Tiku Weds Sheru Review: Well-Intentioned But Sputtering Black Comedy

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday June 23, 2023

Tiku Weds Sheru Review: Nawazuddin Siddiqui possesses exceptional comic timing but he hasn't generally had much luck with comedies.

Adipurush Review: Part Planet Of The Apes, Part King Kong

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday June 16, 2023

Adipurush Review: Saif Ali Khan towers over everybody else in Adipurush and in a very physical sense at that. Prabhas has strong screen presence but it appears to be wasted on an undeserving film.

The Flash Review: The Speed Force Is Not With Ezra Miller's Mammoth Misfire

Written by Saibal Chatterjee | Thursday June 15, 2023

The Flash Review: If anybody does stand out, it is Michael Keaton, whose charismatic presence vindicates the belief that it takes a lot more than just CGI wizardry and metahuman qualities to make a superhero fly

Bloody Daddy Review: Shahid Kapoor Takes To The Role Like A Fish To Water

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday June 09, 2023

Bloody Daddy Review: Playing a variation on Farzi's defiantly amoral middle-class rebel, the lead actor assumes the persona of another anti-hero who plays the game by his own rules.

<i>School Of Lies</i> Review: Assiduously Crafted Series Packs A Massive Punch

Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday June 03, 2023

School Of Lies Review: With Aamir Bashir, Nimrat Kaur, Geetika Vidya Ohlyan and Hemant Kher delivering wonderfully well-modulated performances, the series rarely, if ever, falters.

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday June 02, 2023

Zara Hatke Zara Bachke Review: The performances from Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan as the happily married couple are as wildly uneven as the film itself.

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday June 02, 2023

Mumbaikar Review: Vijay Sethupathi's first Hindi film does nothing to eclipse what the versatile Chennai-based actor achieved in the Amazon Prime web series, Farzi.

Kennedy Review: Rahul Bhat Plays Central Character With Phenomenal Panache

Saibal Chatterjee | Friday May 26, 2023

Kennedy Review: Sunny Leone's laugh - more a sharp elongated squeal than a pure guffaw/giggle - is the defining trait of the character she plays. Wish there was more to her.

Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday May 20, 2023
