A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
Let me start by writing that if you haven't seen this movie yet; don't. It's a travesty of a "horror" movie. Whether it had marketed itself as a scary movie or not, the storyline, acting, and build-up to the climax are loosely woven together. As a result, the movie falls down pretty quickly. The pace...

Many people, me included, would tell you that if a movie manages to entertain in the manner it is intended; it's served a purpose. Since it's met expectations, does it matter there are the parameters that've possibly not met the mark? Maybe not. Reviews exist to let us know if the movie is worth the... Continue Reading →
Given that this is the first movie I was watching in the new year, in the movie hall no less, I was quite enthused on multiple fronts. And it always helps when you have low to no expectations from a movie barring being entertained; for whatever may be the reason. And Pathaan does that quite... Continue Reading →
When one goes to watch a Sanjay Leela Bhansali (SLB) movie, one goes expecting theatricality but one also expects a narrative that is interesting. I have watched quite a few of SLB's movies that I've had differing reactions to; boredom hadn't featured in them till date. While the sets are of a particular type, the... Continue Reading →
Of late one of the trends on social media especially where celebs are concerned, is all about requesting privacy to either celebrate, mourn, deal with, come to terms with, yada yada yada. The interesting thing here is, for all their intrusiveness, paps don't have access into a person's house beyond the reach of their telephoto... Continue Reading →
If you thought that was a pun, guess what? You’re bang on! The gym I occasionally frequent (inching towards an oxymoron here folks) has mirrors all along one side of a wall and that really helps while you’re checking out your form or lack thereof. It frequently helps me bemoan the state my body’s in... Continue Reading →
I eventually got around to watching a movie during the lockdown. Till now I've limited myself to watching series which have episodes so I can take a break in between and not feel like I'm going to miss out on an ongoing thread. I've started watching Modern Family from the beginning and usually watch while... Continue Reading →
Kangana Ranaut has been in the news for so many things in the recent past that any movie of hers is newsworthy mainly because of the gossip around the actor. Although, IMHO, she's become typecast for her neuroses in the earlier movies; she still manages to deliver a believable performance as person who is psychotic... Continue Reading →
The first thing that strikes you about this movie is that Indian film makers are more than capable of churning out good flicks without the whole song and dance routine that seems to encapsulate Bollywood movies as a genre. Badla (Revenge) is a prime example of that. An adaption of the Spanish movie The Invisible... Continue Reading →
What happens when you don't want to get married but test drive being married by living together? What happens when you get caught being 'pretend-married' and have to play out the pretense? What happens when you try to get married for real to make things legit but realize that life is conspiring against you? Luka... Continue Reading →
