Wadjda (Arabic, 2012)
For a normal story of childhood desire, Wadjda is brilliant and it strikes the right chords with what people’s ambitions are and how many sacrifices they are prepared to do to feed their ambitions. In doing so, the director has been satiating enough in the best possible way.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (English, 2014)
Spirited performances and sizzling chemistry from the lead pair makes up for the crowded screenplay! Could have been Sam Raimi’s “Spiderman 3” easily if not for the romantic angle which keeps us interested!

A film that grows on you as it charts the path of an irrational & sometimes irritating dreamer, endearingly enacted by Greta Gerwig.
