Freddy
(2022)

Freddy is socially awkward, stunted, creepy, needy, tone-deaf and a bit of a lunatic. And that's just the film. Its protagonist is worse.

Indian 2

Sruthi Raman

It was a film that explored the penalty of being a bad and a good person. The sequel has no space for such deep dualities.

It empathises with poignant ground realities, but from the sky. As a result, it's hard to tell a soaring take-off from a choppy landing.

Run Baby Run

With none of the characters demanding any empathy from the audience, Run Baby Run’s only leverage is the whodunnit. That can only take the film so far.

Pichaikkaran 2
(2023)

Despite the option to develop its idea into a film like Billa, Pichaikkaran turns into a soapy melodrama that deviates too much from its campy genesis.

Asvins
(2023)
|
Sruthi Raman
|
A good atmospheric horror often always evokes dread with a kind of effort that's never visible on screen. Tarun Teja's Asvins is a technical coup, but take that away, and what we're left with is laboured and unaffecting plotting.

At over two hours, it all starts to feel like a blur – a murky whydunit where the film becomes a needy killer while the viewers slowly lose their ability to see the film.

If this film were a person, its own parents would use Kiran Rao’s Laapata Ladies as a sobering point of comparison and the real ‘Sharmajee Ki Beti.’ Be like her. Aim for balance. Work smart, not loud.

Complicated destiny is everything in Vijay Sethupathi’s terrific hyper-link thriller. It is this labyrinthine web of writing choices that also urges us to overlook its missteps.

All We Imagine as Light
(2024)
|
Anupama Chopra
|
All We Imagine As Light is a film that reveals its gifts at a measured pace and marinates in your head. The second hour, when the action moves to a village, is less effective but Payal is a formidable filmmaker. I can’t wait to see it again.
