Newton (2017)
Good, Dark humor, Relevant, Slow
A stickler for rules had to work in a situation where almost everyone doesn't give a damn to the rules.
Even a potential love interest had to wait for five minutes. That was funny.
The big downside of the movie is the length. The editor should have cut it down to about 70 minutes.
Victoria & Abdul (2017)
Gripping as a thriller
For a movie that is not a thriller, suspense, action, comedy or even a musical, this is story telling at its best. From a storyline taken out of recently uncovered history, that does not have much historical significance, the team has created a winner. Judi Dench outperforms everyone else. The sets are very realistic. The humor is slick.
Phillauri (2017)
Good plot, bad movie
If what Suraj Sharma did in this movie is acting, then I am a commercial pilot. Except for Dusanj, who plays his role perfect, all lead actors have given below average performance. Anushka Sharma's dialogue delivery and expressions are struggling as usual. Screenplay, editing and music are below average. There are several stretches in the movie where you can spend your time better, playing games on your smartphone.
Hidden Figures (2016)
Brilliant, but at a cost
Excellent storytelling and hugely entertaining. The viewer's attention is grabbed and held, till well into the final credits. I was reluctant to get up and leave even then.
However, my advice will be not to venture into the truth if your aim is purely to be entertained. Because the truth drags the movie, from a historical non fiction, down nearer to the grey zone.
