I.M.C.F Review
Coming as a remake to a successful film from 2012, this film does well in terms of matching its original version. The basic plot of the story is something like, a pizza delivery boy who gets stuck in a haunted house when he goes there to deliver a pizza is left only with a torch and a disconnected telephone. What all happen to him inside the house; how will he escape that horrific house and will he be able to have a stable life, post that traumatic incident, forms the basic story line.

Unlike the original version, the lead couple are happily married in this film. While Parvathy Omnakuttan is an improvement, Akshay Oberoi seems to be a major setback when compared to lead actors from earier version. Other than that, 3D effects have been fine and the horror moments have been common and predictable. This film's strength has always been the climax which is highly unpredictable. But it might thrill you or anger you big time, as all that you have seen in the film till then might turn the tables!

I.M.C.F Rating : 76/100
Direction : 7 : Starts on a slow pace but gets better.
Production Values : 7
Story/Plot : 7 : A predictable horror story with an unpredictable climax!
Cast Performances : 8 : Akshay Oberoi is the only one to be seen for most of the time. He did well, along with Parvathy Omnakuttan. Others did just fine.
Music : 8 : Both the Music and BGM have come out very well. Well suited!
Cinematography : 8
Editing/Screenplay : 7 : Screenplay is exciting up to an extent and in most parts. But lags in some areas!
3D effects : 8 : Have come out very well. For a horror film like this, they might be a major plus point!
Dialogues : 7
Awe Moment(s) : 9 : Like it or not, its definitely the climax!!

Scary bits get repetitive, but the end will surprise you.
Pizza 3D is scary but lacks the element of surprise.

I.M.C.F Review
A routine, yet entertaining DDLJ inspired romantic love story! We have seen many such films earlier and there nothing much new, but the presentation and pace of the film is very fine and will entertain you throughout. It all starts with Kavya (Ali bhatt) moving from her small town to Delhi on some purpose, which is silly, but also holds a lot of value for a Bride, which she is! She then encounters the friendship of Humpty (Varun), who is a cute, fun loving cheeky guy with two best friends, who are always there for him! Kavya is a fiesty girl and after certain exciting scenes, she falls in love with Humpty, for the type of simple and loving guy he is. The rest of the story is how Humpty and Kavya convince Kavya's parents and get married.

The story is pretty simple and obvious towards the climax that Kavya and Humpty will get married, no matter what. But how? Is the qustion. For the answer, you will have to go through this fun and romantic ride, with a spark of Modern DDLJ!

I.M.C.F Rating : 81/100
Direction : 8 : Plot is common, but the presentation is new and very Punjabi!
Production Values : 8 : Colorful film, but not a richly made one!
Story/Plot : 7 : Will belong to the category of 'Routine B'wood love stories', with cute emotions and simple love!
Cast Performances : 9 : Alia and Varun has been crackling. Performances by every actor has been remarkable.
Music : 8 : The album of this film is not quite exciting. 'Saturday song' is a bit fine, but that got confined to rolling credits.
Cinematography : 8 : Just fine.
Editing/Screenplay : 8 : Though the plot is simple, screenplay will get you running and entertaining.
Choreography : 7 : Not much choreography is seen in songs.
Dialogues : 9 : Most of the dialogues were hilarious. Some were pretty emotional too. Good mixture.
Awe Moment(s) : 9 : Humpty's gift of Lehnga and Kavya's gift of Car. Humpty's trial to win the hearts of Kavya's parents.

It's definitely not a modern day DDLJ, but it still ends up being an enjoyable romantic ride worth the price of its ticket.
With two terrific leads, the film works despite employing every predictable trope.

I.M.C.F Review
An entertaining Detective story! Bobby, an aspiring detective without an official job, decides to have her own Detective agency. As a detective, she gets a few cases from a person, to find certain people! She succeeds the first two times after various entertaining scenes and getup's! But she doubts that her client is doing something with the people she has searched for him. So, she decides to spy on her client itself. But towards climax, she understands certain truths about her client and the people whom she has searched for him.

Plot and Screenplay are gripping in an entertaining way. Direction is fine too, but the film got confined only to the Muslim territory of Hyderabad! Barely 2 songs are there throughout, and even BGM is just ok-ok! Other than that, the film is entertaining in its own way! Bobby Jasoos, definitely not sherlock holmes of B'wood, but to her little own area in Hyderabad? Definitely Yes!

Bobby might prove to be a good jasoos, but Bobby Jasoos has no clue about where it is going.
Bobby Jasoos relies entirely on its performances to keep it going.
