Reviewed: Hamaari Adhuri Kahani

‘Hamari Adhuri Kahani’ is one of those movies, which emphasizes on the fact that good writing is the most important part of a movie, and that bad writing cannot be covered up with other great aspects. The movie is a multi-storied building with exclusively designed floors of acting, direction, cinematography, screenplay, photography etc. But the whole building, even with its great design, is bound to collapse due to its weak foundation of a ‘taken for granted’ treatment of writing.

Reviewed: Jurassic World

A Dinosaur Movie About Human Emotions Jurassic world is one of those rare movies that I could not (rather should not) critically appraise based on conventional areas of filmmaking like direction, writing, acting, etc., as this movie goes way beyond established conventions. Along with a futuristic portrayal of the genetics technology, which is highly advanced already; the movie also dives into the depth of human psyche to rediscover the virtues that are nearly lost in the present business -oriented world. Hence as the movie is unconventional, this review is also based on unconventional topics rather than regular filmmaking.   Genetic…
