A ballsy attempt at the dirty dark! Kanu’s Titli is an insane scrutiny into the head of a protagonist born in shambles. Surrounded by a filthy immoral environment that has affected his upbringing, Titli is a complex character breathing in a rotting muck with a dream. The direction of Titli is one of the finest …
A light popcorn entertainer! Goosebumps fails to give you what its name promises. Or wait….maybe it didn’t promise anything in the first place. More of a tribute to R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps series. The movie is a very light comedy which banks on its sheer adventurous story to work. It does work though but not exactly …
A great story that gets lost in its crimson muck. Crimson Peak fails to cash in on its stellar cast. We have Hiddleston, Chastain, Wasikowska, and Del Toro’s golden goose Hunnam, doing the honours through their brilliant acting. We have got the horror pro Toro in the vanguard running the reels. Still, what goes wrong? Twenty minutes …
Brige of Spies is an exquisite political biopic! Steven Spielberg comes up with a biography of a guy caught up in the jaws of political torture as he endeavours to negotiate the rescuing of two people in a cold war struck world. However, the movie isn’t limited to that. There are melodramatic bits strewn all …
What a lovely movie! The Walk is an exhilarating joyride. Being one of the biggest fans of RegularJoe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), I always walk in to watch his movies with high expectations and boy, he never fails to deliver.

Sicario is a thrilling ride into the US-Mexican ongoing drug war, where the story takes you into the deep waters of perversion, vengeance, and corruption. Mexico reeks of death. The drug has polluted its air. “It is a land of wolves now.” The aforementioned escapes the roaring gasps of Alejandro Gillick (Benicio Del Toro) as …
The Martian is an orgasmic dig into science, unknown territories, top-notch optimism and undying hope. As the beginning frames of The Martian survival painted the screen with a silent promise of grandeur, the first quotient that riveted me instantly was ‘Hope’. Mark Watney’s undying attitude towards life was really something. His optimistic nature towards survival …
Nancy Meyers has a knack for making ‘pleasant and delightful’ movies. The Intern is no different. The flick is upbeat. Almost like a fairyland, where good things keep happening, and everything is quite refined and elegant. Anne Hathway is brilliant as Jules. With the backdrop plot of a girl doing really well with her startup, …
Maze Runner The Scorch Trials is surprisingly good. When I had watched the first installment and read about how James Dashner had dreamt about The Maze Runner, I could instantly relate to him. It occurred to me how the universe wanted him to mould a situation into a story. He spun a great tale, which …
Pawn Sacrifice is a superlative Chess movie. Edward Zwick is probably one of the most underrated directors. Critics mostly shrug his work with a meh. But to me he makes a home run with every release. His direction is of the finest kinds, extremely riveting, never lets you lose focus. He always comes with a …
