'Pati Patni Aur Woh' is a fun watch
The interesting thing about the reimagined "Pati Patni Aur Woh" is its setting.

"The Report" is very hard to define
After 9/11, we have seen many post-trauma disorder dramas on screen, some good, others not so good.

'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.

'Knives Out': Predictable yet entertaining
"Knives Out" is a well-mounted, star-studded, old-style murder mystery that's entertaining while it lasts.

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'
"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.

'Pagalpanti': Not 'Pagal' enough
Okay, you're not supposed to look for a story. They don't want you to look for logic either

'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
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' 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
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.
