Baab (2026) 4/5 EDIT “Al Khaja’s vision remains confident and controlled, focused less on answers than on emotional truth.” – The National (UAE) Jan 8, 2026 Full Review Baby Driver (2017) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “Effortlessly shifting gears between frenetic and free-flowing, Wright brings together an exciting action-comedy through an intricately choreographed musical.” – Cinema Elite Dec 30, 2025 Full Review All Eyez on Me (2017) 17% 1/5 EDIT “Your Eyez deserve better than this.” – Cinema Elite Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Focus (2015) 55% 2.5/5 EDIT “There’s a good movie hidden somewhere in "Focus."” – Cinema Elite Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Nude Tuesday (2022) 87% 5/5 EDIT “Something this—for the lack of a better term—outta pocket shouldn’t work, and yet, it does.” – Cinema Elite Dec 28, 2025 Full Review Good Boy (2025) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Leonberg is arguably among this year’s freshest voices—not just in horror, but in cinema as a whole—and his debut makes for a consistently interesting and engaging work of art.” – Cinema Elite Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Dhadak 2 (2025) 63% 1/5 EDIT “[Director] Shazia Iqbal and co-writer Rahul Badwelkar sanitise the grim reality of institutional horrors in favour of a schmaltzy melodrama like an early-2010s Bollywood romcom.” – The National (UAE) Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Heads of State (2025) 68% 3/5 EDIT “For a movie with a logline that sounds like no laughing matter, “Heads of State” comes off surprisingly funny and lands its inventive visual gags gracefully.” – Cinema Elite Jul 14, 2025 Full Review Sikandar (2025) 5% 1.5/5 EDIT “To put it bluntly, the bar for masala films is on the floor here.” – Cinema Elite May 12, 2025 Full Review TEST (2025) 18% 2/5 EDIT “There’s a lot going on during Test's 145 minutes but very little to connect to emotionally.” – The National (UAE) May 8, 2025 Full Review Chhaava (2025) 29% 1/5 EDIT “As the credits roll on “Chhaava,” all that lingers is a hollow echo of jingoistic noise.” – The National (UAE) May 8, 2025 Full Review VidaaMuyarchi (2025) 4/5 EDIT “It’s clear Thirumeni knows exactly what he wants on screen and his style-is-substance filmmaking language balances hyper kinetic shots with an earnest commitment to every emotion present in the story.” – The National (UAE) Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Game Changer (2025) 2/5 EDIT “The film feels less like a Shankar film and more like a Now-That’s-What-I-Call-Shankar's-Greatest-Hits playlist.” – The National (UAE) Jan 14, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 85% 4.5/5 EDIT “Those who have seen Murnau’s silent film would already know what to expect by the end. What makes a difference, however, is the satisfying fashion in which its many plot devices, both big and small, pay off.” – Cinema Elite Jan 3, 2025 Full Review Baby John (2024) 29% 3/5 EDIT “Despite the bumps on the road, “Baby John” is a darn good time out.” – Cinema Elite Dec 27, 2024 Full Review Kanguva (2024) 2/5 EDIT “[Kanguva is] not entirely unwatchable; [Suriya's intensity] in his dual role and Deol’s terrifying presence as the villain will take its viewers to the end of the line, but there’s not much otherwise to hold onto as you leave the cinemas.” – The National (UAE) Nov 14, 2024 Full Review Singham Again (2024) 32% 3/5 EDIT “The film offers a good time at the movies this festive season. And, overdramatised enunciations and boomer humour aside, it is worth it.” – The National (UAE) Nov 1, 2024 Full Review Jigra (2024) 71% 3.5/5 EDIT “In anyone else’s hands, it could have been just another movie. But with writer-director [Vasan] Bala, however, Jigra stands out thanks to its strong emotional core—and a devastating turn from Bhatt, whose nuanced, understated performance powers the film.” – The National (UAE) Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Trap (2024) 56% 4.5/5 EDIT “["Trap"] is a phenomenally filmed psychological thriller that’s equal parts tragic character study, concert film, and inverse detective story neatly rolled into one fantastic joint.” – Cinema Elite Oct 6, 2024 Full Review The Buckingham Murders (2023) 79% 4/5 EDIT “An excellent slow burner that is locked in and committed to its craft, Mehta and co-writers Aseem Arrora, Raghav Raj Kakker and Kashyap Kapoor have created a tightly wound thriller that grips viewers from the start.” – The National (UAE) Sep 12, 2024 Full Review The Greatest of All Time (2024) 40% 2/5 EDIT “For what it's worth, [Vijay’s] singular charisma – a delicate balance of relatable, confidently cocky and hard-boiled action hero – helps viewers reach the finish line, even if they may be confused by the plot's nonsensical twists and turns.” – The National (UAE) Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Rebel Moon - Part Two: Director's Cut (2024) 67% 5/5 EDIT ““Rebel Moon – Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness” is bone-crunching, heartwrenching, and chest-thumping madness that tears at you emotionally while its characters tear at each other limb from limb.” – Cinema Elite Aug 11, 2024 Full Review Rebel Moon - Part One: Director's Cut (2024) 53% 5/5 EDIT “Packed with a raw sincerity that feels very human, “Rebel Moon – Chapter One: Chalice of Blood” is a breathtaking exercise in immersive storytelling that uses every second of its 204-minute runtime to build a successful image system for its narrative.” – Cinema Elite Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha (2024) 0% 2.5/5 EDIT “In spite of its drawbacks, though, it contains more good than bad throughout its running time, remaining eminently watchable for its bleeding-heart sincerity, if nothing else.” – The National (UAE) Aug 2, 2024 Full Review Daddio (2023) 75% 4.5/5 EDIT “It looks like an unassuming little film on the outside, but “Daddio” is a stunning exercise in empathy, regret, and catharsis—all in the course of a cab drive that lasts as long as the film itself.” – Cinema Elite Jul 30, 2024 Full Review
