#PatiPatniAurWohDo #Review

Just because we have seen worse, doesn’t make a borderline slapstick attempt at rom-com entertaining. Yes, despite its whacky, hilarious premise.

#BhoothBangla #Review

In which Akshay Kumar competes with himself to yell his lines louder than he did in the previous scene. Yes, that's the only takeaway.

@ltejas I remember it as "not bad". Will give it another listen, now that you mention.

(Sorry for the much delayed response. 🙈)

#DhurandharTheRevenge #Review
What I disliked in Dhurandhar, I disliked even more in this one. None of what I liked is carried forward here. The propaganda that was subtle and annoying, is now blatant and amusing https://t.co/LOPpWdC2zB

#Assi #Review

The tone is one of frustration, not preachiness. It is not, "We know better than you." It is, "How have we collectively reached here?" This philosophical take alone makes Assi a meaningful experience. And there's a lot more.

#ORomeo #Review

Constantly tries too hard to be cool, clever, and pulpy making the 3-hour run tiresome.

#Mardaani3 #Review

An intense issue. A gripping telling. A tad dramatized. A slump in the climax. But a worthy watch, even if on OTT.

#Border2 #Review
What you expect is what you get in Border 2. Border (1) again. The warfare seems unending, just like the film. The same laboured lines with forced energy and brief, cursory, and measured attempts at balance.

#MovieName #Review

A Hindi war film that points to the futility of war and doesn’t spend all its time glamorising it is a win, even if this one isn’t among the best war films out there.

#Dhurandhar #Review

Carries a disconcerting undercurrent of provocation, propaganda and victimhood, even though it is a well-made film that engages through its 3.5-hour-long runtime.

2/2

[wogma @wogma]

#DeDePyaarDe2

An unexpectedly mature take on a difficult dilemma faced by parents. It'd have been nice, though, if the makers were as secure about their story as its protagonist is about himself. Yes, the silly humour is arguably unnecessary.

#Thamma #Review

No effort to create anything of substance. Some attempt at world-building. But why would a hollow universe interest anyone?

#SunnySanskariKiTulsiKumari #SSKTK #Review

Love is fickle—that's my takeaway from this boring romance. The only highlights are some song and dance sequences.

#Homebound #Review

Touches you because it's intentionally unsettling. A no-frills look at society, with simple-AND-powerful storytelling and grounded, heartfelt performances.

#JollyLLB3 #Review
A must-have living room conversation plays out as a predictable yet meaningful courtroom drama. Strongest in the series so far, but still dragged out by unnecessary, slapstick flab.

#Baaghi4 #Review

It's so bloated that every thump in the music, each fight sequence, nearly every song, every attempt at comic relief seems like a huge, stinky burp.

#ParamSundari #Review

Using 2020s' slang can't disguise the simplistic girl-meets-boy plot. Dropping SRK and Sri Devi references only highlight the age-old "What if?" Even these icons knew they had to reimagine the genre.

#War2 #Review

Reasonably decent conceptualisation of fight sequences with tacky execution. The rest—patriotism, plot, etc—is anyway only padding around the cool-on-paper action.

#MetroInDino #Review

What a quick dive this one took from being chique and warm to annoying and infuriating! Just like the relationships it uses to give you the "boys will be boys" vibe.
