3.5/5
Die My Love (2025) Santanu Das Even when the film shakes, Jennifer Lawrence holds it tight. She delivers a soul-baring, utterly breathtaking performance.

Cheekatilo (2026) Neeshita Nyayapati A film like this needed more sensitivity and nuance, but what we get feels performative.

3.5/5
Border 2 (2026) Rishabh Suri While its excesses are hard to ignore, so is its sincerity. The film reaches back into a time when patriotism in cinema was worn unapologetically... when heroes spoke loudly and emotions rang true.

2.5/5
Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos (2026) Rishabh Suri Ultimately, a handful of performances and cameos manage to inject fleeting energy, but they cannot compensate for humour that feels thinly stretched in Happy Patel.

2/5
Rahu Ketu (2026) Rishabh Suri Varun and Pulkit as Rahu-Ketu try their best, but most of what they do feels improv rather than intentionally comic. Almost as if they were trying hard to make the unfunny bits work.

3.5/5
Song Sung Blue (2025) Samarth Goyal Anchored by deeply humane turns from Hugh and Kate, it may be old-fashioned in spirit, but it carries enough emotional truth to earn its place well beyond nostalgia.

2/5
The Raja Saab (2025) Neeshita Nyayapati The Raja Saab’s aim might be to make you laugh, but the overall film needed more profundity and brilliance.
Posted Jan 09, 2026Edit critic review
2/5
The Thing with Feathers (2025) Samarth Goyal Its heart is in the right place, and Benedict’s performance alone makes it worth engaging with, yet the film’s insistence on externalising pain in such an overbearing way keeps viewers at a distance.
Posted Jan 08, 2026Edit critic review
3.5/5
Ikkis (2025) Rishabh Suri Overall, Ikkis works best when it stops trying to be a war film and becomes a painful reminder. It tells you something unbearable: that our freedoms were bought by people who never got to live theirs.

2/5
Anaconda (2025) Samarth Goyal Anaconda understands that not every film needs to say something profound — but it forgets that it still needs to be entertaining. Its self-awareness mistakes recognition for critique, and nostalgia for purpose.

2.5/5
Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (2025) Rishabh Suri You might stay for the warmth of the veterans, but you will leave still searching for the love the title promised.
Posted Dec 29, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Goodbye June (2025) Samarth Goyal There is nothing inherently wrong with a tearjerker, and Goodbye June earns many of its emotional beats through craft and calibre alone. Yet its carefully arranged grief, polished warmth and preordained reconciliations keep it at arm’s length.
Posted Dec 29, 2025Edit critic review
4/5
No Other Choice (2025) Santanu Das No Other Choice is a film of acute sensibility and ambition, and further cements the status of Park Chan-wook as one of our greatest living filmmakers.

3.5/5
The Sun Rises on Us All (2025) Santanu Das Zhilei delivers a rich and nuanced performance, marked by unvarnished emotional complexity.

3.5/5
Father Mother Sister Brother (2025) Santanu Das Jim Jarmusch's latest film is charming and might initially seem too simple for its own good, but it has a lovely wisdom that lingers.
Posted Dec 20, 2025Edit critic review
4.5/5
Little Trouble Girls (2025) Santanu Das Djukić has made a richly atmospheric and sensual film, one that never fetishises the untangling of Lucia's sexuality. It gives her space and lets her breathe.
Posted Dec 20, 2025Edit critic review
4/5
Young Mothers (2025) Santanu Das None of these girls comes under any judgment, and the film offers them space and a warmth of community that carries them through.
Posted Dec 20, 2025Edit critic review
Romería (2025) Santanu Das The film's metamorphosis in the third act is rather heavy-handed, and unfortunately, incurious in the manner it deals with substance abuse.
Posted Dec 20, 2025Edit critic review
4/5
Sound of Falling (2025) Santanu Das The Sound of Falling pushes and challenges the limits of visual inquiry, as the film also transforms as if we are being watched.
Posted Dec 20, 2025Edit critic review
5/5
It Was Just an Accident (2025) Santanu Das It is a film that is not just about one country, but arrives like a warning to authoritarian regimes everywhere, a signal for citizens of the world.
Posted Dec 20, 2025Edit critic review
If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Santanu Das Rose Byrne's volcanic performance anchors the film.
Posted Dec 20, 2025Edit critic review
3.5/5
The Mastermind (2025) Santanu Das The Mastermind is a political film in the realist, most gripping manner, which intends to knock its protagonist- and in extension, the viewer- sideways.
Posted Dec 20, 2025Edit critic review
Miroirs No. 3 (2025) Santanu Das Paula Beer shines in this psychological drama infused with mystery and wisdom, that rewards the viewer as it unfolds.
Posted Dec 20, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders (2025) Rishabh Suri ...even when it stumbles, Raat Akeli Hai 2 remains compelling. There was scope to make it an even darker investigation drama. But a solid cast and a neatly resolved climax make it a worthy follow-up in spirit, if not in structure.
Posted Dec 19, 2025Edit critic review
2/5
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Abhimanyu Mathur There are breathtaking visuals, some of which are unlike anything seen in cinema. There is a vast canvas on which Cameron lets his creativity loose. But that is just it. All that is hollow, not complemented by any emotional depth.
Posted Dec 17, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Saali Mohabbat (2025) Rishabh Suri What could have been a wickedly layered whodunit settles instead for the obvious. You’re left admiring the intention, even the performances, but wishing the film had the nerve to be far more surprising than it ultimately is.
Posted Dec 12, 2025Edit critic review
2.5/5
Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 (2025) Rishabh Suri [Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2] offers a handful of entertaining moments and a game cast, yet the stretched runtime keeps it from landing as confidently as it should.

