After a long time… After a long time, a Hindi movie grabbed my interest from its trailer to watch in a theatre… Could be an underdog, a laugh riot or an absolutely absurd world of a disaster film which turns out to be unbearable with no big stars, has happened to us as audiences in…
RomCom? That too the typical Bollywood one with an airport scene at the climax! Will it be worth watching? Read on! HOW IT ALWAYS STARTS! Yes, when I say the typical Bollywood rom-com, I mean it… The movie starts with a song, an intro song of our hero, the song with lyrics ‘Ek baar hi…
A promising Valentine weekend OTT film, expected to be classy, a mature take on the modern urban relationships, mid-life crises dealer & healer, intellectual cinema types, that’s what it looks to you, right? GETTING DEEP… So let’s take a deep dive into this so-called fancy title ‘Gehraiyaan’. Mind you, they literally have tidal wave shots…
Missing those masala entertainers from the late 90s & 2000s? ‘Filmy log, filmy situations or tum bohot filmy ho…’ why do we say that is because Hindi cinema is melodramatic & the masala Hindi film is the only type of cinema that is irreplaceable by any other language films for us. Here is Mimi, a…

And they bought it??…
The trailer itself was appealing (though most of them are deceptive these days) and I booked the tickets without reading any reviews or seeing any recommendations from people cause one thing it seemed to promise was ‘Entertainment’. Probably after Simmba this was one film that did this from its trailers unlike those ‘so-called biopics’ and…

Yes, a recipe for a Zoya Akhtar film – Philosopher protagonist, a journey or a struggle story, Javedsaab’s amazing poetry or analysis of life & the world, the rich people’s lifestyle – the last one changed to filthy roads & slums of Dharavi keeping the rest intact… The story is quite predictable from the trailer;…
So I went to a theatre for a movie after missing a lot of mixed feelings, mixed review films released this year… the last one I saw was Stree in September. Going by my gut and having some faith in Ranveer Singh’s performance, Rohit Shetty’s action and Farhad Samji’s dialogue writing, I chose this one….
