The first half of the new Sriram Raghavan movie Merry Christmas is a deliberately bad love story. I was like, why is this looking so odd? How can this be the draft Sriram opted to film out of the various versions he wrote? The first half that sort of establishes this romantic relationship felt like… Continue reading Merry Christmas Review | Sriram Raghavan’s Slow-Burn Mystery Thriller Is a Delightful Cinematic Experience

Three of Us Review | Avinash Arun’s Film Is a Gentle Mix of Melancholy and Warmth
I would say the beauty of Avinash Arun Dhaware’s Three of Us lies in how it injects a sense of hope into the inherent melancholy of its characters. Even in those moments where the insecurity of some of the characters places the movie in a grey relationship drama sort of space, the aim is not… Continue reading Three of Us Review | Avinash Arun’s Film Is a Gentle Mix of Melancholy and Warmth
Kho Gaye Hum Kahan Review | A Timely Gen-Z Update of the Dil Chahta Hai OS
In terms of the structure in writing and the nature of conflicts between the main characters, I wouldn’t say the new Netflix original film Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, directed by Arjun Varain Singh, isn’t trying to achieve anything novel. The movie, co-written and produced by Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar, takes ample time to explore… Continue reading Kho Gaye Hum Kahan Review | A Timely Gen-Z Update of the Dil Chahta Hai OS
Dunki Review | Easily the Weakest Rajkumar Hirani Film With a Skimmed-Through Script
Of late, I have felt that the movies of Rajkumar Hirani have not aged well, as when you rewatch them, the loudness kind of sticks out. Yes, the humor in them has always helped them cover up the glossy and preachy messaging. When it comes to Dunki, he is very much sort of repeating the… Continue reading Dunki Review | Easily the Weakest Rajkumar Hirani Film With a Skimmed-Through Script
Kennedy Review | Anurag Kashyap’s Whacky Noir Thriller Is a Captivating Character Study
At one point in the movie Kennedy, the hero is confronted by his wife, and she tells him there is an Animal inside you, and that is dangerous for the family. For someone like me who saw Animal a week back from a theater, Anurag Kashyap’s Kennedy felt like a perfect reply for all those… Continue reading Kennedy Review | Anurag Kashyap’s Whacky Noir Thriller Is a Captivating Character Study
Sam Bahadur Review | Vicky Kaushal’s Phenomenal Performance Elevates This Biopic Above Its Generic Beats
I won’t say that on a writing level, the new Meghna Gulzar film Sam Bahadur is a phenomenal achievement. The movie, written by Meghna along with Shantanu Shrivastava and her Raazi collaborator Bhavani Iyer, has opted for a very linear format to capture the events in Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw’s official life. But towards the… Continue reading Sam Bahadur Review | Vicky Kaushal’s Phenomenal Performance Elevates This Biopic Above Its Generic Beats
Animal Review | Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Arjun Wick Is an Exhausting Overdose of Gore With a Towering Ranbir Kapoor
When the Arjun Reddy remake Kabir Singh was met with heavy flak from critics about the level of toxicity in that movie, Sandeep Reddy Vanga responded to all that by saying his idea of romance involves abuse, and he even said that with his next film, he will show the world/ critics what he can… Continue reading Animal Review | Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Arjun Wick Is an Exhausting Overdose of Gore With a Towering Ranbir Kapoor
Pippa Review | Flat Storytelling Meets Great Production Quality
Pippa, the new Raja Krishna Menon film, had opted for a direct OTT release through Amazon Prime Video. The movie is based on the 1971 war, and we see a significant episode in that war. While the film, especially in its initial parts, manages to create an impact through production design, the scale sort of… Continue reading Pippa Review | Flat Storytelling Meets Great Production Quality
