Set in the early ’80s, the retro setting and the freshness of the idea of an income tax raid of mammoth proportions made Raj Kumar Gupta’s 2018 film Raid a passable watch with some sporadic moments of smart heroism. It had a structure where the hero met the villain in the beginning, and then it… Continue reading Raid 2 Review | Ajay Devgn Starrer Is a Forgettable Rehash With a Scaled-up Setting

Jewel Thief Review | The Real Heist Is Somebody Convinced Netflix to Buy This Film
Even though Jewel Thief, the new Saif Ali Khan starrer, was released as an OTT original, when you watch the movie, you can clearly see that it had a theatrical design. The way the title cards are shown, the broad stroke writing, the end credit song, etc., gives you that idea, and the movie even… Continue reading Jewel Thief Review | The Real Heist Is Somebody Convinced Netflix to Buy This Film
Ground Zero Review | A Much-Needed, Less-Jingoistic Perspective Let Down by Hammy Writing
Ground Zero, the latest Bollywood film based on real-life military operations, comes at a time when the nation is mourning the loss of the lives of those tourists in Pahalgam. The release date of the film being this Friday is purely coincidental, and perhaps this timing sort of works in favor of the movie as… Continue reading Ground Zero Review | A Much-Needed, Less-Jingoistic Perspective Let Down by Hammy Writing
Kesari Chapter 2 Review | A Forgotten Hero Remembered With Crowd-Pleasing Theatrics
There are not many books or movies or references about barrister C. Sankaran Nair, and hence, when an Akshay Kumar movie was announced where he was playing a Malayali, which later went on to become a part of the Kesari franchise, many were ignorant about this individual. Even though we have all learned about the… Continue reading Kesari Chapter 2 Review | A Forgotten Hero Remembered With Crowd-Pleasing Theatrics
Jaat Review | The Fascinating Story of How a Plate of Idli Made Sunny Deol Restore Justice
Jaat, the latest Sunny Deol starrer that marks the debut of Telugu filmmaker Gopichand Malineni in Hindi, is the new addition to the list of mediocre mass films from Bollywood that is struggling to find its lost identity.

Sikandar Review | Salman Khan Unites People on Eid by Making Them Unanimously Laugh at His Film
Towards the very end of the movie, Sikandar, Salman Khan’s character, says “I don’t care” twice during an emotional scene. I felt that he was breaking the fourth wall and speaking to all those people who still think he will deliver. Looking at the quality of most of the recent Salman Khan movies, including the… Continue reading Sikandar Review | Salman Khan Unites People on Eid by Making Them Unanimously Laugh at His Film
Be Happy Review | Another ABCD With Same Mediocrity but Smaller Budget
Directed by Remo D’Souza, the man behind the ABCD movies, Be Happy, the new Amazon Prime Video film is an ultra generic dance+ motivation drama that almost felt like something Remo D’Souza developed from a scrapped fourth installment of his dance franchise. With the predictability and template structure of the story making things extremely cliched,… Continue reading Be Happy Review | Another ABCD With Same Mediocrity but Smaller Budget
The Diplomat Review | This One Tries to Be In John’s Body of Work Rather Than Using His Body to Work
Even though the tone of the latest John Abraham starrer, The Diplomat, has that gallery-pleasing dialogue bazi element in it, it sort of feels fresh because it is taking an effort to walk away from the deafening patriotic tones we are seeing nowadays. The Diplomat, written by Ritesh Shah and directed by Shivam Nair, is… Continue reading The Diplomat Review | This One Tries to Be In John’s Body of Work Rather Than Using His Body to Work
