The Great Indian Family Review: Vicky Kaushal Is In Fine Fettle In Rambunctious Dramedy

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday September 22, 2023

The Great Indian Family Review: The support that Vicky's energetic performance receives from the rest of the cast - Kumud Mishra and Manoj Pahwa in particular - stands out.

<i>Jaane Jaan</i> Review: Kareena Kapoor Conveys Wide Gamut Of Emotions In Mystery Thriller

Jaane Jaan Review: Kareena Kapoor Conveys Wide Gamut Of Emotions In Mystery Thriller

Saibal Chatterjee | Thursday September 21, 2023

Jaane Jaan Review: Jaideep Ahlawat makes light work of an extremely demanding character. Vijay Varma, who has to work the hardest because his policeman is bereft of the layers that the single mother and the math teacher have, lifts the character well above the ordinary.

<i>A Haunting In Venice</i> Review: Kenneth Branagh's Classic Whodunit Breaks Genre Norms

A Haunting In Venice Review: Kenneth Branagh's Classic Whodunit Breaks Genre Norms

Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday September 16, 2023

A Haunting In Venice Review: There is neither death nor murder in the title, but the stench of war, pestilence and toxicity are all-pervasive in a film in which Hercule Poirot finds himself trying to solve a case that may be in the domain of the occult.

<i>Kaala</i> Review: All Sound And Fury, A Shot In The Dark That Misses The Mark

Kaala Review: All Sound And Fury, A Shot In The Dark That Misses The Mark

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday September 15, 2023

Kaala Review: A frenzied blend of suspense, adventure and dramatic highs that never settles into a rhythm.

<i>Bambai Meri Jaan</i> Review: The Actors Save The Day In Sporadically Gripping Underworld History

Bambai Meri Jaan Review: The Actors Save The Day In Sporadically Gripping Underworld History

Saibal Chatterjee | Thursday September 14, 2023

Bambai Meri Jaan Review: Kay Kay Menon and Avinash Tiwary as a pair of father and son who do not see eye to eye lead the charge but there is much more to the series on the acting front than the two actors who turbocharge the show.

<i>The World Is Family</i> Review: History Hits Home In Anand Patwardhan's Superb Documentary

Saibal Chatterjee | Monday September 11, 2023

<i>Jawan</i> Review: Strikingly Meta Vehicle Taps The Magnetism Of Shah Rukh Khan

Jawan Review: Strikingly Meta Vehicle Taps The Magnetism Of Shah Rukh Khan

Saibal Chatterjee | Thursday September 07, 2023

Jawan Review: In the final act, SRK and Vijay Sethupathi (who is as brilliant as ever) square off in a scene that caps a magnificent crowd-pleaser that blends some sharp writing and a high level of technical finesse.

<i>Haddi</i> Review: More Bones Than Meat Despite Dazzling Nawazuddin Siddiqui Performance

Haddi Review: More Bones Than Meat Despite Dazzling Nawazuddin Siddiqui Performance

Saibal Chatterjee | Thursday September 07, 2023

Haddi Review: While the film is overwrought, several of the characters are underwritten, none more so than the bad guy. Anurag Kashyap does not play it to the bone.

<i>Kushi</i> Review: Love Story Banks On Vijay Deverakonda's Chemistry With Samantha Ruth Prabhu

Kushi Review: Love Story Banks On Vijay Deverakonda's Chemistry With Samantha Ruth Prabhu

Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday September 02, 2023

Kushi Review: The film's primary theme hinges on a faith versus science debate, a phenomenon that plays spoilsport in the lives of a married couple essayed by Vijay and Samantha.

<i>Friday Night Plan</i> Review: Babil Khan Puts His Best Foot Forward In Light-Hearted Entertainer

Friday Night Plan Review: Babil Khan Puts His Best Foot Forward In Light-Hearted Entertainer

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday September 01, 2023

Friday Night Plan Review: Amrith Jayan as the chirpy younger brother who revels in pushing his luck is no less impressive. In the role of the boys' mother, Juhi Chawla is effortlessly in step with the flow of the not-too-demanding film.

<i>Love-All</i> Review: Kay Kay Menon Delivers A Consciously Low-Voltage Performance

Love-All Review: Kay Kay Menon Delivers A Consciously Low-Voltage Performance

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday September 01, 2023

Love-All Review: Kay Kay Menon in a demonstration of efficacious underplaying, lets badminton take precedence over his role.

<i>Goldfish</i> Review: Delicate Mother-Daughter Drama About Dementia And Scalded Souls

Goldfish Review: Delicate Mother-Daughter Drama About Dementia And Scalded Souls

Saibal Chatterjee | Wednesday August 30, 2023

<i>King Of Kotha</i> Review: Dulquer Salmaan's Stab At Massy Fare Is A King-Size Letdown

King Of Kotha Review: Dulquer Salmaan's Stab At Massy Fare Is A King-Size Letdown

Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday August 26, 2023

King Of Kotha Review: The wheels that the film runs on are rusty and wobbly. Needless to say, Dulquer Salmaan deserved much better.

Dream Girl 2 Review: Ayushmann Khurrana Does What He Can To Salvage A Stale Storyline

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday August 25, 2023

Dream Girl 2 Review: To the credit of Ayushmann Khurrana, he never gives the impression that he is on a sinking ship. He does not hold back one bit even when the writing lets him down.

<i>Asteroid City</i> Review: Playful And Profound, A Wes Anderson Film In Every Respect
