1/5
Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan (2025) Sukanya Verma The only people Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan deems blind is the audience to think they cannot see what poppycock unfolds.

Aap Jaisa Koi (2025) Sukanya Verma A fanciful air envelopes its modest drama, of a story lost in its own bubble that's only burst by villains in the form of judgemental jerks and heroes in need of rescuing.

Detective Sherdil (2025) Sukanya Verma There's less 'who' and more 'who cares' to this whodunit.

Metro... In Dino (2025) Sukanya Verma Messy musing on metropolitan monotony.

Housefull 5 (2025) Sukanya Verma Housefull 5 is the most idiotic thing I've watched this year.

Stolen (2023) Sukanya Verma '...captures the harrowing journey of a pair of brothers out of the frying pan and into the fire.'

2/5
Bhool Chuk Maaf (2025) Sukanya Verma Bhool Chuk Maaf has a fairly well-intentioned premise that's marred by the monotony of its leading man's overkill in the space as well as writer-director Karan Sharma's noisy, callow treatment.

Logout (2024) Sukanya Verma Babil’s palpable reactions to invasion of privacy make a strong case for Logout’s plausible scenario.
Posted May 12, 2025  Edit critic review
Raid 2 (2025) Sukanya Verma Hammy treatment and bombastic score strips the realism to turn Raid 2 into another hail the hero exercise.

2.5/5
Jewel Thief - The Heist Begins (2025) Sukanya Verma Forget smarts or cheek, there’s little novelty to be found in Jewel Thief’s juvenile script, barring its now free usage of the F-word to make it sound all hip and adult.

2/5
Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh (2025) Sukanya Verma Playing yet another real life hero with the same righteous rage he’s turned into his calling card, Akshay Kumar's ‘more of the same’ shtick has long lost its appeal.

Kesari (2019) Sukanya Verma Akshay and Action are Kesari's strengths

1.5/5
Chhorii 2 (2025) Sukanya Verma Spending a bulk of its running time meandering across corridors strewn in silly jump scares and ritualistic gobbledygook, Chhorii 2 frustrates way more than it frightens.

1/5
Sikandar (2025) Sukanya Verma There's not any effort -- not even a smidgen -- to resurrect a superstar on the wane in Sikandar.
Posted Mar 31, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
The Diplomat (2025) Sukanya Verma The possibilities of this serviceable thriller are immense but the makers prefer to play it safe and hold back the daredevil in the diplomat's clothing.

2.5/5
Be Happy (2025) Sukanya Verma Choreographer-turned-director Remo D'Souza can sure set the stage on fire but isn't quite the storyteller.
Posted Mar 17, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Nadaaniyan (2025) Sukanya Verma Funny how the paparazzi regularly haunting Ibrahim's gym trips capture a far more relaxed and disarming side to his persona than the film.
Posted Mar 09, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Mere Husband Ki Biwi (2025) Sukanya Verma Between done-to-death tropes and flimsily updated ones, Mere Husband Ki Biwi sticks to ancient formulae yet gives a semblance of keeping up with the times only to confirm that old habits die hard.
Posted Mar 04, 2025  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Dhoom Dhaam (2025) Sukanya Verma Dhoom Dhaam is the sort of run-of-the-mill rollercoaster that sponges off all the cliches of the crime comedy genre for an endgame that's foreseeable from a mile even before the ball gets rolling.
Posted Feb 15, 2025  Edit critic review
4/5
Mrs. (2023) Sukanya Verma Mrs succeeds in riling you up for all the right reasons. And without resorting to high-pitched drama.
Posted Feb 15, 2025  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Anuja (2025) Sukanya Verma It's a mild mannered depiction of a robbed childhood that pulls down its rose-tinted glasses every now and then.
Posted Feb 07, 2025  Edit critic review
2/5
Deva (2025) Sukanya Verma Shahid's rippling physicality and unhinged vigour is the only thing that keeps the momentum going in a mediocre rehash dumbed down by flimsy motive and mindless bravado.

2/5
Baby John (2024) Sukanya Verma Varun Dhawan is still too much of a Baby to be a John.

3.5/5
I Want to Talk (2024) Sukanya Verma Abhishek Bachchan conveys the numerous chapters and challenges of his mind, body and soul with a never-before candour.

4/5
All We Imagine as Light (2024) Sukanya Verma Payal Kapadia's understanding of what it means to be a woman is as poignant as her authentic portrait of Mumbai's hoi polloi.
Posted Nov 22, 2024  Edit critic review
1/5
The Sabarmati Report (2024) Sukanya Verma The Sabarmati Report is so flimsy in its execution, taking offence to it would be dignifying its existence.
Posted Nov 17, 2024  Edit critic review
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (2024) Sukanya Verma For a franchise that's build itself around a catchy ear worm and a ghost who likes to introduce themselves in ways that's more Bong than Bond, Bhool Bhulaiyaa preserves its 'silly scary movie that knows it is a silly scary movie' tone for a good measure.

