Masala action is one genre where we seek entertainment and doesn’t really go after the logic of everything. But even that genre has got a considerable push over the time and directors like Shankar and Murugadoss has pushed the envelope to make it look compelling. Milap Milan Zaveri’s Satyameva Jayate is a movie that perhaps the… Continue reading Satyameva Jayate
Neeli
Neeli directed by debutante Althaf Rahman is a mixed bag. It tries to be a revenge drama and also a horror thriller where the title persona is looked at as a guardian angel. It has this confusion to be whether a pure genre film that explores horror or whether to be a genre mix by… Continue reading Neeli
The Meg
The Meg starring Jason Statham in the lead role is just another sea thriller that ambitiously tries to be another “Jaws” but due to lack of novelty falls flat by offering a few predictable scares that look good only visually. With a horribly clichéd plot getting executed without any element of surprise, this one is… Continue reading The Meg

Baring a few scenes that have… Continue reading Fanney Khan

But this one is beyond that and there was never a movie in the recent past that made me scratch my head out of fury… Continue reading Ghajinikanth
Iblis
There were people walking out, people blabbering and commenting throughout the film Iblis. I went in after knowing that Iblis was a fantasy film and came out as a pretty satisfied viewer and at the same time I felt disappointed at the way a section of the audience was resisting to surrender to the genre.… Continue reading Iblis
Karwaan
The Akarsh Khurana film Karwaan that marks Dulquer Salmaan’s debut to Hindi film industry is a breezy cheerful film that is somewhere familiar and yet engaging. Just like how we say Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is about the miseries of the wealthy or how some say Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani is a glossy take on… Continue reading Karwaan
