Red Notice Movie Review: Red Alert… avoid this Hollywood ‘masterpiece’
Red Notice Movie Review: Red Alert… avoid this Hollywood ‘masterpiece’. It’s a movie about Cleopatra’s lost eggs and the dumb hunt for it.
Bell Bottom Movie Review: Bhel Bottom!

Toofan Movie Review: A boxing showreel for Farhan Akhtar!

War Movie Review: How the Wild West was lost!
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!

Why Cheat India Movie Review: Why Emraan, why?
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.

Satyameva Jayate Movie Review: A big letdown!

Hichki Movie Review: Too many hiccups!
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.
