Mirzapur: The Movie – review

The Mirzapur franchise has evolved from being one of India's most popular OTT properties on Amazon Prime Video to making its big-screen debut with Mirzapur: The Movie. Directed by Gurmeet Singh, the film delivers a standalone story, making it accessible even to viewers who have not followed the original series. At the heart of the film is the continuing battle for the throne of Mirzapur. As old rivalries resurface and new threats emerge, the city's violent underworld becomes the stage for a brutal power struggle. The narrative revolves around blood debts, shifting alliances, and the relentless pursuit of power, all of which have become hallmarks of the Mirzapur universe. The film boasts a strong ensemble cast led by Pankaj Tripathi, who once again excels as the formidable Kaleen Bhaiya. Ali Fazal returns as Guddu Pandit, bringing intensity and charisma to the role, while Divyenndu ....

Toxic – movie review

Yash's much-hyped Toxic arrives with enormous expectations, lavish production values, multiple leading ladies, relentless action, and the promise of a bold psychological gangster drama. What it delivers instead is a visually noisy spectacle that often mistakes excess for substance. The film's biggest problem is its storytelling, or rather the lack of it. For a film reportedly mounted on a massive budget, Toxic struggles to establish a coherent narrative. The screenplay feels fragmented, with scenes stitched together in the hope that style alone can carry the experience. The father-son angle, dual-role twist, and hints of psychological themes never come together in a satisfying manner.

Core of Toxic

The film follows Raya (Yash), a ruthless gangster in Portuguese-ruled Goa. His rise to power is shaped by revenge, love, and betrayal. After falling for Nadia (Kiara Advani) whil ....

Alpha – movie review

The YRF Spy Universe expands further with its latest offering, Alpha. It is a high-octane action thriller that delivers on visual gloss but completely misses the mark on emotional gravity. While the film attempts to inject fresh energy with a female-led narrative, it just ends up as a glossy but emotionally hollow addition to the spy genre. The film is rooted heavily in the typical studio template of glamour, exotic locations, and physics-defying stunts. This spy, action, thriller having a runtime of 140 minutes ultimate feels outdated. Firstly, when compared to contemporary benchmarks, particularly to Dhurandhar 1 and 2, that seamlessly blend espionage with deep-rooted patriotism, Alpha stands no match, trading genuine national fervor for forced, over-the-top melodrama.

A Fractured Foundation - that's Alpha

The narrative follows a highly trained assassin raised in total ....

Dacoit: A Love Story – movie review

Shaneil Deo’s debut feature Dacoit: A Love Story tries to straddle Telugu cinema’s larger-than-life storytelling with a Hindi sensibility, but the result is uneven and overstretched. It is an intense action-romantic drama blending themes of love, betrayal and revenge. This thriller presents a gripping narrative set against a rugged, crime-driven backdrop. At its core, the film is an old-school romance gone wrong. Haridas (Adivi Sesh) is unjustly imprisoned after being found near a dead body, while his lover Saraswati (Mrunal Thakur) becomes entangled in a web of betrayal and misplaced loyalty. What could have been a taut love-versus-law drama quickly spirals into a confusing, overlong narrative.

The Premise of Dacoit A Love Story

In simple words, Dacoit A Love Story follows a man who becomes a criminal after a heartbreaking betrayal by someone he once loved. After servi ....

O Romeo – movie review

This Valentine's Day offering O Romeo is produced and directed by Vishal Bhardwaj and stars Vishal Bhardwaj's favorite Shahid Kapoor who is paired with Tripti Dimri and the third pivotal character is Avinash Tiwary. While Tamannaah Bhatia also makes a special appearance alongside Nana Patekar. O Romeo is a black film, quirky and at times depressing all throughout it's run of almost three hours.

Dhurandhar – movie review

Story telling at it's best, gradual and steady, Dhurandhar gets you hooked ... like reading an international thrilling bestseller.

WAR 2 – movie review

Hrithik Roshan returns as Kabir, a secret agent like no other, who infiltrates a powerful global syndicate that wants to rule the world. The film War 2 sets out to feebly suggest that democracy is far too an outdated idea for the corporate villain. For a change, it promises to put Hrithik in a morally ambiguous space, but as the mood is jingoistic and the star wants to play safe, the not-so-secret sauce of the script is ‘nation first’. The secret agent Kabir is accused of betraying the nation when he infiltrates a cartel, and his erstwhile mate Vikram alias Raghu (NTR Jr) is assigned the task of catching him red handed. Alas, the makers prove more successful in highlighting Kiara Advani’s curves than in conveying the contours of the storyline. It features a variety of stunts with a script that appears to be powered by artificial intelligence. This unintelligent sequel to War, ....

Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning – movie review

Mission Impossible Final Reckoning movie review

Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning has thrilling chases, intense combat and the Mission Impossible theme, and definitely the fit and pleasant Tom Cruise performing stunts on ground, air and underwater. What is missing are the breathtaking worldwide locations like the earlier films showcased Dubai, Paris, London, Norway, Morocco, Prague, Australia, Rome among many. Instead the first half is centred around the dark locations of tunnels and underground, with second half mostly in the submarine, underwater, except the stretched airplane chase and stunts actually performed by Tom Cruise. President of the United States of America sends a voice note to Ethan recounting the adventures he pulled out in the last thirty years bringing nostalgia of the several earlier missions that Ethan accomplished. Picking up from it's previous film MI - Dead Reckoning, an artificial intelligence ....
