Oppenheimer Review: A Cinematic Achievement Of Blinding Brilliance

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday July 21, 2023

Oppenheimer Review: Oppenheimer, played with unwavering solidity by Cillian Murphy, is presented as a genius who pays as high a price for his deadly invention as for his subsequent decision to turn into an advocate for nuclear arms control.

Blind Review: An Unimaginative Rehash That Refuses To Think For Itself

Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday July 08, 2023

Blind Review: Sonam Kapoor's comeback vehicle is a huff and puff show. The lead actor exudes a fair degree of enthusiasm as she goes through the motions of playing a doughty, sightless woman battling a dangerous foe.

Neeyat Review: Vidya Balan Makes An Unconventional Crime Investigator

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday July 07, 2023

Neeyat Review: Vidya discards the usual a-woman-who-knows-it-all tropes and uses a low-key, unshowy acting style to convey a range of emotions in a role that allows her to traverse an impressively wide gamut.

The Night Manager 2 Review: Anil Kapoor Continues To Be The Actor Around Whom The Story Revolves

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday June 30, 2023

The Night Manager 2 Review: Aditya Roy Kapur slips into the guise of the inscrutable Shantanu Sengupta, a former Navy man trained to be stoic and unflappable no matter the provocation, and raises his game a few notches.

Written by Saibal Chatterjee | Thursday June 29, 2023
