The Magnificent Seven (2016) - A very good attempt to remake the original. Denzel & Ethan back again after Training Day. I felt the run time of the movie was less to show the character development of each. Chris Pratt was bland. Denzel was as usual amazing. Peter Sarsgaard & Vincent D'Onofrio were the show-stealers of the movie.Peter Sarsgaard gave a riveting performance in the opening scene. He should have gotten some more screen time. All in all - worth watching once even twice!!

A must watch, specially for the young generation. Some great performances and no nonsense storytelling.

The Trust 6/10

After a looong time saw a Nic Cage movie which is somewhat engazing and had a really good promise.
Ending well...a bit clarity may be.

Check this out, slow but may just surprise you.

The Magnificent 7 - 5.5/10

this movie is trying to be the next legendary wild west movie on the list.
unfortunately, the attempt falls flat on its face.
the movie, like the characters and an average story [same triumph of good over bad], is quite forgettable and only saved by the acting prowess from denzel washington.

One time watch.
If you havent watched this in the theater yet, dont. wait for the releases to come out.

Pink 7/10 (reduced from 8/10)

Saw one week back. Was thinking of writing a full review then became lazy.

It's an important movie but not a well made movie. Has some biiig loopholes and at places takes audience for granted.
Climax is sure shot very well and pokes all right nerves in it's duration.

I'll again say, its an important movie but not a well made movie.

M.S.Dhoni: The untold story 7/10

Brings the goosebumps in your belly and that's it!
Too lengthy and too much trivial details.
Should have been a character study but seemed they were busy uncovering really 'unknown' facts of his past.
One thing I must say, the movie is watchable because it's about Dhoni and Sushant Singh Rajpoot's brilliant performance.

Gidam 6/10

These wannabe artsy horror movies are a matter of headache now.
More twists than an Abbas-Mastan movie coupled with slow-mo shots and non-linear story telling.
IMDB says it's runtime is 1hr 38min but felt like 2hrs or more.

Watched bold highlighted ones. Will check out others

Watched Train to Busan too. Was average but the melodrama was worth it. It redeemed the ending.
