Funrahi Rating: 3.5/5

What's Good: Medical negligence is rightly highlighted!

What's Bad: The approach and the storyline could have been much better.

Verdict: In the second-half it feels like a unworthy tribute to Ankur Arora, whose real life story is the basis of this movie -- mainly due to the longing's of the proceedings and the climax.

What's Good: The undying action, Neil's romeogiri and the climax.

What's Bad: A tasteless and overdramatic treatment of an ordinary story.

Verdict: Susi Ganesh's remake of 2006-tamil-hit fails terribly in Bollywood, as susi doesn't rework the concept and adapt it to today's world.

Final Words: Please miss this one!

Funrahi Rating: 2/5

What's Good: The only thing that's inventive in YPD2 is Orangutan’s festivity + The Songs!

Final Words: Strictly for teenagers!

Funrahi Rating: 3/5

What's Good: Film's earnest efforts -- being a simple, straight from the heart, emotionally engaging, heart-warming teenage flick!

What's Bad: Some points in the plot could have been turned better and exciting, but instead turns into all-encompassing shallowness.

Verdict: 'Gippi' is a feel-good drama coupled with heart-winning story and Riya Vij being the silver lining.

Watch or Not: It is an exceptionally watchable film for teenagers.

Synopsis: It's time to relive those precious teenage moments! The moments of friendship, the crazy crushes, the best friends and the arch rivals, the embarrassing moments, the effort to adjust to one's changing body! Watch Gippi's journey as she deals with it all. Gippi is a 14-year-old girl who lives in Simla with her mother Pappi and little brother Booboo. She is overweight and awkward and doesn't know how to handle the physical, emotional and social changes adolescence brings. In school she is a backbencher and is constantly bullied by the popular queen-bee Shamira and at home, she's trying to figure out how to deal with living in a broken home. In the middle of all this chaos, she falls madly in love with an older, brooding heartbreaker. When her love story comes to a humiliating end and she is publicly scorned, she decides to take her life in her hands and accepts Shamira's challenge to stand against her in the school elections. Whatever the final outcome might be Gippi makes sure she has a great time in the journey, filling it with delicious desserts, funny teachers, school crushes, and Shammi Kapoor dances. 'Gippi' is a coming-of-age story of an ordinary, overweight girl, who through the course of the film learns to love herself for exactly who she is. It is also a tale of an underdog who picks herself up from nothing and finds herself at the top of her own little world.

Final Words: Worth a watch!

Funrahi Rating: 3/5

What's Good: First-half is flawless, and the approaching plot is highly original and unfamiliar.

What's Bad: Few limp moments where it doesn't spook any horror in you, instead gets predictable; The climax was clearly a disappointing mash-up.

Verdict: First-half is clearly a winner, while in the second-half -- writing becomes obvious, the surprises disappear, and the big reveal turns a mash-up.

Watch or Not: 'Ek Thi Daayan', despite its many flaws, is endurable because of some fine performances by Konkana and Emran -- So do make time for it!

Final Words: Neither Amusing, Nor Boring.

Funrahi Rating: 2.5/5

What's Good: Ayushmann Khurrana -- he's the captain of the sinking ship named 'Nautanki Saala!'; Longest on-screen smooch in excruciating close-up; and Once again nicely blended music.

What's Bad: Awfully stretched plot and New girl Pooja Salvi's dismissing performance.

Verdict: Nautanki Saala! is entertaining and funny in parts but often it feels stretched and flat, like champagne without the fizz.

Watch or Not: Watch if if you like Ayushmann Khurrana and Kunal Roy Kapur, both make the movie watchable. Watch this movie with a light heart, but don't expect to be amused nor drained.

Synopsis: Ram Parmar (Ayushmann Khuranna) one night meets Mandar Lele (Kunaal Roy Kapur) who is troubled and lonely. It is the story of their bonding and friendship. It's a comedy of errors where all of RP's acting skills are tested to the limit as he improvises his way through a hilarious real life drama, complemented by the loose cannon that is Mandar Lele! The film directed by Rohan Sippy, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Kunaal Roy Kapur in the lead roles along with Pooja Salvi and Evelyn Sharma.
