Many of the film's better ideas are lost in execution

So much in this film is good, until it all goes nowhere in the end

Bombay Talkies is a breath of fresh air and reminds just how much the movies mean to us.

There is barely any semblance of storytelling here and the film just revels in its violence. It all feels empty beyond a point because none of the characters are developed enough for us to care.

It nicely builds up intrigue, but leaves you wanting more in the end

Sippy never brings the lightness of touch needed to pull off this kind of film. Like the title suggests, it's all empty theatrics

The new 'Chashme Baddoor' doesn't entirely work because Dhawan appears conflicted between taking the characters on a journey of his making, and sticking to the blueprint of the original film

A busy, crowded film but one that's deathly dull in the final reckoning

This is death by boredom!

Its heart unquestionably in the right place, 'Jolly LLB' is very watchable, even if it does paint in broad strokes
