The History of Sound
(2025)
|
Udita Jhunjhunwala
|
...the film is confident in its choices, content to let the music and its lead actors do the heavy lifting, as Lionel and David fight battles both externally and internally.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
(2026)
|
Udita Jhunjhunwala
|
The graphic violence and tone of The Bone Temple will not work for everyone, yet it remains a purposeful sequel, pushing the franchise forward.

Jay Kelly

Jay Kelly is occasionally uneven and overlong, yet it’s an intelligent, humorous and often emotional exploration of fame’s collateral damage.

Caught Stealing
(2025)
|
Udita Jhunjhunwala
|
The film is brutal—filled with bad luck, questionable choices and broken bodies—but it’s also thrilling, propelled by Butler’s performance and Aronofsky’s compassion for the flawed.

Kantara: A Legend - Chapter 1
(2025)
|
Udita Jhunjhunwala
|
The first half spends stretches in world-building, layering history, ritual and politics. It’s a breathless visual spectacle, loaded with concepts and commentary. The last 45 minutes, while packed with spectacle, are where the film unravels most.

Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari
(2025)
|

|
Khaitan and producers Dharma have embraced what one could call ‘wedding album cinema’—opulent sets, attractive costumes and meticulous staging. High on style, but low on logic or storyline.

Inspector Zende

What could have been an amusing, clever, maybe even a sharp send-up of criminal folklore, is instead riddled with scant humour, muddled history and bargain basement production values.

The Roses
(2025)

The Roses scores in the way it has contemporized the story, resetting it with British characters and trading some of that cruelty of the original for a bittersweet edge, balancing sharp humour with a genuine sense of loss.

The Thursday Murder Club

As a mystery, The Thursday Murder Club lacks bite, but as a cosy crime drama it is a pleasant watch—one that works best as a reminder that friendship and cleverness don’t fade with age.

Tehran
(2025)
|
Udita Jhunjhunwala
|
If one is able to overlook the few flaws, Gopalan’s film is occasionally gripping, offering an un-bombastic take on patriotism while acknowledging the complicated, transactional nature of international alliances and the ethical complexities of espionage.

Son of Sardaar 2

...the film does have visual appeal and a clean production design. But these surface-level strengths can’t compensate for a screenplay that doesn’t know whether it wants to be a satire, a family entertainer, or a commentary on modern relationships.

Aap Jaisa Koi

Unfortunately, the narrative is burdened by a script that lacks depth and a story that never quite takes off. Interactions are built around overly familiar themes of sexual conservatism, ego, and misunderstanding.

Atanu Mukherjee’s editing moves the 108-minute movie along briskly, while Khan holds your attention on screen. He is Pratman—arrogant, stylish, entitled, insecure, validation-seeking, remorseful—and he adeptly transitions through myriad shifting emotions.
