When you have films like the ‘Munnabhai’ series, ‘3 Idiots’ and ‘PK’ to your filmography, there’s by default a boost in expectations because of the people. Rajkumar […] More
Remo D’Souza recently revealed how he got the script of this film a month before the shoot was scheduled to begin. The hurriedness is visible from the first frame and it’s there throughout. At times, one feels this is a spoof designed by Indian social media giants like AIB or TVF on the ‘Race’ franchise. […] More
In an interview with a leading portal last year before the release of ‘Tubelight’, Salman Khan said, “My films are critic-proof. I am telling them now: go give my film minus 100 stars, why just zero. Let’s see how that pans out. My fans will anyway watch my films and that’s my reward. It only […] More
‘Veere Di Wedding’ was promoted as #IAmNotAChickFlick and the claim was true. This movie is not a chick flick but it’s about the issues revolving around the life of a normal girl in this country. Taking the bond of immortal friendships, the director binds these problems, backed up with a weak story. ‘Veere Di Wedding’ […] More
‘Parmanu – The Story Of Pokhran’ is based on the nuclear test conducted in Pokhran (1998). The true incident mostly keeps the audience’s interest alive throughout the film.

Last year, we saw Rana Daggubati’s ‘The Ghazi Attack’ and ‘Raazi’ is its prequel. We saw the entire proceedings of the submarine attack in the former but the latter explores that one decision that made India win the 1971 war changing the history. This brings Harinder Sikka’s vision to celluloid, as his book ‘Calling Sehmat’ […] More
‘102 Not Out’ has a subject which plays between the fine line of being caricaturish and/or preachy. Umesh Shukla, who has given us a gem in ‘OMG! Oh My God’ is back with another play adaptation but with an altogether different subject. Half the battle is won by bringing in legends like Amitabh Bachchan and […] More

Varun Dhawan, the hit machine of Bollywood, with 9 back to back hits since his debut in ‘Student Of The Year’, is the only actor to hold this record. Coming after the magnanimous ‘Judwaa 2’s success to a movie like ‘October’ is a big gamble in itself. Directed by Shoojit Sircar, written by Juhi Chaturvedi, […] More
‘Blackmail’, apart from riding high on the shoulders of Irrfan Khan, also has been hot among the audience because of Abhinay Deo’s (director of ‘Delhi Belly’) name attached to it.
