Exactly an year ago, a misogynistic patriarchal love story was wowed in Kabir Singh. This movie I feel, was a \”Thappad\” in the face to the movie and mentality. Many a times, the homemaker and her contribution is taken for granted. Further, our society teaches a bride-to-be to adjust and sacrifice her wishes, ambitions and

The trailers of most of the films these days are enticing enough to make you watch the movie, unless of course you hate the genre altogether. So I decided to give it a chance, without much expectation. I don\’t know why many of the film makers these days don\’t take the pains to even think

After a lot of build up and being a film riding on the original Joker\’s goodwill, this one deserved a shot.. I am ready to get bashed for what follows!! I really don\’t see why there\’s been such a showering of praise for Joaquin Phoenix. For a three time Oscar nominee (including one for Gladiator)

To be brutally honest, I was sceptical of watching this movie, because this so called cross gender comedy does not suit my taste. But then, when you have Ayushmann to shoulder the responsibility, nothing seems impossible. After a wide range of films including Article 15, Andhadhun and Badhai Ho in the recent past, Ayushmann khurrana

This is the kind of movie if you want to relive the college and hostel life. Sushant Singh Rajput aka Anirudh and Shraddha Kapoor aka Maya separate after marrying and having a child for reasons the makers thought are best left to the the viewers\’ imagination. What starts as a medical emergency give rise to
