★★★½
Filtering by Category: Drama
Movie Review: 'Thappad’
A quiet, unassuming, undramatic piece that leaves you thinking, asking, evaluating, and ultimately, looking at life in a wholly altered way.
★★★½
Movie Review: 'Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan'
Sparkling wit and an important core message, keeps you invested in Shubh Mangal Zyaada Saavdhan even if it doesn’t fully come out of its comfort zone as much as one would have hoped.
★★★½
Movie Review: 'Love Aaj Kal'
A sh-t show from start to finish that is so irredeemably bad, it will put you off going to the movies for weeks.
★
Movie Review: 'Malang’
Deliciously dark and twisted in parts, with edgy characters, but too many conveniences and loopholes in its plot and contrived inconsistencies prevent it from being the gem it could have been.
★★½
Movie Review: 'War’
A film that’s stylishly stupid, glamorously dumb and beautifully foolish and yet, somehow, works!
★★★½
Movie Review: 'Kalank’
An overlong, over-cooked, often cumbersome slog that occasionally fires up because of its glorious leads, but eventually peters out.
★★½
Movie Review: 'Gully Boy’
Zoya Akhtar’s film about a slum-dwelling youngster with big dreams who refuses to let his relatively bleak circumstances cripple the longings of his heart, is a triumph, thanks to a ‘rap’turous performance by Ranveer Singh.
★★★★½
Movie Review: 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’
An incredibly important film especially in an industry where depiction of same-sex couples on screen has almost unanimously been ridiculed and/or labelled as ‘artsy’.
★★★
Movie Review: 'Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’
Definitely a good tribute to Lakshmibai, but it sure as hell, could have been better, writes columnist An Josh.
★★★
Movie Review: 'Simmba’
Ranveer is pure dynamite, and despite being completely devoid of originality, Simmba is an entertaining, engaging riot from start to finish.
★★★
Movie Review: 'Kedarnath’
Love versus the forces of nature. A sweeping, old school romance, an earnest Sushant Singh Rajput and an extraordinarily confident debut by Sara Ali Khan make Kedarnath an engaging watch.
★★★½
Take 2: ‘Thugs Of Hindostan’
A true homage, to the ‘70s and ‘80s films of yore.
★★★
Movie Review: ‘Thugs Of Hindostan’
More like the Slog from Hindustan. Do yourself a favour and don’t let these thugs mug you off of your well-earned cash.
★½
Movie Review: ‘Sanju’
An inaccurate but engrossing film for the most part, with show-stopping turns by Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
★★★
Movie Review: ‘Race 3’
Do yourself a favour and keep well away from this complete and utter turd.
★
Movie Review: 'Raazi'
An engaging, intelligent and well intentioned thriller with yet another riveting performance by Bhatt.
★★★★
Movie Review: 'Pad Man'
Has the distinction of being that well intended venture that entertains and educates in equal measures, and one that dares to think outside the box and attempts to challenge an archaic mindset.
★★★
Movie Review: 'Padmaavat' ('Padmavati')
Keeps you invested and in awe of its beauty despite its many inconsistencies, with a show-stopping turn by Ranveer Singh, who gives us an antagonist for the ages. I'm not sure why they just didn't call it Khilji.
★★★½
Movie Review: 'Jab Harry Met Sejal'
Imtiaz Ali takes the easy way out by trying to ‘mash up’ his own previous films, and fails – miserably.
★★
