The Buckingham Murders (2024)
Okay, first of all, let me say that someone who can make an awesome Biryani or a fantastic cake is perfectly capable of making a terrible Sabudana Khichadi. So when, Hansal Mehta, who made Shahid and Citylights makes Buckingham Murders you shouldn’t hold that against…

Do Patti (2024)
DO PATTI, BUT EK NA CHALI!Do Patti scores top marks for me as one of the worst A-lister Hindi films I have seen in recent times. I like both Kriti Sanon and Kajol as very capable actors, but Do Patti is that one film that…

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…

Stree 2 (2024)
Stree 2 is the 4th installment in the Maddock Supernatural Universe, directed by Amar Kaushik. And as things would have it, the supernatural universe gets worse and worse. The movie is one more entry into the genre of “horror-comedy” where the horror is funny and…

Kooki (2023)
(Trigger Warning – Reference to Rape) “Why is rape not considered as a heinous crime?” Pranab J. Deka repeatedly asks you this question through his movie and refuses to move further. Kooki is a movie on rape, about rape and everything that surrounds a rape…

Auron Mein kahan Dum Tha (2024)
I will begin by saying that Neeraj Pandey deserves a huge round of applause for making this movie. It takes some serious courage to think that the viewers of the 21st century are a bunch of morons. And this sort of courage shouldn’t go unappreciated.…

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…
