Honest, in-depth reviews of the latest films, web series and OTT originals — Bollywood and Hollywood.
Featured Review
Ayushmann Khurrana · Sara Ali Khan
by Rohit Khilnani
Udta Teer takes off brilliantly but loses altitude in the second half. It still delivers enough laughs to deserve a shot on the big screen.
MOVIEGulshan Devaiah · Rasika Dugal · Hridansh Parekh
A gentle, nostalgic feel-good film set in 1990s Goa. Good intentions and charming performances, but slow pacing may test your patience.
MOVIESonakshi Sinha · Zaheer Iqbal
A well-crafted psychological thriller that offers more than its trailer promises. Watch it on the big screen, and go in blind.
MOVIEGenden Phuntsok · Tom Hiddleston · Willem Dafoe
Films like Tenzing don't come very often, because people like Tenzing Norgay don't come very often. A deeply moving portrait of the man who climbed many mountains before Everest.
MOVIERajkummar Rao · Wamiqa Gabbi · Jaideep Ahlawat · Lalit Prabhakar
Rajkummar Rao disappears into the role of Ujjwal Nikam in this assured courtroom drama about 26/11 and India's commitment to the rule of law. A compelling, important film.
MOVIEAjay Devgn · Tabu · Jaideep Ahlawat · Prakash Raj
The biggest challenge for Drishyam: The Conclusion is that we already know the basic game. And yet, somehow, the film keeps you invested. Drama, drama and more drama — this is pure entertainment, executed with confidence.
MOVIEDakota Johnson · Anne Hathaway · Josh Hartnett
Verity is one of those psychological thrillers where, once it starts, you find yourself glued to the screen, waiting to see what happens next. And honestly, how often does a thriller manage to do that?
WEB SERIESFatima Sana Shaikh · Aneet Padda · Raghubir Yadav
Hunkkaar is an acting workshop, a masterclass in storytelling and an eye-opener for an audience whose memory can sometimes be like a goldfish. These are stories we should never forget.
OTT FILMParineeti Chopra
Poorly written and badly directed, Shaque – Trust No One doesn't just test your patience — it leaves you with even more shaque about how this one got approved in the first place.
MOVIEPrithviraj Sukumaran · Kareena Kapoor Khan
Meghna Gulzar puts two completely different ideas of justice against each other — and the debate is the film's biggest strength. Daayra may not have all the answers, but it makes you ask the right questions.
MOVIEKunal Kemmu · Preity Zinta · Sparsh Shrivastava · Vanshika Dhir
Kunal Kemmu directs himself in an action comedy that knows it doesn't have to take itself too seriously — and that self-awareness is its biggest strength. Vibe entertains even when it's predictable.
MOVIESaif Ali Khan · Akshay Kumar · Saiyami Kher
Priyadarshan remakes his own Malayalam hit Oppam and loses everything that made the original work. The premise still has potential, but the writing, characterisation, casting and tone fail to create the tension or emotional investment needed for this kind of thriller.
MOVIEPankaj Tripathi · Ali Fazal · Divyenndu · Jitendra Kumar
A world audiences already love gets the scale of a theatrical film without losing what made the series work in the first place.
MOVIETaapsee Pannu · Ishwak Singh
Taapsee and Ishwak do their jobs well, but the writing and direction do not give them enough to work with in this action thriller that never really thrills.
MOVIEYash · Nayanthara · Kiara Advani · Huma Qureshi
There are bad films, then there are really bad films. And then there is something like Geetu Mohandas' Yash-starrer Toxic — a lavish spectacle with everything except a story strong enough to hold it together.
MOVIEJason Statham · Annabelle Wallis · Roland Møller
Jason Statham is back with Mutiny, another action film that gives him exactly the kind of role his fans expect. Statham plays Cole Reed, a former Special Forces operative framed for his billionaire boss's murder — and his search for the truth leads to a massive ship and a much bigger conspiracy.
MOVIEEmraan Hashmi · Disha Patani · Shabana Azmi
There is something about watching Emraan Hashmi on the big screen. Whether he has short hair or long hair, the camera seems to love him, and he has that rare intensity that makes you want to keep watching. Awarapan 2 works largely because of him.
WEB SERIESSiddharth · Jimmy Shergill · Abhay Verma · Mihir Ahuja
War dramas can be tricky. They can either become overly jingoistic or simply tell the story with honesty. Operation Safed Sagar belongs firmly in the second category — a slick, stylish and authentic retelling of the Indian Air Force's crucial role in the Kargil War.
MOVIETom Holland · Zendaya · Florence Pugh
There's something magical about watching Spider-Man swing through the skyscrapers of New York. That sense of wonder remains intact in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but this time the film takes a very different route — far more dialogue-driven and emotionally heavy than the fun-filled adventure many will be expecting.
WEB SERIESVikrant Massey · Vedika Pinto · Mahima Makwana
Before you sit down to watch Musafir Cafe, do yourself a favour. Make sure you're actually free. Musafir Cafe needs your attention because it takes its own time. It lets its characters, conversations and emotions breathe — something we're honestly not used to anymore.
WEB SERIESKay Kay Menon · Prasanna Bisht
In an era of action movies, loud comedies and preachy social dramas, Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya strikes a refreshing balance. Rooted, relatable and genuinely funny — while quietly delivering an important message about education, hope and the people who refuse to give up.
MOVIEChristopher Nolan · Matt Damon · Zendaya
Christopher Nolan has always made films that demand to be seen on the biggest screen possible. With The Odyssey, he doesn't just meet that expectation — he obliterates it. A breathtaking, mind-bending epic that is simultaneously his most ambitious and most intimate work.
