Your heart beats for Nisha! A gripping performance by Maria Mozdah!
Thappad Movie Review: Why be a doormat wife? @ 3 Mar 2020 10:25 am - Thappad Movie Review on Opening Doorz. Thappad is a lesson for men and women, especially for the woman of how not to be a doormat wife! By Martin D'Souza.

Tanhaji Movie Review: Too much cinematic liberty! @ 11 Jan 2020 6:54 pm - Tanhaji Movie Review on Opening Doorz: The sets are lavish, the screenplay laudable and the background score is good. The Script lacks depth.
Chhapaak Movie Review: Not entirely engrossing! @ 10 Jan 2020 7:04 pm - Chhapaak Hindi Movie Review: It is not entirely gripping, yet is socially relevant. Full marks for Deepika for stepping out of her comfort zone.
Marjaavaan Movie Review: Milap Zaveri kills his own creation! @ 15 Nov 2019 1:48 pm - Milap Zaveri, who also credits himself with the writing, has himself to blame for this shoddy piece of craft that would have best been appreciated in the 90s!
War Movie Review: How the Wild West was lost! @ 2 Oct 2019 6:55 pm - Technically, the film is sound with the action scenes being first-rate. However, Siddharth Anand loses his grip on War by being generous with 36 extra minutes. Pankaj Kapur did the same mistake with Mausam with a run-time of 168 minutes! 
Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas Movie Review: A below-par launch vehicle! @ 21 Sep 2019 10:44 am - Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas is a below-par launch vehicle for Karan Deol, who is stiff, dances with two left feet and has to work on his dialogue delivery.
Super 30 Movie Review: Super Show by Hrithik Roshan! @ 12 Jul 2019 4:02 pm - After 30 minutes into the film, director Vikas Bahl goes astray, focussing too much on drama rather than making the teaching a realistic affair. The slant is more on appealing to the emotions than dishing out a crisp plot. 
Avengers Endgame Movie Review: Did it really have to end? @ 29 Apr 2019 7:14 pm - For a Marvel fan who is familiar with the superheroes and has binged on the films, this is a delight and a must-watch.

Junglee Movie Review: Haathi Mayhem Saathi! @ 29 Mar 2019 2:48 pm - Junglee Movie Review: It's Haathi Mayhem Saathi. The movie does start with a promise but misses its mark because of the poor support cast.
Gully Boy Movie Review: Happy Gully Boy to you! @ 14 Feb 2019 6:36 pm - Gully Boy is a celebration of life in Asia’s largest Slum. It does not demean the society but brings it to light in a beautiful manner without the frills and fancy of a typical Bollywood film. No naach gaana, no dishoom dishoom, just plain story-telling with its heart in the right place.
Why Cheat India Movie Review: Why Emraan, why? @ 18 Jan 2019 12:51 pm - The only actor to catch the eye is Shreya Dhanwanthary who excels in the ‘Plain Jane’ look as well as the girl in a corporate set-up. Her transition, screen presence and character graph is the only good thing in the flick.
The Accidental Prime Minister Movie Review: Akshaye is King! @ 11 Jan 2019 4:00 pm - The movie is more a docu-comedy with director Vijay Gutte trying to highlight Dr Singh as he is. In that sense, he has been honest and Dr Singh’s character shines out throughout.
Mauli Movie Review: Mauli, Nana, Mauli… Triple Entertainment! @ 14 Dec 2018 11:08 am - The twist in the tale comes at the interval and you wonder how the film will move on. But Aditya Sarpotdar and Mauli Sarjerao Deshmukh have other plans.
Andhadhun Movie Review: From diminuendo to crescendo! @ 5 Oct 2018 2:04 pm - Andhadhun Movie Review: Sriram Raghavan’s Andhadhun is both, subtly comic as well as engagingly tense. It’s full of suspense till the end.
Manto Movie review: Manto fires you to speak up! @ 23 Sep 2018 10:48 pm - Director Nandita Das needs a standing ovation. Her painstaking work of going back in time to the pre- and post partition days is brutal in its depiction. Even though she lingers only but a moment on a scene, it is enough to understand the viciousness of it all.
Bar, bar dekho… hazaar bar dekho! @ 20 Sep 2018 3:48 pm - The entire production is top class with the subtle music (Baapi-Tutul) drawing you into the plot right from the very first scene and being an intrinsic character in the story till the end. 
Satyameva Jayate Movie Review: A big letdown! @ 16 Aug 2018 2:44 pm - Corrupt policemen are being burnt systematically by one Veer (John Abraham) and DCP Shivaansh (Manoj Bajpayee) is at his wits end since he is being challenged by the killer. The film takes you back to the early 90s, where characters had no meaning and heroines were showpieces.
