Ginny Weds Sunny

You really can’t cover-up bad writing by using actors who are extremely talented. The new Netflix release, Ginny Weds Sunny is one solid example of that. Vikrant Massey and Yami Gautam are easily among the finest talents in the Hindi film industry and this movie which in a way sees their entry to the “commercial”… Continue reading Ginny Weds Sunny

Khaali Peeli

From the trailer itself, it was very clear that Khaali Peeli is your run-of-the-mill masala entertainer. And the movie has no plans to confuse you with this tone of the film. The very first scene itself is that high-on-masala moment where the hero walks out of the jail in slow motion showing off his physique… Continue reading Khaali Peeli

Heavily jingoistic and largely with no elements of freshness, the only intention was to elate the nationalism in everyone. London… Continue reading London Confidential

Sadak 2

Sadak 2 marks the return of Mahesh Bhatt to the director’s chair after a 20-year-old break. But sadly the melodrama in his storytelling also was last seen 20 years ago. The sequel to the 1991 hit film has only one update that can be appreciated as an improvement, the cinematography. Other than that, this sequel… Continue reading Sadak 2
