Deepesh posted a review for Bhoot: Part One - The Haunted Ship in Movies
Is this ambitiously titled Bhoot—Part One: The Haunted Ship one of them? I'm afraid not. Although it's got all the accoutrements that you ordinarily associate with horror, so all genre boxes checked alright — creaking door, eerie doll, sound going ballistic on occasion, besides a space that's horrendously haunted. Vicky Kaushal plays that dare-devil. Actually he's not even the only doubter in this film. Even his best buddy is one of them. They work in the shipping industry. What does a ship have to do with ghosts? Well, if you consider a 2011 news-item, about a 9000-tonne cargo ship MV Wisdom, whose engine had failed, and then it drifted and ran aground on Mumbai's Juhu beach, you'll know exactly where the idea for this film came from. Eventually, everything boils down to two or three quick scenes — with top-notch sound and production design — where you can hear audiences laugh. And that's a great news. Those are nervous laughs. Nobody laughs at a horror film. Ever. The loudest ones are in fact the biggest believers. Or even if intimate, you only wish this was a higher stakes' game, though. The wrecked ship is called Sea Bird. That's also the name of my building, where I'm going to be sleeping alone tonight. Am I feeling scared? Nope. Unless, of course, I speak too soon!

Deepesh posted a review for The Invisible Man in Movies
I was skeptical at first and first looked at reviews from who first saw it because I thought its bad but then I discovered that Leigh Whannell directed this movie (which directed Saw, Dead Silence, Insidious & Insidious 2) and with Jason Blum (Blumhouse Productions) producing this movie and I was wrong! This movie is different from the 1933 one and the book by H.G Wells and instead focuses on modern technology (which I think some bookreaders hate this movie) but that's a brilliant idea, on how they change it since we are on the modern age now. It also stars Elizabeth Moss which is the standout for this film, his acting and emotions is superb and Leigh Whannell's directing, which is one of my favorite horror movie directors also rocked this movie with how he shot the movie making the audience feel like someone is watching them (making them feeling like Elizabeth Moss' character) at where the camera faces. Overall, don't wait for Blu-ray or DVD but watch this psychological thriller in theatres/cinemas, you'll love this and the plot twist (which I'd rather not say because it'll ruin the experience) will also make you shook. 5-stars for this movie and looking forward to Leigh Whannell's movies that he'll direct!

Deepesh posted a review for Thappad in Movies
This one hits the right cords in so many ways.. Little does it starts with a housewife's routine to one that strives hard for her own self respect and happiness..so thought provoking at various levels..A movie that binds a different story for relationships but a common message to weave the purpose..How Impactfully have they highlighted that unknowingly we as women be it a mother,sister,wife end up sacrificing those little things as we get to a society and while we are in relationship..A brilliant touchdown to all of it...Do watch..!! Dialogues are heart touching and bang on..so much violent could this topic could have been but the story just so beautifully simplifies its journey to the end...

Deepesh posted a review for Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan in Movies
Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan couches its misgivings about how its target audience will respond to the ticklish theme and deal with the questions that it raises in a bright, breezy and occasionally surreal social comedy that takes swipes at Bollywood's established notions of heroism (the screen persona of Amitabh Bachchan is frequently invoked) and heterosexual love (Laila-Majnu, Shirin-Farhad and Romeo-Juliet are alluded to). But the radicalism of Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan has its limits. A smooch or two between the two men in love is all that the film is willing to risk. The homosexual lovers are understandably never shown in bed although they do discuss touch and sleeping together. To drive home the point that love, no matter of what kind it is, is science, Aman rattles off the names of a bunch of chemicals and hormones that excite physical passion - dopamine, cortasil, oxytocin. His parents, Shankar and Sunaina (Neena Gupta, outstanding), do not however budge from their belief that gay love is unnatural. The comic flights of fancy do not always take off in the right direction or land smoothly, but with the actors going all out to make the film work, some parts of Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan are genuinely funny and quirky. The film may be erratic in parts, but its entertainment quotient is delightfully high for a film tackling a clash between conservatism and freedom, between tradition and modernity.

Deepesh posted a review for Malang - Unleash The Madness in Movies
A full-on bollywood thriller, with typical Mohit Suri elements,engaging direction & brilliant performances by Aditya & Anil Kapoor(but Kunal Khemu was just okayish & Disha, though looked stunning,still needs to improve on her acting). Super melodious songs & nice,unique camera work(though the camera angles were copied from movies like 1917 & birdman yet at least they made it look different). Wish the storyline was much better and not just a sort of mixture of Murder 2 and Ek Villain. But some terrific direction, crisp editing & good acting blended with soulful music makes this a really entertaining watch ! I was able to connect with it's characters completely & hence found it to be pretty good overall.
