Movie Review: Cuttputlli
Everything is not bad. Cuttputlli manages to create suspense around the killings. The locations aid the story. Akshay Kumar as a performer does not falter. But that’s about it.

Movie Review: Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva | Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt |
What you surely can’t deny is that the film projects opulence right from frame one. The money spent is visible and you are assured you are in for a larger-than-life spectacle.

Books to buy for your toddler

Movie Review: Heropanti 2
Had Heropanti 2 been released a few years back, it could have been a perfect motivational movie for me. Maybe my then boss could have even sponsored a ticket. Team development, you know. I could do with such levels of conviction even when I know what I am doing is absolutely stupid.

The very theme of a superhero-like personality taking on armed terrorists is about breaking away from what could be believable…
