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 – 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 ....

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 ....

ILU ILU 1998 – movie review

ILU ILU 1998 (Marathi film) is an oft repeated story of a 14- year-old student, Aniket, (Nishant Bhavsar) who falls head over heels in love with his new English teacher Madhuri Pinto (Elli Avram). Aniket is infatuated enough to desire to marry his teacher. Aniket, the boy at a Marathi medium boy school, experiences first love when the modern English teacher, Madhuri Pinto, joins. Infatuated, Aniket studies harder and even begins to watch English movies to impress her. On Valentine`s Day, he plans to confess his feelings. However, a sketch of Madhuri is found in the school toilet, leading to an unexpected twist in the story. The director of ILU ILU 1998also conveniently weaves in a scene wherein Madhuri has an argument with her father, in which she insists that she will marry only the man of her choice, even though he is much younger and belongs to another religion, an exchange that ....

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 ....

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 ....
