Gandhi Talks (2026) Nandini Ramnath Gandhi Talks has too much character information and plot exposition for a movie that viewers are supposed to follow despite the absence of spoken lines.

Mardaani 3 (2026) Nandini Ramnath The 137-minute movie is fleet, efficient and gripping, neatly balancing its heroine’s stardom with a plot that ticks all the right boxes.

Cheekatilo (2026) Nandini Ramnath As an entry in the annals of modern serial killer films, Cheekatilo is just about adequate. It has all the ingredients...but not the right mesh of tension and focus.

Die My Love (2025) Nandini Ramnath Although Ramsay’s flourishes are overdone to the point of being laboured, her chronicle of womanhood in despair is hard to look away from.

Marty Supreme (2025) Nandini Ramnath Timothee Chalamet’s immersive and superbly timed performance proves just why Marty is a draw even at his repulsive best.

Border 2 (2026) Nandini Ramnath Border 2 doesn’t have any surprises in terms of its story, but it takes the effort to roll out slick action scenes and improved production values.

Rahu Ketu (2026) Deepa Gahlot In spite of Varun Sharma’s heavy lifting – he gets into the spirit of silliness more easily – and a fair amount of exertion by the other actors, Rahu Ketu simply refuses to be anything more than sporadically funny.

Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos (2026) Nandini Ramnath No offence is meant here – this is an absurdist comedy, stuffed with non sequiturs and nonsensical situations.
Posted Jan 16, 2026  Edit critic review
Ikkis (2025) Nandini Ramnath A spirit of empathy, as casual as it is bold, courses through the 147-minute narrative. Ikkis always benefits from Raghavan’s fondness for no-nonsense, wry characters.

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (2025) Nandini Ramnath There are times when TMMT feels like it’s been written by a teenager who has watched DDLJ far too many times for his health. Much of the risible dialogue is obsessed with replicating Gen Z speech and carping at perceived wokeness.

Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders (2025) Nandini Ramnath The new movie doesn’t have the potency of its predecessor, or the atmospheric visuals that suggested perverse deeds unfolding in dark corners.

The Great Shamsuddin Family (2025) Nandini Ramnath While The Great Shamsuddin Family doesn’t always come together, there is no shortage of well-staged individual scenes.
Posted Dec 16, 2025  Edit critic review
Saali Mohabbat (2025) Nandini Ramnath Lean and occasionally mean, Saali Mohabbat joins the ranks of movies about righteous crimes with confidence, if not quite substance.
Posted Dec 12, 2025  Edit critic review
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) Nandini Ramnath The new film...is less crowded and showy than the previous instalments. A deeper character study is possible this time, which benefits Josh O’Connor’s excellent pugilist-turned-priest the most.
Posted Dec 12, 2025  Edit critic review
Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 (2025) Deepa Gahlot Unfortunately, the film is dated and ludicrous. There is a modicum of satire, like a spark in the gloom.
Posted Dec 12, 2025  Edit critic review
Dhurandhar (2025) Nandini Ramnath Dhar’s proficiency with Hollywood-style carnage and talent for creating distinctive characters, coupled with the literal anti-Pakistan bashing, make Dhurandhar appear a lot more momentous than it actually is.
Posted Dec 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Stephen (2025) Nandini Ramnath Gomathi Shankar is a compelling misogynist hiding behind a disturbed backstory. The film’s gimmickry neither outstays its welcome nor makes a case for investing too much in Stephen’s truth.
Posted Dec 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Gustaakh Ishq (2025) Nandini Ramnath The 128-minute film sags considerably in its later portions, losing its way in terms of plotting and character development. Gustaakh Ishq gives itself up to the cadences of Urdu, but this alone isn’t enough to maintain interest.
Posted Dec 02, 2025  Edit critic review
Tere Ishk Mein (2025) Nandini Ramnath The intensity is capitalised and literally expressed by Dhanush’s unnerving stare. But the film’s simplistic, binary and ultimate crude bent is embodied in a hero who seeks to avenge rejection by threatening to disfigure the woman.
Posted Dec 02, 2025  Edit critic review
Nishaanchi 2 (2025) Nandini Ramnath Nishaanchi 2 improves on its predecessor in certain respects, but falls prey to the same plotting exigencies present in the films that have inspired it. The formula that Nishaanchi sets out to tweak proves to be stubbornly resistant to experimentation.

