Firing neurons, dying brains and alternate reality – Source Code
I was not about to quibble over the scientific accuracy of the premise. My main worry from the promos was that sending a man back over and over again to the exact same scenario could become highly repetitive and boring. Source Code proved to be the exact opposite!

The Two Faces of Motherhood – Kannathil Muthamittal
I finally snagged a copy of Kannathil Muthamittal through Netflix and spent New Yera’s Eve watching an amazing drama unfold. It began with Shyama (a winsome Nandita Das) getting married to Dhileepan (Chakraborty) in the backwaters of Sri Lanka and then a war takes over their romance. Shyama has to flee to India and is in a refugee camp as she gives birth to a child.

Looks like GAME over for GAME! Reviews pouring in
India Masala The film is shot beautifully, especially the parts in Istanbul, but the music isn’t that great and the director doesn’t seem to have much of a hold over his project. I suggest you concentrate on the other “game” this weekend.
Taran Adarsh 1.5/5 On the whole, GAME is high on style, but low on substance. Disappointing! (It is worth nothing that the other release F A L T U gets 3.5/5 from Taran!!!)
Koel Purie 1.5/5 Pace. Pace. Pace. Give me pace. I wanted to scream like the "give me red" ad. How can you make a whodunit without being mindful of the cadence?
Nikhat Kazmi 2/5 It's hard to believe Farhan Akhtar is behind this film, Javed Akhtar has scripted the lyrics and Shankar Ehsaan Loy have given the music. So many stalwarts and so little to savour. Can't remember a single song that was incidentally shot in a slipshod manner, including the item number by Sarah Jane Dias. And can't help wonder how Farhan could sign off a film which lacks both soul and substance.
SIFY.COM 2/5 Debut director Abhinay Deo (who has also directed the yet-to-be released Delhi Belly) makes the film slick and stylish, but is lacking in rock-solid content. That is the trouble with most Bollywood thrillers any way; this one is among the many.
mouthshut.com 2/5 Smoky silences, carefully orchestrated background music fishing for dramebaazi and a whirlwind trip through glitzy cities of the world doesn’t compensate for lack of thrills in a murder mystery.
Anupama Chopra 2/5 The actors veer between looking bewildered and grim and the only one who makes any impression is Kangna who brings some energy into this leaden enterprise. I’m going with two stars.
Sukanya Verma 2/5 For its entire obsession with ambiance, Game is, at heart, a frustratingly old-fashioned murder mystery. If you're the kind who follows the genre keenly, by second act, you'll have figured out the wild card and the culprit. Question is do you want to?
