Ikkis (2025) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “Ikkis works as a warm, heartfelt tribute—not only to the nation’s bravehearts but also as a quiet acknowledgement of the late Dharmendra’s acting prowess and range...” – The Times of India Jan 2, 2026 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “Of a strong story and character development, Avatar: Fire and Ash becomes a hollow spectacle — visually dazzling but emotionally inert.” – The Times of India Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “The unravelling of the murder is clever and the final twist genuinely unexpected, though the film takes a bit too long finding its rhythm. A tighter narrative pace could have elevated this slow-burn thriller even further.” – The Times of India Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Dhurandhar (2025) 42% 3.5/5 EDIT “An extension of Uri’s ‘Yeh naya India hai, yeh ghar mein ghusega bhi aur maarega bhi’ sentiment, despite its length and unflinching violence, Dhurandhar grips you from start to finish and never lets go.” – The Times of India Dec 5, 2025 Full Review 120 Bahadur (2025) 73% 3/5 EDIT “Despite its flaws, 120 Bahadur avoids glorifying war. Its sincerity is both its strength and its limitation. A heartfelt tribute wrapped in a familiar template; 120 Bahadur deserved a more arresting and emotionally resonant execution.” – The Times of India Nov 21, 2025 Full Review Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) 60% 3/5 EDIT “NYSM threequel is slick and spirited, but an over-reliance on digital spectacle dilutes the delicious “wait…how did they do that?” tension that should define the series.” – The Times of India Nov 21, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 3.5/5 EDIT “Dwayne Johnson delivers a career-best performance, disappearing into the role of Kerr with heartbreaking honesty. ” – The Times of India Oct 9, 2025 Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 2 (2025) 15% 2.5/5 EDIT “The scares are predictable and there’s nothing here that hasn’t been done in countless horror films before. There’s no innovation, no standout moment, and no unique twist to justify its existence.” – The Times of India Sep 29, 2025 Full Review Homebound (2025) 97% 5/5 EDIT “Homebound raises many questions. How did we get here? What has made us so bereft of empathy and compassion? A soul-stirring observation of a world growing cold, this is filmmaking at its finest.” – The Times of India Sep 23, 2025 Full Review The Long Walk (2025) 88% 3.5/5 EDIT “With democracies turning dictatorial and the world facing economic crises, this film’s relevance goes beyond the surface. Witnessing this journey, which is open to interpretation, is as gruelling and intense for the audience as it is for the participants.” – The Times of India Sep 15, 2025 Full Review The Fable (2024) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Fascinating mystery with a touch of magic realism give this whodunit an edge. Watch it for its mesmerising storytelling and scenic beauty.” – The Times of India Sep 12, 2025 Full Review The Conjuring: Last Rites (2025) 58% 3/5 EDIT “Overloaded with ambition, the uneven pacing may not rob its tension, but it makes the experience more exhausting than terrifying. At 2 hours and 15 minutes, the final instalment feels bogged down by its heavy-handed emotional drama.” – The Times of India Sep 5, 2025 Full Review Weapons (2025) 93% 4/5 EDIT “A gorgeous blend of crime thriller, mystery and horror, Cregger entraps you in his insane world and you enjoy it there. The climax in particular is a cherry on top.” – The Times of India Aug 11, 2025 Full Review Nikita Roy (2025) 3/5 EDIT “If you are obsessed with atmospheric thrillers, you won’t mind this one just for its fear element, the story feels flat.” – The Times of India Jul 25, 2025 Full Review Aap Jaisa Koi (2025) 40% 2.5/5 EDIT “The actors are sincere, but their character arcs offer little scope to showcase their full acting potential. Both R Madhavan and Fatima are lovely as an unlikley couple but are underutilised as other subplots take over.” – The Times of India Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Superman (2025) 83% 3.5/5 EDIT “Superman is entertaining, enjoyable, even epic but never intense. James Gunn’s non-origin story soars high visually but stays limited emotionally.” – The Times of India Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Metro... In Dino (2025) 69% 3.5/5 EDIT “There has been a scarcity of love stories in Bollywood and Metro In Dino, elevated by some fine performances, fills that gap perfectly. It is a breezy, intimate watch tailor-made for rainy days.” – The Times of India Jul 2, 2025 Full Review Ballerina (2025) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “Director Len Wiseman creates a distinct lead that doesn’t aspire to be a John Wick and Ana de Armas’ casting is a cherry on top. The actress blends pulsating action and vulnerability flawlessly. ” – The Times of India Jun 12, 2025 Full Review The Life of Chuck (2024) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Apocalyptic and fantastical, the film can seem abstract and experimental in its treatment, but the language is universal, and it hits just the right spot – live each moment without delaying your happiness.” – The Times of India Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Housefull 5 (2025) 13% 2.5/5 EDIT “What surprises you is the utter lack of humour, even dirty humour if we may say so in the script and sheer wastage of a zillion actors who are known for their comic timing.” – The Times of India Jun 6, 2025 Full Review Bhool Chuk Maaf (2025) 27% 3/5 EDIT “The social commentary through humour isn’t predictable and is well established. You just wish it didn’t take an hour to get there.” – The Times of India May 23, 2025 Full Review Lilo & Stitch (2025) 72% 3.5/5 EDIT “Little Maia Kealoha is a star! Do not miss out on this cute alien invasion. If you like feel-good buddy movies, you’ll love this one.” – The Times of India May 23, 2025 Full Review Raid 2 (2025) 33% 3/5 EDIT “Raid 2 stays true to its theme, but it takes itself a bit too seriously.” – The Times of India May 1, 2025 Full Review Until Dawn (2025) 52% 2.5/5 EDIT “The video game adaptation feels campy and never offers the ‘alarming fear’ you seek from thrillers.” – The Times of India Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Warfare (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “There is no music, the enemies are barely shown and the entire film is shot at one location. This no-frills innovative approach creates a film so immersive, terrifying and gripping that you want to be evacuated, let alone have popcorn or coffee!” – The Times of India Apr 20, 2025 Full Review
