Film Review: Runway 34

Entertainment, Reviews April 30, 2022April 29, 2022 Hoshang K. Katrak 0 Comments

When a film opens with the cryptic disclaimer, ‘Somewhat inspired by…’, the viewer is entitled to tread cautiously throughout the movie. On 18 August 2015, a Jet Airlines flight from Doha to Kochi hit turbulent weather and the flight deck crew had to go through similar relentless investigations. Seven years later, Ajay Devgn (Capt. Vikrant […]

Entertainment, Reviews December 25, 2021December 24, 2021 Reviewed by Hoshang K Katrak 0 Comments

Traditionally, 24 June is observed as Midsummer’s Day in Britain. But little would the Clive Lloyd led West Indies team, camping in London, envisage the heat they would have to endure the next day at Lord’s in the epic World Cup final against underdogs – India, permanently altering the Indian cricket fans’ perception of their […]

Film Review: Thappad

Reviews February 29, 2020February 28, 2020 Hoshang K. Katrak 0 Comments

‘A marriage is a deal’, utters a character midway through the film. That this deal does not turn out to be ideal is the focal point of Anubhav Sinha’s two-hour-plus film, co-scripted by him and Mrunmayee Lagoo, with script finishing touches by Anjum Rajabali. Amrita Sabherwal is a loving, dutiful housewife (having given up her […]

Film Review: Just Mercy

Entertainment, Reviews January 18, 2020January 17, 2020 Hoshang K. Katrak 0 Comments

“You’re guilty from the moment you’re born”, is the common refrain of African Americans, especially in the state of Alabama, where racism still persists to a horrifying degree, and where  ‘Just Mercy’ is centered. Based on a true story, and adapted from noted civil rights lawyer Bryan Stevenson’s memoirs ‘Just Mercy: A Story of Justice […]

Film Review: 1917

Entertainment, Reviews January 18, 2020January 17, 2020 Hoshang K. Katrak 0 Comments

The film, which depicts the happenings over a 24-hour period on 6th April, 1917, during WW1 (and hence the title) could well have been called ‘Race Against Time’. Co-written by director Sam Mendes, and based on a story narrated to him by his grandfather, Alfred Mendes, the film unfolds with Lance Corporal Tom Blake (Dean-Charles […]

Film Review: Shimla Mirchi

Entertainment, Reviews January 4, 2020January 3, 2020 Hoshang K. Katrak 0 Comments

Shimla mirchi, the Indian capsicum, is not supposed to be spicy – not even pungent. Ramesh Sippy’s film by the same name, released after more than five years of completion, stays true to the meaning! Avinash (Rajkummar Rao) is on a holiday with his family (all women!) to picturesque Shimla where his eyes dwell on […]

Film Review: The Grudge

Entertainment, Reviews January 4, 2020January 3, 2020 Hoshang K. Katrak 0 Comments

The fourth in the series, and based on ‘Ju-On: The Grudge’ by Takashi Shimuzu, this one travels from Tokyo to Pennsylvania – a family experiencing something sinister in their lives when in Japan has no respite even when relocating to the US. Detective Muldoon (Andrea Riseborough) is deputed to solve a case. She realises that […]

Film Review – Panipat

Entertainment, Reviews December 7, 2019December 6, 2019 Hoshang K. Katrak 0 Comments

‘Lagta hai ke mera Khuda bhi ab unke saath hai’, utters the power-hungry Afghan king Ahmad Shah Abdali (Sanjay Dutt) in exasperation, seemingly outwitted by the wily Maratha commander Sadashiv Rao Bhau (Arjun Kapoor). ‘Panipat’ is all about the third Battle of Panipat, on 14 January, 1761 between the two. Nanasaheb Peshwa (Mohnish Bahl) comes […]

Film Review – Hotel Mumbai

Entertainment, Reviews November 30, 2019November 29, 2019 Hoshang K. Katrak 0 Comments

India’s 26/11 has been invariably, and universally, compared to 9/11 of the US – the moral bankruptcy of the perpetrators and their handlers, the meticulous planning, targeting of the commercial capital cities, the suddenness and viciousness of the attacks, and above all – the resilience of the peoples of the affected countries. ‘Hotel Mumbai’, inspired […]

Film Review – 21 BRIDGES

Entertainment, Reviews November 23, 2019November 22, 2019 Hoshang K. Katrak 0 Comments

Two particular scenes at the beginning of the film prepare the viewer for 32-year-old NYPD Detective, Andre Davis’s (Chadwick Boseman) tough, no-nonsense character – as a 13-year-old, he silently weeps at his father’s funeral – a sincere policeman slain in the line of duty; and later, as a detective specialising in killing cop-killers, standing up […]
