3/5
Border 2 (2026) Saibal Chatterjee It is inevitable for a movie this long to occasionally sink into tedium. Border 2 does. But it has just enough ammunition in its armoury to be able to keep blitzkrieg going no matter what.

2.5/5
Parasakthi (2026) Saibal Chatterjee Parasakthi, in spite of the star power, is a completely different kettle of fish because it does not for the most part look to deliver big-on-booming-ballistics kind of entertainment.

2/5
The Raja Saab (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Prabhas tries hard, very hard indeed, to lift the film out of its morass but it is all akin to tilting at windmills. Flitting between two personas - invincible action hero and sociable young man - the actor stretches himself thin.

3.5/5
Ikkis (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Dharmendra's final screen appearance enormously enriches an emotionally engaging, if not viscerally rousing, film that pivots around a pair of key performances from lead actor Agastya Nanda and Jaideep Ahlawat.

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Flip, frivolous and not as much fun as it aspires to be: that about sums up the first half of Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.

2/5
Tere Ishk Mein (2025) Saibal Chatterjee While the score works, little else in the film is music. Tere Ishk Mein is a love story that is an advertisement that love can do without.

3/5
120 Bahadur (2025) Saibal Chatterjee 120 Bahadur is consistently watchable because it is aware of where it is going and is able to get there without letting the pitfalls of the genre deflect it from its path.

3/5
Haq (2025) Saibal Chatterjee ...Haq tackles an emotive and sensitive topic. It could easily have gone overboard. That it does not is the film's greatest strength.

2/5
The Taj Story (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Notwithstanding the title, The Taj Story does not have much of a story to tell. What it does peddle by way of a narrative has not only been done to death over the decades but has also been debunked in several courts of the land, including the apex one.

2.5/5
Thamma (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Thamma, scripted by Munjya writer Niren Bhatt in collaboration with Suresh Mathew and Arun Fulara, blends a steadily solemn streak with a sustained spirt of playfulness.

3/5
Bison (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Mari Selvaraj blends two dimensions of his film - sport and life as reflections of each other - and brings them alive in fascinating unison.

3/5
Kantara: A Legend - Chapter 1 (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Kantara: A Legend - Chapter 1 is a manic, sometimes befuddling, mix of history, myth, cinematic craft and performative power. When the disparate components and conceits blend well, it is an undeniably compelling watch.

2.5/5
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Parts of the film are funny all right, but the flimsy and frivolous foundation on which the lightweight narrative stands often gives way to wobbly passages.

2.5/5
They Call Him OG (2025) Saibal Chatterjee The film is written and directed by Sujeeth of Saaho fame with an eye on pleasing the star's fan base with more than they can bargain for rather than on serving the cause of the medium and the script.
Posted Sep 26, 2025  Edit critic review
3/5
Nishaanchi (2025) Saibal Chatterjee ...Nishaanchi brims with raw action, earthy humour and gnarled emotions that frequently unleash full-blown violence. Notwithstanding its ups and downs, the film retains its crackle all the way through.

2.5/5
Baaghi 4 (2025) Saibal Chatterjee If you are looking for a positive, let's say this: it is mounted and filmed with a semblance of flair. If only it had a stronger script to go with all the vim and vigour, it might have been a somewhat different story.

3/5
Coolie (2025) Saibal Chatterjee ...Rajini's all-encompassing persona powers the film along when it tends to flag a touch or is in danger of losing its way a bit in a maze of sporadic subplots and backstories.

1.5/5
Son of Sardaar 2 (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Films that try extremely hard to make us laugh often end up becoming laughable. Not that all of Son of Sardaar 2 is a washout. It does have its moments...but taken together they do not translate into a passably meaningful whole.
Posted Aug 04, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Sweet Dreams (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Is Sweet Dreams more than the sum of its parts? Not really, but its air of sustained light-heartedness ensures that it is taken for what it is - a frothy yet genteel take on the dynamics of love, dating and telepathy.

3/5
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Saibal Chatterjee What serves The Fantastic Four: First Steps...best are the actors, who breathe life into the characters even when they do not appear to be etched with the required sharpness.

2/5
Tanvi: The Great (2025) Saibal Chatterjee The film makes the right noises but its strokes, despite being consistently well-directed, are delivered without ambiguity and nuance. Its emotive tugs and pulls are both laborious and inconsistent.
Posted Jul 18, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Maalik (2025) Saibal Chatterjee The overlong, ultra-violent crime drama revels in assiduously abiding by the rules of the game. It does not make even a token attempt to break new ground.
Posted Jul 12, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Yes, Jurassic World Rebirth isn't quite the shot in arm that it could have been for a fading, if not altogether moribund, idea. It is a pale shadow of all that has gone before, a cinematic mutant that moviegoers could have done without.

2.5/5
F1 The Movie (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Not all the kinesis and effervescence that [F1] packs can pull it out of its formulaic arc. It feels all too pat and oddly low on dramatic spin.
Posted Jun 27, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Maa (2025) Saibal Chatterjee [Maa] cannot, however, prevent itself from straying into laughable terrain more often than is good for it. Maa is just too weird to be the patriarchy-busting fantasy that it aims to be.

