Cargo Review: Vikrant Massey, Shweta Tripathi Lead Phenomenally Innovative Sci-Fi Hybrid

Saibal Chatterjee | Thursday September 10, 2020

Cargo Review: Vikrant Massey and Shweta Tripathi etch out characters that are tangible and emotionally engaging. Director Arati Kadav keeps her feet on the ground as she lets her mind fly free. A real gem

Meel Patthar Review: This sublimely multi-layered film embraces the personal struggles of its characters with as much passion as it portrays the manifestations of the social inequities that are an intrinsic part of their existence.

C U Soon Movie Review: Roshan Mathew doesn't miss a beat as he goes from being a smitten young man to becoming a victim of circumstances. Darshana Rajendran delivers a moving portrayal of a girl of many shades.

Sadak 2 Movie Review: Sanjay Dutt, Alia Bhatt's Film Is A Ride Best Avoided

Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday August 29, 2020

Sadak 2 Movie Review: Sanjay Dutt is as as sprightly as a world-weary lumberjack; Alia Bhatt wears a lost-in-the-woods look; Aditya Roy Kapur settles for a let's-get-the-hell-outta-here expression. Take the hint.

Aashram Review: With Bobby Deol's Solid Presence, Prakash Jha's Digital Debut Is Nothing If Not Bingeworthy

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday August 28, 2020

Aashram Review: You know you are in Prakash Jha territory when politics, policing, encroachment of forest land, reservation, the caste system are repeatedly invoked. In Aashram, he adds religion.

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday August 28, 2020

Ramsingh Charlie Review: Kumud Mishra has the entire film to himself. His delicate methods are matched to perfection by Divya Dutta as his wife and fellow-performer.

Flesh Review: Swara Bhasker Keeps The Frequently Skin-Deep Show On The Boil

Written by Saibal Chatterjee | Friday August 21, 2020

Flesh Review: Swara Bhasker pulls off the upright cop act with effort to spare. Akshay Oberoi conveys the degree of menace required to put the fear of evil in the hearts of the ordinary mortals around him.

Class Of '83 Movie Review: Bobby Deol Springs A Surprise But Netflix Film Is A Mixed Bag

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday August 21, 2020

Class Of '83 Movie Review: Despite Bobby Deol's unfussy impersonation of a stolid, righteous policeman, the film is more tattle than tension, more acrimony than action.

Review: Abhay 2 Is Bingeworthy, Elevated By Kunal Kemmu's Star Turn

NDTV Movies Newsdesk | Saturday August 15, 2020

Every episode kicks off with a gut-churning crime and ends with a surprising turn that sends audience curiosity soaring. The shock value of these sequences is high, but none sticks out like a dismembered limb.

Khuda Haafiz Movie Review: Vidyut Jammwal Slows Down To Match The Drift Of This Thriller

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday August 14, 2020

Khuda Haafiz Movie Review: Vidyut Jammwal isn't his usual electrifying self. The film has no scope for the dazzling stunts that he has built his career around. You can sense he is making an effort to hold on to the sedate body language the role calls for but, to his credit, he does not let that struggle undermine the performance.
