Crazxy – movie review

Producers of the film Crazxy have marketed it as 'a film from the makers of Tumbbad' which raises the expectations form this one too, unfortunately Crazy lacks the scale, canvas and the engrossing storyline of Tumbbad. While the official trailer depicted it something like an out of the world film, this one-actor film turns out to be just a notch above other average films. Makers of Tumbbad have delivered a 'Paani kum chai' film, in comparison to the recent record breaking worldwide interest of their previous film Tumbbad on OTT platform, particularly as the filmmakers want us to believe. This solo actor movie centered around Dr Abhimanyu Sood (Sohum Shah) who finds himself into a high-stakes cat-and-mouse chase after receiving a chilling phone call seeking ransom for his kidnapped daughter. As he races against time, every road unravels shocking twists and turns, pulling hi ....

Loveyapa- movie review

The film Loveyapa, a remake of the Tamil hit Love Today, does have an entertaining and youthful take on modern love that sets out to effectively capture digital-age dilemmas, without at the same time being preachy or for that fact, boring to the core.

Loveyapa- movie review..

It revolves around the wafer thin plot of Gaurav (Junaid Khan), who happens to live with his widowed mother and only sister and Baani (Khushi Kapoor) who is the daughter seeking approval from her doting but strict father, a strict Hindi speaking guy (Ashutosh Rana) to get married, and how interestingly he in turn sets a very unusual condition—they must swap their phones for a day. What does trust mean to a generation that thrives on situation -ships more than just relation-ships forms the crux of the subject. What follows is a chaotic ride as several secrets pop ....

Badass Ravi Kumar- movie review

Himesh Reshammiya is back with Xpose Cinematic Universe's latest film Badass Ravi Kumar. The film sets out to entertain you like no other in recent times. Himesh Reshammiya’s portrayal of the titular character of the super cop Ravi Kumar is so unselfconsciously over the top that it’s quite hard not to get sucked in. And what exactly I like about the film is the way Himesh has made it clear right in the beginning that the film literally screams in bold, flashy letters: "Logic is optional." You are taken back on a time machine to the golden old 70’s and 80’s It is stupidity on our part to look out for a plot in this film but it is just enough to state that there is a typical love triangle too in the film, when two sisters Laila (Kirti Kulhari) and Madhubala (Simona J) are head over heels in love with Ravi Kumar (Himesh Reshammiya), who, a la Allu Arjun in Pushpa is all moustache ....

LET’s MEET – movie review

Set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, the heartwarming flick Let's Meet is a story about the generations that shape Google with their contributions to knowledge—Generation X, Millennials, and Generation Y.

DEVA – movie review

The film Deva, a remake of the Malayalam flick Mumbai Police released way back in 2013, features the tale of Kochi City ACP Antony Moses, who is infamously known as Rascal Moses due to his chauvinistic character. Basically, the film is about a rebellious and abrasive cop who sets out to investigate a murder case but suffers memory loss after a major accident. As he retraces his past, he discovers some unsettling truths about his department and himself. Sadly, the film drains you of whatever energy you have when you start watching the film over the course of 156 minutes, as the screenplay team—Bobby–Sanjay, Abbas Dalal, Hussain Dalal, Arshad Syed, and Sumit Arora—takes you through the various layers and shades of Dev, and the unravelling the mystery on and on. The mystery does thicken in the second half, when the whole tonality shifts from action to dark and intense emotions a ....
