3.5/5
Dhurandhar: The Revenge (2026) Lachmi Deb Roy Not just a visual spectacle, but despite the huge run-time, Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is engaging, immersive, and ferociously intense.

Made in Korea (2026) Lachmi Deb Roy ...Made In Korea brings together Priyanka Mohan with South Korean actors Park Hye Jin and No Ho Jin, creating a heartfelt cultural bridge between India and Korea, brought to life with authenticity and emotional depth.

Jab Khuli Kitaab (2024) Vinamra Mathur Once you watch how the story unfolds, and ultimately concludes, you will realize there could not have been a better title than this. And there could not have been better actors than the ones chosen.

Boong (2024) Lachmi Deb Roy Lakshmipriya’s Boong is not just an immersive and engaging watch, but it shows us how people are tolerant and they don’t lose their sense of humour even during the harshest time of their life. It is a short and sweet tale of ’tolerance.’

Subedaar (2026) Zinia Bandyopadhyay Subedaar is a good one-time watch that needs to be on your binge list for the brilliant performances by the cast.

The Kerala Story 2: Goes Beyond (2026) Vinamra Mathur It could have genuinely been a gripping and jolting film had the makers relied more on coherence than cacophony.

Accused (2026) Lachmi Deb Roy The film is hugely engaging and immersive, and the narrative never thins out, and that is the beauty of good cinema. The lesson that we learn from this movie is that reputations are hard-earned, so keep them safe!

3.5/5
The Bluff (2026) Lachmi Deb Roy The Bluff is one of the most immersive films so far mainly because it is not just about killing and sword swinging, but mainly because it talks about resilience, the power of a mother and how far a woman can go to save her family.

3.5/5
Pavane (2026) Zinia Bandyopadhyay For audiences accustomed to fast-paced narratives and constant stimulation (yes reel addicts, I am talking about you!), Pavane may feel slow. It demands patience, attention, and emotional availability. In fact, it is not a film to be watched distractedly.

Do Deewane Seher Mein (2026) Lachmi Deb Roy The film is refreshing and engaging if you are in an undemanding and pleasant mood.

GOAT (2026) Zinia Bandyopadhyay For children, this will be a visually vibrant, fast-paced ride filled with excitement and humour. For adults, especially those who walk in unsuspecting like me, the film proves to be far more relatable than anticipated.

2.5/5
Wuthering Heights (2026) Lachmi Deb Roy As you keep watching the film, you will realise that Wuthering Heights is one step ahead of erotica in the way they dehumanise love.

3.5/5
O' Romeo (2026) Lachmi Deb Roy The best thing about O’ Romeo is that it is consistently engaging. O’ Romeo is a deadly combination of a poetic film and a gripping narrative which never thins down.

2.5/5
Tu Yaa Main (2026) Vinamra Mathur [Tu Yaa Main] does have moments of surprise and shock, both before and after that giant of an animal makes an appearance. It’s the longest you’ll see that creature on the big screen in a Hindi film.
Posted Feb 12, 2026Edit critic review
3/5
Kennedy (2023) Vinamra Mathur Kennedy is not Kashyap’s best, but a lyric of a song asks us ‘Did it succeed in fulfilling the voyeur in you?’ Maybe yes.
Posted Feb 10, 2026Edit critic review
2/5
Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain: Fun on the Run (2026) Vinamra Mathur Bhabhij Ghar Par Hain is a harmless and honest attempt at making something for the celluloid. It doesn’t seem to be timed correctly.

4/5
Vadh 2 (2026) Lachmi Deb Roy ‘Vadh 2’ is not a candy-floss love story, but it is deep and intense.
Posted Feb 06, 2026Edit critic review
4/5
Mardaani 3 (2026) Lachmi Deb Roy Amma’s character is raw, gruesome and unsettling. When you see her on screen, you can feel a steel finger running down the spine. In fact, that chilling is her performance.

3/5
Gandhi Talks (2026) Vinamra Mathur It is silly, satirical, satisfying, if not necessarily spectacular in its craft. But let’s not write too many words about a piece of work that relies on silences.
Posted Jan 30, 2026Edit critic review
3/5
Shelter (2026) Vinamra Mathur Shelter offers absolutely nothing new in terms of story, but compensates with taut dialogues.

4/5
Send Help (2026) Zinia Bandyopadhyay If you’re craving a fun, twisted watch and are exhausted by the hypermasculinity and action overdose Indian cinema is currently indulging in, Send Help might be just what you need. Fair warning, the gore is intense.

2/5
Border 2 (2026) Lachmi Deb Roy Out of due respect to each of the soldiers who fought for our country, I sat through the entire film. If you want to watch good war films, I suggest you watch Ikkis, but definitely not Border 2.

Marty Supreme (2025) Lachmi Deb Roy The film on the whole lacked direction and a proper vision.
Posted Jan 27, 2026Edit critic review
2/5
Cheekatilo (2026) Zinia Bandyopadhyay There was considerable potential in Cheekatilo. Unfortunately, with its muddled ideology and technical hiccups, much of that promise remains, quite literally, cheekatilo (in the dark).

3/5
Mercy (2026) Lachmi Deb Roy Mercy starts off well and is immersive too, but somewhere down the line the film feels immature and an absolute hotchpotch.

