Movie Review: Pushpa – The Rise
Undeniably, Pushpa – The Rise is an absolute cracker of a mainstream blockbuster – one that makers set out to make. Everything about Pushpa is larger than life.
Movie Review: Satyameva Jayate 2
In many ways, SMJ2 is actually a masterclass. As the end credits rolled, believe you me, I actually watched it till the end, I was buzzing with multitudes of ideas… maybe a listicle since that’s the cool thing to do, on what not to do while making a movie
Movie Review: Meenakshi Sundareshwar
There is something incredibly likable about Sanya Malhotra. She does possess the power to pull off a scene on her own, if not the whole film. Where Meenakshi Sundareshwar goes completely wrong is the conflict build-up and the way it is addressed
Movie Review: Bunty Aur Babli 2
There is an unremarkable song ‘Dhikchik Dhikchik’ early in the film where Rani Mukerjis’s Vimmi and Saif Ali Khan’s Rakesh are seen putting up an unremarkable performance at a regular neighbourhood event. That acts as a clue to whatever is about to follow.

Amit Masurkar must have certainly had this incident playing in his mind when he decided to make Sherni. So Avni or T1 becomes T12, the hunter Asghar Ali Khan becomes Pintu bhaiya.
Movie Review: Dictionary
Director Bratya Basu may have sought inspiration from Savita Bhabhi too when he thought of his protagonist Smita Sanyal in Dictionary. Will it manage to create as much discussion as Savita Bhabhi did? Probably not. It most certainly is not aiming to do so.
Looking back at Sushant Singh Rajput’s career
Exactly a year back we lost Sushant Singh Rajput. Was it a case of suicide, or was there something more? Well, only time will tell. Irrespective, one of the things I will probably never be okay with was the way the depression story was ridiculed. “He did not look depressed,” is exactly the kind of argument that we should have probably never entertained. Nevertheless, that is a discussion for another day. Today, we discuss business. Business of films and how it could impact an actor’s career.
Movie Review: The Girl on the Train (2021)