3.5/5
Sitaare Zameen Par (2025) Saibal Chatterjee In its celebration of diversity and inclusion, Sitaare Zameen Par goes further than any Indian movie ever has.

1.5/5
Housefull 5 (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Housefull 5 – this critic has watched only one of the two versions out in the multiplexes – is a defiantly flaky comedy that is undermined by hopelessly flaccid plotting.

2/5
Thug Life (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Once the core of its central idea begins to wear thin as a result of being stretched to snapping point, not even Mani Ratnam's style and Kamal Haasan's presence are enough to pull the bacons out of the fire.
Posted Jun 06, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Bhool Chuk Maaf (2025) Saibal Chatterjee It isn't only owing to its outlandish plot that Bhool Chuk Maaf is a tad difficult to comprehend and decipher. It goes round and round in circles.

2/5
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Saibal Chatterjee The film is a cinematic complex of fadeouts and fade-ins, flashbacks and flash forwards, montages of fleeting snatches from previous M:I films, and old characters and new. It is often distracting, if not outright confusing.
Posted May 20, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Raid 2 (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Raid 2, riding on the star power of Ajay Devgn,... is a maze of facile contrivances. The outcome does not match the film's ambition and the performances, commendably restrained as they are, fail to offset the drudgery.

1.5/5
Jewel Thief - The Heist Begins (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Jewel Thief - The Heist Begins, all style and no substance, is an abomination of monumental proportions. Beyond trite, it rests on a premise that should have been snuffed out on paper itself.

3.5/5
Phule (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Phule tells an inspiring tale but it is not the sort of crowd-pleasing movie that could inveigle those who watch and enjoy Chhaava and Tanhaji. It is strictly for those who can separate grain from cinematic chaff.

2.5/5
Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh (2025) Saibal Chatterjee As a star vehicle, Kesari Chapter 2 has some merits because the actor in question, despite not being the right man for the role, gives it all he has. As history, it is pure Bollywood. It errs on the side of superficiality.
Posted Apr 21, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Jaat (2025) Saibal Chatterjee ...the rough-and-ready tropes that once worked famously for [Sunny Deol] and his films no longer possess the sheen that can help deflect our attention from a patchy script riddled with holes the size of giant craters.
Posted Apr 11, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Sikandar (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Little of what Sikandar cobbles together - the story and screenplay are both by the director - achieves any degree of coherence. It's way too dependent on wild yet unimaginative contrivances that strain credulity.

2.5/5
Empuraan - Lucifer 2 (2025) Saibal Chatterjee L2: Empuraan could have done with more weight and depth. Both are beyond it. Its sporadic hig points notwithstanding, it somehow always delivers markedly less than it promises.

The Diplomat (2025) Saibal Chatterjee ...[The Diplomat] as a whole, it gets just about everything right. And that, needless to say, is no mean feat.

2/5
Nadaaniyan (2025) Saibal Chatterjee The film juggles sundry ideas from Karan Johar's early blockbusters (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, K3G, et al) and updates them, without much originality, for the consumption of Gen Z social media addicts who would rather die than go off the grid.

Crazxy (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Crazxy isn't an average crowd-pleaser. It dares to be different and sticks to its guns. That is where the appeal of the film lies.

4/5
Superboys of Malegaon (2024) Saibal Chatterjee ...Superboys of Malegaon is a welcome respite from the deafening din, a return to a cinematic canvas on which tangible humanity comes up against its own shortcomings and looks for ways around them.

1.5/5
Mere Husband Ki Biwi (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Mere Husband Ki Biwi, caught in a yawning gap between intent and execution, gropes in the dark for inspiration and fresh ideas and finds none worth a mention.

2.5/5
Chhaava (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Chhaava is a tiresome film because it has no layers. Playing out over two hours and ten minutes, it is a single-note tale that does not evolve beyond the greed vs glory, brutality vs righteousness register.

2/5
Dhoom Dhaam (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Dhoom Dhaam is harmless diversion with a few stray sparks, but it isn't as much fun as it aspires to be.

Loveyapa (2025) Saibal Chatterjee Loveyapa will probably not send you into paroxysms of delight, but it is a decent enough film while it lasts.

The Mehta Boys (2024) Saibal Chatterjee The heart-warming drama is enlivened by the wonderful central performances from Boman Irani and Avinash Tiwary, perfectly complemented by Shreya Chaudhry. It is watchable all the way.

3/5
Mrs. (2023) Saibal Chatterjee ...who needs a reworking of a story that is available on an OTT platform? To Kadav's credit, Mrs. is more than a reproduction. It has a distinct soul.

3/5
The Storyteller (2022) Saibal Chatterjee The Storyteller is an earnest, assiduously composed hommage...and a genteel ode to the stories we experience, tell, commit to memory and, when needed, borrow or steal to make sense of life and its complexities.

3/5
Deva (2025) Saibal Chatterjee ... even if you remember the Malayalam film and know how it winds up, Deva has something in store for you. It is a Shahid Kapoor show all the way but Deva certainly isn't only for fans of the star.

4/5
Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama (1993) Saibal Chatterjee ...as a piece of cinema, it may be a thing from the past, but its message is still as relevant as ever.
