Raksha Bandhan

Writers who are totally ignorant of society’s changes in gender-oriented debates can only write something like Raksha Bandhan. The new Anand L Rai film written by Himanshu Sharma and Kanika Dhillon is that ’80s movie that time traveled to 2022. This 110 minutes long Beti Padhao Burden Hatao ad campaign is the movie equivalent of… Continue reading Raksha Bandhan

Cadaver

One thing I find very awkward about certain investigative thriller movies is that in order to spoonfeed the audience about a particular procedure or share a piece of information, they will always make a cop or someone of similar responsibility look like an absolute idiot.

Darlings

But unfortunately, it isn’t, and that’s one of the major issues with… Continue reading Jaadugar

Khuda Haafiz: Chapter 2-Agni Pariksha

Since the Nirbhaya incident happened, protecting women has been that safe bet plot for many lousy films as they can justify the film by claiming it to be pertinent. Khuda Haafiz: Chapter 2-Agni Pariksha, the sequel to the 2020 movie starring Vidyut Jamwal, tastelessly goes after this savior-mode rape-revenge story hoping the audience will fall… Continue reading Khuda Haafiz: Chapter 2-Agni Pariksha
