Mrs Undercover Review | Radhika Apte Can’t Save This Lame and Confused Spy Comedy
I have seen Radhika Apte films that haven’t worked for me. But I could see particular possibilities that might have made her agree to those films, at least on a script level. But Mrs Undercover was perhaps the only film where I felt like, why on earth she decided to do a movie like this?… Continue reading Mrs Undercover Review | Radhika Apte Can’t Save This Lame and Confused Spy Comedy
Bholaa Review | This Trident Overdose Completely Ignores the Craft of the Original
Why Kaithi from Lokesh Kanagaraj was a massive success had much to do with the unconventional packaging for a festival release. Kaithi clashed with Vijay’s crowd-pleaser Bigil, and it was devoid of a hero’s introduction song, romantic songs, side-track humor, etc. The hero Dilli was only a central tool in a story that used other… Continue reading Bholaa Review | This Trident Overdose Completely Ignores the Craft of the Original

What was… Continue reading Bheed Review | A Monochromatic Gaze at a Harsh Political Reality

Stories by Luv Ranjan always have that misogynistic tone that makes it easy for you to criticize the politics of the Punchnama-like entertainers, which are basically stretched-out versions of sexist WhatsApp jokes. When it comes to his latest venture Tu Joothi Main Makkaar, I must say that Luv Ranjan has tried to at least act… Continue reading Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar Review | Benevolent Sexism Packaged Cleverly as a Colorful Entertainer
Gulmohar Review | A Moving Dysfunctional Family Drama That Has Its Heart in the Right Place
Sometimes when there are a series of poorly made films, and you write these reviews saying they are outdated, cheesy, cliched, melodramatic, etc., a part of you tends to wonder whether you are canceling a whole genre saying it all should look realistic. Rahul V. Chittella’s Gulmohar was a relief and delight for me in… Continue reading Gulmohar Review | A Moving Dysfunctional Family Drama That Has Its Heart in the Right Place
