Reimagining epics is not a crime. We have seen Mani Ratnam creating Raavanan in a modern-day setup from the perspective of Raavan. Art is supposed to give that extra push or a different perspective. The new creation by Om Raut, Adipurush, reimagines Ramayan in the silliest way possible, and it was so bad that I… Continue reading Adipurush Review | Sitting Through This Mythological Mishap May Make You an Atheist

Bloody Daddy Review | This John Wickish Sleepless Night Is Not Great, but Fun
In comparison to Thoongaa Vanam, the other Indian remake of Sleepless Night, I would say the Shahid Kapoor starrer Bloody Daddy is very slick and peppy.

Fire in the Mountains Review | A Subtly Political Portrait of Underdeveloped India
Ajitpal Singh’s Fire in the Mountains works primarily because of its multiple layers. It has a subtle and satiric perspective about the claimed progress and actual progress.

Kacchey Limbu Review | A Compact Template Underdog Story With Sporadic Moments of Sweetness
The Radhika Madan starrer movie Kacchey Limbu, directed by Shubham Yogi, is not a film that can boast confidently about being unique. From the trailer itself, the format of the movie is pretty clear, and it is that typical underdog story. But what is nice about the film is that it is not pushing the… Continue reading Kacchey Limbu Review | A Compact Template Underdog Story With Sporadic Moments of Sweetness

The Kerala Story has been amid many controversies ever since its trailer dropped. And there was a major debate about the 32,000 number they referred to in the trailer.
