• Amaran (2024)

    Amaran (2024)

    Amaran is based on the true life story of Major Mukund Vardharajan who succumbed to his injuries during a successful counter terrorism operation. However, the movie is more than just a tale of heroic exploits of a soldier. It is rather a more humane take…

  • Sikandar ka Muqaddar (2024)

    Sikandar ka Muqaddar (2024)

    Hansa: Aye Prafullll, I heard your new movie is playing on Netflix Praful: Yes Hansa, after a long long time. Hansa: And do you have a good role in it? Praful: I am there right from the first scene Hansa: Suparkkk Praful, so what is…

    Killer Heat (2024)

    Killer Heat opens with private detective Nick Bali (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) arriving on a picturesque Greek island to investigate the accidental death of a wealthy resident Leo Vardakis in a freak climbing accident. He has come at the behest of the deceased man’s sister-in-law Penelope (Shailene…

  • Venom: the Last Dance (2024)

    Venom: the Last Dance (2024)

    VENOMENAL? NOT QUITE. I rarely watch movies on the first day of its release. Yes, I do sometimes; usually Superstar Rajini’s movies (not all of them!), or something I got super-hyped waiting for—like The Batman (the new one). This time was a fluke thanks once…

  • 1000 Babies (2024)

    1000 Babies (2024)

    It’s gruesome, it’s horrifying, it’s terrifying and yet it tends to lose its grip. 1000 Babies starts off really well as it creates a web of intrigue backed by a melancholy setting about an old crazy woman who seems to have lost her mental balance.…

  • Khel Khel Mein (2024)

    Khel Khel Mein (2024)

    The plot is stolen (okay, adapted). Even the title is stolen from an old Rishi Kapoor movie. The star cast seems frivolous. The trailer made it look like a slapstick comedy. And it has Akshay Kumar. So basically I went about watching this movie with…

  • The Greatest of All Time (2024)

    The Greatest of All Time (2024)

    The Greatest Of All Times Vijay Fan: Machaa whatta movie daaa Non Vijay Fan: Which movie? VF: GOAT daaaa……whatta movie maccha….see it NVF: Saw it….what’s so great about it? VF: Thalapathy daaa……in action…..he looks so young NVF: Dude, seriously that’s CGI, they made him look…

  • Karkhanisanchi Waari (2020)

    Karkhanisanchi Waari (2020)

    There have been several movies about a funeral getting a dysfunctional family under one roof and there have been several movies based on a road trip. Mangesh Joshi merges the two situations and brings out this humorous tale of a weirdly bound joint family living…

  • Boston Strangler (2023)

    Boston Strangler (2023)

    STRANGLER DANGLER For those who don’t know about the infamous string of killings that shook Boston in the 1960s — 13 women killed in near-identical circumstances, all strangled to death with the bodies left decorated with a stocking bow tie around the neck — this…

  • Kill Boksoon (2023)

    Kill Boksoon (2023)

    KILLING TIME WITH KILLERS ‘Kill Boksoon’ builds promise right from the opening scene where two famous assassins face off near a railway track for a stylish yet anti-climatic (dark humour?) fight unto death. It then develops into a full-blown action melodrama that, well, somehow works.…

  • Bheed (2023)

    Bheed (2023)

    TO BHEED OR NOT TO BHEED As a person of so-called Dalit origins, I can’t help view movies that deal with the issue of caste and caste empowerment without a vicarious sense of representation. “Bheed” too was one such story. It depicts the omnipresent shroud…

  • Pathaan (2023)

    Pathaan (2023)

    Pathaan is called a “High Octane Spy Thriller” from the stables of Yash Raj Films and it proves to be every bit of it….. But first let’s get a few things out of the way…. The story is nothing more than a testosterone driven rehash…
