Anupama Chopra's review: Ek Thi Daayan

Ek Thi Daayan had the potential to be an A-grade horror film but it’s an opportunity lost. However, I’m very curious about what debutant director Kannan Iyer will do next. Anupama Chopra writes.

Rashid Irani's review: The Croods

Young audiences will soak up plenty of colour and relate to the bunch of goofy characters from prehistoric times. Briskly paced, the escapades of the surviving clan of cave dwellers also manage to provide a family-friendly message about filial duty, co-existence and self-discovery. Rashid Irani writes.

Anupama Chopra's review: Chashme Buddoor

David Dhawan and Chashme Buddoor are inherently a mismatch. He is the creator of a specific kind of crass comedy, which, at its best, works as zany, energetic, disposable entertainment. Chashme Buddoor, on the other hand, is a classic, a film with a genuine sweetness.

Rise of the Zombie: be very afraid

Rise of the Zombie has been pitched as Bollywood’s first zombie film. I know zombies are by definition fictitious, dead and determinedly brainless, but after watching this movie, I worried about their feelings.
