New Delhi: As we continue with our series on this year's films, we give you an insight into those projects that were released in the month of July and August. While July didn't have any impressive release except the much talked about 'Lootera' and 'Bhaag Milkha Bhaag', August-release 'Chennai Express' became the fastest 100 crore film.
Lootera: Much like his debut film 'Udaan', Vikramaditya Motwane's 'Lootera' was also gracefully crafted. And the old-fashioned romance of Ranveer Singh, Sonakshi Sinha made the film a must watch.
Policegiri: Not even those who sympathized with Sanjay Dutt could save the film. Those who didn't watch the film didn't miss out anything important.
Bhaag Milkha Bhaag: While Farhan Akhtar emerged winner on the race track, the viewers were way too exhausted. The oh-so-lengthy biopic couldn't sustain anyone's attention.
BA Pass: Ajay Bahl's directorial venture was just passable. Even though it didn't offer anything new, the Shilpa Shukla starrer found several takers. But any film about sex and betrayal, finds acceptance, right?
Ramaiya Vastavaiya: Prabhudva's midas touch worked for the film. Even though it reminded of Salman Khan's 'Maine Pyaar Kiya', this film failed to be a mass entertainer.
D Day: The film may not have been perfect, but it was at least watchable, courtesy Rishi Kapoor and Irrfan Khan.
Ship of Theseus: Untried yet deeply moving even today. Anand Gandhi's film had three different stories that talked about life and unearthed its true meaning.
Issaq: What happens when 'Romeo and Juliet' love story is set in Benaras? All you get to see is guns, blood shed, rivalry and some over the top dialogues. Romeo and Juliet just turned in their graves after seeing this debacle.
Bajatey Raho: The only good thing about the film was that it is a bit better than other lazy comedies of the recent times. A revenge drama with a good dose of humour makes it a clever plot.
Nasha: Poonam Pandey's antics on the big screen could not give her fans a perfect hangover despite much sleaze in the film.
Chennai Express: Surprisingly, the film did not get off the tracks on the box office, despite a dose of sad humour and over-the-top acting which compels you to pull the chain even when the film begins.
Once Upon Ay Time in Mumbaai Doabara: The film sticks to the adage, "Too many cooks spoil the broth". It's not just a bad screenplay that kills the film but the over dose of 'witty' punch lines makes you want to run away and take shelter in the nearby film screening.
Madras Cafe: A sensitive take on early 1990s civil war in Sri Lanka, 'Madras Cafe' is one of the most sought after film of the year. Filmmakers should take a few tips from Shoojit Sircar on making films on real life incidents.
Satygraha: Nothing changes in a Prakash Jha film. From characters to actors to dialogues to the sets, each of his film looks like a rip off of one of his earlier films and 'Satygraha' stands true to it.
