Highway review

ALI ALI... TERI GALI 

Rating: 9 out of 10

It’s hard for me to put in down in words what I loved about Highway or why I loved it. There are moments when Alia Bhatt’s character, Veera, laughs and cries and doesn’t know why she is expressing her emotions this way. Honestly, I decided not to review this film. Not because I don’t want to, I really want to. Except this is one of those rare times where I might not be able to explain why I loved a film so much. Considering the fact that my job is to do exactly that, I would be doing a disservice to it.

Hasee Toh Phasee review

LOOKING SO CRAZY IN LOVE

Rating: 8 out of 10

I am going to begin this review with a personal impression. Hasee Toh Phasee opens with a scene where we see a little boy called Nikhil sneaking out of his house to watch his favorite film. In my head I pointed at the screen and said “Oh wait, that’s me”. Basically, this film had me at hello. Name and everything.

If this is not relatable for me then I don’t know what is. The fact that rest of the film is in equal parts relatable and charming is not just a surprise but also a relief.
