Jawan Review | Atlee’s Bloated Lion King Struggles to Hold Together

It was pretty clear from the trailer that Shah Rukh Khan was playing a double role in Jawan and that too of Father and Son. The idea is basically Lion King and Atlee uses all his and his fellow directors’ themes in this package. Atlee is not a director who is known for presenting novel… Continue reading Jawan Review | Atlee’s Bloated Lion King Struggles to Hold Together

Friday Night Plan Review | This Breezy Slim Version of Kapoor & Sons Is Enjoyable in Parts

The movie Friday Night Plan narrates the events happening in the life of two brothers in a span of 24 hours. It’s not a movie that you might necessarily say is fresh, and there are a lot of inspirations you can see from all those Hollywood teen comedies. But somewhere, I felt a relatability element… Continue reading Friday Night Plan Review | This Breezy Slim Version of Kapoor & Sons Is Enjoyable in Parts

Dream Girl 2 Review | A Shoddy Script Stuffed With Comedy Circus-Level One-Liners

Dream Girl, the Raaj Shaandilyaa film released in 2019, had an interesting conflict despite the content having many problematic bits here and there. But when it comes to Dream Girl 2, the writing part just focuses on being a 2-hour long skit, and the storytelling is horrifyingly bad. It’s like the makers have made up… Continue reading Dream Girl 2 Review | A Shoddy Script Stuffed With Comedy Circus-Level One-Liners

Ghoomer Review | Performances Make Balki’s Over-The-Top Iqbal a Pleasing Watch

R Balki’s latest film Ghoomer kind of works on an emotional level because of the basic theme of not giving up and showing resilience. Regarding craft and writing, the movie is very much in a familiar space, and if you are someone like me who is a massive fan of Nagesh Kukunoor’s Iqbal, Ghoomer would… Continue reading Ghoomer Review | Performances Make Balki’s Over-The-Top Iqbal a Pleasing Watch

OMG 2 Review | Pankaj Tripathi and Gallery-Pleasing Humor Make This Sex-Education Class Watchable

When you look at the story of OMG 2, the new Pankaj Tripathi starrer with an extended cameo by Akshay Kumar, the title and the sequel-like placement feels a bit inappropriate.

Gadar 2 Review | Sunny Deol Won This Screaming Competition as the Craft Went Into a Coma

Some movies are hits because the cinematic sensibilities of the times they were released were totally different. In 2001 when Gadar: Ek Prem Katha was released, the syntax of the commercial movie itself was different. Movies evolved so much that Gadar almost became troll material for the kind of exaggerations it had. When it comes… Continue reading Gadar 2 Review | Sunny Deol Won This Screaming Competition as the Craft Went Into a Coma

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani Review | The Balancing Act of Woke Sensibilities and Karan Johar Glitz

Looking at the glitz and set-like grandeur of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, you might actually feel that Karan Johar might just recreate a shallow Student of the Year kind of film. But this redecorated classic Bollywood formula is surprisingly entertaining thanks to the charming chemistry of the lead pair along with Johar’s self-critiquing… Continue reading Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani Review | The Balancing Act of Woke Sensibilities and Karan Johar Glitz

Trial Period Review | An Instantly Forgettable Feel-Good Template

Trial Period is one film that doesn’t really know whether it should consider itself a kids’ movie or a proper romantic comedy. With a bizarre thought getting presented without much conviction and along with a ton of genre cliches, this predictable two-hour-long feel-good exercise is an instantly forgettable creation. Ana is a Bengali single mother… Continue reading Trial Period Review | An Instantly Forgettable Feel-Good Template
