Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie (2026) Tatsam Mukherjee Occasionally too respectful of its subject, the film also argues that survival itself can be a form of resistance – and that may be its most lasting statement.

The Last First: Winter K2 (2026) Tatsam Mukherjee ‘The Last First: Winter K2’ Widens the Emotional and Ethical Frame of the Mountaineering Documentary

Dhurandhar (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee ... that’s the thing about Dhar’s cinema – it doesn’t want to tell a story, it wants to recruit.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee Avatar: Fire and Ash does the unthinkable by making Cameron look ordinary.

Inspector Zende (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee Bajpayee is a great choice to play the titular role... he understands the drive that fuels such a long journey outside of tangible gains like promotions, increments, a glowing reputation among superiors and peers. It’s the joy of doing something they love

War 2 (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee Directed by Ayan Mukerji, this sequel to Siddharth Anand’s 2019 film only cares about beauty, glamour, sleekness, and entertainment. And whatever it takes to engineer them.

Bring Her Back (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee What would you do, if there was the slightest chance you could bring a loved one back from the dead? What would you sacrifice? Your honour, your sanity?

Lokah - Chapter 1: Chandra (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee In an age where it’s almost too easy for makers to give into preaching populist, regressive values – with the cop-out explanation that it’s what the audience wants – it’s interesting to see Arun’s film being mindful and deliberate about what it says.

The Fable (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee Jugnuma - The Fable is a rare Indian film that confidently amalgamates genres ranging from folklore, magic realism, paranoid thriller to family drama – making it one heady concoction, without ever truly losing grip of what it wants to say.

Dhadak 2 (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee Dhadak 2 wants to be a crusader on caste atrocities, but, even by the end I couldn’t picture it as any more than a worried bystander.

Sorry, Baby (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee 'Sorry, Baby' Is a Quietly Devastating, Darkly Funny Debut

Weapons (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee Zach Cregger’s Film is a Gorgeous Blend of Moody Horror, Slick Mystery & Real Hurt

Sister Midnight (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee As it concludes, it’s impossible to not admire the storm that is Karan Kandhari’s Sister Midnight – even if it leaves behind a whole lot of wreckage in its wake. Such beautiful wreckage.

Stolen (2023) Tatsam Mukherjee Despite what disenchanted voices will say, Karan Tejpal’s film is a reminder that despite all the bad faith around us, it can’t be an excuse to do nothing.

Materialists (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee Materialists emulates the rhythm of real life, replicating its ebbs and flows, alternating between the highs of a too-good-to-be-true fairytale, the pitch-darkness of real life and the mundanities of the in-between days.

Sitaare Zameen Par (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee 'At 158 mins, this is the longest Aamir Khan has grovelled for our love and validation...'

28 Years Later (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee In 28 Years Later, Danny Boyle Refashions a Zombie Thriller Into a Moving Coming-of-age Tale
Posted Jun 24, 2025  Edit critic review
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee Between wanting to give a proper send-off to the franchise’s most-loved characters and wanting to advance its overwrought plot, the film repeatedly goes too far with its sombre, self-reverential tone.
Posted May 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Jewel Thief - The Heist Begins (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee I laughed out the loudest when our titular character is asked how he plans to steal the diamond, and he says “… in the gagan (sky)” .

Shadowbox (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee Is there a more stoic face in Hindi cinema than Tillotama Shome’s, especially when she’s being told she’s not good enough for something?
Posted Apr 25, 2025  Edit critic review
Baby John (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee Nothing screams ‘crisis’ in Hindi cinema right now more than Salman Khan showing up in his second ‘star cameo’ of the year – hedging his bets between two cinematic universes; hoping at least one of them works. Something works.

Mrs. (2023) Tatsam Mukherjee The Great Indian Kitchen did a sensational job of dispassionately recording the indignities the women in an Indian home... Kadav’s film tries to replicate the same, but isn’t able to do so with a guttural intensity.

The Diplomat (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee 'The Diplomat' wants to be 'Argo' but Ends up Catering to the 'Kerala Story' Audience

Warfare (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee ‘Warfare’ Feels Like a Sobering Admission of America’s Futile, Bloody Invasion of Iraq
Posted Apr 15, 2025  Edit critic review
Black Bag (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee Soderbergh’s latest is a velvety relationship drama. Underneath all the spy jargon, malware destabilising rival nations, drone strikes, satellite surveillance, is a married couple – reevaluating and reaffirming their trust in each other.

Superboys of Malegaon (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee Superboys of Malegaon brings back wide-eyed wonder to Hindi films, which seems to be fast depleting.

