Yesterday movie review: A dreamy and enjoyable fantasy fiction

Yesterday movie review: A dreamy and enjoyable fantasy fiction

Despite the brilliant performances, the film lacks seriousness and heft. The narrative, high on concept, is light-hearted and frothy. Richard Curtis` writing does not do justice either to the Beatles Music or to Jack`s journey. Despite its many flaws, the film is funny, enjoyable and hardly disappointing.

Malaal movie review: Strong performances elevate this love story

Based on an original tale by K. Selvaraghavan, the story is sweet with all the trappings of a sweet romance. The screenplay by the director and Sanjay Leela Bhansali ensures that the songs mesh seamlessly into the narrative.

However, the narrative fails to bring up the reason for Dhruv's obsessive behaviour. Is he in love or does he suffer from delusions of love?

With the quality of horror films slipping notches below expected standards, director Gary Dauberman`s "Annabelle Comes Home" seems like a welcome change, despite not offering any path breaking moments.

Overall, this biopic may not be on par with Freddie Mercury`s "Bohemian Rhapsody", but nevertheless it is revelatory and will entice you to hear more of Elton John.
