MOVIE REVIEW: HIMMATWALA by Fakir Hassen

Rating: 5/10 Himmatwala does not live up to the great hype made about it being a remake of the hit 1980’s film that starred then top stars Jeetendra and Sridevi.  It is rather just a self-centred exercise by director Sajid Khan to pursue his penchant for flat jokes about the …Read More

Rating: 6/10 It takes almost a third of the film before you realise why three completely different characters in completely different environments and circumstances are all called David.
