Trance (2020) EDIT “The whodunit starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Radhika Apte is so focused on misleading the audience, that it loses its hold over characterization.” – The Hindu Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Shab (2017) 30% EDIT “Shab insists on dictating your emotions, when not staging awkward scenes of seduction.” – The Hindu Jan 10, 2024 Full Review Axone (2020) 100% EDIT “The film is a good example of a demographic of people telling their own stories. The narrative and look of the film have a lived-in quality to them, which can't be easily feigned.” – The Hindu Mar 19, 2021 Full Review Dil Bechara (2020) 88% EDIT “A surreal experience that bridges reality and fiction...” – The Hindu Jul 27, 2020 Full Review Family Romance, LLC (2019) 74% EDIT “The film's biggest drawback is that intent and commentary seldom match what we see on-screen. What we are given is as blank and bland as AI humans, who perhaps have a lot going on inside their heads.” – The Hindu Jul 14, 2020 Full Review Shikara (2020) 55% EDIT “The letters fall on deaf years, which is evocative of the bitter truth that, irrespective of time and religion, the conflict in the Valley is always an 'internal matter'.” – The Hindu Feb 11, 2020 Full Review Shimla Mirchi (2020) EDIT “This supposedly funny plot is so flat that the most amusing part of the film is meta product placements of Kent water purifiers, which Malini endorses in real life.” – The Hindu Jan 8, 2020 Full Review Bala (2019) 77% EDIT “While nailing the finer and linguistic details, Ayushmann Khurrana's latest falls into the old traps of predictable character arcs, shallow 'woke' arguments and didactic climax.” – The Hindu Nov 12, 2019 Full Review The Sky Is Pink (2019) 73% EDIT “It's such a pity that the film has a powerful true story as its source material, yet its sole obsession is to make you either laugh or cry.” – The Hindu Oct 10, 2019 Full Review Section 375 (2019) 58% EDIT “Thriving in grey areas initially, Section 375 ultimately emerges as a deeply disturbing and injudicious film.” – The Hindu Sep 12, 2019 Full Review India's Most Wanted (2019) 22% EDIT “With a pernicious depiction of Islam and terrorism, India's Most Wanted is a bland thriller.” – The Hindu May 24, 2019 Full Review De De Pyaar De (2019) 20% EDIT “The film's craft adds to its staleness and anachronistic feel. As much as the film wants to be an iconoclast, it reinstates the same conservatism it pretends to take down.” – The Hindu May 17, 2019 Full Review UglyDolls (2019) 30% EDIT “All good intentions come to naught with a messy narrative and garish visuals in Ugly Dolls.” – The Hindu May 3, 2019 Full Review A Dog's Way Home (2019) 59% EDIT “The calculative narrative regurgitates old tropes of Hollywood's canine films...” – The Hindu May 3, 2019 Full Review The Tashkent Files (2019) 0% EDIT “With no conviction and utter confusion, the film is evidently more drama than reality.” – The Hindu Apr 12, 2019 Full Review Wonder Park (2019) 35% EDIT “It's a pity that a film, which puts imagination on a pedestal and incessantly advocates for it, presents visuals that are anachronistic and shoddy.” – The Hindu Mar 15, 2019 Full Review Cold Pursuit (2019) 68% EDIT “The film often finds itself being racially offensive and tone-deaf with liberal usage of stereotypes.” – The Hindu Feb 8, 2019 Full Review Mary Poppins Returns (2018) 79% EDIT “Returns appears to have set out with a similar agenda. The captivating, effulgent, upbeat and imaginative visuals along with lucid storytelling are tailored for the young ones, while consistently pleading the adults to see the film with the same naivety.” – The Hindu Jan 4, 2019 Full Review Helicopter Eela (2018) 27% EDIT “Helicopter Eela is a loud, tone-deaf mother-son coming-of-age saga that lacks insights and observational humour.” – The Hindu Oct 12, 2018 Full Review Pataakha (2018) 75% EDIT “The humour is raw and earthy and the impudent simplicity of the narrative is refreshing.” – The Hindu Sep 28, 2018 Full Review Love Sonia (2017) 74% EDIT “A well-intentioned film, Love Sonia panders to a voyeuristic Western gaze...” – The Hindu Sep 14, 2018 Full Review Laila Majnu (2018) 60% EDIT “The problem with the first half is that it neither commits to melodrama nor realism. It is stuck in an awkward limbo. But the second half of the film, with right dollops of exaggeration, soulful melodies and acting skills, elicits the right amount...” – The Hindu Sep 7, 2018 Full Review Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster 3 (2018) 18% EDIT “Whatever little momentum the thriller aspect of this film creates, is washed out by the lacklustre drama that constantly interjects the narrative.” – The Hindu Jul 27, 2018 Full Review Ocean's 8 (2018) 69% EDIT “If Ocean's 8 is pushing for rebellion - even against traditional comedies - it's not anarchic enough.” – The Hindu Jul 10, 2018 Full Review Isle of Dogs (2018) 90% EDIT “...witty and meticulously executed.” – The Hindu Jul 10, 2018 Full Review