Mulk Movie Review: Power-house performances! @ 4 Aug 2018 10:30 pm - The end is mirrored beautifully to the prosecuting lawyer, those gathered in the courtroom and the viewers, that the perceived “They and “Us” conundrum is nothing but a ploy! Mulk is hard-hitting in that sense.
Fanney Khan Movie Review: Take a bow, Pihu Sand! @ 3 Aug 2018 1:30 pm - anney Khan could have been sharper and more realistic if the kidnapping was not turned into a joke by debutante director Atul Manjrekar. It could have been a Secret Superstar!
Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3 Movie Review: Baba bigger than Saheb! @ 27 Jul 2018 3:26 pm - There’s nothing of note here, even performance-wise from any actor. Director Tigmanshu Dhulia makes a mess of this flick without patching in on anything from the first and SBAG Returns. 
Dhadak Movie Review: Celebrating Ishaan and Janhvi! @ 22 Jul 2018 1:52 pm - Ishaan Khatter is earnest and ‘in with every scene’, making it his own without trying too hard. Janhvi Kapoor has an appealing and endearing screen presence and like Ishaan, her reading of every scene is commendable. 
Sanju Movie Review: Ranbir Dutt! @ 29 Jun 2018 2:27 pm - The film is an attempt to reiterate the Supreme Court judgement where it stated that “Sanjay Dutt is not a terrorist.” Having said that, it is entertaining with some teary-eyed moments but leaves that ‘little something’ out. 
Race 3 Movie Review: Racing downhill! @ 15 Jun 2018 1:58 pm - Since the plot is weak and you cannot hold the audience’s attention with mid-air pyrotechnics all the time, Director Remo D’Souza shuffles to his specialty (dance choreography) and throws in elaborate songs a la Himmesh Reshammiya’s music videos. When that too doesn’t work, he moves to Cambodia to sneak off a hard disk from a Bank’s locker.
Bioscopewala Movie Review: A tale of love, longing and hope! @ 26 May 2018 10:42 am - Bioscopewala is a tale well told and a movie worth a watch if quality cinema is your forte!
Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain Movie Review: I Love You! @ 19 May 2018 11:18 am - For most, marriage is a given and the relationship is taken for granted. But life is not a given, make the most of it by expressing your love. This is what Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain is all about. It’s a slice of life film which is worth a watch.
Raazi Movie Review: An espionage thriller! @ 11 May 2018 4:54 pm - Raazi celebrates unsung heroes in India’s war; Sehmat is one of them. A huge plus here is that Meghna could have had the audience stand up in attention towards the end by having the National Anthem played; she stays away from rhetoric.
102 Not Out Movie Review: I hope you understand! @ 4 May 2018 4:37 pm - 102 movie review: Saddled between two giant actors, Jimit Trivedi comes out a winner with his performance which does not exaggerate even once.
October Movie Review: A must-watch this April! @ 13 Apr 2018 7:29 pm - October is not your typical Bollywood film and I’m glad Soojit Sircar has not stuck to a particular genre but works across storyboards: it’s a film you can watch any month of the year. But first watch it in April!
Blackmail Movie Review: A hole in the plot! @ 6 Apr 2018 7:04 pm - Blackmail Movie Review: Blackmail I believe was I intended to be funny (black comedy); but the joke is on the film itself!B. A. Pass Movie Review: Graduating with flying colours! @ 6 Apr 2018 6:37 pm - B A Pass may appear to be a simple graduation story, but it teaches us that life on the streets requires a different level of skill set. Graduating among the sharks of the world is a daily process, not a five-year-plan!
That Girl in Yellow Boots Movie Review: A must-see film @ 6 Apr 2018 6:26 pm - You may not be able to enjoy the movie, but you will definitely take home a lesson. A lesson Anurag has clinically passed on with an underlying, chilling message: Children from broken families are always broken from the inside. No matter how tough they appear from the outside.
Lunch Box Movie Review: A horribly flawed plot! @ 6 Apr 2018 5:55 pm - Watching Irrfan and Nawazuddin in the same frame is a treat. As the new recruit who is to take on Sajjan’s job in the Claims Department, Nawazuddin is annoying to the point of being likeable. Nimrat is just perfect for this role and she dishes out every scene with brilliance rarely seen in someone so new.
Baaghi 2 Movie Review: Prateik Babbar, Randeep Hooda steal the show! @ 30 Mar 2018 7:18 pm - Don’t go looking for a story or logic in Baaghi 2. The plot is convoluted at best, but even with a mess of a storyline, you are treated to some fine performances thanks to Prateik Babbar, Randeep Hooda, Deepak Dobriyal and to some extent, Darshan Kumar.
Hichki Movie Review: Too many hiccups! @ 23 Mar 2018 11:15 pm - Tourette’s Syndrome is the hero in Hickhi. Throughout the film, the neuropsychiatric disorder is highlighted with 'screaming delight' by director Siddharth P Malhotra. Everything else takes a backseat as the disorder takes centre stage.
