MOVIE REVIEW NEWS

Twisters movie review: While Glen Powell’s unruffled charisma survives this wrecker, the talented Daisy Edgar-Jones is too placid for the gathering storm hinted at in their relationship.

Longlegs movie review: Oz Perkins, also the screenwriter, happens to be the son of Anthony Perkins, he of Psycho fame. And this film, even as it hints at the ties that bind families in love and other things, never leans on it.

Fly Me To The Moon movie review: The film does disservice to Scarlett Johansson, who is lost to layers of caked make-up, and Channing Tatum, who is damped down to mundanity.

Showtime review: Despite the backstabbings, betrayals, backdoor deals, this Emraan Hashmi show fails to grab our attention or interest. The actor, who is capable of stealing many a show, is defeated by the writing.

Indian 2 movie review: Kamal Haasan’s prosthetics are still as annoying, and Indian 2 takes itself and its hero so seriously that you miss the forced humour of the original.

Kakuda movie review: Nothing to report other than just plain disbelief about how films like these not only get made, but also manage to get out, kakuda-like, to plague us.

Sarfira movie review: The film is only interested in fronting its hero. Akshay Kumar, who is in practically every frame of the film, isn't actively terrible, but he doesn't do anything here that he hasn't done before.

Wild Wild Punjab movie review: Varun Sharma, Sunny Singh, Manjot Singh and Jassie Gill film is a series of stereotypes about Punjabi mundas going through heartbreak, awash with fart jokes and bodily fluids.

Despicable Me 4 movie review: The law of diminishing returns caught up with this franchise seven years ago, when the third movie by the same title was released. The question is how much more can you squeeze out?

Beverly Hills Cop - Axel F movie review: Eddie Murphy is prone to phoning it in these days, but the one-time megastar mercifully brings his A-game to the long-awaited fourth instalment of the action-comedy franchise.

A Family Affair movie review: With zero chemistry between them, Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron are reduced to background noise in Netflix's misguided romantic comedy with a major protagonist problem.

Kill movie review: This Nikhil Nagesh Bhat’s fast-and-furious tale is its own creature, which takes care to surround us with familiar elements, even when ratcheting the kill quotient as high as it can go.

Paradise movie review: Sri Lankan director Vithanage has come up with a deftly-plotted-and-executed film, knitting together a political-personal story filled with powerfully-calibrated emotions, well-judged performances, and a stunning, shocking climax.

Sharmajee Ki Beti movie review: Divya Dutta-Sakshi Tanwar-Saiyami Kher's film is feel-good and rooted in the everyday, and its dailiness makes it very ‘gharelu’ and relatable, even when you want it to break out of its flat framing.

Kalki 2898 AD movie review: Kalki may have Prabhas as the headliner, but it is Amitabh Bachchan all the way -- his Ashwatthama is suitably gravelly and towers over the film. Kamal Haasan comes on sparingly but does leave an impact.

Jatt & Juliet 3 movie review: The jodi of Diljit Dosanjh and Neeru Bajwa lock horns once again in the romantic comedy and come up with quite an entertainer.

I Am Celine Dion movie review: Equal parts cruel and contemplative, Prime Video's documentary film makes top use of Celine Dion's deeply expressive face as it details her journey with a rare disease.

Trigger Warning movie review: Jessica Alba jumps onto Netflix's assembly line of action movies to expectedly disappointing results.

Maharaj review: The only one who is completely in sync with the film’s tonality is Jaideep Ahlawat, who has given us a ‘dharm ka thekedar’ to beat all ‘dharm ke thekedars’.

The Bikeriders review: The Bikeriders is like that nice cross-country summer drive, wind in the hair, hands out of the window, but necks craving for a little something round the corner.

Ullozhukku movie review: Christo Tomy's directorial is a captivating drama about the moral dilemma of a wife, played by Parvathy Thiruvothu, right after her husband's death.

The Exorcism movie review: The Russell Crowe-Ryan Simpkins film lurches around, up and down corridors, round corners, in shadows and locked rooms, finally exiting after exhausting the last of our patience.

Ishq Vishk Rebound movie review: Three of the film's four leads, including Rohit Saraf, have proved their mettle before; first-timer Pashmina Roshan (who happens to be Hrithik Roshan’s cousin), is styled in the standard Bollywood starlet way, but does loosen up when given a chance.
