Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 movie review
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 released on 2nd of November is a of the franchise genre started with Akshay Kumar with one ghost then in the second movie with Kartik Aryan taking over the reins we where presented with possibility of a dual ghost scenario and now in the third one we have to juggle with a triple ghost scenario, my God! What a waste of ghosts or is it only one ghost and we see three. The movie is supposed to be a ghost comedy which we are supposed to enjoy but it appears the comedy is on us. The three cartoon characters from previous movie the chota pandit, the bada pandit and the lady pandit are repeated for no reason at all. The first film with Akshay Kumar was an intellectual cult film directed by Priyadarshan. The team of the second and third franchise have hit the bedrock. Kartik Aryan has been acting in films which have no meaning at all, very.. very disappointing. How come V ....

Krispy Rishtey movie review
Karan (Jagat Singh) gives in to his father's wishes, breaking up with his childhood crush Natasha (Manmeet Kaur) and gets married to Anjali (Diljott) who is a traditional Indian family cultured girl who is committed to her husband. Yet Karan isn't attached to her and continues his lovey-dovey rendezvous with his childhood crush Natasha, a wild romantic girl. That's Krispy Rishtey for you. Things get complicated and messy when Vinod (Ronit Kapill) an old admirer of Anjali comes back into her life to pacify the homely girl and this results into a complex love quadrangle. Commitment to marriage, relationships, trust and sacrifice form the core of this breezy love story which positions itself in a bit different league in comparison to zillions of love stories in Bollywood. Taking back one's memories of 90s when films used to have 10-15 songs, Krispy Rishtey is laden with 15 songs wi ....

The Buckingham Murders movie review
As the name suggests this thriller, The Buckingham Murders has been shot in Great Britain. It involves a sensitive investigation of a child's murder. Kareena Kapoor Khan’s character Jasmeet Bhamra the investigating officer who herself is grieving from the recent loss of her child in a senseless shootout is asked to handle this case despite her resistance in the beginning though she is slowly drawn into its web. The end is shocking when the actual perpetrators are unveiled but not before one more murder is committed. That was the premise of the movie now let's talk about the layers within it like the quintessential Hindu - Muslim animosity which within the Indian/Paki immigrant community spills over the English landscape and as the Police chief remarks ‘Over a mere cricket match’, then there is the angle about kids having access to drugs, about a failed marriage or how Indian br ....

IC 814 - The Kandahar Hijack review
The OTT series IC 814 - The Kandahar Hijack released on and made for Netflix on 29th August 2024 is concerning everything you wanted to know about the darkest chapter in aviation hijack history of India. As the credits say the series is inspired by real events and includes an adaptation of a book titled ‘Flight Into Fear’ written by Devi Sharan (the original captain of IC 814) and Shrinjoy Chowdhury. It throws light on the events that led to and ahead of the subsequent release during the hijack of Indian flight IC 814. As it is a true story which envisages the utter failure of the bureaucratic machinery and the series also depicts an equal apathy of the coalition government of the time. When the negotiations with hijackers or commando action could have been completed on Indian soil as the plane first landed in Amritsar, it was sent hopping first to Lahore, then Dubai and finall ....

Vedaa movie review
The film Vedaa - Samvidhan Ka Rakshak  revolves around Vedaa Bhairva (Sharvari) who signs up for a rigorous boxing training camp in her college even while she is aware that this step will invite opposition from the village pradhan’s Jitin Pratap Singh’s family, (Abhishek Banerjee) but wants to take that chance, especially since for her, boxing is the way out of her oppressive life in Barmer. The village head, while maintaining a progressive facade, favours the caste discrimination and his extremely violent brother, Suyog (Kshitij Chauhan), is often seen ruthlessly bashing up those who defy the societal norms. Inspired by real-life stories 'Vedaa' speaks out loud against caste- based injustices and crimes. When a court-martialled Army Major, Abhimanyu (John Abraham) comes to Barmer, winds of change begin to sweep in. He takes Vedaa under his wing and starts training her to beco ....