Jay Kelly (2025) Santanu Das It is George Clooney who saves the day.

3/5
Dhurandhar (2025) Rishabh Suri The storytelling is indulgent and detailed, but the emotional stakes and the cast keep you hooked. Trim thirty minutes and this would have been a knockout.
Posted Dec 05, 2025Edit critic review
1.5/5
Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) Samarth Goyal Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 plays like brand maintenance rather than filmmaking—an endurance exercise built to serve franchise loyalty instead of storytelling. It’s not scary, not thrilling, and not even entertaining in the so-bad-it’s-good way.
Posted Dec 05, 2025Edit critic review
2.5/5
Oh. What. Fun. (2025) Santanu Das Michelle Pfeiffer leads this Christmas Comedy that takes on a new spin on the central crisis of the Home Alone movies we have come to love.

3/5
Tere Ishk Mein (2025) Rishabh Suri The film bleeds emotion. By the time the final moments arrive, you realise this is not a love story that asks for your approval; it demands your surrender. In bits and pieces.
Posted Dec 02, 2025Edit critic review
4/5
Gustaakh Ishq (2025) Rishabh Suri Overall, Gustaakh Ishq meanders and sometimes tests your patience, but rewards you with a world that finds its emotional centre.

3.5/5
Eternity (2025) Samarth Goyal Beautifully imagined, cleverly written and brimming with feeling, it’s an ode to love in all its contradictions — the one we dream about, the one we grow through, and the one that defines us long after life ends.
Posted Dec 02, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Zootopia 2 (2025) Samarth Goyal Packed with humour, heart and breathtaking animation, Zootopia 2 confidently earns its place as a worthy successor—and arguably one of the sharpest buddy-cop adventures in recent memory.

3/5
Nishaanchi 2 (2025) Rishabh Suri It may come from modest expectations, but it leaves you with the sense of a story finally told the way it always wanted to be.

5/5
Train Dreams (2025) Santanu Das Netflix has a hidden gem in Clint Bentley's mesmerising adaptation of Denis Johnson’s best-selling novella. Do not miss it.

1.5/5
Mastiii 4 (2025) Samarth Goyal The jokes collapse faster than the marriages at the centre of the film, the recycled punchlines feel like last-minute panic, and the crude humour overwhelms everything else.
Posted Nov 22, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
120 Bahadur (2025) Rishabh Suri What 120 Bahadur needed was a stronger emotional spine throughout to bind its technical strengths together. That too minus the cliched melodrama.

3/5
Kaantha (2025) Neeshita Nyayapati Kaantha, much like the film industry it is set in, has much to offer in terms of dizzying fame, passionate affairs and unchecked ego. However, the highs and lows of the film seem starkly in contrast, also much like the industry it is set in.
Posted Nov 17, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Samarth Goyal If anything, it is a breezy, star-driven crowd-pleaser that delivers exactly the amount of fun you expect — and almost none of the finesse you hope for. A good time? Absolutely. A memorable one? Well, that might depend on how quickly the smoke clears.
Posted Nov 17, 2025Edit critic review
4/5
The Running Man (2025) Samarth Goyal Wright is in stride, but not in full sprint — delivering a dystopian ride that entertains consistently, yet stops just short of becoming the razor-edged satire it wants to be.
Posted Nov 17, 2025Edit critic review
The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) Santanu Das It is powerfully clear that Ben Hania wants this story to be told, that she wants Hind Rajab's gut-wrenching cries for help to reach far and wide. It is the only form of confrontation that cinema can achieve.
Posted Nov 16, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
De De Pyaar De 2 (2025) Rishabh Suri Overall, De De Pyaar De 2 works not because it surprises you, but because it stays honest about what it is: a breezy, mildly chaotic take on modern relationships.

3.5/5
Agra (2023) Santanu Das Kanu Behl takes a deep dive into the nasty, gloomy questions surrounding sexual repression and India's oppressive patriarchal reality with Agra.

4.5/5
The Secret Agent (2025) Santanu Das A film that begins with the breadcrumbs of intrigue—both political and personal —and then slows down. Sharp yet elusive, it is a story that is in no hurry to confront what lies ahead.
Posted Nov 14, 2025Edit critic review
2/5
Jatadhara (2025) Rishabh Suri It tries to be different, even if it loses its footing in over-the-top theatrics and forced emotion. What could have been an unsettling supernatural thriller ends up being a mixed bag: half compelling myth, half confused mayhem.
Posted Nov 10, 2025Edit critic review
3/5
Baramulla (2025) Rishabh Suri Despite its uneven moments, Baramulla remains a gripping watch, powered by Manav Kaul’s composed performance and Aditya’s confident direction.

3.5/5
Nuremberg (2025) Samarth Goyal James' film succeeds as a character study — a clash between intellects and egos set against the backdrop of justice trying to find its footing. But its fascination with showmanship occasionally blurs the moral clarity it seeks to evoke.
Posted Nov 10, 2025Edit critic review
2/5
Predator: Badlands (2025) Abhimanyu Mathur Not only is this spinoff bland, but it also demystifies one of Hollywood’s most iconic characters so wastefully that it feels tragic more than anything else.
