What a pleasant surprise! Going into the theater, I didn’t expect much from this Rocky-Hart venture that seemed oddly named as Central Intelligence. Whilst from the surface it appeared the same as any comedy movie Kevin Hart had in the past pounced upon, finding it good simply made my day. DIRECTION OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE This …
A-DOR-able! Finding Dory is as extraordinary as its predecessor in terms of drama, CGI and humour. What it also is, like every other movie in the Pixar universe, an edutainment bandwagon that keeps steering towards the thoughtful learning curve. Even after more than a decade Pixar manages to bring back the panache of the first. …
Entwined lives under the influence. Udta Punjab addresses drug addiction in a way that has never been explored before.
