Babumoshai Bandookbaaz (2017) Stutee Ghosh It is such a poor version of that amoral universe conjured up by Anurag Kashyap that you’re left hungry and disappointed by the end of this bland buffet.

3/5
Jugjugg Jeeyo (2022) Stutee Ghosh It's adorned with all good stuff that will put you in a forgiving mood. Music, visual pleasure and a brilliant act by Anil Kapoor.

Chup (2022) Stutee Ghosh For this critic Chup remains an interesting, intriguing idea that couldn’t quite execute what it ambitiously set out to achieve .

Samrat Prithviraj (2022) Stutee Ghosh The battle scenes are so laboriously choreographed and the CGI-generated animals appear so convincingly unreal that Samrat Prithviraj ends up being rather below average. A tedious watch.

Liger -- Saala Crossbreed (2022) Stutee Ghosh A colossal disappointment.

Raksha Bandhan (2022) Stutee Ghosh The film wants to cater to the lowest common denominator by regurgitating stale old lines and jokes, and still fails to elicit a laugh.

2.5/5
Shabaash Mithu (2022) Stutee Ghosh This sudden shift in the narrative tone is both inexplicable and unforgivable and Shabaash Mithu is poorer for it. It’s a pity because Mithali’s inspiring story and Taapsee’s solid performance deserved better.

Hit: The First Case (2022) Stutee Ghosh Hit misses the mark by making a mockery of the mystery it promised to unravel.

Dasvi (2022) Stutee Ghosh A film can be anything it wants to be, but Dasvi makes the cardinal mistake of being... boring! Innumerable yawn-inducing, unfunny moments together conspire to make it a tiresome watch.

Jalsa (2022) Stutee Ghosh Jalsa is a story of inner-conflict, motherhood, and class, portrayed brilliantly by its two lead protagonists.

4/5
Jhund (2022) Stutee Ghosh Earthy and unpretentious it has the unforced, unhurried reality of a documentary and the emotional power of great drama. Expect a story soaked in realism with a lack of concessions to mainstream contrivances.

Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui (2021) Stutee Ghosh Vaani gives her character an authentic depth of emotions.

83 (2021) Stutee Ghosh The 1983 victory was like no other, particularly because of how impossible it seemed at the time. 83 is a competently made ode to the game of cricket and the team that made all Indians feel like champions.

Bunty Aur Babli 2 (2021) Stutee Ghosh After subjecting oneself to the banality of a completely uncalled for sequel, this exercise of then writing about it is even more tiresome. Fatigue has already set in.

2/5
Antim: The Final Truth (2021) Stutee Ghosh Antim: The Final Truth is less of a film that wants to tell a story and more a business proposal to hoist Aayush Sharma as an action hero.

Dhamaka (2021) Stutee Ghosh Ram Madhvani knows when and how to dial up the tension, give us just enough information so we know what's happening and are hungrier for more.

Bhavai (2021) Stutee Ghosh It somehow makes its point, but it's so diluted that precious little can be done about it.

1.5/5
Meenakshi Sundareshwar (2021) Stutee Ghosh The most frustrating thing about Meenakshi Sundareshwar is that we keep waiting for something to happen and nothing ever does.

4.5/5
Sardar Udham (2021) Stutee Ghosh Sircar exercises remarkable restraint in making this powerful film with lofty ambitions. Sardar Udham is heartbreakingly sincere with Vicky Kaushal delivering a devastatingly touching performance.

Rashmi Rocket (2021) Stutee Ghosh Overall, with its runtime of two hours, Rashmi Rocket does a fine job of keeping us hooked till the finish line. Watch it and you won't regret it.

Dug Dug (2021) Stutee Ghosh An audacious new voice, this debut feature casts a critical look at how superstition and blind faith provide a fertile breeding ground for religious cults and idolatry to grow unchecked.

Chehre (2021) Stutee Ghosh Just a few minutes into this snooze fest, we know we are stuck as bad as the poor Mr. Mehra...

Shershaah (2021) Stutee Ghosh The pace of course picks up with the action sequences. Cinematographer Kamaljeet Negi's camera captures the urgency and tension.

Mimi (2021) Stutee Ghosh The dominant presence is that of melodrama. Mimi is as filmy as it gets, and I don't mean this as a compliment.

