There have been spectacular comebacks in history the world over, but for now, Donald Trump carries the day

Through interest subvention and guarantee cover for banks, PM-Vidyalaxmi should help create a more skilled workforce

Monitoring spot and future prices, hedging, and greater adoption of digital transactions will help them pare the risk

ITo steer clear of sanctimonious newspaper stories all your life, and then be saddled with movies like Kadak Singh -- now there's a rotten bit of luck worth moaning about, sighs Sreehari Nair.

It's not uncommon for performers to become bigger than the stories they are placed in and Sreehari Nair would happily pay to watch Isha Talwar and Paramvir Singh Cheema riffing on love, bad life choices, psychology, rhythm, and oven-baked Kulchas in Chamak.

Mast Mein Rehne Ka is a thoroughly human film, which makes you laugh as hard as it will make you feel for the characters, notes Mayur Sanap.

Rajkumar Hirani has a mastery in bromance. In Dunki, Sukanya Verma doesn't feel that chemistry one bit, it's more like SRK babysitting a bunch of clueless kids running helter-skelter in a garden believing the grass is always greener on the other side.

Dunki doesn't have any repeat value unlike other Hirani films. And that perhaps is saying a lot, notes Mayur Sanap.

I was very happy to see the old Shah Rukh Khan back. Please, leave the action to Salman Khan, requests A Ganesh Nadar.

Kho Gaye Hum Kahan is a light glimpse into healthy young lives ready to soar in their own sweet skin, applauds Sukanya Verma.

Killer Soup's plots grow too convoluted and the strain of keeping the momentum going shows when its shrewd and surreal visuals lose steam, observes Sukanya Verma.

Guntu Kaaram doesn't deliver on its basic promise: Entertainment, sighs Mayur Sanap.

Is this a shot at patriarchy under the classic tale of mistaken identities? Or a humorous coming-of-age feminist tale as seen in last year's Barbie, wonders Mayur Sanap.

Despite its flaws, you can watch Karmma Calling if you like the glitz and drama of the ultra-rich, notes Mohnish Singh.

Even though the story has nothing much to say beyond its central conflict, the film is consistently poignant and, in one scene near the end, it leaves you dewy-eyed, observes Mayur Sanap.

Bhakshak should create some awareness and maybe raise some compassion towards victims of abuse, observes Deepa Gahlot.

Anweshipin Kandettum is a fascinating genre exercise let down by its incessant attention to details, observes Arjun Menon.

Crakk is absolute crap, declares Mayur Sanap.

All India Rank achieves a fine balance of authenticity and sensitivity in the fine portrayals of its young actors and old.

If Indrani Mukerjea wanted to whitewash her image, this docu series was not the right platform, asserts Deepa Gahlot.

For all its oddball energy and earnest ambition, Fairy Folk cannot be missed, applauds Mayur Sanap.

Despite director Homi Adajania's ease around quirky ensembles and macabre touches, Murder Mubarak fails to draw the viewer into its shallow world of the vain and wealthy, feels Sukanya Verma.

With the kind of money and talent that has gone into making this movie, a really good biopic of a personality like Savarkar could be made.But this film is lost in polemics, as is the case with almost every biopic and period drama today, observes Utkarsh Mishra.

Patna Shuklla's dull drama struggles to leave any impact, sighs Sukanya Verma.

Stand-up comedian Kapil Sharma is back with his show and while the set is bigger and the look is grander, the gags are still the same, feels Namrata Thakker.

Its callous perspective and comical treatment of a sensitive matter makes a complete hash of things, asserts Sukanya Verma.

Diljit Dosanjh's switch in singing style as he smoothly assumes Chamkila's vocal persona highlights the brilliance of his artistry, observes Sukanya Verma.

Vineeth Sreenivasan deserves applause for striving to blend the past with the present and revoking your memories, states Divya Nair.

There is startling accuracy to Dibakar Banerjee's portrayal, notes Sukanya Verma.

Ranneeti: Balakot And Beyond veers between intriguing and boring, observes Deepa Gahlot.

The Broken News 2 is worth watching because of Jaideep and Shriya's fabulous acting, recommends Namrata Thakker.

The film's focus lies in humanising a larger-than-life star and breaking down his celebrity, aimed at a simplistic takedown of the 'superstar' myth, observes Arjun Menon.

Rajkummar Rao does the best with what he is given and he ably elevates the generic story-telling. Too bad that his performance remains the only takeaway from such an inspiring real-life story, notes Mayur Sanap.

Such a set of greedy and amoral characters have seldom been assembled in a Web series, observes Deepa Gahlot.

If there is any actor who emerges from this wreck with his talent unscathed, it is Vijay Raaz, observes Deepa Gahlot.

The new season coasts along on the simple anecdotes that make up the piggy bank of family lore; the performances are as wonderful as before, but the sharpness of humour is starting to dull a bit, observes Deepa Gahlot.

Vikrant Massey is a man of undeniable talent. But he too can't rise above Blackout's derailed script that reduces the likes of Jisshu Sengupta, Chhaya Kadam and Mouni Roy to chumps, observes Sukanya Verma.

The Kalki Universe might just take off, but it will still owe its gee-whizery to Hollywood movies, observes Deepa Gahlot.

If this were a French farce, nobody would have batted an eyelid if the father of the groom and mother of the bride fell in love and wanted to marry. But here, some crude comedy is generated with a dash of melodrama, feels Deepa Gahlot.

Ishq Vishk Rebound is a drab romance and dull comedy that even the intended teen audience might have a hard time keeping up with, sighs Mayur Sanap.

The new season takes the students out of their preoccupation with studies to other problems -- jealousy of another's easy success, a blip in a romance, financial crunch, meltdowns, discovers Deepa Gahlot.

What makes Ullozhukku worth recommending is its ability to surrender to the surprises and yet grow with its characters, observes Divya Nair.

Prabhas may be the face of Kalki 2898 AD's heroics but the real bang for your buck is delivered in Amitabh Bachchan's indefatigable energy providing Kalki's biggest wolf-whistle moments, applauds Sukanya Verma.

Rautu Ka Raaz is a dragged-out slow burner of a film that just fails to ignite, sighs Mayur Sanap.
