Movie Review

The docu-drama approach is what makes this film give out a different vibe

Even though uninspiring, unoriginal, recycled, there’s an honesty to the movie — it knows it’s a light Sunday watch

A heartfelt but modest addition to the growing shelf of stories about teachers and students

The film’s representation of Indian cinema on the global stage is certainly a step in the right direction

The film is lively and a little stylised

The series promises a narrative from the margins but also resorts to extorting shock value

The film brings hope to the marginalised sections being attacked and demeaned throughout the world

Like its prequels, the film has a huge conscience

The script required a director with greater imagination and flair

The series follows the journey of Aasmaan Singh, a small-town boy who unexpectedly finds stardom

The film borrrows half-baked plots from every romance trope

Though the film moves languidly, there is a sense of urgency, a premonition that engulfs you just as fires would

‘The Office’ thrived because the comedy met you in an off-hand remark or awkward glance in a sterile room. ‘The Paper’ often forgets this subtlety

The clash between tradition and modernity is telling and becomes the central tension in the film

It is glossy, entertaining and sometimes gripping

Performances alone do not make a film. Nor a few nice touches here and there

It is a creepy blast with shocking twists, a stellar cast and a tease for Season 3 that will leave fans desperate for more

The movie swerves down far too many paths — some mildly engaging, others plain jerky, and many utterly tedious

The director tends to fall back on mining nostalgia from previous outings

While the film does justice to Raj Begum’s pioneering legacy, it would be interesting to see the challenges faced by present-day female singers

This new adaptation of Warren Adler’s iconic anti-romantic comedy novel fails to connect the dots

The film is amiable, lightly witty and cosy enough to warm an evening, but it never quite musters the sparkle that its premise promises

The three-part documentary throws the spotlight on ‘America’s Biggest Loser’, the controversial reality show

The five-episode series may not be a gripping affair, yet with fair momentum, it is fairly watchable

It is sweet, charming and manages to make you feel connected to its characters
