Biography:

I have been reviewing films, both Hollywood and Hindi since 2006. I started off with the newspaper Screen published by the Indian Express group. Then, I reviewed films for Filmfare for both print and online media. I now write reviews for The Times Of India, again for both print and online.

Rahu Ketu (2026) 2.5/5 EDIT “Comedy is best when it's clever enough to be dumb. But with Rahu Ketu, the constant barrage of comedic gags never become funny, on most occasions they don't even seem coherent.” – Filmfare Jan 16, 2026 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% 3/5 EDIT “Where Anaconda does excel is in its meta nature. Jack Black and Paul Rudd ace the comedy-of-errors routines like pros. ” – Filmfare Dec 29, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3.5/5 EDIT “Avatar: Fire And Ash is one of the most awe-inspiring experiences one can have at a theatre. But the truth is, a story is the heart and soul of a movie and that’s where the latest Avatar movie feels a little flat and underwhelming.” – Filmfare Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Mastiii 4 (2025) 1.5/5 EDIT “Maybe with a little more effort and focus on writing, the movie could’ve found a punch like the Golmaal movies. But sadly, that doesn’t happen here.” – Filmfare Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Agra (2023) 87% 3/5 EDIT “In the end, watching Agra is like coming to terms with your own, inner demons. It takes fortitude and focus to make sense of it and its not for the faint hearted. ” – Filmfare Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat (2025) 2.5/5 EDIT “If you're a Harshvardhan Rane fan, you'll get some more, hunky goodness that had made Sanam Teri Kasam a cult classic. But everything else about this deewaniyat wali love story pales in comparison.” – Filmfare Oct 21, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Like any PT Anderson movie, One Battle After Another is packed to the gills with cinematic craft. And the best part is, when it matters the most, the film delivers pure human emotions in the most chilled out manner.” – Filmfare Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Heer Express (2025) 3/5 EDIT “If you love family dramas that follow a comforting, familiar blueprint and you came for performances and a gentle vibe, you’ll probably enjoy parts of it. If you want sharper writing, surprises, or something emotionally risky, this one won’t satisfy.” – Filmfare Sep 13, 2025 Full Review The Bengal Files (2025) 2.5/5 EDIT “Watch this if you've liked and enjoyed the previous movies from this franchise. But if you're a stickler for historical accuracy, you might not agree with everything that The Bengal Files portrays. ” – Filmfare Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Coolie (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “It's not the best dramatic story you've ever seen. But the moments that unfold on screen are truly entertaining. Watching a young Rajinikanth, walk with swagger and make a beedi dance between his lips is the stuff of legend. ” – Filmfare Aug 14, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 87% 3.5/5 EDIT “Liam Neeson's The Naked Gun is an absolute laugh riot. It is a testament to the fact that physical humour, if done right, can never go out of fashion.” – The Times of India Aug 4, 2025 Full Review The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) 86% 2.5/5 EDIT “The modern breed of MCU fans might find this 'fancy' reboot exciting, but for comic book purists who've lived in awe of the Galactus character's might and magic, this one's a grave disservice.” – Filmfare Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Tanvi: The Great (2025) 3/5 EDIT “In the end, Tanvi The Great turns out to be a film with good intentions but not so great cinematic execution. But sometimes, one just has to look past the obvious flaws and shortcomings and appreciate the intent more than the action.” – The Times of India Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan (2025) 27% 3/5 EDIT “The irony of Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is that it asks you to watch closely, not for twists, but for truths. It demands a slower gaze, a quieter mind. And for those willing to meet it halfway, it offers a bittersweet reward.” – Filmfare Jul 11, 2025 Full Review F1 The Movie (2025) 82% 4.5/5 EDIT “Despite being 2 hours and 35 minutes long, F1 feels like a pulsating Formula One car rushing down a straight line at 200 miles per hour. It's exhilarating and very very satisfying.” – Filmfare Jun 27, 2025 Full Review 28 Years Later (2025) 88% 3/5 EDIT “The film has emotional depth, but it also feels a little too inconsistent and contrived. As a viewer, you'll find yourself navigating multiple feelings of thrill, spiritual intensity and abject disbelief while watching this movie. ” – Filmfare Jun 24, 2025 Full Review How to Train Your Dragon (2025) 77% 3.5/5 EDIT “Everything that was good about the original animated movie has been retained in the new film and it all still works wonders.” – Filmfare Jun 13, 2025 Full Review The Accountant 2 (2025) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “...while the film delivers visual polish and charismatic performances, it occasionally mistakes complexity for depth—stretching itself too thin when it should be hitting hard and fast.” – Filmfare Jun 9, 2025 Full Review The Phoenician Scheme (2025) 77% 3.5/5 EDIT “...The Phoenician Scheme is not Anderson's most cohesive work, but it is undeniably bold. It might not win over his skeptics, but for fans who revel in his surreal spectacle and satirical wit, it offers a visually rich, intellectually provocative ride.” – Filmfare Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Jaat (2025) 36% 3/5 EDIT “There's breakneck action, the chaos is nonstop and unrelenting, some of it is really fun if you like over-the-top entertainment. Does any of it make any actual sense? Probably not. But is it worth the price of an admission ticket? Most definitely 'Yes'.” – Filmfare Apr 16, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% 2.5/5 EDIT “Every frame, scene and shot is controlled and presented in a way that's endearing. But unlike a quintessential, Tarantino movie, the dramatic verve is missing.” – Filmfare Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 46% 2.5/5 EDIT “...Captain America: Brave New World isn't able to match up to the expectations nor the legacy driven ideas of the MCU's past.” – Filmfare Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Thandel (2024) 3.5/5 EDIT “DSP's music and Shamdat Sainudeen's cinematography are highlights of Thandel. Together the music and visuals of this film are at par with any international production one may have seen.” – Filmfare Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Companion (2025) 93% 3.5/5 EDIT “[Companion] had the potential, the indie spirit, but Hancock just chose the more palatable plots for his ending, and not the wildly different ideas that could have made this an absolute killer. ” – Filmfare Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Game Changer (2025) 3.5/5 EDIT “Ram Charan fans will enjoy Game Changer's high moments, but that X factor, which we last saw in RRR, is missing here.” – Filmfare Jan 16, 2025 Full Review
