Brotherly love takes a beating, literally, in Lakeer.

Troy: 142 minutes of myths, heroes and battles
Wolfgang Peterson's $180 million stumbles for the want of a better script and penetrating dialogues, says Arthur J Pais.

Garv: Nothing to be proud of!
It's hard to like the music of this cop drama starring Salman Khan and Shilpa Shetty.

Watch Charas purely for kicks!
Tigmanshu Dhulia's Charas makes for a compelling watch.
