Made in Korea (2026) Rohan Naahar The very existence of such slop is a slap in the face of talented filmmakers who struggle for decades trying to do honest work. This is an insult not only to them, but also to audiences who pay hard-earned money to Netflix every month.

Made in Korea (2026) Akhil Arora A lazy excuse of a film made by an inept group of people with no idea what they’re doing.

Subedaar (2026) Rohan Naahar Subedaar fools you into watching a ‘70s-style neo-Western about corruption and caste by presenting it as a South Indian remake.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Subedaar (2026) Akhil Arora Anil Kapoor’s refreshingly muted lead performance and the film's disguised social commentary do not make up for its tonal missteps and a frustrating lack of imagination.

Songs of Paradise (2025) Rohan Naahar Songs of Paradise could’ve worked as a metaphor for post-Independence Kashmir, but instead, it’s like a bedtime story for five-year-olds.

Inspector Zende (2025) Rohan Naahar Inspector Zende, the new spoof movie starring Manoj Bajpayee and Jim Sarbh, succeeds as a concept but fails in execution. What could’ve been a homegrown homage to The Naked Gun comes across as a first draft in need of clever rewrites.

Homebound (2025) Rohan Naahar Neeraj Ghaywan's moving second feature takes a daring, humanist approach to spotlighting minority communities, and how a tragedy like the COVID-19 pandemic affected them.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Param Sundari (2025) Rohan Naahar Param Sundari, the new film starring Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra, seems to make things up as it goes along.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Lokah - Chapter 1: Chandra (2025) Rohan Naahar Lokah is let down by an inert narrative, jarring action, and inelegant world-building that includes an unnecessary detour into Kantara territory.

Nishaanchi (2025) Rohan Naahar Anurag Kashyap’s Nishaanchi: Part 1 is a welcome return to form, and the long-awaited spiritual successor to Gangs of Wasseypur that his fans have been waiting for.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Nishaanchi 2 (2025) Rohan Naahar Nishaanchi: Part 2 features arguably the best climax that Anurag Kashyap has ever orchestrated.

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari (2025) Rohan Naahar Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is more like a sitcom written by a Dharma committee than a proper movie.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
The Girlfriend (2025) Rohan Naahar The Girlfriend seems like a direct response to the widespread misogyny of Indian cinema, but it feels disingenuous because it stars someone who has defended that very misogyny.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Dhurandhar (2025) Rohan Naahar You cannot separate a film’s politics from its craft—you cannot separate your own politics from your opinion. Dhurandhar is vile propaganda whose influence will spread beyond even its target audience of unemployed youth and WhatsApp uncles.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Rohan Naahar Undone by a lack of humour and self-awareness, poor dialogue, and incomprehensible third act action sequences, Avatar: Fire and Ash is the weakest installment of James Cameron's trilogy.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders (2025) Rohan Naahar Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders is more than just a way for director Honey Trehan to pay the rent; it's a rather daring indictment of "gunda raaj".
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Haq (2025) Rohan Naahar Riddled with harmful stereotypes and disturbingly proud of irresponsibly presenting an entire community as savages, Haq is an even more insidious propaganda piece than Dhurandhar.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Kalamkaval (2025) Rohan Naahar Kalamkaval—the new investigative thriller in which Mammootty plays a serial killer—is a dull, dour, and deeply frustrating film.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Cactus Pears (2025) Rohan Naahar Sabar Bonda, the Marathi film that won a prestigious honour at Sundance, is either a poetic exploration of the road not taken or a pretentious try-hard desperate to feel important.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
A Match (2023) Rohan Naahar A deftly written, confidently shot, and expertly performed psychological drama about the commodification of women.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Tere Ishk Mein (2025) Rohan Naahar A misogynist, hate-mongering pile of slop, the movie exists to validate its incel male audience’s opinions about all womankind.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Kennedy (2023) Rohan Naahar Bogged down by a baffling narrative, vague rumination about corruption and power, and long stretches of inaction, Kennedy is Anurag Kashyap's most inauthentic film in a while.

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (2025) Rohan Naahar Does Croatia even know what it has gotten itself into by inviting the Kartik Aaryans of the world to visit?
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Accused (2026) Rohan Naahar Accused, the tone-deaf "feminist" film on Netflix, is the equivalent of Neha Dhupia going "It’s her choice" on Roadies.
Posted Mar 05, 2026  Edit critic review
Accused (2026) Akhil Arora An utterly misguided defence of a serial harasser, groomer, and all-around toxic human being.
Posted Mar 01, 2026  Edit critic review
Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (2025) Akhil Arora A pointless brand-driven travel vlog first half, which unexpectedly transforms into a combination of Baghban and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.

The Electric State (2025) Akhil Arora The United Nations should probably intervene and impose sanctions on streamers for wasting over $300 million on movies like The Electric State.

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Akhil Arora Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning may or may not be Tom Cruise’s final time playing IMF agent Ethan Hunt, but the movie is certainly not worthy of taking on sendoff responsibilities.
