Sarbjit

Tragic tale
Film: Sarbjit

Directed by Omung Kumar, Sarbjit is a biopic inspired from the gut-wrenching story of Indian national Sarbjit Singh, who accidentally crossed the India-Pakistan border and was held captive. While Randeep Hooda essays the role of Sarabjit, Aishwarya Rai plays the character of his sister. Let us find out what the audience has to say.

Heart-wrenching tale

The portrayal is quite realistic. His tale made me sad. It is commendable, however, that movie-makers are picking such sensitive subjects for their films.

Hooda wave

Randeep Hooda has always held a special place in my heart, thanks to his powerful performances. I adore him. With this movie, Aishwarya has passed the litmus test of being a wonderful actor. She has grown as an actress over the years.

Authenticity intact

I loved the fact that the authenticity of the incident has been kept intact. Aishwarya stole the show in this one. It is a lovely movie.

Well done

All the effort and hard work of Randeep Hooda in preparation of the role has paid off. It is a must watch.

The X-factor
Film: X-Men: Apocalypse

Directed by Bryan Singer, X-Men stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence. Is it a film with nonsensical stunts or a promising story? Over to the audience…

Nice presentation

I am an out-and-out X-Men buff. I have religiously read all the comic books and have followed all the previous cinematic adaptations. I loved the presentation in this one.
