Ratsasan
Ratsasan has a length of almost 3 hours. And guess what? You won’t feel like the movie is becoming overlong. Every time the movie goes towards further development of the plot, you sort of gets intimidated by what could possibly make things worse and the movie offers one more gripping episode to the tale. Even though it has flaws, watching Ratsasan almost… Continue reading Ratsasan
Venom
Looking at the way Tom Hardy has tried to give life to his character Eddie Brock, calling Venom as a bad film would be too harsh in my opinion. Venom is a disappointing film that fails to utilize someone like Tom Hardy. In bits, you would enjoy Venom. But once you finish watching the movie,… Continue reading Venom

But the initial story is so generic that you won’t feel the need for the story to be… Continue reading Mandharam

The less than 90 minutes long movie does offer moments of laughter to its viewers. But the longevity of… Continue reading Johnny English Strikes Again
Sui Dhaaga
Sui Dhaaga, Sharat Khatariya’s third film after Dum Laga Ke Haisha, is based on a template generic script. You can sense a lot of patterns in the scripting that we have seen in films about entrepreneurs. But despite all those seemingly negative things I loved the film because of its earnestness. Sui Dhaaga isn’t novel… Continue reading Sui Dhaaga
