After making you uncomfortable, the series ends abruptly, leaving you with a bitter aftertaste of a self-absorbed world that is too eager to move on, notes Divya Nair.
Jawan springs a real surprise when it boldly and directly points fingers at the ineffective government and appeals to recognise the power of the finger and vote. Six months before the next general Indian election, this is no coincidence, observes Sukanya Verma.
There's nothing in Chatrapathi that you haven't already seen before, complains Mayur Sanap.
One-time watch for all those wear their patriotism up their sleeve, don't bother about checking the facts, and want to enjoy a dramatic mix of fact and fiction, notes Prasanna D Zore.
Citadel proves unworthy of Priyanka's splendour, Madden's intensity or veteran talents like Lesley Manville and Stanley Tucci squandered in banal parts, complains Sukanya Verma.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is not romcom material, notes Deepa Gahlot.
Varun Dhawan finds a sweet spot between an Ayushmann Khurrana role-meets-a Salman Khan role and makes it his own, notes Sukanya Verma.
Delving into deeper topics, fleshing out a timely satire, rooting for womanhood while being full of beans, dance, music, charm and comedy, Greta Gerwig's creativity knows no bounds, raves Sukanya Verma.
In Khufiya, a mother's journey, a lover's vendetta and a country's mission, skewed patriotism and moral disengagement coalesce and highlight the nature of the spying business, notes Sukanya Verma.
By the time, Mumbaikar gets to where it wants to be via a twisty third act, we begin to see how much better the film could have been. But it's almost too little, too late, complains Mayur Sanap.
An amateurish crime comedy that wants to be taken seriously, Mrs Undercover can never quite find its bearings, observes Sukanya Verma.
As happy as one is to cheer for her global star status, I wish PC's choice of projects was more topical than stale formula, sighs Sukanya Verma.
DC is keen on rebooting its superhero universe, and by all means, The Flash is a decent step in that direction, notes Mayur Sanap.
This is the kind of essential saas-bahu banter we don't mind tolerating on our screens, Divya Nair tells us.
Jee Karda is a dish with a lot of garnish, but no flavour, observes Deepa Gahlot.
Few actors share Kareena's fearlessness for closeups in their 40s. A still force in a high-strung thriller, her marvellously opaque portrayal of a woman hiding skeletons in her closet turns a crafty police procedural into a wistful story of survival, observes Sukanya Verma.
Ghoomer is an efficient crowd-pleaser that puts a lump in the throat, a tear in the eyes, and a smile on the face, all at the same time, applauds Mayur Sanap.
From an observation of middle class insecurities and parents burdening their children with their dreams, the film becomes an underdog story, notes Deepa Gahlot.
Any aware viewer, who might wander into the film, will be repulsed by this unabashed spewing of communal hatred, feels Deepa Gahlot.
If there is one lesson we get from Depp vs Heard, it is that the American legal system is deeply flawed and the court of public opinion and social media make it harder for victims to get justice, observes Aseem Chhabra.
The fatal flaw of Fast X is that it's trying to be smarter than it really is and the result is a convoluted mess with nothing novel at display.
'Be it Khan highlighting the issues with a rigged system, or schooling accountability from the government, or stressing the power of the vote, or that baap/beta line -- this is a kind of swashbuckling that Hindi film audiences haven't seen from their heroes for many years,' notes Mayur Sanap.
The treatment of the crime and criminal may seem predictable, but not quite the way you'd imagined it to be, discovers Divya Nair.
With its slick cinematography and breathless pace, Bloody Daddy is not really made for OTT, but that's where it ends up, notes Deepa Gahlot.
Music School tries hard to make a case -- like 3 Idiots and Taare Zameen Par before -- to let children follow their artistic passions and not try to fit them into pre-set moulds, to which people might nod their heads in agreement before packing their children off to coaching class, notes Deepa Gahlot.
With a solid Vijay Varma at its centre, Kaalkoot is a riveting watch, raves Mayur Sanap.
The first episode of Hansika Motwani's wedding reality show has enough drama to make it a decent watch, believes Namrata Thakker.
What goes in favour of Asur 2 is its pace and novelty, even though the approach has all the hokiness of a comic book, observes Deepa Gahlot.
Detective shows like CID did a better job than Gumraah of creating thrilling cases, observes Deepa Gahlot.
Afwaah is a sum of Sudhir Mishra's thought-provoking reflections and appeal to question what's real, what's rumour, notes Sukanya Verma.
Neeyat is not only sluggish, it also creates zero interest in the characters. It could, perhaps, be watched on OTT, where it is inevitably headed, feels Deepa Gahlot.
Yeh Meri Family is rescued by the actors. All of them have delivered on the warmth and crankiness of a close-knit family without putting on any hum saath saath hain fakery, observes Deepa Gahlot.
The Song Of Scorpions is a reminder, if one were needed, that Irrfan was not just a star actor but a true artiste, observes Deepa Gahlot.
A movie like Bad Boy being made in 2023 would have been just as unwatchable no matter who made it. That Rajkumar Santoshi has, is almost heart-breaking, sighs Deepa Gahlot.
Alaya F actually holds the film together, pulling out the right emotions required, and not letting the slightest scepticism leak out of those large, expressive eyes, observes Deepa Gahlot.
I don't remember Rajinikanth beheading anyone so brutally in any of his previous films. Or glamourising so much of blood and violence. This is an altogether different version of a brutal Ra1jinikanth, something you and I had probably never imagined before, observes Divya Nair.
Clubbing in multiple weddings in one go dilutes some of the conversation. Conflicts are resolved too neatly and grey areas of complicated equations are left on a note of ambiguity, observes Sukanya Verma after watching the second season of Made in Heaven.
Kathal has a fairly kooky premise, one that would fill up a half an hour sitcom in a bundle of studio laughs. But when stretched into a feature film, its whimsy slumps into awkward energy, observes Sukanya Verma.
An earnest attempt at uncovering the truth behind the match-fixing saga, but fails to highlight any new information.
Blind is a film you are better off not watching, warns Mayur Sanap.
