Movie Reviews

Jawan: OLD WINE in a NEW BOTTLE So much anticipation was built up for Jawan, especially after the prevue dropped. People started guessing the plot what would be the story etc. etc. At last, it […]

Adipurush is a complete disaster and has nothing new to offer, rather I would recommend to please see the TV Serial made by Ramanand Sagar for a better watch.

Shah Rukh Khan’s PATHAAN is a classic Hindi mass pot boiler entertainment which is low in content and high in glamour, glitz and action.

Monica Oh My Darling is a riot combining Dark comedy with Neo Noir and Whodunit which is a complete treat for movie buffs like us with movie references from Bollywood and Hollywood.

UUNCHAI is a simple clean wholesome entertainer with emotions at it’s right place. It is a heartfelt attempt by the makers.

KANTARA cannot be put in a particular genre it is a good mix of parallel cinema and commercial cinema. It is just not a movie but an experience.

VIKRAM VEDHA is a decent one time watch, especially for viewers who have not seen the original, but for viewers who have seen the original please stick to the same as the original was far superior then the Hindi counterpart.

SHERSHAAH is an apt ode to a braveheart Captain Vikram Batra who died fighting in the Kargil war in 1999 at the age of 25. It is an extraordinary story of a braveheart, presented simply but effectively.

Feels Like Ishq is heart warming and brings a smile, what else do you want in these grim days of the pandemic.

Another movie which dropped this week and touched our hearts is MIMI. MIMI kept you invested and was heartwarming and at the end gave a smile….
