Mirzapur: The Movie review by Jyothi Venkatesh for Filmytown.com
The Mirzapur franchise has evolved from being one of India's most popular OTT properties on Amazon Prime Video to making its big-screen debut with Mirzapur: The Movie. Directed by Gurmeet Singh, the film delivers a standalone story, making it accessible even to viewers who have not followed the original series. At the heart of the film is the continuing battle for the throne of Mirzapur. As old rivalries resurface and new threats emerge, the city's violent underworld becomes the stage for a brutal power struggle. The narrative revolves around blood debts, shifting alliances, and the relentless pursuit of power, all of which have become hallmarks of the Mirzapur universe. The film boasts a strong ensemble cast led by Pankaj Tripathi, who once again excels as the formidable Kaleen Bhaiya. Ali Fazal returns as Guddu Pandit, bringing intensity and charisma to the role, while Divyenndu ....

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 ....

Always Kabhi Kabhi - movie review
Always Kabhi Kabhi is a teen film, from Shahrukh Khan’s banner which had a huge potential to be exciting and entertaining high school rom-com, but doesn't live up to expectations. The story of Always Kabhi Kabhi is about a gang of four teen aged friends during the last year of their school life. It is about parental pressure, the neglected kids, the misunderstandings, school bunking and extra curricular activities and the first stirrings of love and heartbreak.