120 Bahadur (2025) Nandini Ramnath 120 Bahadur is a moist-eyed, heartfelt tribute to the heroism displayed by an Indian Army unit during the India-China War of 1962.
Posted Nov 22, 2025  Edit critic review
De De Pyaar De 2 (2025) Nandini Ramnath Some judicious snipping might have taken care of the tonal inconsistency, while also better showcasing the sharp lines and charming tendency of characters to talk themselves into a corner. De De Pyaar De 2 is too much of a good thing.
Posted Nov 15, 2025  Edit critic review
The Running Man (2025) Nandini Ramnath Deeply invested in Ben’s bust-to-boom journey, Powell stays on course in a movie that loses sight of the finishing line.
Posted Nov 15, 2025  Edit critic review
Agra (2023) Nandini Ramnath The film’s refusal to bow to empathy is its biggest challenge to viewers. Having boxed them into a madhouse, Kanu Behl dares them to find the exit. In this regard, Agra entirely succeeds – uncomfortably so.
Posted Nov 15, 2025  Edit critic review
Frankenstein (2025) Nandini Ramnath Jacob Elordi’s gentle Creature anchors a film in which the effort involved in trying to be visionary is all too discernible.
Posted Nov 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Baramulla (2025) Nandini Ramnath The scare factor is negligent, constituting much groaning and sighing. The characters are too sketchily written and indifferently performed – even by the dependable Manav Kaul – to be engaging.
Posted Nov 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Jatadhara (2025) Nandini Ramnath Everything in the movie is unabashedly tacky, from the visual effects to the performances.
Posted Nov 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Haq (2025) Nandini Ramnath The movie’s mission to rescue hapless Muslim women from the clutches of hidebound men is relatively restrained and explored through relatable characters.
Posted Nov 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Single Salma (2025) Nandini Ramnath Apart from the sheer unusualness of featuring leading Muslim characters, Single Salma has a few surprises in store. Not all of these land well because of the 142-minute movie’s tendency towards bloat and speechifying.
Posted Nov 06, 2025  Edit critic review
Bugonia (2025) Nandini Ramnath The scattershot satire is far more effective as a serial killer thriller. Bugonia derives its effect on the nerves entirely from linear, claustrophobic storytelling.
Posted Nov 02, 2025  Edit critic review
Ballad of a Small Player (2025) Udita Jhunjhunwala Berger’s Macau shimmers with allure, but the story beneath it fails to fully engage. The film dazzles visually but never quite hits the emotional jackpot.
Posted Oct 29, 2025  Edit critic review
Thamma (2025) Nandini Ramnath Unlike Lokah, which deftly meshed escapist entertainment with political commentary, Thamma is bite-free and bloodless.
Posted Oct 21, 2025  Edit critic review
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat (2025) Nandini Ramnath The 140-minute film, written by Zaveri and Mushtaq Shiekh, has scenes in excruciating slow motion and songs with the usual doom-and-gloom lyrics. The general feeling is of being trapped in a small elevator during a lengthy power cut.
Posted Oct 21, 2025  Edit critic review
A Nice Indian Boy (2024) Nandini Ramnath A Nice Boy is keen on not being that overly sappy Bollywood movie, but it’s too rushed and sketchy to be a convincing account of the Indian American experience.
Posted Oct 17, 2025  Edit critic review
The Ugly Stepsister (2025) Nandini Ramnath Although the 109-minute movie overreaches itself in places, it’s ultimately a wild and wicked ride, unpredictable as well as moving at times. The remorseless humour is on point, while the agony of young women pushed to extremes is palpable.
Posted Oct 17, 2025  Edit critic review
The Smashing Machine (2025) Nandini Ramnath For all the bashing and grasping, The Smashing Machine is a tidy, uninvolving version of Kerr’s blood-and-guts journey. Without the elements to distinguish it from other films of this type, the movie slips out of grasp.
Posted Oct 10, 2025  Edit critic review
Nishaanchi (2025) Nandini Ramnath Doubling, one of cinema’s favourite and most fruitful themes, is little more than a source of contrivance in a film that ultimately misses its mark.

