ISHAQZAADE Director: Habib Faisal Starring: Arjun Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra and others Rating: * * * A little girl in a small North Indian town of Almor is seen spewing rage at a group of boys following her school rickshaw. This one grows up to the sharp-tongued, political aspirant, who trades her jhumkas for a pistol — a very interesting character, who drives this film forward.

DANGEROUS ISHQ 3D Director: Vikram Bhatt Starring: Karisma Kapoor, Rajniesh Duggal, Jimmy Shergill, Divya Dutta, Ravi Kissen Rating: * * You have to give it to Vikram Bhatt for being consistent with the highlights and flaws in each of his films.

DARK SHADOWS Director: Tim Burton Starring: Johnny Depp, Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer, and others Rating: * * Tim Burton is one of the original and weird (in a good way) filmmakers in Hollywood, so it’s a little disconcerting that he chose to pick an old TV series to rehash, like so many in Hollywood are doing now, probably for lack of tempting original material.

HUGO Director: Martin Scorsese Starring: Ben Kingsley, Asa Butterfrield, Chloe Grace Moretz, Sacha Baron Cohen and others Rating: * * * * Hugo comes to India a little late, but laden with awards and acclaim. Someone called it Martin Scorsese’s love poem to the movies, which is an apt description.

JANNAT 2 Director: Kunal Deshmukh Starring: Emraan Hashmi, Randeep Hooda, Esha Gupta, Manish Chaudhary and others Rating: * * If random clips of several Emraan Hashmi films were screened, you probably wouldn’t be able to identify the films — particularly those from the Vishesh Films stable. He starts as cocky and amoral, goes through a crisis and there’s anguish to express, sometimes redemption too.

THE LUCKY ONE Director: Scott Hicks Starring: Zac Efron, Taylor Schilling, Riley Thomas Stewart, Blythe Danner Rating: * 1/2 Zac Efron didn’t look half as kiddish while kissing 54-year-old Michelle Pfeifer in New Year’s Eve as he does in The Lucky One while making out with Taylor Schilling who happens to be half Pfeifer’s age.

THE AVENGERS Director: Joss Whedon Starring: Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Gwyneth Paltrow, Paul Bettany, Stellan Skarsgard, Don Cheadle, Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Ruffalo and others Rating: * * * * A dazzling line-up of stars playing superheroes in a single film — it’s the comic fan’s fantasy come true.

TEZZ Director: Priyadarshan Starring: Anil Kapoor, Ajay Devgn, Zayed Khan, Boman Irani and others Rating: * * The running-against-time and disaster-waiting-to-happen kind of scenario has been done so often by both Hollywood and Bollywood films, that there is nothing more left to wring out of it.

KHEL MANDALA Director: Viju Mane Starring: Mangesh Desai, Ananya Devre, Urmila Kanitkar, Prasad Oak, Manasi Salvi Rating: * * * Few Marathi filmmakers attempt to show the father-daughter relationship still fewer succeed in capturing its various layers. Viju Mane's Khel Mandala is commendable because it sensitively handles the bonding that develops between a physically challenged girl and her foster father.
