Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday April 27, 2024

Ruslaan Review: Aayush Sharma Goes All Out In Painfully Bloated Concoction

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday April 26, 2024

Dil Dosti Dilemma Review: A Bubbly, Breezy And Occasionally Moving Coming-Of-Age Yarn

Saibal Chatterjee | Thursday April 25, 2024

Dil Dosti Dilemma Review: It thrives on the simple and pertinent ideas that it espouses about the clash of tradition and modernity and the importance of balancing heritage with hasty models of urban redevelopment driven by greed.

Do Aur Do Pyaar Review: An Unpretentious Little Gem That Is Remarkably Comfortable

Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday April 20, 2024

Do Aur Do Pyaar Review: The film's principal strength lies in the unusual, phenomenally felicitous pairing of Vidya Balan and Pratik Gandhi as a married couple who have drifted apart after years of wending their way through a stagnant relationship.

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday April 19, 2024

Love Sex Aur Dhokha 2 Review: The great thing about a Dibakar Banerjee film is that it never fails to spring surprises. LSD 2 has more than its share of fearless flights of fancy.

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday April 19, 2024

Civil War Review: Kirsten Dunst is brilliant. Wagner Moura and Stephen McKinley Henderson, too, are terrific. Holding her own among these stalwarts is Cailee Spaeny.

Amar Singh Chamkila Review: Diljit Dosanjh Is At His Very Best In Deftly Crafted Ode

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday April 12, 2024

Amar Singh Chamkila Review: The film is mournful and festive, animated and pensive, consciously crafted and seemingly spontaneous.

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday April 12, 2024

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan Review: Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff huff and puff their way through the film, Prithviraj Sukumaran strives in vain to make the nonsensical passable.

Patna Shuklla Review: Raveena Tandon Tries Her Best To Propel The Film But It Is A Losing Battle

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday March 29, 2024

Patna Shuklla Review: No matter how hard it tries to get us to engage with the important questions, the film raises with all the seriousness they merit, is the cinematic equivalent of a walkout bout. It is way too stiff and starchy to be a meaningful call to action.

Crew Review: A Heist Film Out To Deliver Some Harmless Fun

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday March 29, 2024

Crew Review: Kareena Kapoor turns the clock back a bit and lets her hair down without a care in the world. She comes up trumps. Tabu, too, rises above the din despite being saddled with a rather sketchily delineated character who has to carry much of the film's weight on her shoulders.
