Writing this Kaagaz Ke Phool movie review while still feeling absolutely devastated by the film. As my teacher once said, Guru Dutt was a true “depressionist.” She told me that Guru Dutt, who was her father’s classmate, would always turn up with gloomy poetry—even when the assignment was to write a happy poem. I realised something similar …
With the advent of the monsoon here in Vadodara, as I sit here shedding dead skin from my fingers after watching Spider-Man: Brand New Day in the theatres, it’s finally time to write my Spider-Man: Brand New Day Review. The child in me is still convinced that I might have a chance to become Spider-Man at any moment now. A …
This The Odyssey 2026 review looks at another extraordinary feat in cinema from none other than the legendary director Christopher Nolan. Does he do Homer’s epic justice? Absolutely. He does change a few things hither and thither, but that’s how film adaptations have always worked, offering different interpretations of the original work. The Odyssey manages to …
Sinners is layered with metaphors, making it a rich subject for movie analysis. This is immediately observed with the introduction of vampires, the long-standing clash of cultures, and the way Blues is slaughtered. It is hard not to notice all that when the movie tries to play out as a vampire slasher on the surface, …
The legendary director Guillermo del Toro presents another masterpiece, this time adapting one straight from the pages of the greatest literary work ever written by a person: Mary Shelley. The topic, already colossal, features characters demanding only the best cast and performances. Del Toro leaves no stone unturned in making it a success. The most …
I had always wanted to watch Anamika because of the songs I had heard from this movie. Not only am I a big fan of Kishore Kumar, but also of Lata Mangeshkar. I remembered both ‘Meri Bheegi Bheegi Si’ and ‘Bahon mein chale aao’ and would often sing them, both phenomenal, timeless pieces that will …
One Battle After Another carries all the elements a good movie should have: action, comedy, phenomenal performances and nail-biting drama that keeps you on the edge of your seats. Paul Thomas Anderson‘s creation is a smartly written satire that is topical to today’s world. It ridicules the U.S. government and its constant repugnance toward people …
What a beautiful, timeless piece! Masoom plays on all the chords of human relationships, tugging not only at the innocence of a child on which the title is based, but also striking a chord with every character affected by that very innocence. It absolutely pulverises a father’s heart and plucks at the strings of a stepmother’s. Masoom has …
How many times have we seen the same old story repeat in every superhero universe? Well, Thunderbolts starts with something refreshingly different. Not only does it experiment boldly with the way it builds its villain, but it also takes you to a very different world, essentially inside your head. It allows its characters to meet themselves and …
Politics aside, early hate aside, casting drama aside, this Superman 2025 review is as unbiased as it gets. I’m not a James Gunn fanboy, even though I am well aware of his contributions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I have thoroughly enjoyed his Guardians of the Galaxy movies for their fun tone and clever storytelling. When the news hit …