Ufff Yeh Siyapaa (2025) Nandini Ramnath G Ashok’s Ufff Yeh Siyapaa has little reason to exist beyond its gimmick.

Kantara: A Legend - Chapter 1 (2025) Nandini Ramnath Although unwieldy at times, Kantara: Chapter 1 maintains the enchantment through impeccable world-building and a balance of spectacle with ideas.

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari (2025) Nandini Ramnath Although the Hindi movie doesn’t always pop and crackle, it has old-fashioned romance, many hilarious lines (the dialogue is by Khaitan and Ishita Moitra) and a hero who is able and willing to steer the events.
Posted Oct 02, 2025  Edit critic review
One Battle After Another (2025) Nandini Ramnath Chaos is the one constant in a film that’s epic as well as intimate, brutal while also tender, very funny but sad too.
Posted Sep 26, 2025  Edit critic review
Homebound (2025) Nandini Ramnath Homebound not only exposes embedded bias through the prism of the job hunt but also shows that the burden of understanding, empathy and adjustment is borne by the ones who suffer the most.
Posted Sep 26, 2025  Edit critic review
Jolly LLB 3 (2025) Nandini Ramnath While Jolly LLB 3 is dramatically the weakest of the three films in the series, Subhash Kapoor’s script gets away with a great deal of anti-establishment messaging...
Posted Sep 22, 2025  Edit critic review
Cactus Pears (2025) Nandini Ramnath The 116-minute movie heaves with feeling, but never overwhelmingly so. Sabar Bonda wears its boldness lightly and beguilingly.
Posted Sep 22, 2025  Edit critic review
The Fable (2024) Nandini Ramnath The stilted dialogue, irregular pacing and serviceable performances block the story’s fabular potential from emerging. Most of the enchantment is in the gorgeous visuals, and the feeling of timelessness evoked by them.
Posted Sep 12, 2025  Edit critic review
Mirai (2025) Deepa Gahlot Mirai starts out as entertaining, but Gattamnaneni makes it so heavy going, with loud background music and Sanskrit chants (by Gowra Hari) constantly on, that the film loses the boyish flair that Sajja brings to his scenes.
Posted Sep 12, 2025  Edit critic review
The Bengal Files (2025) Anant Gupta But other than gore, the film has nothing perceptive to say about communal violence. It leaps from one scene to another without offering a diagnosis or even a coherent critique of the passions that drive people to commit horrific acts of violence...
Posted Sep 08, 2025  Edit critic review
Inspector Zende (2025) Nandini Ramnath Mandlekar, the actor who makes his directing debut with this film, treats Zende’s best-known exploit like one big joke. The shallow, silly script feels like an early draft, with barely any attention paid to Carl and too much focus on the hunt for him.
Posted Sep 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Baaghi 4 (2025) Nandini Ramnath Shroff has the fitness levels and the martial arts moves needed to carry off the action scenes, but not the ability to play a man so devastated by his loss that he loses all sense of proportion.
Posted Sep 05, 2025  Edit critic review
Songs of Paradise (2025) Nandini Ramnath Except for a flare-up or two, the 106-minute movie is an understated affair, finding its own voice in the gorgeous songs that linger all the way to the closing credits.
