It has been ages since I’ve seen this film, and I really enjoyed it, even though it is very on the nose. Some things left a lot to be desired, but I still really liked this film, with these women’s lives playing out as tragedies with fleeting comedy and lightness…

I have been reluctant to see this film for the longest time, maybe because I have had a fear it might punch me in the gut with emotions, and boy was I right. I know Pride Month 2026 is now happening, and there are many happy, bittersweet Queer films there…

A film I have wanted to watch for a long time, and finally did. Mostly to see what the hullabaloo was all about with the scandalous scenes, as well as this being the final film from its director. Spoilers for the film below! Narendra “Naren” Sahay is the son of…

It is a bad thing that I had not seen this film before, because it is such a good one! Honestly, it might not be the most glamorous or the most escapist or stylish, but it has such a good heart which made me smile at the end! Spoilers for…
