Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 2/5 EDIT “There are breathtaking visuals, some of which are unlike anything seen in cinema. There is a vast canvas on which Cameron lets his creativity loose. But that is just it. All that is hollow, not complemented by any emotional depth. ” – Hindustan Times Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Predator: Badlands (2025) 86% 2/5 EDIT “Not only is this spinoff bland, but it also demystifies one of Hollywood’s most iconic characters so wastefully that it feels tragic more than anything else.” – Hindustan Times Nov 10, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 3/5 EDIT “Tron Ares is reliant on the visuals and the score to elevate what is essentially a bang average film. Together, the garnishing makes it an immensely more watchable experience, but one that does feel less than the sum of its parts.” – Hindustan Times Oct 10, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 4/5 EDIT “The Smashing Machine frustrates you with its pace, triggers you with the depiction of Kerr's personal life, but the end, still manages to make you feel for this man and the several like him - the lost pioneers of the 21st century.” – Hindustan Times Oct 8, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “One Battle After Another is scattered and batshit crazy...But despite this, it is a sensitively depicted satire on modern-day America with political undertones and some brilliant performances.” – Hindustan Times Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Coolie (2025) 2.5/5 EDIT “It is a confusing film, as much as it is confused, lifted largely by Rajinikanth's undimmed aura, Anirudh's masterful score, and some brilliantly shot fight sequences.” – Hindustan Times Aug 14, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “The Naked Gun is a relentless composite of gags, witty one-liners, and deadpan humour, which works well as a film, too. That it manages to do so in the age of shortening attention spans and aversion to pop culture references is its biggest victory.” – Hindustan Times Aug 4, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “[The Fantastic Four: First Steps] is fun, without being too goofy like Quantumania, serious without getting gloomy like The Dark World, and colourful without losing the plot like Love and Thunder. ” – Hindustan Times Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “James Gunn's Superman reboot is no perfect cinema. It is childish, goofy, and tends to overuse absurd humour even in moments that require emotional calm. Yet, it is enjoyable. ” – Hindustan Times Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Heads of State (2025) 68% 3/5 EDIT “Heads of State is a throwback to the good old actioners from the 90s that is equal parts fun and thrill. Just do not expect anything deep from it, and you will have a great time.” – Hindustan Times Jul 2, 2025 Full Review F1 The Movie (2025) 82% 3.5/5 EDIT “F1 is an experience, marrying top-notch cinematography with some exhilarating racing action.” – Hindustan Times Jun 25, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 4/5 EDIT “[28 Years Later] is an almost graphic novel-like work of art that may be abstract at times, but visually engaging at all times. The score is a delicious cherry on top.” – Hindustan Times Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Elio (2025) 83% 2.5/5 EDIT “Elio gets predictable pretty quickly and resorts to tried-and-tested tropes, never staying ahead of the audience. If you have seen any two Pixar films in your life...you can easily predict the next plot point and the next red herring.” – Hindustan Times Jun 24, 2025 Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “The performances may be nothing to write home about...but the action and choreography make up for all that. Ballerina is a worthy successor to John Wick, and Ana de Armas shows that women can lead heavy-duty action franchises, too.” – Hindustan Times Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Karate Kid: Legends (2025) 58% 2/5 EDIT “Meant as a movie to evoke nostalgia with its throwbacks to the original film, Karate Kid: Legends only ends up showing how much it lacks in soul and sheer storytelling finesse.” – Hindustan Times May 30, 2025 Full Review Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning is a classic action film that never takes its foot off the pedal. It is relentless, emotionally charged, visually spectacular, and fun enough to hide its flaws in logic and narrative.” – Hindustan Times May 19, 2025 Full Review Final Destination Bloodlines (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “Final Destination Bloodlines is not just a good film by the franchise's standards, but a rather, enjoyable... film as a standalone too. It is fast-paced, fun, gory, and contains everything that made Final Destination a phenomenon.” – Hindustan Times May 14, 2025 Full Review Thunderbolts* (2025) 88% 3/5 EDIT “[Thunderbolts] engages, entertains, and even touches, but almost always barely on a surface level. ” – Hindustan Times Apr 30, 2025 Full Review Empuraan - Lucifer 2 (2025) EDIT “The attempt here is to marry the finesse of Malayalam cinema with the big-ticket experience of mass cinema...Yet, what happens in the end is a film grappling with an identity crisis, an overlong runtime, and a confused mess of a script.” – Hindustan Times Mar 28, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 39% EDIT “It's a film for the Instagram and TikTok generation, one that can be scrolled and forgotten.” – Hindustan Times Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 46% EDIT “The screenplay from Rob Edwards and the work from the writing teams of Malcolm Spellman & Dalan Musson and Onah & Peter Glanz have made a mess of what made Marvel of old engaging. ” – Hindustan Times Feb 15, 2025 Full Review The Mehta Boys (2024) 100% EDIT “[The Mehta Boys] is a stunningly simple and relatable film that gets so much right and contains some of the finest, understated performances of late. It is a slice-of-life film that the doyens of Hindi parallel cinema would be proud of.” – Hindustan Times Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama (1993) EDIT “It is a tale most Indians know by heart. But the film makes it work by evoking the simplicity of Ramayana and blending it with animation that has stood the test of time.” – Hindustan Times Feb 4, 2025 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% EDIT “Gladiator II is a great watch for anyone who hasn't watched the first part. This one is grander, more spectacular, and even more visceral than the first one, turning it up by a few notches in every department.” – Hindustan Times Jan 21, 2025 Full Review Phone Bhoot (2022) 33% EDIT “Phone Bhoot is a promising film. It is a smartly written but not quite so well-executed effort that has its pros and several cons as well. It is a decent addition to the growing horror comedy genre...” – Hindustan Times Nov 9, 2022 Full Review
