(According to Vineet Anmol Ekka Rangoon is a 3 star movie)

when, within a short while of the film opening, you start casting about for something to hang a peg on, it is never a good sign. i spent most of ‘rangoon’ searching for the film. multiple threads make it up: it is 1943, the british are fighting hitler, and are up against the rising tide of indian freedom fighters, split between gandhi’s pacifism, and subhash chandra bose’s militarism.

(According to Vineet Anmol Ekka Ok Jaanu is a 4 star movie)

in the hindi version, everything plays out the same way. adi (aditya roy kapoor) and tara (shraddha kapoor) do the obligatory meet cute, and follow that up with a too-stretched prelude which sees them cosily shacked up in a leafy bungalow under the protective eye of an elderly couple. in ok jaanu, we can see shraddha has progressed on the acting scale, and looks pretty and fresh. aditya roy kapoor has some nice bits too, but the whole enterprise is beset by a drabness, which is surprising because you can accuse ratnam of anything but being drab. and given that shaad ali did such a good job of the previous time he remade a mani ratnam film, it is even more surprising. i can see saathiya and listen to its lilting songs any number of times (its tamil original alaipayuthey is mandatory viewing for anyone interested in mainstream romance). the older couple, played by prakash raj and leela samson in ok kanmani, was the pivot around which the youngsters revolved, and learnt life lessons. the question that the immortal song asks — will you still need me, will you still feed me when i’m 64 — is answered. of course it is. and adi and tara complete the arc we knew they were set for from frame one, in two long hours and some. of course they do. leela samson, who plays a character afflicted with a degenerative illness, reprises her part: she remains as gorgeous but less effective in hindi. naseerudin shah aces it, though: he underplays beautifully, and speaks his lines as they ought to be spoken, with an ache in the voice.

(According to Vineet Anmol Ekka Jolly Llb 2 is a 5 star movie)

on the face of it, apna jolly is a novice indulging in petty crimes because he knows the loopholes in the law. at home, he is the hen-pecked husband of lush, pushpa panday(huma) who loves whisky, gucci dresses and her chubby son in that order. but these are just asides and not the main premise of courtroom drama, which in many ways follows the template of the 2013 prequel, jolly llb.
