(According to Tapu Mohantaa Judwaa 2 is a 4 star movie)

raja (varun) and prem (varun, again) are conjoined twins, who have similar reflexes. they are separated at birth by a smuggler, charles (zakir hussain), who kidnaps raja. the geek prem grows up in the lap of luxury in london with his parents, the malhotras; loud raja finds shelter in a mumbai’s fisherman’s colony. of course when the twins’ paths cross, there’s too much fun.

(According to Tapu Mohantaa Padmavati is a 0 star movie)

the first thing that strikes you as 'padmaavat' unfolds opulent,overwrought film is in spite of its visual flair and technical wizardry. its beauty, as is usually the case with a sanjay leela bhansali extravaganza, is skin deep. it is magnificent but overly manufactured. female lead deepika padukone - after whose character the film was named until censorial intervention shaved off the 'i' from the title and diluted its upfront distaff emphasis, is an eye-catching epitome of elegance. she is a sight to behold. so, as some slb fans might assert, is the film. there is pizzazz aplenty in this overlong horses-and-swords yarn, but it is all so superficial - if not wholly superfluous - that nothing that the excess-obsessed filmmaker throws into the boiling pot can rustle up a broth sizzling enough to keep crackling over a runtime of nearly three hours. what's worse is the dubious ideology it peddles to uphold notions of history favoured by the nation's current political dispensation.
