When I watched the trailer of the film Fighter, the overdose of hyper-nationalism, especially the dialogue about IOP (India Occupied Pakistan) made me wonder whether I will be watching a sophisticated version of Gadar in this Siddharth Anand film. Well, there is no denying the fact that the movie is playing to the gallery to… Continue reading Fighter Review | Siddharth Anand’s Sophisticated-Gadar Is Surprisingly Not Bad

Main Atal Hoon Review | A Selectively Curated Propaganda Package, Featuring a Standout Pankaj Tripathi
As someone who grew up in the ’90s, I remember Atal Bihari Vajpayee as a political figure who was always standing up for ideas of love and peace. Some have even called him the “right man in the wrong party.” The underwhelming part about the new movie Main Atal Hoon is that the peace-seeking, love-endorsing,… Continue reading Main Atal Hoon Review | A Selectively Curated Propaganda Package, Featuring a Standout Pankaj Tripathi
Merry Christmas Review | Sriram Raghavan’s Slow-Burn Mystery Thriller Is a Delightful Cinematic Experience
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
