Satyaprem ki Katha feels like a film that was made with the idea of how one should make Amitabh Bachchan starrer Pink for those who loved watching every Housefull movie from Sajid Nadiadwala. And the script feels like a series of balancing act dialogues just to make things politically correct. With some Kapil Sharma jokes… Continue reading Satyaprem ki Katha Review | Too Much Masala Meets Broad-Stroke Messaging

Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar Review | Benevolent Sexism Packaged Cleverly as a Colorful Entertainer
Stories by Luv Ranjan always have that misogynistic tone that makes it easy for you to criticize the politics of the Punchnama-like entertainers, which are basically stretched-out versions of sexist WhatsApp jokes. When it comes to his latest venture Tu Joothi Main Makkaar, I must say that Luv Ranjan has tried to at least act… Continue reading Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar Review | Benevolent Sexism Packaged Cleverly as a Colorful Entertainer
Shehzada Review | A Dead on Arrival Remake That Nobody Asked For
First things first, I wasn’t a great admirer of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, and I found it a passable entertainer mainly because of the ease and grace with which Allu Arjun performed the central character.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2
Thanks to the only retained character from the original, Chhote Pandit, played by Rajpal Yadav, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has some occasional moments of laughter. Other than that, this Anees Bazmee sequel is just an assembled comedy that doesn’t seem to have any idea about the genre of the first part. Frankly, nobody expects anything spectacular… Continue reading Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2
Dhamaka
Dhamaka from Ram Madhvani is a film that is taking a lot of effort to feel like a sensible thriller. On paper, this adaptation of the 2013 Korean movie The Terror Live looks intriguing. But when it comes to the film, Ram Madhvani can’t really give enough space for the moral conflict of the hero.… Continue reading Dhamaka
Love Aaj Kal
I am that Imtiaz Ali fanboy who gets moved emotionally every time I see a film like Tamasha or Rockstar. The 2009 version of Love Aaj Kal was one of the most simplistic Imtiaz Ali movies that I don’t really adore much. Like most people, I was also disappointed seeing the trailer of his 2020… Continue reading Love Aaj Kal