Khel Khel Mein Poster
As our lives get password protected with smartphones emerging as the third inclusive as well as encompassing person in the bedroom, relationships are getting knottier than before. In 2016, Italian filmmaker Paolo Genovese tracked the havoc smartphones can create in matrimony to create the comedy-drama Perfetti Sconosciut (Perfect Strangers). The film Khel Khel Mein is based on the same premise.. An interesting game begins when friends gather at night and it takes a dramatic turn when they agree to keep their phones unlocked, sharing every text and call publicly. One by one, their hidden secrets spill out, dynamics shift, and in short, lives are forever changed. Rishabh's (Akshay Kumar) Casanova personality, Kabir's (Fardeen Khan) personal struggles, Happy (Taapsee Pannu) and Harpreet's (Ammy Virk) marital issues, and Naina (Pragya Jaiswal) and Samar's (Aditya Seal) dark past tumble ou ....

Stree 2 movie review
Directed by Amar Kaushik, the film Stree, released in 2018, a horror-comedy that was loved by the audience, was set in the town of Chanderi where a spirit kidnaps men. Stree 2, the sequel, however, takes the story ahead and starts from the same point where the first film ended. This time, however, the locals living in Chanderi team up with the mysterious character, played by Shraddha Kapoor, as they confront another ghost known as ‘Sarkata’. Sarkata has the ability to take out its head and wander around, abducting girls who are ‘modern’ or ‘liberated’ in any manner. There is a back-story, connected with Stree. Janaa (Abhishek Banerjee), Bittu (Aparshakti Khurana) and town librarian Rudra (Pankaj Tripathi) return to confront the ghost. Basically, horror comedy is a challenging genre, and the makers of ‘Stree 2’ have nailed it once again. This sequel retains all the c ....

Ghudchadi movie pic
Streaming on the OTT platform – JIO Cinema, the first mention of this movie Ghudchadi would bring a picture in the mind of that of a big fat Indian wedding. By the way Ghudchadi is a North Indian custom during the wedding celebrations, the groom comes riding on a white mare along with a procession towards the wedding venue, usually being the bride’s home or any place arranged by the bride’s family. However the 'band baaja and  baraat' arrives only at the fag end of the movie and this happens after a lot of rona dhona, an unraveling of a truth and a car accident. It starts as an innocent tale of a family who love and respect each other, consisting of three individuals – one is the grandma Kalyani Devi (Aruna Irani), her son Veer (Sanjay Dutt) and her grandson Chirag (Parth Samthaan). The grandma is keen to get her grandson married before she kicks the buck ....

Ulajh movie review
A spy thriller, Ulajh focuses on the glorious achievements of a IFS lady officer who is entangled in a crafted conspiracy that could end up finishing her career, her father's elevation to the topmost foreign diplomat and a face-saving embarrassment for India. Going by the past films produced by Junglee Pictures, they had produced the flawless spy thriller Raazi and the crime thriller Talwar, while their highly anticipated their new film Ulajh falls below expectations with several loose ends, flaws and the illogical super-smartness of an Indian IFS officer over foreign ambassadors and bureaucrats. In her first posting out of India to Nepal, Suhana Bhatia (Janhvi Kapoor), the grand daughter of a patriot and daughter of a very senior bureaucrat Dhanraj Bhatia (Adil Hussain) is successful in blackmailing the ambassador of that country. While back in India, Suhana is too focused in her ....

Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha movie review
We are reviewing this Ajay Devgn  Tabu starrer 'Auron mein kahan dam tha'  which is about a couple's  love story that ranges 23 years from 2000 to 2023.  After watching the entire film, any mature viewer would have felt that the apt title should have been - Audience mein Kahan Dimag tha??!! This flick starring Ajay Devgan and Tabu with Jimmy Shergill in tow, and I wonder what made Jimmy to sign it? The movie is an old tale of Bollywood movies of 70s and 80s, that is about a young loverboy (Shantanu Maheshwari who plays the character of young Ajay Devgn) killing people to save the honour of his beloved (Saiee Manjrekar playing the young character of Tabu) thus going to jail and scarifying his whole life. Yes, Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha delves into the emotional depth but isn't is somewhat like the stories of the 70s and the 80s? Anyway, writer-director Neeraj Pandey has added an u ....
