Honest, in-depth reviews of the latest films, web series and OTT originals — Bollywood and Hollywood.

Saif Ali Khan · Akshay Kumar · Shriya Pilgaonkar
by Rohit Khilnani
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.
