Jalsa Review: Vidya Balan And Shefali Shah Keep The Film On The Boil

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday March 18, 2022

Jalsa Review: Discount the overreach and a flaw here and a blemish there and Jalsa works just fine not only because two wonderful actresses are at their very best.

<i>The Adam Project</i> Review: Time-Travel Movie Is Just The Sort Ryan Reynolds Is Known To Revel In

The Adam Project Review: Time-Travel Movie Is Just The Sort Ryan Reynolds Is Known To Revel In

Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday March 12, 2022

The Adam Project Review: Once he jumps into the fray, it is Mark Ruffalo who takes to the material with unbridled glee and striking ease.

<i>Maaran</i> Review: Dhanush Is Surprisingly Inert In Bland Film

Maaran Review: Dhanush Is Surprisingly Inert In Bland Film

Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday March 12, 2022

Maaran Review: Barring Dhanush and, to an extent Smruthi Venkat, the actors have little to do in film. Malavika Mohanan gets the worst deal.

<i>The Batman</i> Review: Robert Pattinson Works Hard To Lend Batman An Intense, Pensive Quality

The Batman Review: Robert Pattinson Works Hard To Lend Batman An Intense, Pensive Quality

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday March 04, 2022

The Batman Review: Owing to the first-rate cinematography, and for Pattinson's brooding and emotionally bruised superhero, The Batman isn't the drudge it otherwise might have been.

<i>Jhund</i> Review: Amitabh Bachchan Stars In Underdog Sports Movie That Is Way More Than That

Jhund Review: Amitabh Bachchan Stars In Underdog Sports Movie That Is Way More Than That

Written by Saibal Chatterjee | Thursday March 03, 2022

Jhund Review: It upends the Bollywood sports biopic template and uses the game of football and an altered narrative form to craft an incisive and deeply felt commentary on the reality of the systemic oppression.

<i>Valimai</i> Review: Ajith Kumar Vehicle Showcases His Action Movie Credentials

Valimai Review: Ajith Kumar Vehicle Showcases His Action Movie Credentials

Written by Saibal Chatterjee | Friday February 25, 2022

Valimai Review: Ajith Kumar's screen presence rescues many scenes from sinking into insignificance. Valimai is for fans of the star and for those that dig protracted stunt sequences.

<i>Gangubai Kathiawadi</i> Review: Alia Bhatt Puts Doubts To Rest With Marvellously Lively Performance

Gangubai Kathiawadi Review: Alia Bhatt Puts Doubts To Rest With Marvellously Lively Performance

Written by Saibal Chatterjee | Friday February 25, 2022

Gangubai Kathiawadi Review: The visually sumptuous character study, more baroque than 1950s Bombay, is at once sweeping and intimate.

<i>The Fame Game</i> Review: The Incandescence Of Madhuri Dixit - Dive Right In

The Fame Game Review: The Incandescence Of Madhuri Dixit - Dive Right In

Written by Saibal Chatterjee | Friday February 25, 2022

The Fame Game Review: It is hardly surprising that it takes the lead actress little effort to get into the skin of the protagonist. She does so with such dazzling panache that the line separating the character from the performer is frequently breached.

<i>Love Hostel</i> Review: Bobby Deol Renders An Emotionless Killer To Perfection In Courageous Film

Love Hostel Review: Bobby Deol Renders An Emotionless Killer To Perfection In Courageous Film

Written by Saibal Chatterjee | Friday February 25, 2022

Love Hostel Review: Sanya Malhotra portrays her character with spunk and spirit without going overboard. Vikrant Massey projects a version of masculinity that does not shy away from embracing emotional vulnerability.

<i>Bestseller</i> Review: Eight Chapters Of Unmitigated Ennui

Bestseller Review: Eight Chapters Of Unmitigated Ennui

Edited by Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday February 19, 2022

Bestseller Review: The script gives Shruti Haasan a great deal of space to capture a sharp personality shift. Does Mithun Chakraborty succeed in keeping Bestseller on the boil? Not quite.

Death On The Nile Review: Ali Fazal Is Splendid In Well-Acted Puzzle That Is Worth A Watch

Death On The Nile Review: Ali Fazal Is Splendid In Well-Acted Puzzle That Is Worth A Watch

Written by Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday February 12, 2022

Death On The Nile Review: Despite its old-fashioned and predictable trajectory, the film does not lose its grip on the flow of the narrative nor its hold on the audience.

<i>Badhaai Do</i> Review: The Acting By Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar And Ensemble Is Extraordinarily Effective

Badhaai Do Review: The Acting By Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar And Ensemble Is Extraordinarily Effective

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday February 11, 2022

Badhaai Do Review: The film unequivocally champions the cause of individuality and inclusivity while delivering an engaging story that is funny, thought-provoking and intriguingly angular in one fell swoop.

<i>Gehraiyaan</i> Review: The Only Reason To Invest Two And A Half Hours - Deepika Padukone

Gehraiyaan Review: The Only Reason To Invest Two And A Half Hours - Deepika Padukone

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday February 11, 2022

Gehraiyaan Review: The film is about youthful, adventurous love, but it is utterly devoid of humour and zing. When it tries to lighten up, it falls flat.

<i>Mahaan</i> Review: Vikram's Star Turn Has Support From Real-Life Son Dhruv Vikram

Mahaan Review: Vikram's Star Turn Has Support From Real-Life Son Dhruv Vikram

Saibal Chatterjee | Thursday February 10, 2022

Mahaan Review: It makes its share of mistakes and lives to tell the tale because Vikram injects just enough variety into it with a performance that tempers some of the film's excesses.

<i>Looop Lapeta</i> Review: Taapsee Pannu's Performance Holds <i>Run Lola Run</i> Remake Together

Looop Lapeta Review: Taapsee Pannu's Performance Holds Run Lola Run Remake Together

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday February 04, 2022

Looop Lapeta Review: Tahir Raj Bhasin plays second fiddle but never fails to hit the right notes. Looop Lapeta is also enlivened by the supporting acts, especially by Manik Papneja and Raghav Raj Kakker.
