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
Bawaal Review | A Hollow Relationship Drama That Unnecessarily Drags the Holocaust Into It
Bawaal, directed by Nitesh Tiwari, is one movie that got stuck on an abstract level. The movie’s teaser really amused and confused the audience as we got glimpses of the second world war towards the end, and I must say that the underwhelming trailer kind of gave us an idea about what could possibly be… Continue reading Bawaal Review | A Hollow Relationship Drama That Unnecessarily Drags the Holocaust Into It
Blind Review | A Creatively Bland Adaptation That Strips off Intrigue From the Original
The dangerous close-to-death encounters of a psychopath and a blind woman were what made the 2011 Korean film Blind a very compelling thriller. But when it comes to the 2023 Hindi version, starring Sonam Kapoor, Blind is pretty much bland as they have chopped off almost all the intricacies one felt in the story. With… Continue reading Blind Review | A Creatively Bland Adaptation That Strips off Intrigue From the Original
Tarla Review | A Typical Feel-Good Biopic With Broad Strokes of Optimism
When you are making a biopic about Tarla Dalal, the famous Indian food writer, and chef, there is this woke, problematic aspect of whether you should celebrate an idea that benevolently restricts women to the kitchen. But what appealed to me in this emotionally loud, feel-good drama was how they tried really hard to interpret… Continue reading Tarla Review | A Typical Feel-Good Biopic With Broad Strokes of Optimism
Neeyat Review | A Lousy Thriller With a Familiar Trajectory and Predictable Punches
The aspiration of the Anu Menon thriller Neeyat is to give a what-if interpretation to the whole Vijay Mallya story. But the character detailing and the progression of events are so plastic that you absolutely feel nothing when the film acts like it has revealed some suspense that you didn’t see coming. With Kausar Munir’s… Continue reading Neeyat Review | A Lousy Thriller With a Familiar Trajectory and Predictable Punches
Lust Stories 2 Review | The Mirror and the Grandmother Win Your Heart in This Mixed-Bag Package
Like any other anthology that has been released on OTT platforms in the post-corona scenario, Lust Stories 2 is also a mixed bag of contents. While Konkona Sen Sharma’s segment soared above the others in terms of the way it approached many layers within a minimal time, Sujoy Ghosh’s attempt to add a fantasy layer… Continue reading Lust Stories 2 Review | The Mirror and the Grandmother Win Your Heart in This Mixed-Bag Package
