Laxmii Movie Review: A Dreadful Dud, Starring A Hammy Akshay Kumar

Saibal Chatterjee | Tuesday November 10, 2020

Laxmii Movie Review: The acting is pedestrian but why fault the actors? They are as helpless as the audience, trapped in a bizarre storyline overrun by excess.

Kaali Khuhi Review: On The Watchability Meter, It Just About Passes Muster

Written by Saibal Chatterjee | Friday October 30, 2020

Kaali Khuhi Review: Shabana Azmi leads the cast with a customary air of authority. The support she receives from Leela Samson, Sanjeeda Sheikh and Riva Arorais laudably steady.

<I>Taish</i> Review: Far From Perfect But Thrills And Engages In Equal Measure

Taish Review: Far From Perfect But Thrills And Engages In Equal Measure

Saibal Chatterjee | Thursday October 29, 2020

Taish Review: The script gives Harshvardhan Rane, Jim Sarbh and Pulkit Samrat equal weightage but none is reduced to a flat character type - they etch out deeply flawed men.

Written by Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday October 24, 2020

Mirzapur Season 2 Review: Neither Ali Fazal nor Pankaj Tripathi puts a foot wrong. Divyenndu plays the headstrong Munna with even greater aplomb than before.

Putham Pudhu Kaalai Review: Amazon Prime's Tamil Anthology Is Easy On The Mind And Eye

Written by Saibal Chatterjee | Friday October 16, 2020

Putham Pudhu Kaalai Review: These short films are about miracles, second chances and happy endings. The reality of the world outside impinges upon them only tangentially.

<i>The Trial Of The Chicago 7 </i>Review: A Triumph From Start To Finish

The Trial Of The Chicago 7 Review: A Triumph From Start To Finish

Saibal Chatterjee | Thursday October 15, 2020

The Trial Of The Chicago 7 Review: Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Sacha Baron Cohen, Eddie Redmayne, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Mark Rylance and Frank Langella deliver electrifying performances.

Ginny Weds Sunny Review: Yami Gautam And Vikrant Massey Make A Great Screen Pair

Written by Saibal Chatterjee | Friday October 09, 2020

Ginny Weds Sunny Review: That it isn't the sort of entertainer that will sweep you off your feet does not undermine its ability to keep you interested in the fate of the two protagonists until the very end.

High Review: Consistently Watchable With Solid Performances By Akshay Oberoi And Ranvir Shorey

Saibal Chatterjee | Wednesday October 07, 2020

High Review: Helmed by Nikhil Rao and co-written by him with Emil Thomas and Nishant Goyal, the series is a strikingly fresh take on opposed facets of a raging drug war.

<I>Khaali Peeli</i> Movie Review:  Ananya Panday, Ishaan Khatter's Film Is A Soggy Affair

Khaali Peeli Movie Review: Ananya Panday, Ishaan Khatter's Film Is A Soggy Affair

Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday October 03, 2020

Khaali Peeli Movie Review: With inanity snuffing out the effervescence Ishaan Khatter and Ananya Panday bring to the concoction, the final reading on the meter is ZERO.

Serious Men Review: Nawazuddin Siddiqui Holds The Fort As Only He Can

Saibal Chatterjee | Tuesday September 29, 2020

Serious Men Review: Sudhir Mishra's first-ever adaptation of a published book is no mean cinematic achievement - it is at once funny, sardonic, bitter, insightful and pugnacious.

<I>Utopia</i> Review: A Timely Thriller Set In Pandemic-Hit Rabbit Hole

Utopia Review: A Timely Thriller Set In Pandemic-Hit Rabbit Hole

Saibal Chatterjee | Thursday September 24, 2020

Utopia Review: The shoot ended well before COVID-19 struck. But the crippling paranoia its twisted, bustling narrative projects taps into our collective fears aggravated by bumbling governments.

<i>Dolly Kitty Aur Chamakte Sitare</i> Review: Konkona Sen Sharma, Bhumi Pednekar Lend Edge To Feminist Drama

Dolly Kitty Aur Chamakte Sitare Review: Konkona Sen Sharma, Bhumi Pednekar Lend Edge To Feminist Drama

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday September 18, 2020

Dolly Kitty Aur Chamakte Sitare Review: The Netflix film chooses too many cards to put on the table. We would have loved to see Dolly and Kitty's stars shine bright and steady - they merely flicker.
