IFFAM 2019: Comedy Is A Serious Device In Taika Waititi’s Brilliantly Irreverent “J...
By being a conqueror disguised as a clown, Jojo Rabbit becomes a film of our times. Those who choose to be offended by its ‘trivialization’ of Nazi Germany are, in effect, admitting that they are uncomfortable to look in the mirror every morning.

The anthology stops you in your tracks and makes you look around at the little things that matter.

Whether pure genre or a mix, what matters is the writing. And that’s all over the place. The football itself is reduced to a lesser version of the game we saw in the first half…
Pati Patni Aur Woh Bollywood Movie Review By Anupama Chopra
Writer-director Mudassar Aziz attempts to deliver a reboot that is lively, funny and at least superficially, progressive – he doesn’t always succeed
Pati Patni Aur Woh Movie Review: A Movie That Is As Boring As It Is Unnecessary
Kartik Aaryan’s impotent rage in the face of Bhumi Pednekar and Aparkshakti Khurana’ s screen presence finds companionship in Ananya Pandey’s robotic non-presence. What could have been funny falls flat.

The screenplay is essentially a check-list of events that are being ticked off

Asif Ali is Part Ayushmann Khurrana, Part Arjun Reddy In ‘Kettiyolaanu Ente Malak...
This could be a fascinating case study of how “arrogance” on screen (like in ‘Arjun Reddy’) makes it less easy for us to fully embrace a character, while innocence and humility make us sympathise more readily.
Flops Of Glory: Vasanthabalan’s Kaaviya Thalaivan
Kaaviya Thalaivan may not have been ahead of its time or a cult classic, but there was certainly a film in there somewhere that could really have been one for the ages.
A Masterclass With Adoor Gopalakrishnan: Four Films, The Auteur’s Perspectives
