Kanika Dhillon, the writer and co-producer of the new Netflix film Do Patti, is someone who has written some of the interesting female characters in the last decade or so in movies like Manmarziyan and Judgemental Hai Kya. But of late, I have felt that her fascination with making liberated and raw female characters has… Continue reading Do Patti Review | Ekta Kapoor Serial-Like Sensibilities but on a Bigger Budget

Crew Review | Second-Half Turbulence Restricts This Fun Comedy From Being Hilarious
Director Rajesh Krishnan’s first film, Lootcase, was a crackling comedy that really made me laugh during those dark lockdown days. The latest Hindi film Crew, starring Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Kriti Sanon in lead roles, is the latest directorial from him. While the movie is a comedy that starts off really smoothly establishing the… Continue reading Crew Review | Second-Half Turbulence Restricts This Fun Comedy From Being Hilarious
Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya Review | A Fun Human Robo Rom-Com With an Underdeveloped Central Conflict
The reason why something like Android Kunjappan worked for me was the fact that it was able to address various aspects of a robot entering our routine life. From the obvious humor to the emotional impact such an unemotional entity creates in our minds was presented very sensibly in that film. When it comes to… Continue reading Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya Review | A Fun Human Robo Rom-Com With an Underdeveloped Central Conflict
Ganapath Review | This Green Screen Garbage Is a Multi-Level Endurance Test
Sitting through Ganapath, the new Tiger Shroff movie, is pretty difficult because they have taken the audience for granted in a very arrogant way. I actually found myself in a very baffled situation as the names and claims of the movie had no connection with what I saw on screen. Firstly, this is directed by… Continue reading Ganapath Review | This Green Screen Garbage Is a Multi-Level Endurance Test
Adipurush Review | Sitting Through This Mythological Mishap May Make You an Atheist
Reimagining epics is not a crime. We have seen Mani Ratnam creating Raavanan in a modern-day setup from the perspective of Raavan. Art is supposed to give that extra push or a different perspective. The new creation by Om Raut, Adipurush, reimagines Ramayan in the silliest way possible, and it was so bad that I… Continue reading Adipurush Review | Sitting Through This Mythological Mishap May Make You an Atheist
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. The movie was, in a way, a very daring attempt as the core idea on paper looked like a spoof of black-and-white… Continue reading Shehzada Review | A Dead on Arrival Remake That Nobody Asked For
Bachchhan Paandey
If the script is interesting, then even a bad filmmaker won’t be able to mess it up. This is a statement I have heard many people say in interviews. Well, the new film Bachchhan Paandey from Akshay Kumar has the potential to make those people rethink that statement. Bachchhan Paandey is very much a scene-by-scene… Continue reading Bachchhan Paandey
Hum Do Hamare Do
Hum Do Hamare Do, directed by Abhishek Jain, feels more like an assembled urban comedy than a genuine effort to explore any emotion. There are absolutely no surprises here in terms of writing, and some of the sequences are badly overwritten to have that typical Hindi movie melodrama. The excellent cast of the film is… Continue reading Hum Do Hamare Do
