Physics has always stayed away from Rohit Shetty’s movies, and so I was very cautious to put my thinking cap in the dustbin before entering the theater. Now, the problem is, since he is making movies about terrorism, India’s history, etc., in his cop universe movies, you can’t really part ways with rationality and logic… Continue reading Singham Again Review | Valmiki Might Reincarnate Just to Renew His IP and Stop More Ramayana Adaptations

Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha Review | Neeraj Pandey’s Attempt at Romance Is Dated and Dented
Neeraj Pandey is a director who is mostly associated with fast-paced thrillers. Romance used to feel like a weak link in some of his movies. The Dhoni biopic was perhaps the only film in which I have felt that Neeraj Pandey had managed to depict romance in a convincing way. Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha,… Continue reading Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha Review | Neeraj Pandey’s Attempt at Romance Is Dated and Dented
Maidaan Review | The Glorious Final Hour Will Make You Overlook the Flaws of This Sports Drama
Back in 2007, when Shimit Amin’s Chak De India was released, it was the first time I experienced the theater becoming somewhat like a stadium (I wasn’t lucky enough to watch Lagaan on the big screen). There was something magical about the making of that Shah Rukh Khan starrer that everyone in the theater cheered… Continue reading Maidaan Review | The Glorious Final Hour Will Make You Overlook the Flaws of This Sports Drama
Shaitaan Review | An Unremarkable Horror Thriller With a Reveling Madhavan
The first and second act of the latest Ajay Devgn film, Shaitaan, is structured in a way that even though you won’t really feel the excitement with the way things unfold in the story, there will be that genuine curiosity to know how Vikas Bahl would take the movie forward as we would be looking… Continue reading Shaitaan Review | An Unremarkable Horror Thriller With a Reveling Madhavan
Bholaa Review | This Trident Overdose Completely Ignores the Craft of the Original
Why Kaithi from Lokesh Kanagaraj was a massive success had much to do with the unconventional packaging for a festival release. Kaithi clashed with Vijay’s crowd-pleaser Bigil, and it was devoid of a hero’s introduction song, romantic songs, side-track humor, etc. The hero Dilli was only a central tool in a story that used other… Continue reading Bholaa Review | This Trident Overdose Completely Ignores the Craft of the Original
Thank God Review | Thankfully, This Forgettable Fantasy Is Not a Patience Tester
Thank God from director Indra Kumar is a wannabe, feel-good movie with no plans to look fresh. Starring Ajay Devgn and Sidharth Malhotra in major roles, Thank God is a lazily written greenscreen comedy that had the scope to walk away from the template but chose to play it safe by having skit-level jokes. Ayaan… Continue reading Thank God Review | Thankfully, This Forgettable Fantasy Is Not a Patience Tester
Runway 34
When I saw the trailer of Runway 34, I was skeptical about its outcome because of how it was doing the image building of its main characters. Having seen the film, I would say actor-director Ajay Devgn has managed to strike a fair enough balance in creating a thriller that will keep you interested till… Continue reading Runway 34
Sooryavanshi
After a point, it becomes difficult to call a particular director’s movie as unimpressive as he has established himself as the director of a specific kind of movie. Sooryavanshi from Rohit Shetty is one more cop-action thriller that just wants to create loudness inside the theaters. Rohit Shetty has conditioned his audience over the years… Continue reading Sooryavanshi
