My expectations were spectacularly low for the movie Missing Girl, as the film’s trailer clearly showed the amateurishness in the making. Compared to what they made me anticipate from the film, I would say the actual film looked better. Having said that, the film is still one lazy and sloppy work with nothing new to… Continue reading Missing Girl Review | A Lot More Than a Girl Is Missing From This Movie

Good Night Review | A Lively and Relatable Comedy That Puts a Smile on Your Face
Even though the final act of the new Tamil movie Good Night is a bit flimsy in comparison to the rest of its content, this movie from Vinayak Chandrasekaran is perhaps one of the few films that made me laugh out loud with subtle humor in the recent past. The core conflict is about how… Continue reading Good Night Review | A Lively and Relatable Comedy That Puts a Smile on Your Face
The Little Mermaid Review | A Live-Action Adaptation With Stunning Visuals and a Bloated Script
My memories of watching the animated film The Little Mermaid are very vague. The latest version, directed by Rob Marshall, did create a bit of curiosity as it was a live-action adaptation of the 1989 film. Reviewing a movie like this is a bit of a tricky thing as I clearly didn’t belong to the… Continue reading The Little Mermaid Review | A Live-Action Adaptation With Stunning Visuals and a Bloated Script
Live Review | A Bland Rhetoric About Bad Journalism
TRP-seeking journalism and its demonic side is like an everyday phenomenon these days, and there is no question about whether a movie like Live is really needed. The film Live, directed by VK Prakash and written by Suresh Babu, is a very filmy and slightly exaggerated criticism of the unethical journalism prevalent in our country.… Continue reading Live Review | A Bland Rhetoric About Bad Journalism

One of the major problems I immediately sensed about the movie Thrishanku was how its trailer was cut. They revealed the plot in the trailer itself, and hence sitting through the initial 30 minutes of this 110 minutes long film felt a bit awkward as I found myself trying to act like I was surprised.… Continue reading Thrishanku Review | A Wannabe Priyadarshan Comedy That Never Really Took Off
Bandaa Review | Manoj Bajpayee Single-Handedly Saves This Filmy Legal Drama

Kathal Review | A Timely Satire That Needed a Tidier Script
The new Netflix film Kathal, starring Sanya Malhotra in the lead role, is a mixed-bag satire that couldn’t fully utilize its satiric potential. Even though it is sharp in criticizing the people in power for their double standards and insensitivity, the confusion on whether to make it a true blue satire causes a bit of… Continue reading Kathal Review | A Timely Satire That Needed a Tidier Script
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
