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.

Firstly, this is directed by… Continue reading Ganapath Review | This Green Screen Garbage Is a Multi-Level Endurance Test

Mission Raniganj Review | A Boring Disaster Film Flooded With Biopic Clichés

65 mine workers are trapped inside, and Akshay Kumar’s Jaswanth Singh Gill comes on the mic and tells them the reason why they were not intimated about the presence of poisonous gas was that they would get tensed and their faces would end up looking like Poori. I am not making this up. If this… Continue reading Mission Raniganj Review | A Boring Disaster Film Flooded With Biopic Clichés

Khufiya Review | This Spy Thriller Consistently Gives You Hope but Can’t Really Deliver

Khufiya from Vishal Bhardwaj, his second OTT release in a span of one week, is pretty eventful when you look at the script. It is something that I felt could have really looked enticing as a series, as it had some really peculiar characters and interesting interpersonal dynamics. Based on Escape to Nowhere by Amar Bhushan, Khufiya is… Continue reading Khufiya Review | This Spy Thriller Consistently Gives You Hope but Can’t Really Deliver
