Mayasabha movie review
Rahi Anil Barve presents a contemporary representation of the magical palace in Mahabharata to convey the spiritual meaning through material form that focuses on a cinema hall in atmospheric ruins. Delving deeper is the core characteristic of greed in humans. Mayasabha is an abstract thriller - not meant for the masses. The hall of Illusion - Mayasabha is a single-location immersive film that explores the corrosive nature of greed. Though it carves out its own idiosyncratic, theatrical identity. Mayasabha's most important character is a dilapidated Mumbai cinema hall that reeks "moral rot and decay" through meticulously layered smoke, red hues, and ghostly shadows.

Readers expecting a traditional thriller would get 'lost in the fog'

Meant for those devoted moviegoers, especially the ones who are knowledgeable about the cinema. What stand ....

Border 2 movie review
Based on the 1971 India–Pakistan war, covering Operation Chengiz Khan, the Battle of Poonch, the Battle of Basantar, and the defence of INS Khukri, Border 2 is the sequel to J.P. Dutta’s 1997 blockbuster Border. Directed by Anurag Singh, the film captures the grit and sacrifice of frontline soldiers while showcasing the combined strength of the Indian Army, Air Force and the Indian Navy. Its scale sets it apart, offering audiences a sweeping view of multi-front operations. With several war films released recently, Border 2 stands out for its well-crafted battle sequences, overseen by producer J.P. Dutta. Unlike its predecessor, it avoids excessive melodrama and comedy, opting for a more restrained presentation. However, compared to films like Dhurandhar and URI, some action scenes feel slightly tacky. Sunny Deol reprises his role as the central protagonist, joined by Varun D ....

Happy Patel movie review
Leave your brains at home to Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos that sets out to reinvent the detective genre with a quirky, desi twist. It is a slapstick spy‑comedy, a parody on crime genre that leans heavily on absurd humor and frequently uttered Hindi words wrongly pronounced by a British-Indian which do not amuse you at all. Happy Patel (Vir Das), the adopted son of two British secret agents, dreams of following in his fathers’ footsteps by joining the elite MI7 agency. When his aspirations fall short, he discovers his Indian roots and is dispatched to Goa on a mission: to rescue a white woman forced into developing a fairness cream formula by the local don, Mama (Mona Singh). Bound by an inter‑generational feud with Happy, Mama seizes the chance to settle old scores. By the way - this jasoos turns out to be a master chef instead of being a dangerous spy. Just wongering whether t ....

The Rajasaab movie review
After a long inordinate wait filled with delays, controversies, and sky-high expectations, The Raja Saab has finally hit the screens. Starring Prabhas in the lead role, the film is marketed as a horror-comedy with fantasy elements, but instead turns out to be a slow, exhausting experience that lacks horror, comedy, emotional depth, and engaging narration. The RajaSaab movie review... Raja (Prabhas), lives with his grandmother Gangamma (Zareena Wahab) and his uncle’s daughter Anitha (Riddhi Kumar). Anitha loves Raja, while Gangamma suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and remembers only her husband Kanakaraju (Sanjay Dutt), who she believes is still alive. Raja learns that his grandfather may be in Hyderabad, near Charminar, and travels there. During this phase, he encounters a nun (Niddhi Agerwal) and instantly falls in love with her. It is now time for Bhairavi (Malavika Mohanan) ....

Ikkis movie review
Ikkis is based on the real-life heroism of Arun Khetarpal, the Param Vir Chakra recipient who laid down his life just after turning 21. Directed by Sriram Raghavan and produced by Dinesh Vijan and Binny Padda, Ikkis is a biographical war drama film based on the life of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal and revolving around the Battle of Basantar during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. The film stars Agastya Nanda as Arun Khetarpal, Dharmendra (in his posthumous film debut) and Jaideep Ahlawat Arun Khetarpal's father M L Khetarpal (Dharmendra) goes to revisit those places after his son is dead. A brilliant film, but my only worry is that this kind of a film may not find audience as people are now saturated with war movies. Rather over-saturated. The story has war, action, emotions and is in a linear narrative about the war which happened at that time (the Indo-Pak war of 1971). ....

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri movie review
Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri arrives with glossy packaging, a charming lead pair and postcard-perfect visuals of Croatia. Directed by Sameer Vidwans, the film promises romance and family drama but delivers a mixed bag—delightful in its first half and then a frustratingly illogical in its second. Ray (Kartik Aaryan) a wedding planner and Rumi's (Ananya Panday) chance meeting at an airport leads to camaraderie during a trip to Croatia, setting the stage for flirtation amid the postcard-perfect backdrop of Croatia. The narrative shifts from breezy rom-com to tackling taboo family values and generational expectations, aiming to balance entertainment with a social message. Kartik Aaryan is lovable as Ray, a wedding planner whose boyish charm and comic timing instantly win over the audience. He carries the breezy tone of the film with ease. Ananya Panday is ravishing, bringing f ....

Wake Up Dead Man movie review
Wake Up Dead Man is the third installment of Knives Out film series There are quite a few who like spy movies, suspense and psychological thrillers or horror flicks however everyone loves a spiced up whodunit. This murder mystery genre is eye candy for one and all, it draws you from the depths of your mind and leaves you biting your nails as the needle of suspicion keeps shifting from one character to the other. We have had some great fictional detectives like Agatha Christie's hero Hercule Poirot or the famous detective Sherlock Holmes penned by Arthur Conan Doyle. These were the detective heroes in literature from the 20th century European society who were then brought to life on celluloid in movies like Murder on Orient Express a classic Agatha that was ahead of its time, and the 2009 Sherlock Holmes movie about the villain Blackwood and his resuscitation from the dead. These ....

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