Movie Review: Beast

By Noyon Jyoti Parasara

Hostage dramas are not new. And we have had multiple thrillers with a single man taking down terrorists – from Salman Khan starrer Tiger Zinda Hai to Vidyut Jammwal’s Sanak.

Movie Review: Badhaai Do

By Noyon Jyoti Parasara

Unlike an Aligarh, which aims to sensitise the audience on the hardships of a homosexual person, Badhaai Do puts the onus on the person itself. Its core idea is to boost morale so that a person accepts his or her sexuality openly without any fear or shame.

Movie Review: Satyameva Jayate 2

By Noyon Jyoti Parasara

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

By Noyon Jyoti Parasara

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
