Taish (2020) 2.5/5 EDIT “Taish is timely, stylish and has an important life lesson to impart – that revenge is never the answer and rage triggers rage – but the execution and storytelling technique could have been (and should have been) much tighter...” – The Times of India Oct 2, 2024 Full Review Sadak 2 (2020) 2/5 EDIT “It is rather disappointing to see a filmmaker of Mahesh Bhatt's stature to make a comeback as a director with Sadak 2. No offense… but why this, Bhatt saab?” – The Times of India Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Laxmii (2020) 11% 2/5 EDIT “Laxmii sets out to be a satire against age-old beliefs and biases – we get it! – but the insipidness of the narrative and whatever follows thereon, butchers the lessons it originally desires to impart.” – The Times of India Jan 10, 2024 Full Review Pihu (2018) 33% 3/5 EDIT “The inconsistent writing and direction by Vinod Kapri robs the movie of its desired impact. With a little more attention to detail and conviction, this one could have been a terrific experience.” – The Times of India Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Khuda Haafiz (2020) 25% 2.5/5 EDIT “Watch it for Vidyut flexing his muscles in the most amusing way imaginable...” – The Times of India Sep 28, 2023 Full Review Serious Men (2020) 90% 3.5/5 EDIT “Without revealing the twists and turns – all of which are somewhat predictable yet engaging – this movie is packed with surprises and more often than not leaves one scratching their heads...” – The Times of India Sep 27, 2023 Full Review Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022) 63% 3.5/5 EDIT “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is an agglomeration of grief and the grieving, a desi (more gleeful) answer to the old adage that life is, indeed, ‘the biggest tragedy’ of all—and it sticks for the most part.” – The Times of India Jun 1, 2022 Full Review Memory (2022) 29% 3/5 EDIT “Memory is an adequate reminder of the anti-hero-romanticism track that Liam Neeson has glamourised in Hollywood over the past few decades. In it, though, he allows decay and honesty to take over pseudo-machismo.” – The Times of India Apr 29, 2022 Full Review Three Songs for Benazir (2022) 4/5 EDIT “Symbolically speaking, Three songs for Benazir is a thriller in the sense that you-the viewers-are invested in the primary character's life and how he almost makes it to the other side of the barbed wires.” – The Times of India Jan 31, 2022 Full Review Searching For Sheela (2021) 33% 3/5 EDIT “At best, Searching For Sheela is a behind-the-scenes episode of the makeover of a 70-year-old lady with a colourful past, and also the promotional tour of a book.” – The Times of India May 3, 2021 Full Review Ajeeb Daastaans (2021) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “The four stories depicted in this anthology represent the different facets of our modernised community, the ever-changing idea of love and some of the age-old biases that the society is still plagued with. Some hit the bull's eye, others, not so much.” – The Times of India Apr 20, 2021 Full Review The Mauritanian (2021) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “With conviction, we say it delivers what it promises to do: give peace and forgiveness a chance. Both to Slahi and dear America.” – The Times of India Apr 16, 2021 Full Review Pagglait (2021) 77% 3/5 EDIT “Pagglait is one of those movies that takes its premise with utmost seriousness and touches upon many a glaring issues our society is notorious for.” – The Times of India Apr 8, 2021 Full Review Flight (2018) 2.5/5 EDIT “...from the way this tale's shaped up to the way the makers have executed it on screen, we would say it shouldn't have left the runway in the first place...” – The Times of India Apr 6, 2021 Full Review Axone (2020) 100% 4/5 EDIT “[Sayani Gupta] is brilliant.” – The Times of India Mar 19, 2021 Full Review The Girl on the Train (2020) 8% 3/5 EDIT “The Girl On The Train is an earnest effort at reconstructing what is perceived as a cult-classic-in-the-making and the hard work the entire cast & crew has put in is palpable.” – The Times of India Feb 27, 2021 Full Review Kaagaz (2021) 29% 3/5 EDIT “Kaagaz could have been the go-to movie for those seeking a burst of inspiration, but it ends up being a uni-dimensional masterclass on one man's acting prowess.” – The Times of India Jan 14, 2021 Full Review Durgamati: The Myth (2020) 0% 2.5/5 EDIT “Durgamati does have a lesson or two to impart but the narrative and its storytelling technique is so bland that it slips through the cracks.” – The Times of India Dec 12, 2020 Full Review Trolls World Tour (2020) 72% 3.5/5 EDIT “Once again, 'Trolls Word Tour' reiterates what we have known all along but some of us chose to ignore or may have forgotten: music is the universal language of the universe.” – The Times of India Dec 3, 2020 Full Review Most Wanted (2020) 68% 2.5/5 EDIT “Olivier has said that if not for Victor Malarek, he may never have returned to Canada or be able to tell his side of the story. Unfortunately, none of these sentiments shine through in its visual representation.” – The Times of India Dec 3, 2020 Full Review Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari (2020) 55% 3.5/5 EDIT “All said and done, Suraj Pe Mangal Bhaari is a witty satire - on the gori-kaali hangover, what qualifies as good or bad behaviour in today's world and how little soothsayers know about marriages.” – The Times of India Nov 16, 2020 Full Review Khaali Peeli (2020) 40% 3/5 EDIT “It derails every once in a while and you wonder - quite empathetically - why! Then again, if you are missing your regular dose of the larger-than-life heroes on celluloid, Khaali Peeli is the turn you take - samajla na?” – The Times of India Oct 3, 2020 Full Review 2/5 EDIT “We don't know where to begin with: the dialogues are dated and over the top.” – The Times of India Aug 31, 2020 Full Review Lootcase (2020) 50% 3/5 EDIT “The 'loot' wasn't bad; it's just the execution that didn't work out too well for the gang.” – The Times of India Aug 10, 2020 Full Review Gulabo Sitabo (2020) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “The message is short and simple: that it's okay to desire a lot in life but extreme greed often doesn't land you in the right place - whether it's a person's heart, house or mahal.” – The Times of India Jun 12, 2020 Full Review