3.5/5
Haseen Dillruba (2021) Stutee Ghosh Haseen Dillruba keeps us riveted for most parts at least. Taapsee and Vikrant are in top form ensuring we quite willingly get sucked into this pulpy universe.

2/5
Toofaan (2021) Stutee Ghosh In its eagerness to impress all, the film simply abandons this narrative track & dilutes its own message thereby making Toofaan feel bloated and even unnecessary. It's more gas than a raging storm that it was intended to be.

Luca (2021) Prahlad Srihari Pixar reels you in with another delightful bait of a movie, and you can't help but fall for it hook, line and sinker. Sure to warm the heart of even the coldest fish is Luca's tale of a summer bromance on the Italian seaside.

Suruli (2020) Prahlad Srihari Karthik Subbaraj's new padam marks a return to a well-acquainted mash-up territory of Madurai mobsters and meta-comedy. But Jagame Thandhiram isn't exactly a return to form.
Posted Jun 25, 2021  Edit critic review
India Sweets and Spices (2021) Prahlad Srihari India Sweets and Spices is a flavorful, if not nutritious, take on a familiar story about generational dynamics. The color, the costumes, and the cast led by a delightful Sophia Ali make for savory ingredients. There are in-jokes too. Call it meta-masala.

Sherni (2021) Stutee Ghosh There are no easy answers or closures and that's probably why we think of Sherni and Vidya long after the film is over. The sign of an eloquently made film.

The Woman in the Window (2021) Prahlad Srihari The film's external reality and internal ambiguity don't really add up to anything substantial in the end. It's a good thing this movie about agoraphobia got dumped on Netflix, instead of cinemas. For nobody would have showed up.

Oxygen (2021) Prahlad Srihari Aja tries to revive the flatlined buried-in-a-box concept with a defibrillator. But the obligatory big twist yet again proves to be a fatal miscalculation.

Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar (2020) Stutee Ghosh Devoid of excesses and dramatic highs, the sparseness with which Banerjee steers the story adds meaning and subtly.

Run (2020) Prahlad Srihari It's (Sarah Paulson's) American Horror Story pedigree which suggests there's more to this film than there really is.

The Mauritanian (2021) Prahlad Srihari Filming the story for the Western gaze, Macdonald is more fascinated by Slahi's pop cultural literacy than the psychological aftermath of such a relentless dehumanisation.

2/5
Mumbai Saga (2021) Stutee Ghosh Amartya's face softens only for two people. The love of his life Seema (Kajal Aggarwal), and his younger brother Arjun (Prateek Babbar). Sadly, these are also times when John's acting inadequacies show up.
Posted Apr 06, 2021  Edit critic review
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) Prahlad Srihari An ungainly miscreation trapped between extravagance in approach and austerity in mood. A habitual bleakness (to the point of self-parody) pervades the movie, doubling what was already a mind-numbing 120-minute slog into a butt-numbing 242-minute ordeal.

Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry (2021) Prahlad Srihari Taking cue from Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift in recent years, Eilish centralises her own narrative in The World's a Little Blurry. Bankrolled by streaming services, such films have allowed modern pop stars to be agents of their own myth making.

Coolie No. 1 (2020) Stutee Ghosh A copy will always be a copy. Sara is so visibly uncomfortable and out of place that it was a pain watching her.
Posted Jan 05, 2021  Edit critic review
Tenet (2020) Prahlad Srihari If Tenet were a Beatles song, it would be Revolution 9: gun shots and car crashes, breaking glass and muffled words, all come together in a mix, made all the more unintelligible by segments happening forward and backward.

Ginny Weds Sunny (2020) Stutee Ghosh It also doesn't help that the film opts for the most underwhelming, oldest trick in the book denouement. It threatens to lull us to sleep 15 mins before the end credits roll.

3.5/5
Ludo (2020) Stutee Ghosh While the setting may seem fable- like, the emotions they evoke in us are authentic. It might take some time to get used to, but once we understand the spirit of the film Ludo can prove to be a lot of fun.

Omertà (2018) Stutee Ghosh Omerta is a difficult film to watch because of its dark unrelenting portrayal of violence, but watch it for Rajkumar Rao's stunning performance.

Lootcase (2020) Stutee Ghosh The brilliant and tight writing of the film takes a little dip towards the end when it starts feeling a little stretched. Overall, the film is a harmless, entertaining film which promises good laughs throughout.