Do Patti (2024) Sukanya Verma Collapses like a house of cards when it aims to be clever, or worse still, a crusader.

Jigra (2024) Sukanya Verma Name Is Bachchan. Alia Bachchan.

1.5/5
Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video (2024) Sukanya Verma Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video has the eagerness of a standup comic. It is the sort of movie that feels obliged to make a joke before a sentence, between a sentence and after a sentence. Problem is the humour is not just pedestrian, it's also plain unfunny

CTRL (2024) Sukanya Verma Riveting, masterful. I would recommend watching it on a computer for an eerie, immersive, real-time experience.

The Girl on the Train (2020) Sukanya Verma If only The Girl on the Train was as invested in its potential as it is in Parineeti Chopra's kajal in the film...
Posted Oct 02, 2024  Edit critic review
Eeb Allay Ooo! (2019) Sukanya Verma The degree of depth and sensitivity demonstrated by Director Prateek Vats in his debut feature film is stuff of auteurs. Equally commendable are cinematographer Sahi's visuals of this social satire. Seek out this gem if you already haven't discovered it.
Posted Oct 02, 2024  Edit critic review
Chhapaak (2020) Sukanya Verma Meghna Gulzar documents Chhapaak's grim reality barefacedly without losing sight of its character's quiet determination to fight the reasons that make such heinous crimes possible in the first place.

3.5/5
The White Tiger (2021) Sukanya Verma The White Tiger makes a stinging commentary on New India's half-baked vision, but Ramin Bahrani isn't telling a Slumdog fairy tale here.

Palmer (2021) Sukanya Verma In this moving melodrama of unlikely bonds, Justin Timberlake plays a former football star and prisoner starting afresh as a school janitor...it's easy to see where this is going but you just don't mind.

Durgamati: The Myth (2020) Sukanya Verma Perfectly decent actors show zero inclination to make it work.

3.5/5
AK vs AK (2020) Sukanya Verma Anil Kapoor's mastery shows in how he finds the space between an actor reaching out to his actuality while remaining an actor while Anurag Kashyap's comfort in bullying his co-actor fuels their bickering camaraderie.

2.5/5
Ludo (2020) Sukanya Verma Between that constant feeling of I've seen it all before and inability to balance comedy and darkness, Ludo wobbles towards its finish.

Taish (2020) Sukanya Verma Bejoy Nambiar's gripping slice-of-mess about things spiraling out of control find an expression in a striking ensemble and volatile scenery.

2.5/3
Devara Part 1 (2024) Sukanya Verma Devara's self-appointed guardian of the sea unleashing violence as a means to end violence is purely Junior NTR fan-tasy.

2/5
Yudhra (2024) Sukanya Verma There are so many loopholes in this lazily scribbled plot, it could be a different movie and still as crummy.
Posted Sep 23, 2024  Edit critic review
3/5
The Buckingham Murders (2023) Sukanya Verma Melancholy has a muse in Kareena Kapoor Khan. Stripped off all her effervescence, one of the most vibrant forces of the silver screen transforms into a sublime portrait of sadness.

Khaali Peeli (2020) Sukanya Verma Khaali Peeli has the wits of a kindergarten school play...
Posted Aug 29, 2024  Edit critic review
Ginny Weds Sunny (2020) Sukanya Verma If the ravishing Yami Gautam injects vivacity and vulnerability in her dilly-dallying Ginny, Vikrant Massey is absolutely smashing as the sweet-natured dunce who endears himself to her.

Sadak 2 (2020) Sukanya Verma Between phony philosophical musings and Abbas-Mustan level of believe-it-or-not twists, Sadak 2 dodders towards its dead end destination...

Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl (2020) Sukanya Verma Loving your country is not about screaming from the rooftops, he says, but doing what you do as well as you can. It shouldn't matter if the one doing it is a woman or a man.

The Emperor of the Mughals (1960) Sukanya Verma Mughal-E-Azam is an epic event in the history of Indian cinema.

Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan (2020) Sukanya Verma Khurrana and Jitendra Kumar cut an adorable picture in a movie that is as comfortable about their sexuality as they are in the film.

Yeh Ballet (2020) Sukanya Verma Sooni Taraporewala makes us root for her young characters even if we aren't entirely sure about the depth of their feelings.
