Saina (2021) 55% EDIT “While it may be plain vanilla for some, the film may well be a luxury treat for others.” – The National (UAE) Mar 26, 2021 Full Review Panipat - The Great Betrayal (2019) 40% 3/5 EDIT “If you keep the history books aside and ignore his flaws, the depiction of the undisputed valour of Marathas such as him is brought up nicely in Panipat.” – The National (UAE) Dec 13, 2019 Full Review Midway (2019) 42% 3.5/5 EDIT “If you're a fan of war films, it's an entertaining watch, with notable performances from Skrein, Quaid, Evans and Harrelson in particular.” – The National (UAE) Nov 8, 2019 Full Review Ujda Chaman (2019) 14% 3.5/5 EDIT “Ujda Chaman, with Sunny Singh in the lead, is set in the heart of the polluted Indian capital city of New Delhi, but the film comes like a whiff of fresh air.” – The National (UAE) Nov 6, 2019 Full Review Saand Ki Aankh (2019) 56% 3.5/5 EDIT “The powerful dialogue, the heart-wrenching scenes among the female characters and the wonderful depictions of the grandmothers getting to grips with modern life add so much to the film...” – The National (UAE) Nov 2, 2019 Full Review Laal Kaptaan (2019) 11% 2/5 EDIT “With a feast of three big movies lined up for release on Diwali, the money saved on going to see Laal Kaptaan may well be better spent watching them instead.” – The National (UAE) Oct 22, 2019 Full Review Section 375 (2019) 58% 3.5/5 EDIT “Simply put, it is a must-watch.” – The National (UAE) Sep 24, 2019 Full Review Saaho (2019) 7% EDIT “Saaho promised to be a spectacle, and it exceeds expectation.” – The National (UAE) Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Super 30 (2019) 29% 3.5/5 EDIT “Like any biopic, the cinematic liberty masks some aspects of Anand Kumar, but there is no doubting a noble cause where education for all in India is still a work in progress despite the achievements of many Indians on the global stage.” – The National (UAE) Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Article 15 (2019) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Anubhav Sinha's Article 15 is a hard-hitting film that tackles the caste discrimination that is rampant in India - and, as this story shows, fatally so at times.” – The National (UAE) Jun 28, 2019 Full Review Bharat (2019) 30% 2.5/5 EDIT “This true and rugged representation of life restores the balance somewhat in this film where logic vanishes into thin air.” – The National (UAE) Jun 10, 2019 Full Review Student of the Year 2 (2019) 6% 1.5/5 EDIT “The script and the climax make it an overall dud.” – The National (UAE) May 17, 2019 Full Review De De Pyaar De (2019) 20% 3.5/5 EDIT “It tackles a tough topic, but does so with a sense of humour, and that's why we'd recommend it.” – The National (UAE) May 17, 2019 Full Review Kesari (2019) 35% 2.5/5 EDIT “The brave and bloody Battle of Sargarhi will remain in the history books, but Kesari is unlikely to join it there.” – The National (UAE) Mar 22, 2019 Full Review Badla (2019) 63% 2.5/5 EDIT “Badla is a mystery thriller that is being sold as a tense watch, but in all honesty, the suspense is tepid.” – The National (UAE) Mar 11, 2019 Full Review Gully Boy (2019) 96% 4/5 EDIT “Zoya Akhtar's film features some splendid performances and is an instant classic.” – The National (UAE) Feb 15, 2019 Full Review Solar Eclipse: Depth of Darkness (2018) EDIT “The Gandhi Murder is a must-watch film for history buffs, especially for those interested in the Partition of India.” – The National (UAE) Feb 7, 2019 Full Review Manikarnika (2019) 45% 2.5/5 EDIT “When talent is matched with mediocrity in a project, talent can only take it so far.” – The National (UAE) Jan 31, 2019 Full Review Robo 2.0 (2018) 55% 3.5/5 EDIT “2.0 is a very clever spectacle not to be missed for its sheer audacity and scale.” – The National (UAE) Nov 30, 2018 Full Review Pihu (1970) 67% EDIT “I'm not one to be lenient to films, but I will say it - this movie is a must-watch.” – The National (UAE) Nov 19, 2018 Full Review 5 Weddings (2018) 14% 2/5 EDIT “The plot writing and the development of the two main characters in the film are weak.” – The National (UAE) Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Andhadhun (2018) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “As the chain of events unfold, the wit is very nicely interspersed with hard-hitting moments of greed and deceit providing a shock-and-awe effect that leaves you wondering how vulnerable can a common man be.” – The National (UAE) Oct 5, 2018 Full Review Batti Gul Meter Chalu (2018) 17% 2/5 EDIT “No one is expecting the artist in Singh to deliver a masterpiece with every creation but the direction is very sloppy by any standard and certainly not expected from the director with some decent experience.” – The National (UAE) Sep 21, 2018 Full Review Pad Man (2018) 74% 3.5/5 EDIT “The first step for his audience is to acknowledge and shed inhibitions...That itself makes it a worthy cause to watch it, purely for the social message.” – The National (UAE) Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Paltan (2018) 29% EDIT “Some scenes are so blurry and unimpressive, it looks almost as if they were shot on a smartphone.” – The National (UAE) Sep 6, 2018 Full Review
