The Raja Saab Review Some movies start with a simple emotional hook and then slowly build a solid story around it. The Raja Saab also begins with something that could have been interesting: Prabhas’ dadi is searching for Prabhas’ dada—and that search becomes the starting point of the film. Sounds like a decent setup, right? But as the story moves ...
Ikkis Review War films usually make a promise: give the audience adrenaline early, keep the tempo high, and end with a heroic crescendo. Ikkis chooses a different route. It starts with strong character introductions and a quietly confident setup, then builds its emotional foundation before unleashing the kind of grounded, realistic combat that hits harder because you’ve lived with these ...
Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri Review There’s a very specific Bollywood mood that peaks around a big holiday release: glossy locations, big entrances, a soundtrack engineered for reels, and a love story that’s meant to feel “current” without alienating the widest possible audience. Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri arrives right in that lane—positioned as ...
Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 Review When “Repeat” Replaces “Refresh” Ten years is a long time in comedy. In 2015, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon introduced Kapil Sharma to the big screen with a full-blown confusion comedy about one man, three wives, and a pile of lies. A decade later, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 arrives… and within minutes it feels ...
Dhurandhar Review Dhurandhar opens with a bang. The first image of R. Madhavan as the IB Chief is as raw as it gets – rugged, no-nonsense, and instantly believable. The opening stretch feels exactly like something out of an Aditya Dhar film: dark, gritty, and dripping with suspense. The film quickly sets its tone using real-life tragedies as its backdrop ...
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 ...