3.5/5
Primate (2025) Zinia Bandyopadhyay For fans of creature features and primal horror, Primate delivers enough to justify its existence. It embraces its pulpier elements...and executes them with confidence.
Posted Jan 23, 2026Edit critic review
2.5/5
Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos (2026) Vinamra Mathur It’s silly enough to mock its own central characters and smart enough to know how it’s done. But unlike that tenacious collaboration of 2011, this adult comedy relies solely on gags rather than taut humor.
Posted Jan 16, 2026Edit critic review
2.5/5
Rahu Ketu (2026) Zinia Bandyopadhyay From pacing to humour, consistency is the film’s biggest stumbling block. The narrative gathers momentum at moments, only to lose it almost immediately.

2.5/5
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Vinamra Mathur The jump scares are few and far between, and barring Jack O’Connell, who chews the scenery with his deliciously wicked performance, none of the actors get enough meat in their characters or performances.
Posted Jan 15, 2026Edit critic review
3/5
The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) Zinia Bandyopadhyay ...a film that is unapologetically silly, occasionally exhausting, but never unaware of why this porous yellow optimist has survived generations of television fatigue and franchise bloat.

Ikkis (2025) Lachmi Deb Roy [Ikkis] is indeed an emotionally wrenching films and it says so much more without actually the need to make a noise about it.

3/5
Goodbye June (2025) Lachmi Deb Roy The story of Netflix’s ‘Goodbye June’ is engaging, slow, and a reflection for those who belong to big families with aging parents.

2.5/5
The Housemaid (2025) Vinamra Mathur It’s a film that refuses to reward a psychotic and problematic character for its unpardonable sins. It’s also a film that comes with its share of flaws, especially in the penultimate moments.

1.5/5
Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (2025) Zinia Bandyopadhyay The direction swings wildly, unsure whether it wants to be a breezy rom-com, a travel fantasy, a coming-of-age love story, or even a surface-level feminist tale, and ends up being none of the above.

3/5
Vrusshabha (2025) Vinamra Mathur There are never-ending historical titles out there floating around that have evaporated into oblivion, but this one should be able to walk a little more due to the way it has been crafted.

4/5
Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders (2025) Lachmi Deb Roy Just like Season 1, Netflix’s ‘Raat Akeli Hai’ 2 doesn’t divert from keeping the writing immersive and the best part of this film is that it never thins down.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Vinamra Mathur Since this is our third time seeing these spectacularly crafted species, the novelty and adrenaline rush seems to be fading away. And the first half feels like a slow burn.
Posted Dec 18, 2025Edit critic review
2.5/5
Saali Mohabbat (2025) Vinamra Mathur After a point, there are no surprise elements left. No shocking revelations. It’s only Apte playing her cards and telling the audiences through the writing of the thriller.

3/5
Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 (2025) Vinamra Mathur Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 isn’t very much different or apart from what we saw in 2015. But the veteran ensemble’s unapologetic participation in this curated farce is what keeps its boat sailing.

1.5/5
Akhanda 2 - Thaandavam (2025) Zinia Bandyopadhyay Logic has no place here, which is understandable, but Sreenu and Balakrishna ask viewers to stretch their imagination so far that it becomes headache inducing, and even the spirited calls of “Jai Balayya” begin to fade.

3.5/5
Dhurandhar (2025) Lachmi Deb Roy For the theatre going audiences, this film is a complete package and an absolute value for money. And the best thing about the film is not a single dialogue or scene looks forced or irrelevant.

3.5/5
Kaisi Ye Paheli (2025) Lachmi Deb Roy Unlike mainstream cinema, which glorifies mothers and praises an obedient son, independent movies like Kaisi Ye Paheli very courageously question the existence of a mother and kind of disrupt the entire institution of motherhood in a brave way.

Tere Ishk Mein (2025) Lachmi Deb Roy Filmmakers need to understand that by glorifying the so-called alpha men and their anger, they are actually encouraging anti-social elements and harming the society!

4/5
Gustaakh Ishq (2025) Lachmi Deb Roy When you have a movie produced by ace fashion designer, Manish Malhotra, you are prepared to immerse yourself in aesthetics and finer details of old-world charm. The language of love is very different in this film.
Posted Dec 02, 2025Edit critic review
0/5
Mastiii 4 (2025) Vinamra Mathur The issue with Mastiii 4 is that it doesn’t even qualify as an adult comedy. The crassness of the enterprise never allows the supposed raunchiness to go beyond some pretentiously provocative visuals.

120 Bahadur (2025) Lachmi Deb Roy Despite having some visual flourishes and solid source material, the movie didn’t live up to the expectations it could have.

2.5/5
Agra (2023) Vinamra Mathur Agra can never be an easy watch. It’s not supposed to be either. Behl attacks you with a film that jolts you with discomfort. It leaves you with an overwhelming sense of anguish with a minute respite as the film reaches its finish line.

3/5
The Running Man (2025) Ganesh Aaglave While the plot looks typical Bollywoodish underdog story, the stylish treatment, along with some masterful chase sequences, make it a gripping and thrilling affair. Despite being predictable, the film’s social commentary hits the right chord.

3.5/5
De De Pyaar De 2 (2025) Ganesh Aaglave Director Anshul Sharma impresses with his storytelling and makes this relevant tale entertaining and a breezy watch. While he will make you believe the characters are problematic, Sharma smartly adds twists to make you cheer, smile and laugh.
