Full disclosure, I haven’t seen the first film, Good Newwz (2018). So I am going into this movie without seeing it, but if reading Wikipedia is OK, then it seems I don’t have to. Summary: Ananya Pandey wants to know the life story Saloni Bagga, since she is going to…

Well, there is this film that did as expected of Hindi remakes of original films (at least most of the time), and it did not even touch upon the important topics it should have. Summary: In Udaipur, a lower-caste Madhukar “Madhu” Bhagla is in love with higher-caste Parthavi Singh Rathore.…

This film took a few tries for me to get into, most will be explained later, but it took a few tries. If you understand cricket you will most likely get more out of this film than me who does not understand it except at a Lagaan (2001) level. Summary:…

It took me a while to see this movie, as well as a couple of tries. Not because it was bad or I didn’t like what I was seeing, but I just didn’t feel ready since it handles so many topics all at once. I finally was able to see…
