Jigra Review | A Melodramatic Burnout With a Superb Alia Bhatt
In the earlier portions of the movie Jigra, we see an unflinching Alia Bhatt handling multiple responsibilities with great precision and almost in a very emotionless manner.

Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba Review | A Sequel Filled With Contrived Twists and Cheesy Lines
Haseen Dillruba, released in 2021 on Netflix, was a tweaked Sahib Biwi aur Gangster template that was ultimately a passable watch. When it comes to the sequel, rather than focusing on the grayness of the characters and the possible dilemma because of the morality associated with the main character, the storytelling goes for a very on-your-face… Continue reading Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba Review | A Sequel Filled With Contrived Twists and Cheesy Lines
