When asked about their criterion for picking a subject, writer duo Bobby and Sanjay recently said in an interview that they will choose only those subjects that sort of come back to them without losing the element of excitement. I am talking about this writer duo because the latest film from director KK Rajeev, Evidey’s… Continue reading Evidey
Spider-Man Far From Home
Spider-Man Far From Home may not feel like a game changer. But it definitely gives you hope that the MCU has some interesting plans for the future. The new movie has this feel of a mix of a teen movie and a superhero movie. But because of the emotional baggage Peter Parker has with the… Continue reading Spider-Man Far From Home

I have to say that this franchise is losing its charm as the horror movie traits are getting repeated frequently and we don’t feel any uniqueness to these films. Like almost all… Continue reading Annabelle Comes Home

But what he was before that and the way this film tries to justify his behavior is an extremely difficult thing to digest. And what is… Continue reading Kabir Singh
And The Oscar Goes To
If you are someone who had the least of expectations seeing the lackluster promos of the new Salim Ahmed movie And the Oscar Goes To, I must tell you that the movie isn’t that terrible. In fact, I felt it as that slightly above average film which had the potential to be an inspiring tale… Continue reading And The Oscar Goes To
