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

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.

Tiger 3 Review | Bhai Saves Pakistan and Democracy in This Guilty Pleasure Entertainer
Tiger 3 has a very peculiar packaging, considering the hate politics we see in Bollywood movies of late. SPOILER ALERT! It is actually the story of an Indian agent helping Pakistan to continue as a democracy. On paper, that thought is very inspiring as a mainstream potboiler trying to infuse some political awareness to the… Continue reading Tiger 3 Review | Bhai Saves Pakistan and Democracy in This Guilty Pleasure Entertainer
12th Fail Review | An All-Heart Motivational Drama With a Solid Emotional Core
A timely update to templates can always make them work for the audience if the emotions get translated through good writing and performances. 12th Fail, the new movie by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, is a testament to that. Chopra has taken a very cheesy and predictable drama that shows us the journey of an underdog. Yet,… Continue reading 12th Fail Review | An All-Heart Motivational Drama With a Solid Emotional Core
Tejas Review | A Green Screen Top Gun With the Political Sensitivity of a Gadar 2
One of the scenes in the movie Tejas that shows the title character’s early days in the Air Force Academy has a moment where the instructor asks whether anyone has any questions. Our leading lady stands up and asks when can I fly? It is almost as bizarre as an over-enthusiastic computer engineer asking his… Continue reading Tejas Review | A Green Screen Top Gun With the Political Sensitivity of a Gadar 2
