If you are someone who is okay with unappealing filmmaking if the story is based on actual events and has pertinence, then I would say Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai, aka Bandaa, starring Manoj Bajpayee will work for you as a moving legal drama.

Gulmohar Review | A Moving Dysfunctional Family Drama That Has Its Heart in the Right Place

Mrs. Serial Killer
An overacting Jacqueline Fernandez torturing us for roughly two hours and watching a talented actor like Manoj Bajpayee getting tortured in a horrendous movie for two hours is what Mrs. Serial Killer in a nutshell for me. Writer, director, editor, producer, composer Shirish Kunder is trying hard to make it look like some kind of… Continue reading Mrs. Serial Killer
Naam Shabana
Baby in a way was Bollywood’s own secret agent MI 6 kind of film which garnered wide appreciation due to its engaging pace, the swiftness and smartness in its narrative. The character of Shabana played by Taapsee Pannu in the film made an impression as she had some stunt sequences in the film and she… Continue reading Naam Shabana
