Diary of a Woman – movie review

Diary of a Woman confronts viewers with raw vulnerability, unraveling a deeply personal journey through identity, trauma and emotional isolation — far from a soothing cinematic experience. The film that delves into the complexities of gender identity, specifically exploring the life of a man grappling with gender insecurity. Unlike the typical Bollywood portrayal of Switzerland as a dreamy backdrop for romantic escapades, Simon Aeby’s film offers a grounded, introspective look into the solitary life of a Swiss teacher. It stands in stark contrast to the glossy narratives of love and glamour. While in India, life is often enriched by friendship, spirituality, and vibrant social connections, Aeby’s Switzerland feels cold, quiet, and emotionally desolate—where individual existence is marked by loneliness, gloom and monotony. Quodos to Simon for portraying reality. How might an ....

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 ....

Following Vikram’s sudden death, Govind's destiny becomes intertwined with Azaad’s, in this film which has been set against the oppressive backdrop of British rule, a la Lagaan.

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 ....
