Ok, first off, I have to say that this a gritty, action-packed film in the best way. Sexy, raw, high-voltage and brutal in an entertaining way. Also. DO NOT LEAVE EARLY! Stay through 'Jhoome Jo Pathaan' at the end to see an end credits scene. This is merely the beginning of something great, so best … Continue reading Pathaan (2023) – Powerful Action-Packed Portrait of King Khan

Raavanan (2010) – Falling Into Shades of Gray
This is a film I have rewatched more times than I can count. I even have the Tamil DVD of it, which I hold onto dearly.

Gehraiyaan (2022) – Cycle of Waves and Trauma
First off, this is not a story about Heroines or Heroes in the traditional sense of Good and Evil. This is a story with complicated people, flawed people, but who still deserve understanding and empathy. It is a cocktail of both growing anxiety, lies and mesmerising relationships. It may start out as a romance, but … Continue reading Gehraiyaan (2022) – Cycle of Waves and Trauma
Hasee Toh Phasee (2014) – Imperfection is Perfection for Somebody
This a comfort movie for many people, including me. Sure, if you think logically it will make you angry - with an illogical plot involving China and highly incorrect medical issues. But the emotion is still true and delicate in what it deals with. In truth, if it wasn't for those two issues within the … Continue reading Hasee Toh Phasee (2014) – Imperfection is Perfection for Somebody

Minsara Kanavu (1997) – A Simple Story of Desire and Devotion
This is just such a simple romance in the best way. There are no Villains, only people with different desires, with the common decency of selflessness. It's people trying to out-selfless each other in their different ways, from the spiritual to the physical acts. Also, very refreshing with the very Christian setting. Kajol is full … Continue reading Minsara Kanavu (1997) – A Simple Story of Desire and Devotion
Dia (2020) – It’s the Little Things that Matter
This is the first Kannada film I have ever watched. It is an industry that seems rarely to get any attention, with the Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi industries getting most of it. I heard good things about it. The film is a bit slow-paced, so might not be for everyone, but the characters keep … Continue reading Dia (2020) – It’s the Little Things that Matter
