Aarav (Lakshya) and Chandni (Ananya Panday) fall in love while in college. Both have goals in life, but they are thwarted when Chandni becomes pregnant. Aarav reasons that they are…
Wanna spend a couple of hours relaxing, watching a vintage Hollywood kind of rom-com? With some truly illogical stuff happening and only the occasional guffaw from you, though there is…
Sigh! Say the Naysayers. Another propaganda film. That is how films exposing historical truths and wrongs have been collectively branded in Hindi cinema since The Kashmir Files and The Kerala Story. It is entirely a different aspect…
The title means a ‘heartbeat.’ It narrates the story of a foul-mouthed, near-inhuman and completely unscrupulous and callous man living and prospering (not necessarily by fair means) in a foreign…
The Marathi movie dream run continues… Baapya (loosely translating as a ‘grown-up man’) is a film whose title may suggest a comedy. But it actually deals with a serious issue that…
A wise man once said, “The most valuable gift one can give one’s child is time.” Is that also true in reverse? Do parents too need time from their children?…

Some series, we obviously know, will go on for future seasons. And the best part? They do not need cliffhangers in the way their story unfolds. Correction: stories unfold. A slim red…
This film is directed by the pioneer of not just successful but classy comedies (Hera Pheri, Hungama, Garam Masala) in India—Priyadarshan—but also of horror comedies with Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007). Akshay Kumar, his…
This movie is—if I may term it so—a disgrace to the two films we have seen with the tagline Ek Prem Katha. The first was the exceptional Gadar—Ek Prem Katha in 2001, which…
A slimy property broker sells a single property to two people at the same time. What happens when the parties, one a hep ‘today’ urban couple who are living in,…
The series follows the Prakash Jha “tradition”: a good film followed by some mediocre ones. So far as my viewing his films down the years is concerned, I loved Mrityudand, Gangaajal and Raajneeti and…
