Mulk Movie Review
Not that it broaches everything that there is to say about Islamophobia and its terrible repercussions - in fact, it really isn't possible for a single 140-minute film to cover all the dimensions of the theme - but...
Review: Mission Impossible Fallout
Tom Cruise's inspiring dedication to daredevilry is the backbone of the Mission Impossible series. Many jaw-dropping, eye-popping, spectacles have come off it unswervingly, unbelievably. In the age of instant gratification and waning memory, the greatest challenge is to rouse repeat value. Ethan Hunt's...
Dhadak Movie Review
The film gets neither the love story nor the socio-political context of Sairat right.

Soorma review: Diljit Dosanjh ups his game!

Review: Jurassic World 2
Steven Spielberg's ingenuity and vision in building a world of prehistoric awe and scale made us care. At the heart of its spectacle, Jurassic Park (1993) had something valid to say about man's tendency to tamper with nature. There are scores...

Avengers Infinity War Review: Villain Takes It All
Evil is a point of view. This contentious claim by Anne Rice in her book, Interview with the Vampire returns to haunt me as I hear out Thanos rationalising wiping out half the universe's population to restore balance. His voice (Josh Brolin's...
Nanu Ki Jaanu Movie Review
Nanu Ki Jaanu is an experimental film that ends up becoming way too adventurous. It is good when a filmmaker tries to tell a new story. Yes, it’s the remake of a film down South but still for an all-India...

Hichki Review : Too many hiccups spoil the narrative
A novel plot idea is buried under an avalanche of narrative cliches in Hichki. In her comeback film, Rani Mukerji gives the role of a Tourette Syndrome-afflicted teacher all she has. Full marks there! However, Hichki, directed by Siddharth P...
Devgn doesn’t clobber a single soul in Raid
When Ajay Devgn promises to wring out 'poora' Rs 420 crore from a sordid politician, there will be fireworks. But to my surprise, Devgn doesn't clobber a single soul in Raid -- not when his wife is hurt, not when...

PadMan review: If only it had wings
"Although the treatment is understated if compared to Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, its feminist hero ethos -- Ek aurat ki hifazat mein nakamiyab aadmi apne aap ko mard kaise keh sakta hai? -- are almost identical. Menstruation is seldom a part...
