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

Mili (2022) – A Diluted Remake That Does Not Bite Even In The Cold
A part of me wishes I would have loved this as much as others did, but here is my honest opinion about this film. Having watched the original did impact on this. Still, a remake should work on its own to keep the heart of the original story intact and find new avenues to explore … Continue reading Mili (2022) – A Diluted Remake That Does Not Bite Even In The Cold

Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (1994) – Sweet 90s Candy-coloured Love
This is a well done movie. It is also a very comforting movie. It has that charm and a kind of innocence on a small scale that the early 90s Indian romantic movies have before the grandeur of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge hit the following year, and after it Yash Chopra's and Karan Johar's romantic … Continue reading Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (1994) – Sweet 90s Candy-coloured Love
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

Raanjhanaa (2013) – Mad Toxic Love
I will be thanking Atrangi Re (2021) for making me want to watch this movie after a very long time. I had the faint memory of feeling disappointed when I first watched it. This time though, it wasn't the case and I was pleasantly surprised. It even made me cry in the end. Summary: In … Continue reading Raanjhanaa (2013) – Mad Toxic Love
