As I watched “A Bronx Tale” I found myself slowly being washed away into another world itself, experiencing a certain joy that only comes out of watching films about people and places that no longer exist.

There is so much to love in this film; it is written, directed, and acted with so much care. That it also features quirky and likeable characters with an intriguing storyline are even more reasons to go and watch this film.

The first half of “Jagame Thandiram” is a magnificently crafted gangster film that I loved, but the sloppy social messaging and heroizing of the second half ruins the film.
