Batwara 1947, movie review
Batwara 1947, produced by Aamir Khan Films and directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. It is written jointly by Asghar Wajahat and Rajkumar Santoshi. The film was released one day before Independence, on August 14. It is a very moving classic that talks about the perils of Partition and explores a deeply emotional chapter of Indian history to the big screen through a story of families, loss, resilience and humanity. Set in the city of Lahore in Punjab region, Batwara 1947 is a historical tale of the division of Punjab, displacement and human connection and depicts the emotional cost of the partition of India.

A role reversal and release timing raise questions in Batwara 1947

Overall, though the intention was to send a message of peace, love and harmony the biggest disappointment is that Sunny Deol has been cast as a Pakistani Muslim, contrary to his image of a brave Indian soldier f ....

Jan Neta movie review
While Vijay’s latest Hindi dubbed venture Jan Neta as well as last film Tamil Jana Nayagan has registered massive commercial success by crossing the ₹200 crore club, its early box office trajectory is trailing significantly behind his Vijay's last blockbusters, Leo (2023) and The Greatest of All Time / GOAT (2024).

Ever since the first glimpse of Jan Neta dropped, one question has refu ....

Mardini Marathi movie review in Filmytown.com
Mardini, the title has been adapted from the mythical folk lore of Mahishasura Mardini. It is most famously attached to Goddess Durga as Mahishasura Mardini—the slayer of the buffalo demon Mahishasura. Produced by Shreyas Talpade, this thriller stars Abhijeet Khandkekar and Jitendra Joshi, with Prarthana Behere playing the pivotal character. It is directed by Ajay Mayekar. It is an entertainment oriented movie... a ruthless entertainment, keeping in mind the logic. Prarthana Behere plays the woman who has lost her husband and caringly looks after her 8 year old daughter as well as her old mother. And it is about how a single mother fights for her daughter undauntedly.

Mardini – A Tribute to Women

The working mother learns that her daughter requires a particular type of oxygen machine, without which the child's life is short lived. However, she learns that the machine ....

Main Actor Nahin Hoon movie review
Main Actor Nahin Hoon is an interesting film, almost like an appreciation of filmmaking. But I wouldn’t recommend it to the average viewer because it doesn’t have the usual 'masala'. Nawazuddin Siddiqui takes a bold leap in Main Actor Nahin Hoon, playing Adnan, a 55‑year‑old banker in Frankfurt who discovers that money can’t buy the satisfaction acting gives him. Produced by Aditya Kripalani along with Nawazuddin’s brother Faizuddin, the film is less about entertainment and more about the craft of performance. The story shows Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Adnan, struggling to cope with post‑retirement life. He meets Mouni (played by Chitrangada Shatarupa), an acting student and model, through a webcam audition. Their interactions form the heart of the story. Adnan feels he is not a good actor and asks Mouni to teach him acting. Mouni, meanwhile, lives in Bombay and sells ....

Daadi ki Shaadi movie review
Daadi Ki Shaadi is a comedy-family film directed by Ashish R Mohan, and stars Neetu Kapoor, Kapil Sharma and R Sarathkumar in pivotal characters. Neetu Kapoor shines as the grandmother, delivering a pleasant and charming performance that anchors the film. She is joined by popular comedian Kapil Sharma and actress Sadia Khateeb. The film also marks the acting debut of Riddhima Kapoor Sahni (daughter of the late Rishi Kapoor), who plays Vimla Ahuja’s youngest daughter. Her character rushes back to India, shocked and embarrassed by her mother’s decision, eventually joining the rest of the family in an attempt to stop the wedding. Veteran actress Tejaswini Kolhapure plays one of the key roles and performs well. Sharathkumar, from South Indian cinema, also plays an important character in his first Hindi film. The film is connected to Kapil Sharma, whose wife Ginni Sharma has p ....

Kalamanch the Web series review Drama
Experience the raw and unfiltered first episode of Kalamanch, where a group of strangers begins a simple acting class that quickly evolves into something much deeper. As their protective walls crack, vulnerabilities surface, and for some, this stage becomes the only space where they can truly be themselves. Eight strangers. One acting school. A journey none of them expected. Kalamanch isn't just about the craft of acting; it’s about confronting one's own truth. The series has already earned accolades as an official selection at various international film festivals, including the Tasveer Film Festival. It beautifully emphasises that acting is the ability to live truthfully under imaginary circumstances—where an actor is, at most, a poet and, at least, an entertainer. The Ensemble cast consists of a diverse range of characters to life. Hiten (Amit Poddar) is a young man obsess ....

Mauje Dariya movie review
Mauje Dariya is a vibrant Gujarati comedy-drama directed by Parry Majmudar that balances youthful ambition with lighthearted social commentary. The film serves as a poignant highlight of India’s young generation that is ambitious, hardworking, and willing to do what it takes to rise while learning valuable lessons along the way. The film follows a delivery boy who takes a risky job running alcohol (that is prohibited in the state) to fund his father’s surgery. The story takes a chaotic turn during a wealthy client’s party when a gunshot leads to mass unconsciousness and collective amnesia, leaving the characters to untangle a murder scheme amidst identity confusion. A standout element is its handling of alcohol prohibition in Gujarat. The script offers a sharp social critique by capturing the simmering frustration of a generation caught between Western lifestyle aspirations a ....

Durlabh Prasad Ki Dusri Shadi movie review
It's ironical that these days, people sometimes regret even one marriage, but here, Durlabh Prasad is looking for a second marriage. And the story of Durlabh Prasad Ki Dusri Shadi justifies it. Siddharth Raj Singh has directed this film that stars Sanjay Mishra and Shrikant Verma, besides them, you get to see Mahima Chaudhry after a long time. The new girl Pallak Lalwani and the young boy Vyom Yadav are promising actors. The story of Durlabh Prasad Ki Dusri Shadi is very interesting and it doesn't appear cliched or monotonous. Vam Yadav plays the role of Murli, and Palak Lallwani plays the role of Mehak. You might get confused for a second, thinking that Palak Lalwani looks very much like Mrunal Thakur. They have a lot of similarities on the facial front. When Murli asks for Mehak's hand in marriage, Mehak's (Palak Lalwani's) family puts a condition that their daughter will not ....

Hi Zindagi movie reviw

Blending emotional drama with a socially urgent message, Hi Zindagi ignites a powerful conversation around the need to make India’s rape laws gender-neutral.

Directed by Ajay Ram and produced by lawyer-turned-filmmaker Sunil Kumar Aggarwal, the film boldly confronts a legal system that fails to recognize male victims of sexual violence—exposing the silence, stigma, and systemic gaps that surround their trauma.

Can men also be victims of sexual violence?

This is the haunting question Hi Zindagi raises through its unsettling narrative, inspired by real-life incidents. The film follows four affluent, carefree womenâ ....

Jolly LLB 3 movie review

Jolly LLB 3 opens with an oddly amateurish tone, featuring cringeworthy and implausible banter between its two Jollys—Arshad Warsi as Advocate Jagdish 'Jolly' Tyagi and Akshay Kumar as Advocate Jagdishwar 'Jolly' Mishra. Instead of sharp legal wit, we get courtroom comedy that feels more rehearsed than real.

When a powerful business group unveils grand plans to transform Bikaner into the next Boston, small farmers find themselves sidelined. Their legitimate demands are ignored, and force is used to suppress dissent. What begins as a development dream soon spirals into a controversy Read More
