wogma rating: Add to that never-watched 'To Watch' list (?) quick review: Slick action, decent story with adequate twists and turns. But falls into the usual problematic trope of glamourising an insubordinate know-it-all. That along with the jingoism makes a lot of Yodha an exasperating watch rather than an enjoyable one. (Streaming Partner: Prime Video) Review It is a tricky one, right? A system exists so that people cannot behave willy-nilly. The restrictions placed with that intention, though, aren’t geared to handle emergencies that require quick action. But does that mean you glamourise ..read more

You relate, you clutch your heart, your tummy carries a vacuum. But, it certainly should have been crisper and the verbosity in the climax takes away from the impact.

Streaming Partner: Netflix Review If you have a pit in your stomach, if your intestines feel squeezed, if the hair at the back of your neck is raised, it is a good horror film, isn’t it? Yeah, in that sense then, Shaitaan is a good horror film. But at the risk of repeatin ..read more

wogma rating: Add to 'must watch' list (?) quick review: Easy-going situational fun with a conscience. Doesn’t diss on anything while passing a message as subtly as it can. Well and warmly written characters, situations, and a story. Review You know how you have a feeling that you are highly unlikely to like a film? And you start with confirmation bias looking for things to not like. Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’s title itself tested my bias. And then scene-by-scene it challenged the prejudices I had brought with me despite all my attempts of walking into the theatre with a clean slate. I ..read more

Old bottle old wine, unimaginative, stale repetition of the India-Pakistan-war genre. Lazy, unambitious, opportunistic picking of the lowest-hanging fruit of nationalism.

Rajkumar Hirani never got back to the Munnabhai-Circuit level of discourse. This, though, is another level of simplification. It is boring. So, what if the actors perform? All other than the leads, that is. Those two, ham. Thumbs up by Urmimala Banerjee, Bollywood Life ...Dunki is a light-hearted film on how need forc ..read more

Old bottle old wine, unimaginative, stale repetition of the India-Pakistan-war genre. Lazy, unambitious, opportunistic picking of the lowest-hanging fruit of nationalism. Review Performative—that’s the word that won’t leave me ever since I left the movie hall. The banter, the camaraderie, the romance, the feminism, the shock, the angst…all were motions being performed. Because it is assumed that nothing more is needed to fill the seats. The supposed humour ..read more

Everything in the film comes together towards that end—keeping you on the edge. Will not ask for more from a thriller! Review Till it’s not the whodunnit, it’s the philosophical nuggets that keep your mind glued to the screen. So that you don’t miss one. When it’s not the reflective musings, it’s the wry and dark one-liners that have you pegged to the narrative. When it’s not the humour, the thriller’s crux holds you to t ..read more
