Dead of Winter (2025) 76% 3.5/5 EDIT “Dead of Winter is a film that succeeds more in execution than in innovation. It may not break new ground within the thriller genre, but it distinguishes itself through its performances, atmosphere, and willingness to embrace tonal unpredictability.” – The Times of India Mar 20, 2026 Full Review Accused (2026) 29% 3.5/5 EDIT “It may not possess the adrenaline rush of conventional thrillers, but its moral ambiguity and emotional undercurrents linger long after the credits roll, making it a worthy addition to Hindi cinema’s expanding canon of women-led psychological narratives.” – The Times of India Feb 27, 2026 Full Review Border 2 (2026) 69% 3/5 EDIT “While Border 2 may not recreate the once-in-a-generation impact of its predecessor, it succeeds as an emotionally charged and crowd-pleasing war epic that largely delivers on its promise.” – The Times of India Jan 23, 2026 Full Review People We Meet on Vacation (2026) 76% 3/5 EDIT “Make no mistake: this is a rom-com assembled from familiar parts—rain-soaked kisses, pop-song needle drops, and grand declarations abound. Yet, like a comforting holiday retreat, the film’s predictability is part of its appeal.” – The Times of India Jan 12, 2026 Full Review The Thing with Feathers (2025) 46% 3/5 EDIT “Thoughtful yet flawed, it is a striking meditation on grief—powerful in moments, exhausting in others, and ultimately more impressive than moving.” – The Times of India Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders (2025) 80% 3/5 EDIT “For fans of the first film and admirers of Nawazuddin Siddiqui, it’s worth a watch—but temper expectations of a taut, pulse-pounding whodunit.” – The Times of India Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 (2025) 2.5/5 EDIT “Fun in parts and messy in many, it settles comfortably into the zone of a time-pass family entertainer.” – The Times of India Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Oh. What. Fun. (2025) 34% 3/5 EDIT “By the time its predictable reconciliation arrives, Oh. What. Fun. feels less like a fully realised exploration of motherhood and more like a lightly dusted Christmas card—sweet but generic, heartfelt but undercooked.” – The Times of India Dec 3, 2025 Full Review Jingle Bell Heist (2025) 76% 3/5 EDIT “...an entertaining, if uneven, Christmas caper buoyed by likable performances, clever stylistic touches, and just enough heart to hold it all together.” – The Times of India Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Mastiii 4 (2025) 2.5/5 EDIT “It offers a handful of laughs and some comfort-zone nostalgia for franchise loyalists. For everyone else, it’s a loud, uneven and often cringe-filled ride best avoided.” – The Times of India Nov 21, 2025 Full Review De De Pyaar De 2 (2025) 55% 3/5 EDIT “The uneven tone and sluggish stretches dilute its impact, even though flashes of wit and warmth shine through. Sharma manages to wrap it up on a grounded, feel-good note, but the film never quite finds the emotional depth or sharpness it aims for.” – The Times of India Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Ballad of a Small Player (2025) 49% 3/5 EDIT “It’s a visually sumptuous experience — dazzling yet emotionally distant.” – The Times of India Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat (2025) 2.5/5 EDIT “For audiences drawn to raw emotion, vintage-style romance, and the smouldering chemistry of two charismatic leads, the film offers moments worth holding onto. But for others, it remains a one-time watch to revive memories of the bygone era.” – The Times of India Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Culpa nuestra (2025) 3/5 EDIT “González captures the tension between love and resentment well, but the narrative feels repetitive and overly dependent on contrived coincidences.” – The Times of India Oct 16, 2025 Full Review Ufff Yeh Siyapaa (2025) 3/5 EDIT “With a tighter runtime and more taut editing, the film could have transcended its inventive premise into something truly remarkable. Still, its audacity and ambition make it worthy of appreciation.” – The Times of India Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Play Dirty (2025) 42% 3/5 EDIT “While it delivers bursts of anarchic fun, the film struggles to balance its tonal extremes, resulting in a curious hybrid: half exhilarating, half exhausting.” – The Times of India Oct 1, 2025 Full Review Crayon Shin-chan the Movie: Super Magnificent! Scorching Kasukabe Dancers (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Ultimately, Shin-chan: The Spicy Kasukabe Dancers is far from perfect — too slight for a feature film, too reliant on stereotypes — but it’s heartfelt, entertaining, and unexpectedly meaningful. ” – The Times of India Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Dangerous Animals (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “As a hybrid of survival thriller and creature feature, it offers guilty-pleasure thrills and a handful of effective scares, but lacks the consistency to become memorable. ” – The Times of India Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Inspector Zende (2025) 60% 3.5/5 EDIT “What sets Inspector Zende apart from other true-crime thrillers is its tone. Rather than brooding intensity, it embraces levity, almost positioning itself as a family-friendly thriller. ” – The Times of India Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Pretty Thing (2025) 47% 2.5/5 EDIT “While the film boasts glossy visuals and a capable central performance by Alicia Silverstone, it ultimately feels hollow—an undercooked narrative dressed up in seductive lighting.” – The Times of India Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Sweet Dreams (2025) 3/5 EDIT “Mukherjee masterfully balances the surreal with the grounded, immersing viewers in a story that keeps them questioning what is real and what is imagined. ” – The Times of India Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Cleaner (2025) 52% 3/5 EDIT “Anchored by a committed Daisy Ridley, the film is a functional but uneven ride—elevated by direction, hindered by writing.” – The Times of India Jun 25, 2025 Full Review The Prosecutor (2024) 94% 3/5 EDIT “The Prosecutor is a thoughtful legal thriller buoyed by Donnie Yen’s earnest performance and a relevant central theme. While it doesn’t fully transcend its genre constraints, it offers enough intrigue and energy to keep audiences engaged.” – The Times of India Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Dilli Dark (2023) 3/5 EDIT “[Dilli Dark] is an insightful, sometimes hilarious, sometimes meandering exploration of race, identity, and survival in modern Delhi. Despite its imperfections, it is worth watching for its unique voice and daring themes.” – The Times of India May 29, 2025 Full Review Fight or Flight (2024) 76% 3/5 EDIT “Fight or Flight may hit some narrative turbulence, but with Hartnett’s swagger and Madigan’s visual flair, it still makes for an entertaining—if implausible—ride.” – The Times of India Apr 20, 2025 Full Review