Omaha (2025) Tatsam Mukherjee Through the road trip, 'Omaha' reveals itself to be a stark portrait of the desperation of an America on the margins.

LSD 2: Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee With his latest – Banerjee feels like he’s in the mood to give back... Maybe, there’s no salvation – and we’ll implode caressing our egos in dark rooms, our faces to stare at on the screen in front of us.

CTRL (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee Despite its strong finish, CTRL would only qualify as a tepid Black Mirror episode at best.

Girls Will Be Girls (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee It’s Preeti Panigrahi as Mira, who is the shining star here. Her character begins to mirror a dam by the end: a reservoir of righteous angst, youthful pride, seething betrayal – all the while maintaining a straight, stoic expression.

Jigra (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee Bhatt plays Satya, a human form of a sledge hammer: lean, no wasted movement, striking with purpose.

Anora (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee He might have batted for outcasts in his earlier films as well, but Sean Baker has never shone brighter than now.
Posted Oct 30, 2024  Edit critic review
Madgaon Express (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee There are repeated references to the men to ‘adjust their oranges’ with the background score harking back to the ‘90s Govinda movies. Kemmu’s collaborators – Raj & DK – would never go for such low hanging fruits (the pun is unfortunate).

Stree 2 (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee The social messaging in the film doesn't quite have the zing of the first part. By the standard Hindi films have set, Amar Kaushik’s Stree 2 isn't bad. For something birthed inside a dishonest cinematic universe, it’s surprisingly robust for a long time.

KALKI (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee You can tell a lot about a film’s collective smartness with the way it employs its star cameos.

Trap (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee One of the most exhilarating things about Trap is how much of its silliness feels designed.

Chandu Champion (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee Chandu Champion feels like that self-serving bureaucrat who is nowhere to be found for years leading up to the Olympics, but is seated front and centre during the victory lap after a medal comes home.

Twisters (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee Maybe the real disaster film in here is of a Hollywood system that sucks in a gifted director, only to spit out the safest, most agreeable and pliant film of his career.

Kill (2023) Tatsam Mukherjee Nikhil Nagesh Bhat isn’t obligated to think about the larger picture while making an efficient action film, but one wonders if he shuddered at images from his film, in a time when baying for blood is fashionable and, in some cases, even patriotic.

Hit Man (2023) Tatsam Mukherjee Hit Man is first and foremost a stellar showcase for a young actor’s limitless love for the performing arts.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee Furiosa might not have the novelty that Fury Road did, but it’s still a triumph of the imagination of the 79-year-old Miller, who gives us another film filled to the brim with his fears and doubts about the world, and shrouds it in a blockbuster.
Posted Jun 13, 2024  Edit critic review
Challengers (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee After all, whether it’s a fierce rally on court or a slowly-depleting relationship, all it needs is one spark of imagination. Guadagnino’s film seems to know the value of a worthy adversary, even when it’s your own spouse or best friend.
Posted Jun 13, 2024  Edit critic review
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee The franchise’s focus on paranoia as its principal emotion still reigns supreme. In a ravaged dystopia, when the planet is a literal jungle and resources are finite, who do you trust?
Posted May 14, 2024  Edit critic review
Amar Singh Chamkila (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee To his credit, Imtiaz Ali never claims his film to be a definitive document on Chamkila. What he does, with swiftness and initiative, is scruitinise a society that births, feeds off and then discards such a phenomenon.

Civil War (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee A thing I cherished the most about Garland’s film is how it makes the distinction between the opportunism of journalists and their innate need to do the right thing.

Lost Ladies (2023) Tatsam Mukherjee Laapataa Ladies, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival 2023, is a shining beacon of arguably the hardest genre of film: the feel-good satire.

Dune: Part Two (2024) Tatsam Mukherjee In Dune: Part Two, Villeneuve is less subtle with his choices, being aggressively vocal about the film’s intent, leaving very little room for ambiguity.
Posted Mar 05, 2024  Edit critic review
The Iron Claw (2023) Tatsam Mukherjee The Iron Claw is a cautionary tale for when families become cults, and patriarchs start acting like Gods.
Posted Feb 22, 2024  Edit critic review
Kho Gaye Hum Kahan (2023) Tatsam Mukherjee It’s ultimately sad that for its commentary on social media, Kho Gaye Hum Kahan has the recall value of an Insta reel.
Posted Feb 22, 2024  Edit critic review
Dunki (2023) Tatsam Mukherjee It’s possible that director-writer-editor Rajkumar Hirani doesn’t know the difference between empathy and sympathy [we saw enough evidence of it in Sanju (2018)].
