Mera Naam Shaji Movie Review: A Dead-on-arrival Comedy That’s As Funny As Watching Pa...

  • Posted on April 6, 2019May 15, 2020
  • by Vishal Menon
The film’s emotional core is about Shaji George and how he reunites with his ex-lover, but we never care for them. One song; that’s all we get to understand that these two were once madly in love

  • Posted on March 29, 2019May 8, 2020
  • by Rahul Desai

F*ck Buddies Review: A Lazily Written Anti-Romance That Tries Too Hard To Be Hip And Cool

  • Posted on March 26, 2019May 6, 2020
  • by Vishal Menon
F*ck Buddies is a show so excited to be able to use the F word (and its many iterations) that it forgets that those words have to also make sense

  • Posted on March 15, 2019May 8, 2020
  • by Rahul Desai
The film is a choppy all-in-one fare with a distinct lack of soul, not to mention the shameless product placement, pointless side characters and noisy songs

Ispade Rajavum Idhaya Raniyum Movie Review: A Misconceived Romance That Tries To Be So ...

  • Posted on March 15, 2019May 6, 2020
  • by Baradwaj Rangan
There’s no inner life. There’s no truth. Everything feels fake in this stab at a jagged, modern-day romance

The film thinks it can do justice to a plot where the hero falls for a transwoman

  • Posted on March 1, 2019May 6, 2020
  • by Baradwaj Rangan
Even if you are one of those who wants messages from movies, you’ll have to agree that they have to be tucked away elegantly and not thrust in your face

The Final Call Review: The Sky Is Too High For This Poorly Conceived Airplane Thriller

  • Posted on February 27, 2019May 20, 2020
  • by Rahul Desai
The physicality of this show is so half-assed, and the writing so juvenile, that I was almost pleasantly surprised to not hear any of the passengers refer to the pilot as the “driver”
