My Melbourne movie review
Unlike any mainstream Bollywood film, My Melbourne is an anthology consisting of four unique stories, directed by renowned Bollywood filmmakers - Onir, Kabir Khan, Rima Das, and Imtiaz Ali. These collective stories explore themes of identity, diversity, resilience that are set against the multicultural and dynamic backdrop of Melbourne, Australia. Each of the four stories are universally relatable and they seamlessly transition into other through unique narratives. Two segments particularly stand out throughout this film and that are the stories, the first being that of Jules that is directed by Imtiaz Ali and Setara's struggle for her identity, that is by Kabir Khan. The first story directed by Onir and titled as Nandini is about an emotional reunion of Indraneel (Arka Das), a queer Indian man, and his estranged father, Mihir (Mouli Ganguly).

Crazxy movie review
Producers of the film Crazxy have marketed it as 'a film from the makers of Tumbbad' which raises the expectations form this one too, unfortunately Crazy lacks the scale, canvas and the engrossing storyline of Tumbbad. While the official trailer depicted it something like an out of the world film, this one-actor film turns out to be just a notch above other average films. Makers of Tumbbad have delivered a 'Paani kum chai' film, in comparison to the recent record breaking worldwide interest of their previous film Tumbbad on OTT platform, particularly as the filmmakers want us to believe. This solo actor movie centered around Dr Abhimanyu Sood (Sohum Shah) who finds himself into a high-stakes cat-and-mouse chase after receiving a chilling phone call seeking ransom for his kidnapped daughter. As he races against time, every road unravels shocking twists and turns, pulling hi ....
