Tere Ishq Mein Review Anand L Rai returns to the world of painful, all-consuming love with Tere Ishq Mein, and this time he drags it from the lanes of romance into the corridors of power, cockpit of a fighter jet, and even UPSC exam halls. On paper, it sounds wild. On screen, it’s often gripping, sometimes illogical, but almost always ...
Mastiii 4 Review I walked into Mastiii 4 expecting a brainless comedy. I’m fine with silly, as long as it’s fun. But this film doesn’t just ask you to leave your brain at the door — it throws your logic, taste and basic sense of humanity out of the theatre completely. By the end, the only real “mastiii” was the ...
120 Bahadur Review War films are almost always emotional, but stories about heavily outnumbered soldiers carry a different kind of weight. 120 Bahadur builds itself around exactly that kind of premise: a small group of 120 Indian soldiers facing an enemy force of 3,000 during the 1962 conflict. On paper, it’s the kind of setup that promises an unforgettable, heroically ...
De De Pyaar De 2 Review De De Pyaar De 2 opens with a confident callback and then keeps zig‑zagging—witty, self‑aware, and surprisingly moving. It flirts with extremes (and occasionally normalizes them a bit too casually), sags a touch after the two‑hour mark, but pulls off a heartfelt, high‑voltage climax. Chatpate dialogues, ace performances from Ajay Devgn, R. Madhavan, and ...
Thamma Review The Setup The film opens on a very routine note—story beats and the leads’ entries feel functional rather than exciting. There’s momentum, but little spark. You get the sense early on that the ride will be more “okay-ish” than inspired. Craft & Visuals Let’s address the elephant (well, bear) in the room: the VFX bear looks distractingly rough. ...
Sunny Sanskari ki Tulsi Kumari Review There are some films that remind you why cinema is magic. And then there are films like Sunny Sanskari ki Tulsi Kumari that remind you why patience is a virtue. A Start That Never Takes Off The movie opens with Varun Dhawan channelling his Main Tera Hero days. For a brief moment, you expect ...
Jolly LLB 3 Review The opening in a local Rajasthani court immediately sets the right tone — authentic, raw, and far from the glossy hero entries Bollywood often depends on. The monologue that follows is goosebump-inducing, a reminder that this franchise takes itself seriously as cinema. It’s not just about the lawyer in the spotlight; it’s about the system, the ...
Nishaanchi Review The film opens in Kanpur, and you can smell the authenticity. The gallis, the slang, the people — nothing feels plastic. From the first frame, you know it’s an Anurag Kashyap movie. The dialogues are sharp, pure Kanpuriya, and they hit differently when someone like Durgesh Kumar (the Panchayat actor, here as a bank guard) delivers them. Even ...
Mirai Review Mirai starts with the Kalinga Yudh sequence, and from the very first frame, the VFX leaves you stunned. The scale, the detail, and the intensity make it clear that this is not just a standard action scene. This is a sequence crafted with love and research. Prabhas’s narration in the opening adds gravitas, immediately grounding you in the ...
Ek Chatur Naar Review The quick take Ek Chatur Naar opens on a grounded, realistic note and introduces a heroine built on guile more than brawn. Yet for a good stretch, the film struggles to pin you to your seat. The interval lands sharply, the second half finally leans into the story’s possibilities, and the climax springs not one but two ...
Baaghi 4 Review Imagine walking into a big-ticket action film and being greeted by… tears. Fifteen minutes in, Ronny is still crying, and the movie is still building “sadness.” Except it’s not sadness, it’s boredom. The camera clings to Tiger Shroff’s face as if the director made a rule: no frame without Tiger. The emotion doesn’t land, the modulation isn’t ...
Inspector Zende Review Some movies catch you off guard. Inspector Zende does exactly that. It throws you into a crime thriller that feels straight out of the 90s and then pulls the rug by adding comedy that actually works. The mix is bold, fresh, and exactly what Hindi cinema has been missing for a while. Manoj Bajpayee Steals the Show ...
