When the trailer of Shakuntala Devi dropped, there was this criticism for making it way too cheerful with songs and dance. And then there was this counter-argument of why are we so adamant that biopic should be dark and moody. Well, to be honest, I am thankful to the people who raised both these arguments.… Continue reading Shakuntala Devi

Up to date and articulated reviews of Hindi movies based on the quality of entertainment of each one. Visit here and decide which movie is going to make you feel worth spending your time and money.
Yaara
The long-delayed Yaara directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia which is now available on Zee 5 is a tasteless gangster drama that can’t evoke any sense of depth. This official remake of the French movie A Gang Story (Les Lyonnais) is placed in an era before the internet revolution. Yaara wants to show a lot of things… Continue reading Yaara
Dil Bechara
It was sure when they released that trailer that Dil Bechara is not going to be a comfortable watch as we may end up struggling to distinguish between the character and the actor. Dil Bechara, directed by Mukesh Chhabra, the official Hindi adaptation of the book The Fault in Our Stars written by John Green… Continue reading Dil Bechara
Bulbbul
Bulbbul from Anvita Dutt, the new Netflix original film produced by Anushka Sharma, is an odd horror film. It is actually not your usual horror story with suspense and twists.

Axone
In the last few years, we have seen Anubhav Sinha reinventing himself with issue-based films such as Mulk, Article 15, Thappad, etc. The reason why those films managed to get acclaim and acceptance was that they effectively served the purpose of telling a story and at the same time shedding light on an issue. The… Continue reading Axone
Gulabo Sitabo
In comparison with the other films that we have seen from the combination of Juhi Chaturvedi and Shoojit Sircar Gulabo Sitabo is a light film with lesser impact. Just like I said, this is in comparison with the other films from the duo. Gulabo Sitabo is a slowly paced comedy that showcases simple things like… Continue reading Gulabo Sitabo
Choked
The treatment of the movie Choked felt like it wants to shift the gears from third to fourth but never really got that clean stretch to make that shift. The new Anurag Kashyap movie will leave you wanting for more excitement in the tale. The build-up here is clever and it has multiple elements that… Continue reading Choked
