Netflix’s Spiderhead could have been the new Black Mirror. But plot, characters let it down

Nidhima Taneja -
Joseph Kosinski's sci-fi film is no Top Gun—in a hurry to say everything, it says nothing at all. But Miles Teller and Chris Hemsworth shine.

Tiger Shroff’s Heropanti 2 is enjoyable during the climax, when you know it’s about to end

Shubhangi Misra -
Nobody is taking their brains to the hall to watch Tiger Shroff, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Tara Sutaria's Heropanti 2, but there's a limit to how much you can endure.

Shahid Kapoor’s ‘Jersey’ asks if age defines cricketers. The film is almost a sixer

Tina Das -
Jersey explores the idea of what makes a good father and how one is willing to go, while cricket acts as the conduit to move the story forward.

Hurdang creates the world of Mandal student politics but not a convincing one

Unnati Sharma -
The film tries to look at the Mandal Commission and caste-based reservation through an upper-caste lens, but offers lazy arguments.

Drive My Car isn’t the Murakami adaptation you think it is. Its magic lies in another story

Srinjoy Dey -
Drive My Car isn’t the first Murakami film adaptation, and it won’t be the last. But you should catch the movie on Mubi.

Attack is Bollywood’s PubG-style sci-fi film. But there are only 2 reasons to watch it

Tina Das -
The film, based on DRDO's exoskeleton programme, turns John Abraham into a ‘Winter Soldier’ of sorts. It's a healthy dose of deshbhakti minus jingoism.

Baghjan Reels — a stirring documentary on the victims of India’s longest oil well fire

Tina Das -
The oil leak in Assam's Baghjan didn't capture media attention as the Vizag incident. But the 34-minute-long documentary is a grave reminder of its cost.

Raat Akeli Hai review: Netflix’s Nawazuddin-Radhika Apte thriller checks all the right boxes

Fiza Jha -
Honey Trehan's crime drama explores greed, corruption and the nexus between the police and the state. With an ensemble cast that delivers, this film would have dazzled on the big screen.

Shakuntala Devi review — an unlikeable heroine portrayed brilliantly but with too much drama

Samira Sood -
Based on the life of mathematician Shakuntala Devi, Amazon Prime Video’s new movie starring Vidya Balan has some great moments, but they don’t come together.

Dil Bechara review: Sushant Singh Rajput’s last outing is touching, but needed better writing

Madhavi Pothukuchi -
'Dil Bechara' has good performances by Sushant Singh Rajput and Sanjana Sanghi, but that doesn't save the film from its scant screenplay.

There is an overall sense of ennui with the cynical, established and entrenched parties and politicking in the state.

Denmark tweaks its banned exports list, delivery of critical system for Tejas MK 1A starts

HAL has produced 10 Tejas Mk 1A and is now awaiting further deliveries of engines from American firm GE—delayed by two and half years, so far.

Punjab is fast becoming the new Northeast. And there’s a message in it for Modi

Shekhar Gupta -
In its toughest time in decades because of floods, Punjab would’ve expected PM Modi to visit. If he has the time for a Bihar tour, why not a short visit to next-door Punjab?
