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...

Movie Review: Singham Again
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 →
Movie Review: Pathaan
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 →

Badla (Revenge) is a prime example of that. An adaption of the Spanish movie The Invisible... Continue Reading →

He, however, doesn't know Hindi; a language he loves listening to songs in. His pronunciations are decidedly foreign and poor dear Alexa often has problems deciphering what he wants. The new...

Movie Review: Kedarnath
This post isn't advocating that you go and see the movie if you'd much rather not. However, it does stress on the aspect of enjoyment you'd get and the surprise you may feel if you did. Set in the backdrop of the catastrophic floods that ravaged parts of Uttarakhand back in 2013, this movie has... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Simmba
If there was a movie which could have had 'OTT' as a catch phrase it would be this one. Or it could have the slightly longer but also accurate one of 'The Movie Where Rohit Shetty Didn't Blow A Car Up'. Whatever be the case, Simmba is a movie that is unadulterated entertainment. The kind... Continue Reading →
