Bhonsle review: Manoj Bajpayee will win your heart in this film about hate, fear & kindness

Madhavi Pothukuchi -
Out on SonyLIV, Bhonsle is a striking film about the effect of learned hatred & how a little kindness & bravery is all we need to counter it.

Directed by Anvita Dutt, the movie is a feminist take on childhood stories that combines horror, period drama & social commentary.

Penguin review: Watch it for Keerthy Suresh and beautifully shot scenes of horror

Madhavi Pothukuchi -
Director-writer Eashvar Karthic delivers a well-crafted story that plays on every parent’s fear but overdoes it on the macabre.

Gulabo Sitabo review: Amitabh Bachchan & Ayushmann Khurrana deliver a quirky, passable tale

Madhavi Pothukuchi -
Shoojit Sircar’s film, out on Amazon Prime Video, is amusing and well shot, but a slow pace and stretched-out writing threaten to bore.

Madhavi Pothukuchi -
While the female character is, surprisingly, strong and watchable, she gets little screen time in this celebration of the modern male ego.

Saand Ki Aankh review: The Taapsee Pannu and Bhumi Pednekar film largely hits the mark

Samira Sood -
Despite a schmaltzy and overlong second half, Saand Ki Aankh — the film about UP's famous Shooter Dadis — is an absolute delight.

Laal Kaptaan review: Gorgeous cinematography & an ambitious idea can’t save this Saif film

Samira Sood -
Overlong and unnecessarily longwinded, epic period Western-style action drama Laal Kaptaan is a beautiful bore.

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?
