Continue reading →: Our House (2017) – Sharing Unnatural Space
This was a watch out of curiosity. And I am glad I did. It is a film made by a relatively new director Yui Kiyohara who has only made one other movie in which information, let alone pictures, are hard to come by. Yui Kiyohara studied under horror director Kiyoshi…

Rarely one comes across a true crime documentary that so differs from the usual gritty, scandalous and sensationalised style that has become the norm whenever a case is made for the screen that it takes one by surprise. Usually there is video footage, quick edits, rock music, a voice over…

I haven’t done a review in a while. Been in a kind of a slump, partly because I didn’t want to burn myself out, then there’s the fact that I didn’t know what I should review and then – on a personal matter – a family tragedy happened unexpectedly that…

I think this was the first Indian Art House film that I watched as well as the first time I was introduced to Karisma Kapoor and Rekha as well as another wave of love for A. R. Rahman’s music since he did the soundtrack, which is full of underrated classics.…

Gah! This film got to me! It got me like stab to the heart and straight to the tear ducts at the end. So good, might even be better than the 1957 version. But that’s the magic of this story, it can be done in any age with any kind…

Another Pakistani movie review! YouTube is really my friend when it comes to english subtitled content coming from South Asia. Yes, I know it is another movie about weddings. But weddings are fun! Or are supposed to be anyway and the way South Asian’s do weddings is much more fun…

Continue reading →: Happy Independence Day India and Pakistan!
I know this is a day late for Pakistan’s Independence Day, but one cannot have one without the other in this case. And the British really did dirty on both of them on the way they handled the Partition. A line on a map, a piece of the country divided…

My first Pakistani movie ever!!! I’ve heard and seen good things about the Pakistani movie industry and have wanted to watch a Pakistani film for a long time, but haven’t been able to because of the lack of resources to see the films with english subtitles, not even the TV…

Continue reading →: Badla (2019) – Locked Room Mystery Drama about Reversal and Revenge
This is a good movie! I’ve seen it twice now and it is still entertaining and there is always something to look for in the details. The first time I watched it I was alone, the second time I watched it with my parents and they liked it. And it…

Continue reading →: The Decoy Bride (2011) – Quirky, Cute and Scottish
I saw this movie years ago, because of David Tennant, and now saw it again…because of David Tennant. And it was better than I remembered and very, very cute and quirky in the best of ways that only an indie film can be. Summary: In the remote Scottish island of…
