Made In China review: Rajkummar Rao-starrer could use dose of its own medicine for a boost

Madhavi Pothukuchi -
Good performances cannot save this predictable storyline from being an underwhelming experience.

Sunny Deol’s Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas sets a new bar — for how bad Bollywood can get

Madhavi Pothukuchi -
The film is downright bizarre with bad acting by the lead pair, unimpressive music and staccato storyline.

Ayushmann Khurrana’s Dream Girl starts with hilarity and ends in disappointment

Madhavi Pothukuchi -
Hilarious and witty to begin with, this comedy loses track in the second half and leaves you wishing for better writing.

Chhichhore tackles a difficult issue with simplistic solutions but plenty of charm

Samira Sood -
Using flashbacks and nostalgia, 'Dangal' director Nitesh Tiwari makes a vital point about the pressure to not even say the word ‘fail’.

Prabhas-starrer Saaho a big-budget mess with no plot, bad acting & special effects overdose

Madhavi Pothukuchi -
With excessive and repetitive special effects than all of Avatar, Saaho starring Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor is a must-miss.

Looking for John Abraham’s Batla House? Take a left onto snoozeville

Madhavi Pothukuchi -
Nikkhil Advani’s film Batla House manages to hit the politically correct notes but fails at making an entertaining movie.

Mission Mangal launches well but goes out of orbit

Samira Sood -
The feel-good underdog tale will suit Independence Day audiences looking for patriotic josh, but crowd-pleasing tactics & lack of subtlety derail this mission.

Jabariya Jodi is just that — forced and confusing, with zero chemistry

Madhavi Pothukuchi -
Parineeti Chopra and Sidharth Malhotra film Jabariya Jodi tops the list of abysmal movies released so far in 2019.

Uttam Kumar’s Saptapadi is the 1960s’ inter-faith love story that rings true even today

Madhavi Pothukuchi -
Saptapadi’s famous, moving Othello scene, which was directed separately by Utpal Dutt, deserves special praise.

Kangana’s Judgementall Hai Kya is the mental health thriller you were waiting for

Madhavi Pothukuchi -
Dark, funny, and full of suspense, Kangana Ranaut and Rajkummar Rao-starrer film gets the subject right — for most part.

China builds road through Shaksgam Valley, India registers protest

Snehesh Alex Philip -
New Delhi has, in past, too, objected to Chinese construction activities in Shaksgam Valley. Work in this strategic region gathered pace after the 2017 Doklam stand-off.

National Interest

Frontrunner is letting the challenger define this poll campaign. Modi still hasn’t found a big theme

Shekhar Gupta -
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
