Movie Review

In an age of left and right swipes, watching a couple address their issues in real life is fresh, nostalgic even

Harshvardhan Rane is framed with a lot of care but his performance gets close to being a parody of Nana Patekar’s in ‘Parinda’

It is a satire that’s melancholic, a comedy that’s philosophic, a fashion show for existential dilemmas

This tale of a serial killer is not exactly riding on the thrills or tropes of whodunit

The story follows Chaman Lal, a respected trader in a scenic yet regressive village, raising four daughters

Andy Parker’s writing keeps the tone warm and genuine, mixing humour and pain with effortless grace

Keanu Reeves plays a well-meaning low-level angel, Gabriel, who tries to work his magic into the lives of a struggling gig worker and a wealthy capitalist

Director Rohan Sippy proves his mettle in transposing the original material to an Indian setting

The story doesn’t carry much weight and the characters are largely forgettable

It introduces itself like many celebrity vanity projects: a montage of the press dissecting the Posh Spice-turned-footballer’s wife-turned-fashion mogul

The film is based on Max Porter’s novella ‘Shy’

Call it a cinematic marvel, an ethereal experience, masterclass in how not to get a franchise wrong, ‘Kantara’s’ prequel reinforces how legends are born

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
