De De Pyaar De 2 – movie review

De De Pyaar De 2 is a glossy sequel that falls much behind the charm of its predecessor, lacking the freshness of it's first part. The film sort of reminds one of Cheeni Kum quite often while watching it. This romantic comedy stumbles over uneven writing, not so funny moments and lacks emotional depth. After having convinced his family of his choice of getting married to Ayesha Khurana (28 years old) in De De Pyaar De, Ashish Mehra the 52-year-old London-based NRI investor now embarks on seeking approval from Ayesha's family. Though it shouldn't have been surprising that the girl's father is just a year older than the groom. Proclaiming that they are "We are educated progressive people, modern cultured thinking", yet the girls parents are not happy with her choice of marrying a man who is almost her father's age, divorced and has 2 grown up children. Ayesha tells Ashish ....

Hi Zindagi – movie review

Blending emotional drama with a socially urgent message, Hi Zindagi ignites a powerful conversation around the need to make India’s rape laws gender-neutral.

Directed by Ajay Ram and produced by lawyer-turned-filmmaker Sunil Kumar Aggarwal, the film boldly confronts a legal system that fails to recognize male victims of sexual violence—exposing the silence, stigma, and systemic gaps that surround their trauma.

Can men also be victims of sexual violence?

This is the haunting question Hi Zindagi raises through its unsettling narrative, inspired by real-life incidents. The film follows four affluent, carefree women� ....

Ek Chatur Naar – movie review

The eponymous name of the movie Ek Chatur Naar, has been derived from the song of the movie Padosan, however it has no further bearing than that on this movie storyline. This 2025 movie that is a duel of cleverness, vigilance and prudence has been released on Netflix. It is about a cat and mouse game between the haves and the have nots the good and the evil, the slum dwellers vis-a-vis the rich and famous. Beginning with a high-end phone theft and culminating in a kidnap climax, it has a lot going for it in-between. The story is simple yet has a lot of twists and turns, what with both sides trying to outdo each other. A legit conman Niel Nitin Mukesh who is a conduit through whom the state CM siphons off government funds, is conned, and who calls him out at his own game. It is the middle aged mom played with great chutzspah and spunk by Divya Khosla Kumar who while desperately tryi ....

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat – movie review

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat is a film that wears its heart on its sleeve—but that heart is stuck in a bygone era. For fans of melodrama and intense romance, it might be a 'one-time watch'. For others, it’s a reminder that passion without perspective can feel more exhausting than exhilarating. Harshvardhan Rane debuted in Bollywood with Sanam Teri Kasam (2016), earning a strong female fan base. Sonam Bajwa, a top name in Punjabi cinema, recently grabbed headlines for her standout role in Housefull 5. It is a visually lush but narratively dated romantic thriller that leans heavily on melodrama and nostalgia, with performances that try to salvage a script stuck in the past. Vikram Aditya Bhosle (Harshvardhan Rane) is a brooding, intense lover whose affection for Adaa Randhawa (Sonam Bajwa) spirals into obsession. What begins as a poetic romance quickly descends into a psychologica ....

Homebound – movie review

Homebound had been making the rounds of the most reputed film festivals across the world - starting with its premiere at The Cannes Film Festival in May 2025, followed by the Toronto Film Festival, before gracing the big screen for us all. Not only this, but the film was also chosen as India’s official entry for the 2026 Oscars, even ahead of its official worldwide release. While these can often seem like marketing stunts, I can assure you that this is not the case here. It is a story that, on the surface, seems based on a vital yet singular subject, but once you experience it, you realize just how many threads have gone into making this cinematic fabric come to life. Homebound transcends geography. It conveys emotions and experiences so universal that they resonate with everyone in their own language. The film follows the story of two friends, Shoaib Ali (Ishaan Khatter) and Cha ....
