Review: 'Thappad' resonates with impact

"Thappad", Anubhav Sinha recently declared, is meant to be the concluding feature of his â€˜discrimination trilogy' -- the other two being "Mulk" (2018), which spoke of bigotry in the name of religion, and "Article 15" (2019), his manifesto on oppression on the basis of caste.

Review: 'Hunters': Holocaust pop with a twist of gore

By Vinayak ChakravortyThe horrors of Holocaust get a twist of Tarantino-esque violence, and larger-than-life drama is played out to the point of absurdity at times, in Amazon Primes new 10-episode show.

Review: 'Brahms: The Boy II': Lacklustre and lazily crafted sequel

"Brahms: The Boy II" is a hastily and lazily-crafted sequel of the 2016-released horror film, "The Boy". It brings back the creepy doll who ended up having a twisted secret in the earlier edition.

Review: 'Little Women': Oddly nonlinear but effective

Director Greta Gerwig's "Little Women", is an adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's 1868 novel of the same name. Like the novel, the film too has the timbre of a timeless, literary classic.

Review: 'Birds Of Prey': Madcap comedy with sincere moments

"Birds Of Prey" is a vibrant, cheeky and stylised team-up of DC Comics' female anti-heroes,which is designed as a satire to show the position of women in the comic book universe. This is the eighth film in the DC Extended Universe and a sort of a follow-up to the 2016-released "Suicide Squad".

Review: 'Gul Makai': Malala biopic is half-baked fare

Om Puri's two-scene cameo is a dead giveaway. Since Puri passed away in January 2017, this film must be at least three years old. As the minutes pass, the incessant loud filmmaking that hits you has you wondering if this is some sort of a B-grader straight out of three decades ago.

Review: 'The Gentlemen': Stylishly mounted with anachronistic feel

Guy Ritchie's "The Gentlemen", with a adishonour-amongst-thieves plot', is an action comedy that's talk heavy, and has a seedy, anachronistic feel, more like a throwback to the films of the 1990s.

Review: 'Panga': Kangana and cast shine in feel-good flick

"Panga" is the sort of film you easily fall in love with. It has a stellar cast in fine form, is directed by a filmmaker who knows her business of storytelling only too well, and it manages to deliver a topical comment without getting too preachy about it. It is an entertaining film that effortlessly reaches out to the wider audience, and at the same time doesn't lose connect with basic cinematic aesthetics.
