I went into the theater to watch the latest Akshay Kumar movie Selfiee, and there were only 5 people with me watching this film. What made it a bit awkward was that the makers of the movie Selfiee had attached one footage at the beginning of the movie where Akshay Kumar thanked everyone for taking… Continue reading Selfiee Review | An Inferior Remake With a Superior Budget

Shehzada Review | A Dead on Arrival Remake That Nobody Asked For
First things first, I wasn’t a great admirer of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, and I found it a passable entertainer mainly because of the ease and grace with which Allu Arjun performed the central character. The movie was, in a way, a very daring attempt as the core idea on paper looked like a spoof of black-and-white… Continue reading Shehzada Review | A Dead on Arrival Remake That Nobody Asked For
Lost Review | Yami Gautam Starrer Is Compelling and Pertinent but Inconsistent
At its heart, Lost is a very political film that dissects the system and shows the unpleasant reality from a journalist’s perspective. There are sporadic phases in this thriller by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury that feels disturbing and absorbing. But the film feels a bit inconsistent due to its deliberate efforts to deviate into the personal… Continue reading Lost Review | Yami Gautam Starrer Is Compelling and Pertinent but Inconsistent
Pathaan Review | A Passable Action Entertainer That Celebrates Brand SRK
Every movie in the YRF Spy Universe has a template more inclined to celebrate its star actor by creating over-the-top action set pieces. Pathaan, the fourth movie in this universe, which also marks the return of Shah Rukh Khan after a 4-year break from film, is also a template action package that mixes patriotism with… Continue reading Pathaan Review | A Passable Action Entertainer That Celebrates Brand SRK
Chhatriwali Review | This “Reebook” Version of Vicky Donor Hardly Manages to Create Any Impact
Chhatriwali, the new Bollywood film starring Rakul Preet Singh in the central role, feels like a stretched-out government advertisement that wants to endorse safe sex by encouraging the use of condoms. But the movie directed by Tejas Deoskar has no original ideas to build a story around the theme. For almost 80% of its runtime,… Continue reading Chhatriwali Review | This “Reebook” Version of Vicky Donor Hardly Manages to Create Any Impact
Mission Majnu Review | Yet Another Jingoistic Espionage Thriller Drenched in Cliches
One thing that has always bewildered me in most of Bollywood’s over-the-top action espionage stories is how they spoon-feed the audience about how agencies like RAW operate. The new “Deshbhakthi” package, Mission Majnu, starring Sidharth Malhotra in the central role, is yet another jingoistic action drama soaked in age-old cliches. The terrible writing of the… Continue reading Mission Majnu Review | Yet Another Jingoistic Espionage Thriller Drenched in Cliches
Kuttey Review | A Black Comedy That Impresses You With Its Craft and Political Commentary
At two different points in the film Kuttey, two characters narrate fables. It is very obvious that these two stories are going to play a vital role in the shaping of this film. But what is exciting about Aasmaan Bhardwaj’s debut venture is the way he has placed these fables to achieve that black comedy… Continue reading Kuttey Review | A Black Comedy That Impresses You With Its Craft and Political Commentary
Cirkus Review | Two Ranveers and Too Many Colors Can’t Drag This Movie Out From Dullness
When Rohit Shetty joins hands with someone like Ranveer Singh, and Shetty offers him a double role with one of the characters having the nickname “electric man,” the movie is expected to be that deafening mass masala comedy formula. But surprisingly enough, the combination that was supposed to deliver a celebration ends up becoming a… Continue reading Cirkus Review | Two Ranveers and Too Many Colors Can’t Drag This Movie Out From Dullness
