Movie Review: Maa

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 →

Movie Review: Gangubai Kathiawari

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 →

Lockdown Entertainment

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 →

Movie Review: Judgementall Hai Kya

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 →

Movie Review: Badla

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 →

Lost In Translations#501

TO has an accent. We're not sure which country it belongs to. It's a relic mishmash of whatever animated programs he's grown up watching.  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... Continue Reading →

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 →
