Freddy, the new Kartik Aaryan film, is a thriller that consistently gives you hope that it will offer something fresh but maintains consistency in letting you down. Clocked at roughly two hours, this story of a psychopath dentist runs out of ideas and looks like a hastily developed OTT subject that isn’t bothered about the… Continue reading Freddy Review | A Thriller That Maintains Consistency in Letting You Down

Babli Bouncer
If I had no clue that Madhur Bhandarkar directed Babli Bouncer, it would have been just one of those forgettable comedies for me. Seeing the sheer blandness in the new Tamannaah Bhatia starrer, one would wonder how a national award-winning director like Bhandarkar thought this was enough to entertain people. With shoddy writing and shallow… Continue reading Babli Bouncer
Cuttputlli
When I hear the song Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast, it somewhere takes me to those childhood memories of watching it on Doordarshan.

Nna Thaan Case Kodu, from director Ratheesh Balakrishnan Poduval, may not be similar… Continue reading Nna Thaan Case Kodu

I am not saying all of them were like that. But the good thing about the Hotstar special Ghar Waapsi is that it takes… Continue reading Ghar Waapsi
19(1)(a)
19(1)(a), the new Malayalam film from debutant Indhu VS is a genuine attempt to tell society about the relevance of being political. Even though it is questioning the autocratic right-wing rule, there is an effort to showcase how a political mind differs from others. The only major issue with the movie is the intensity of… Continue reading 19(1)(a)
