Param Sundari Review If apps could really predict soulmates, weddings would end up looking like OTP verifications. Param Sundari tries to stretch that very idea into a full-fledged rom-com. On paper, it sounds like the kind of quirky setup Bollywood could run with. But on screen, it plays out like a confused PowerPoint pitch — one that replaces charm with ...
Coolie Review The wait was long, but the payoff was worth every second. Coolie opens with the kind of Rajnikanth entry that makes the theater walls vibrate. It is not because of noise, but because of presence. That slow-burn build, the swagger, the realism, it’s an entry that doesn’t just arrive, it lands. And from that very moment, Anirudh’s background ...
War 2 Review YRF’s spy universe is supposed to keep expanding, but with War 2, it feels like they simply hit “copy-paste” on the first War script, shuffled a few things around, and hoped we wouldn’t notice. Unfortunately, we noticed. The film wants to be a slick action thriller. Instead, it’s like watching an overcaffeinated stunt reel that keeps forgetting ...
Son of Sardaar 2 Review When a film begins with a literal bang, you’d expect the momentum to carry through. Son of Sardaar 2, which opens with an unexpected news in Canada, tries to replicate the high-octane comedy-action flavor of its predecessor. However, despite a promising start and a few memorable moments, the film falters under the weight of clumsy ...
Dhadak 2 Review: A Promising Start That Trips Over Tropes Dhadak 2 opens with a murder—an intense, dark premise that hints at a layered narrative. But just as the tension begins to brew, the film makes a jarring transition into a playful ankh-micholi (hide-and-seek) sequence as Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi’s characters are introduced. This tonal whiplash sets the stage ...
The Fantastic Four: First Steps Review When Marvel Went Cosmic — and Got Sentimental The Fantastic Four: First Steps had every reason to be electric. A new timeline. A long-awaited reintroduction of Marvel’s First Family. A setup so rich in potential it practically wrote itself. Instead, what we got felt like a genre experiment — part cosmic opera, part soap ...
Murderbaad Review A Running Start in Jaipur Murderbaad opens with Sharib Hashmi sprinting through the streets of Jaipur. The urgency is there, but the purpose isn’t. The scene throws us into motion without providing any real context, making the opening more disorienting than gripping. The visuals are grounded, but the storytelling hasn’t caught up yet. A Low-Key Character Setup It’s ...
Tanvi The Great Review Releasing on July 18th, 2025, “Tanvi The Great” promised a unique narrative, and while it delivers some truly poignant moments, its ambition ultimately seems to derail its initial promise. This review delves into the film’s highs and lows, directly reflecting a viewer’s real-time experience. A Promising Start: Authenticity and Debut Brilliance From the very first scene, ...
Maalik Review Well, folks, another Friday, another Bollywood release. And this time, I subjected myself to “Maalik,” a film that graced our screens on July 11, 2025. Armed with a notepad and a growing sense of déjà vu, I meticulously documented my journey through what can only be described as a greatest hits album of every gangster cliché Bollywood has ...
Superman Review The world has been waiting for a Superman film that truly pushes the boundaries, and with James Gunn’s “Superman” (2025), DC has not just met expectations but soared far beyond them. This is not just another superhero flick; it’s a meticulously crafted experience that delves deep into the essence of what makes the Man of Steel so iconic, ...
Jurassic World Rebirth Review The “Jurassic” franchise has long been a cornerstone of blockbuster cinema, a series that promises and often delivers edge-of-your-seat thrills and visual wonder. However, the latest entry, “Jurassic World Rebirth,” feels less like a rebirth and more like a tired retread of familiar territory, leaving one to question the necessity of its existence. A Familiar Roar: ...
Metro In Dino Review There’s a certain magic associated with an Anurag Basu film. You expect a beautiful, chaotic, and heartwarming exploration of human relationships, especially when the cast includes powerhouses like Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Anupam Kher, and Neena Gupta. With “Metro… In Dino,” the spiritual successor to a beloved classic, expectations were sky-high. But does it reach ...
