Bawaal(Prime Video)
Exactly at what point in time does a motion picture become an emotionpicture? Bawaal leaves you bewildered in a good way. It is ambitious audacious and not afraid to take risks.
It is risky , yes. But then cinema that plays it safe is guilty of ignoring the rudimentary rule laid down by the great filmmakers: every film should have something to take home beyond entertainment. Contemporary cinema seldom does.
But Bawaal does. It tells us much about mending a fracture relationship and the relationship between history and interpersonal dynamics. Writers Nitesh Tiwari, Piyush Gupta, Nikhil Malhotra, and Shreyas Jain put their heads together for a story that takes you along from Lucknow to Paris, and beyond without making a song and dance of it. Although the film visits four European spots—Paris, Normandy, Berlin and Auschwitz—it does not wear a touristic look. For this, credit must...

Ittefaq
Starring Akshaye Khanna,Sidharth Malhotra, Sonakshi Sinha
Directed by Abhay Chopra
This 2-hour thriller claiming to be a taut revisionist version of the 1969 classic produced by this film’s director’s father and directed by his uncle, actually seems to last much longer than its playing-time.
Ittefaq is one long stretch and a yawn. Unlike the origina,l the action in the remake jumps all over the place like a frog during the mating season. The characters run around a lot. But we are never interested in where they are going, or whom they were trying to bump off and why. This is not a whodunit. This is a whocareswhodunit disguised as a whodunit.
And the real murder victim is the original film’s script. Yash Chopra’s Ittefaq has been mauled and moulded into shapes that the original creators never intended. The real murder happens not in the...

Bollywood churns out on average 120 plus films a year, with 2014 reaching 142. So to think all of them will go down in history as being successful is rather naive. But what about the ones we thought would work wonders but came up short? The ones that left us thinking, “Why was this allowed past the editing board”? Even ones that somehow managed to cha-ching the money registers sky high. 2014 had its fair share of films that fit all these categories. BollySpice brings you the biggest disappointments of 2014.

A.R.Murugadoss blew everyone’s mind when he told a tale of an anterograde amnesia patient desperately seeking revenge for the murder of his girlfriend in Ghajini. Yet when it came to a follow up film, one could say Holiday fell short of all the trimmings to recreate the magic. The writer in Murugadoss failed to see the shortcomings of his story,...
