  • 'The Good Liar': A fabulously meshed con-caper

    'The Good Liar': A fabulously meshed con-caper


    Based on the novel of the same name by Nicholas Searle, director Bill Condon's, "The Good Liar" is a smartly mounted and fabulously meshed tale of con and revenge, where the manipulation is apparent and yet intriguing and not a put-off.

  • The Irishman Is A Rambling Masterpiece

    The Irishman Is A Rambling Masterpiece


    It is not easy to sit through 209 minutes of this magnificent mobster-piece. After all, we don't love mobsters as much as Martin Scorcese, who has had a life-long passion for the trigger-happy outcasts who, for reasons of perverse pride and honour and subverted masculinity, love to shoot their victims in the face.

  • Movie Review: 'Commando 3'

    Movie Review: 'Commando 3'


    "Commando 3" tries doing too many things. It tries serving an extra-large dose of pop patriotism, because that's the flavour of the season and the hero is a special-op commando. It tries being a larger-than-life Bollywood action film of the eighties, and also a designer, new-gen Hollywood thriller. More than anything else, the film tries to be a faithful sequel, because that's where the money lies.

  • ‘Hotel Mumbai’ is a relevant film

    ‘Hotel Mumbai’ is a relevant film


    An Australian filmmaker has delivered the definitive manifesto on what must surely rank as one of India's most tragic carnages in history and, come to think, that should be a sobering thought for Bollywood.

  • 'Aamis': Love & Meat In Shocking Embrace

    'Aamis': Love & Meat In Shocking Embrace


    It is in the fitness of things in this bizarre but persuasive exposition on flesh-eating obsessions, that the search for love, or for a ‘meet', merges into a growing obsession with meat that finally culminates in a horrific crime that is repugnant and in many ways, deeply offensive.

  • '21 Bridges' is slick but generic

    '21 Bridges' is slick but generic


    Televison Director Brian Kirk's maiden feature film "21 Bridges" is designed by amalgamating a pumped-up cop-versus-criminal chase and beat-the-clock crime thriller. It is slickly mounted, action packed and dark. The tale unfurls one night in Manhattan.

  • 'Remember Amnesia': Actors elevate this rom-com

    'Remember Amnesia': Actors elevate this rom-com


    ‘Remember Amnesia' is an Indie film in English, written and directed by Dr Ravi Godse. Despite having suspense and romance in equal measure, it lags way lower in the rung as a rom-com.

  • 'Frozen II': A typical family entertainer

    'Frozen II': A typical family entertainer


    Compared to its prequel of 2013, the tale of "Frozen II" is more entertaining than dazzling, and fluid than solid. It has all the trappings of a Disney film, yet it is not as exciting as the first edition.
