War 2 (2025) Poulomi Das In 2019, Siddharth Anand’s War gave us answers... But six years later, its sequel, the Ayan Mukerji-directed War 2, leaves us only with questions.

Dhadak 2 (2025) Poulomi Das In debutante director Shazia Iqbal’s hands, Dhadak 2 proves that, in India, love isn’t blind -- it sees caste in sharp, unforgiving focus.

Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom (2019) Siddhant Adlakha There's a plainness to the camera's framing of natural beauty... But, despite never fully taking advantage of all the tools at its disposal, the film excels at arguably the most important visual element: capturing human beauty through performance.

Looking for a Lady with Fangs and a Moustache (2019) Siddhant Adlakha With his fifth feature film, Norbu treats spiritual doctrine as something both liberating and perverse, an inward search with outward consequence.

Sitara: Let Girls Dream (2019) Siddhant Adlakha While it lacks the sheen of your average Pixar film, it has a free-flowing verve and vigor Hollywood studios could only dream of replicating. Chinoy uses gazes, glances, and mischievous glimmers to write a character piece as detailed as any feature film.

Gamak Ghar (2019) Siddhant Adlakha The film evokes more than it tells, and it feels like a dream in the process. It stands shoulder to shoulder with the reflective works of arthouse greats like Ozu, or perhaps Weerasethakul, though it's entirely Indian in its conception of home and family.

Eeb Allay Ooo! (2019) Siddhant Adlakha The film lets loose its eccentricities. It begins to feel as frenzied as wildlife tearing through concrete jungles, and its gonzo energy begins to exude an uncanny sense of freedom.

Funny Boy (2020) Siddhant Adlakha Despite its occasional failings, Funny Boy proves to be a moving retrospective on violence - both the explosive and bloody kind, as well as the intimate, emotional, and quieter violence of family - and the zest for life it so often threatens.

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) Siddhant Adlakha Today, DDLJ is at once both intimately familiar and unmistakably of its era, a response to the influx of western culture into India in the 1990s and an attempt to center both progress and tradition in the very same breath.

Court (2014) Siddhant Adlakha An incisive upending of the nexus between legalese and tradition, Chaitanya Tamhane's authentic judicial drama gets into the cogs of India's censorship laws and their overlap with India's broken courts (and the people who keep them broken).

Sairat (2016) Siddhant Adlakha Manjule earns the film's three-hour runtime, exploring both the harsh stresses of romance on-the-run and the unrelenting specter of caste violence, which looms over even the most romantic of scenes.

To Let (2019) Siddhant Adlakha The film lingers on details and spaces, exploring the fundamental question of what "home" even means, in a world where the physical is temporary.

Udaan (2010) Siddhant Adlakha It plays, at times, like a spiritual successor to François Truffaut's The 400 Blows, though it quietly paves its own path, rooting its story in the tensions between Indian tradition and Indian youth yearning to fly free.

Anhey Gorhey da Daan (2011) Siddhant Adlakha A portrait of what poverty, and the accompanying specter of death, can do to a human being.

Chitrangada: The Crowning Wish (2012) Siddhant Adlakha Every shot is staged like a Renaissance painting; bodies move and dance together, even in stillness, turning the anxious, oppressive energy of dysphoria into liberating spiritual passion. A tender work of abstraction from one of India's queer icons.

Ship of Theseus (2012) Siddhant Adlakha It's a dialogue-heavy film, one where opposing ideologies come into contact in a multitude of tongues, but it's one where writer-director Gandhi and cinematographer Pankaj Kumar turn each widescreen frame into thought-provoking tableaus.

The Lunchbox (2013) Siddhant Adlakha A bittersweet story of moving on, of memory and nostalgia, and of familiar songs, smells and sensations that ground us, and remind us of who we once were.

Gully Boy (2019) Siddhant Adlakha Shot with the verve of a Spike Lee film - as if in tribute to hip hop's black roots and Lee's own music videos - Murad floats through space, as if momentarily untethered from gravity and unrestrained by circumstance.