Raid Movie Review: Celebrating honest IT officers! @ 17 Mar 2018 9:59 am - Raid touches the heart celebrating honest government officials who fight a lone battle. Gupta has kept the narrative alive with moments of intrigue and suspense. It’s a good one-time watch.
3 Storeys Movie Review: Thrice as nice! @ 10 Mar 2018 6:49 pm - Writer Althea Delmas-Kaushal weaves a good plot, set in a Mumbai chawl, spinning three stories that are inter-linked with the characters living there. The suspense is delivered without much of a fuss and all three stories leave you nodding your head in approval for the manner of its treatment.
Dil Junglee Movie Review: A complete disregard to sanity! @ 10 Mar 2018 9:38 am - If you are looking for a story there is none; it’s a mockery on everyday life. A girl who has received even half the education as Tapsee’s Koroli Nair, will never behave like she does. A complete disregard to sanity!
Padman Movie Review: What man, Padman? @ 9 Feb 2018 9:12 am - R Balki has taken a bold step to highlight the work of Arunachalam Muruganantham, but he has lost the plot in translating it on celluloid. Moreover, at two hours 20 minutes, this pad story is a tad tiresome. Tell me why… Amaya? @ 29 Jan 2018 11:59 am - Listen… Amaya is for everyone who has the time to look beyond the needs of self. Take a bow, Avinash Kumar Singh and Geeta Singh. A ‘now’ story, lovingly told!
Padmaavat Movie Review: It’s a Ranveer Singh show! @ 25 Jan 2018 10:32 pm - The canvass is grand but there is that something lacking that would have made it an epic film. Methinks, if every character was invested in as passionately as Khilji, Padmaavat would have passed with flying colours.
Vodka Diaries Movie Review: Many shots recommended! @ 19 Jan 2018 6:00 pm - Vodka Diaries has suspense, intrigue and deceit. It also has performances that are true to character. Moreover, it never overshoots its stay on screen and has a plot that is executed with grandeur.
Kaalakaandi Movie Review: As painful as a Nakabandi! @ 12 Jan 2018 3:31 pm - Sobhita Dhulipala is arresting with her screen presence and performance in Kaalakaandi. Ditto Isha Talwar. These two stand out with their delivery, adding a dash of depth to their characters.
PaniPath Movie Review: Gut-wrenching and educative! @ 21 Dec 2017 1:57 pm - PaniPath is gut-wrenching as much as it is educative. It is also an eye-opener for anyone willing to step out of his or her comfort zone and begin making a change—A change for the underprivileged.
Chhuri Movie Review: Sharp. Very, very sharp! @ 21 Dec 2017 9:39 am - Anurag Kashyap like Tisca Chopra is brilliant in his act. Surveen Chawla, as usual, tops up with another scintillating performance. Watch out for the two statements that change the course of the narrative. Take a bow, Mansi Jain, Chhuri is sharp. Very sharp.
Tumhari Sulu Movie Review: In tune with Vidya Balan! @ 17 Nov 2017 8:39 pm - Though it is a Vidya Balan show throughout, one cannot discount the powerful, underlying performance of Neha Dhupia who cuts through several layers of the script to hit the high notes. 
Ittefaq Movie Review: A lame thriller! @ 3 Nov 2017 1:27 pm - Ittefaq does not have that necessary ‘X’ factor that would categorize it in the thriller segment. Sadly, performances too are mandatory.
Jia Aur Jia Movie Review: Lost in translation! @ 27 Oct 2017 6:53 pm - The story held promise on paper. How it was executed, would have always been the driving force. Having said that, there were huge gaping holes in the plot that defied logic which even a director of Anurag Kashyap’s caliber, would have found difficult to execute!
Golmaal Again Movie Review: A Rohit Shetty film! @ 20 Oct 2017 8:37 pm - Golmaal Again is a good one-time watch. You venture expecting no logic; you exit getting more laughs than expected.
Secret Superstar Movie Review: A bridge over troubled waters! @ 19 Oct 2017 4:23 pm - Secret Superstar is about a mother-daughter bonding. It’s also about the girl child. It’s also about cruel, dominating husbands who have an obvious bias towards a male. It’s also about women who suffer violence, silently in a marriage. This movie is worth going miles to see.
Chef Movie Review: Yummylicious! @ 6 Oct 2017 7:22 pm - Chef is delicious, yummy and appetizing with a wonderful aroma of family values. It’s worth settling down to savor!
Newton Movie Review: Pitch-perfect performances! @ 22 Sep 2017 9:05 pm - Newton Movie Review offers pitch-perfect performances. It is for the purist who looks for meat in the script and bite in the performances.

Tubelight Movie Review: An apt title! @ 23 Jun 2017 1:57 pm - Tubelight Movie Review. An apt title for a movie that has no writing. Kabir Khan plays heavily on emotions. There's no sanity in scenes.
