : Sharman Joshi, Zarine Khan, Karan Singh Grover, Daisy Shah
Rated : 5/10
 
Some will love to hate it and others will hate to love it. Between these two extremes, this third one of the series unfolds its very own extremities with some obvious overtures steamy here was expected but Sharman Joshi lip-locking awkwardly and hiding his torso behind the silk of his woman again for pretty obvious reasons was funny, as were the slurpy kissing which Pahlaj Nihalani seems to have not seen while the scissors were in his hands.
 
Either that or the poor man was too stunned to react, not because of the extended foreplay but because it was all unnecessary and ill-timed and way off the mark. Be it Zarine Khan’s interlude with Karan Singh Grover or Daisy’s seduction number with the same guy way too imperfect and thus embarrassing.
 
Other than that, complements for keeping the rigmarole intact for a long time though those ones who have been with Agatha Christie in their growing years would have long figured it out as to who was doing what and why.
 
The storyline could have been slicker and the action more to make this otherwise interesting one a sureshot captivator.
 
Joshi, throughout, for example, was ill at ease with the complexities and shades of his characterisation. From good to bad, he was in a tizzy and when put between the sheets was an absolute disaster.
 
Grover makes money out of being bad on screen so this was a dream walk for him but again  despite it being him  the sex scenes made him overtly uncomfortable.
 
All in all, Hate Story 3 has the suspense but not enough you could say.

Nil Battey Sannata: Endearing, real and simple

Cast :  Swara Bhaskar, Ratna Pathak Shah, Pankaj Tripathi Rated :  8/10 Nil Battey Sannata is a confusing title but an endearing, simple, gentle and real film. Besides, the title confuses only till Swara Bhaskar as Chanda explains it to you with endearing simplicity much ahead in the movie. It literally means zero understanding and zero marks — in her and her daughter’s case, in Mathematics. But this one is not just about the mind-boggling numbers that have become the bane of students and parents alike. It is about the maths, algebra and geometry of life itself — an equation that director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari puts on the blackboard in an engaging, simplified format. Nil Battey Sannata  is a film sitting on a very real firmament, a very you-and-me story about the in-your-face problems that everyone encounters. In here, it is about misrani  (cook) Chanda and her full of life but anti-studies daughter Apeksha Sahay’s daily churn. Thankfully, it is not the drudg...

Criminal: Arresting memory transplant

Cast : Kevin Costner, Gary Oldman, Tommy Lee Jones, Ryan Reynolds, Jordi Mollà Rated : 6/10 Big names, big imagination and good execution make this memory transplant thriller a good one to be with, especially with Kevin Costner doing a pretty good job with a character he has never played – that of an emotionless, incarcerated, brutal killer in whose brain a do-good, wife and daughter loving dead CIA’s agent’s (Ryan Reynolds) remembrances are inserted for a trail that is important for the organisation. The underdone role has been handled well by Costner, much like a successful experiment. As he gets acquainted with emotions of love, caring and affection that have been alien to him, he starts turning from a monster to a human being but the director does well to not completely erase his original personality. So, there is a mix and match, there is brutal violence as also gentle gestures, like battering a man to death in a car hijack and saving a hair brush for the little one. The f...

Mission impossible: Rogue nation -- Ethan Hunt back with bang

Staring:  Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Sean Harris, Jeremy Reyner & Rebecca Ferguson Rated : 8/10 Last time Ethan Hunt had your jaw dropping and you praying fervently for his life when mounted the sky scraping Burj Khalifa in Dubai to dangle from dizzying heights. This time, he does the same — and in all earnestness — when he dangles from the outer door of a military aircraft carrying nerve gas all those 20,000 feet high swaying with terrifying winds, hanging on to dear life literally with his finger nails. This is the fifth time since 1996 that Tom Cruise, as the inscrutable Ethan Hunt, has kept his promise of entertaining his loyal viewers with thrills, fills, kills and a little bit of unsaid romance — of course with a fellow agent. Rogue Nation was initially being touted as the last of the Mission Impossible series but seeing the youthfulness of Hunt, and probably the meticulously ‘kept-high’ entertainment value that this James-Bond lookalike series always delivers, C...
