Housefull 5 movie review
Housefull 5 is a no-brainer slapstick comedy that is high on overexposure of skin show and the actresses reduced merely as a glamour quotient. At times the males mouthing crude and tasteless (supposed to be humorous) jokes on female characters. There is a strand of it being a suspense thriller towards the end, which too isn't effectively conveyed. It is replete with crude and nasty comedy. This fifth film of the Housefull sequel completely lacks the finesse, class and crisp humour of it's earlier films, particularly the first two parts. One misses the original Batuk Patel (Boman Irani). In retrospect the earlier Housefull films delivered loud laughs, wild confusion and were rollercoaster comedies with slapstick humour and witty one-liners. A London-based billionaire, owner of a luxurious Cruise dies mysteriously during his birthday celebrations on the cruise. As per his will, after ....

Bhram Gujarati movie
There is one scene in the film where the protagonist is hooked on to Tom & Jerry cartoons ignoring the seriousness of the matter, the captivating closed door mystery thriller Bhram brilliantly uses this metaphor to drive the core of the subject. Among the main characters in the film, Maya (Sonali Lele Desai) is a Dementia patient, so she forgets everything and does not remember. Nishma Soni plays the role of her daughter Shraddha. Mitra Gadhvi plays the role of Mehul as Maya's caretaker. Maya witnesses the murder of her daughter Shraddha and the case of this entire murder mystery falls into the hands of Investigating Police officer Rakesh Parmar (Abhinay Banker). This results in twists and turns Maya's life as there are moments where even she is the prime suspect for the murder. Quite well edited and paced, the film keeps you on the edge of your seat till the end which unveils ....

Bhool Chuk Maaf movie review by Filmytown.com
Bhool Chuk Maaf the film captures small-town romance between Ranjan and Titli. The girl's father sets a precondition that the boy should have a government job for which the boy resorts to help by bribing a middleman scamster for securing the job. Their romance blooms across the ghats, narrow streets of Benaras, Uttar Pradesh. Accepted, that it gives a realistic feeling but aren't there too many other films who have showcased the interiors of Uttar Pradesh. Where is the scenic beauty? We are bored watching the small streets and the nukkads of our interiors. Coming back to the story, much to Ranjan's horror, the scamster vanishes leaving him to a dead end when the boy takes a vow at Lord Shiva's temple to perform a noble deed if his wish is fulfilled. As Ranjan prepares for his wedding, a bizarre time loop occurs, with Titli being oblivious to it, repeatedly resetting the days bef ....

Kapkapiii movie review
A group of jobless boys begin dabbling with an Ouija board just for kicks. At first, it’s all fun and games — until strange eerie events start to unfold. What begins as harmless mischief soon spirals into chaos, turning their lives literally upside down. By the way, Kapkapiii is a Hindi remake of the 2023 Malayalam horror-comedy Romancham, a story that talks about blind faith, and a rather unknown disease. Manu (Shreyas Talpade) and his friends Achyut (Dinker Sharma), Nanku (Jay Thakkar), Nirup (Varun Pande) and others are a bunch of nobodies sharing a room and doing all the aimless things out-of-work boys usually do. Things get mildly exciting when two young girls — Kavya (Siddhi Idnani) and Madhu (Sonia Rathee) — move in next door. However, when romance seems like a possibility, the otherwise story takes a sharp, spooky turn when Manu brings home an Ouija board. The film ....

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 ....

L2 Empuraan movie review
For all you certified Mohanlal fans/ lovers this is his latest blockbuster offering of March 2025, part two of the Lucifer trilogy. L2 Empuraan courted a fair share of controversy even before it's release, the makers agreed to some cuts, however the audience flocked to see the uncut version before it was replaced in cinema halls. Apart from the controversies there are many other aspects of the film which make it the first superhit of Malayali cinema in 2025 which grossed over Rs 300 crores worldwide, for starters the thing that strikes you about the movie is that unlike any other south original non-dubbed movie this movie is generously interspersed with English and Hindi dialogues according to the requirement of the story. It starts with two independent storylines which then get entwined with the third, thus starting with the first story which involves the CIA and the internationa ....

Raid 2 movie review
The maverick director Raj Kumar Gupta applies the rules of larger-than-life heroes to the new chapter of the unsung Income Tax officer Amay Patnaik that he created almost seven years ago. The only major difference is that Ileana DCruz played Amay Patnaik's docile wife, in this version, Raid 2, his wife is played by Vaani Kapoor and while Taoji (Saurabh Shukla is now in jail, waiting for his parole. The role that he played earlier is now being enacted by none other than Riteish Deshmukh. If the first installment was set in the Indira Gandhi regime, the sequel unfolds during the V.P. Singh regime. Without overtly underlining the intent, the film finds faults in the politics of social justice and coalition governments. The honest hero is Amay Patnaik, while the nefarious villain hails from a backward group that emerged from the chappal business, and the shape-shifting official who touche ....

The Bhootnii movie review
Set against the eerie backdrop of a centuries-old haunted mansion, The Bhootnii blends humor with horror in a tacky and spooky narrative. At the heart of the story is a lingering spirit named Mohabbat, (Mouni Roy) whose soul remains trapped due to an unfulfilled tale of love. Mouni, as the ghost, portrays a haunting mix of vulnerability and resilience. Sanjay Dutt plays a quirky and spiritual baba who wants to help Mohabbat find peace. As he tries to free her soul, he faces many funny and frightening moments inside the mansion. The movie has plenty of scary scenes, which fail to scare you or make you laugh a lot. His journey through the haunted house is filled with hilarious encounters and eerie twists, making the film neither a rollercoaster of comedy nor a scary potboiler. Bollywood's obsession with following the same staid formula knows no bounds. When one period drama does well ....

Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins movie review
Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins is the latest Bollywood film to be streaming on OTT platform, and being a Netflix presentation so it's available only on that platform. For beginning and to caution you it is far removed from the cult classic Jewel Thief of Dev Anand fame which had its own twists and was really appreciated when it was released way back in 1967. After all these years somebody thought about replanning a film with the same name but unfortunately it doesn't live up to the expectations. Shot on a good scale (one can give that much to it) however it leaves a lot to be desired, for starters it has got Saif Ali Khan a misfit in this role he doesn't look anything like his smooth talking self as one can see he is getting old for such roles, here you needed much younger Hero who is nimble and blithe in his demeanor as a Jewel thief (he tries hard to be that but is not convincing ....
