Border 2 movie review
Based on the 1971 India–Pakistan war, covering Operation Chengiz Khan, the Battle of Poonch, the Battle of Basantar, and the defence of INS Khukri, Border 2 is the sequel to J.P. Dutta’s 1997 blockbuster Border. Directed by Anurag Singh, the film captures the grit and sacrifice of frontline soldiers while showcasing the combined strength of the Indian Army, Air Force and the Indian Navy. Its scale sets it apart, offering audiences a sweeping view of multi-front operations. With several war films released recently, Border 2 stands out for its well-crafted battle sequences, overseen by producer J.P. Dutta. Unlike its predecessor, it avoids excessive melodrama and comedy, opting for a more restrained presentation. However, compared to films like Dhurandhar and URI, some action scenes feel slightly tacky. Sunny Deol reprises his role as the central protagonist, joined by Varun D ....

Happy Patel movie review
Leave your brains at home to Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos that sets out to reinvent the detective genre with a quirky, desi twist. It is a slapstick spy‑comedy, a parody on crime genre that leans heavily on absurd humor and frequently uttered Hindi words wrongly pronounced by a British-Indian which do not amuse you at all. Happy Patel (Vir Das), the adopted son of two British secret agents, dreams of following in his fathers’ footsteps by joining the elite MI7 agency. When his aspirations fall short, he discovers his Indian roots and is dispatched to Goa on a mission: to rescue a white woman forced into developing a fairness cream formula by the local don, Mama (Mona Singh). Bound by an inter‑generational feud with Happy, Mama seizes the chance to settle old scores. By the way - this jasoos turns out to be a master chef instead of being a dangerous spy. Just wongering whether t ....

The title that looks odd as it started as Bads of Bollywood ended in Bastards of Bollywood that being the turning point of this whole show on OTT a clever nuance added for more intrigue. Weilding the baton in his debut series is Aryan Khan son of King Khan (SRK ) which is now showing on Netflix , a 7 part series with each episode clocking 50 odd minutes. The series is about what goes on behind the scenes in Bollywood, its functioning, the machination of the Bollywood hoi-poloi specially the people on top with power, like the top rated actors, producers and directors. So in a way it is an internalization of itself by ....

Utt Pataang, movie review
Vinay Pathak, an established name in the ‘small’ films circuit plays a double role in this thriller Utt Pataang directed by Srikanth V. Velagaleti. Utt Pataang starts quite promisingly and is a thrilling comedy flick about several incidents occurring during a night. Utt Pataang isn’t a brainless comedy as the name suggests. Yet it has eccentric characters, nursing broken hearts and desperately longing for love. The film is basically an account of happenings on one particular night. Ram (Vinay Pathak) is a 35-year-old ordinary guy from Mumbai who has been ditched by his rough and foul-mouthed lady love Sanjana (Mahie Gill).. Nandu (Saurabh Shukla) is Ram’s friend a rather clueless, inept detective. While having dinner at a restaurant, Ram and Nandu meet Koyal (Mona Singh), a small-town girl who has been betrayed by her boyfriend. The cunning Nandu hooks up Ram with Koyal ....
