Parmanu

John Abraham was the man who produced a solid movie named Madras Café and his director Shoojit Sircar made it such an authentic and well detailed fiction based on a true event. John comes again with a based on true story material and this time it is Parmanu, the story about the efforts that were… Continue reading Parmanu

Raazi

The starting portions of Raazi made me feel like am I in for another glorified tale about patriotism? But luckily that wasn’t the case with Meghna Gulzar’s Raazi. Even though it started off with a patriotic theme, the struggle it ultimately shows us is the one fought by some people who weren’t officially acknowledged for… Continue reading Raazi

102 Not Out

Hichki from Sidharth… Continue reading Hichki

Pari

Pari starring Anushka Sharma is a horror film that isn’t entirely typical. It’s not devoid of the horror genre clichés like the tricks one use to scare the audience. But the emotional conflict it has got makes it a more interesting movie and even though it has a revenge agenda, it feels like it has… Continue reading Pari
