CTRL (2024) 44% “[Ananya] Panday is by herself, staring into a camera, and there are no supporting aids. That places an enormous amount on her shoulders, and she delivers. […] Annoyingly, the film around her falters to such a … degree that all the good work is washed off.” – AkhilArora.com Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Sector 36 (2024) 47% “Sector 36’s cop … bumbles across the film—he doesn’t have any inkling of what an investigation involves, he ignores key suspects for long stretches, and material evidence literally falls into his lap more than once. It’s mind-bogglingly maddening.” – AkhilArora.com Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba (2024) 38% “Taapsee Pannu and Vikrant Massey return in the first sequel to an Indian Netflix original movie that struggles to justify its existence.” – AkhilArora.com Aug 9, 2024 Full Review The Instigators (2024) 41% “Thanks to the dynamic between its leads, the support work of a colourful extended cast, and the pacing maintained by directed by Doug Liman, The Instigators proves to be a very funny heist comedy.” – AkhilArora.com Aug 9, 2024 Full Review Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) 78% “All the jokes about its new setting (in Marvel’s world) and the lovey-dovey X-Men fan service cannot overcome the fact that Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are hacking about without a solid purpose.” – AkhilArora.com Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Wild Wild Punjab (2024) 31% “[No] matter what turns it takes, the Netflix movie is devoid of fun. Wild Wild Punjab is unable to juice out thrills from even the most basic ingredients, be it a car chase, a panicky shootout, or getting stuck on a railway track.” – AkhilArora.com Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Maharaj (2024) 29% “Junaid Khan makes his debut in a Netflix movie that tackles blind faith and abuse of power. But what could’ve been a 19th-century #MeToo story is a typical Bollywood male saviour project.” – AkhilArora.com Jun 21, 2024 Full Review Inside Out 2 (2024) 91% “It’s growing up like its human protagonist. Thanks to Anxiety—the best new addition—Inside Out 2 leaves its old sense of self behind. But it’s an expansion, not an evolution. It knows it cannot top its predecessor.” – AkhilArora.com Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) 97% “An all-action over-the-top blast from start to finish, be it the acting or action, Mad Max: Fury Road offers the briefest of quiet moments in between. Yet, it knows how to be both tender and epic. The finale is thrilling…” – AkhilArora.com May 31, 2024 Full Review Mad Max (1979) 89% “At times more horror than action, the Mad Max movie that started it all is quite sinister. The editing style, the sound effects, the background score, and the shot composition are all testament to that.” – AkhilArora.com May 31, 2024 Full Review Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) 93% “The worldbuilding is possibly its biggest accomplishment, as you can start to see the elements of the wasteland take shape.” – AkhilArora.com May 31, 2024 Full Review Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) 81% “The second sequel—the third chapter overall—is a very different Mad Max movie than the first two. It’s kooky and a bit extra.” – AkhilArora.com May 31, 2024 Full Review Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) 93% “Most importantly, it passes the baton to a new generation quite seamlessly, with its new cast of characters largely expanding rather than contracting.” – AkhilArora.com May 31, 2024 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% “The second half is where the middle chapter of the original trilogy gets good.” – AkhilArora.com May 31, 2024 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% “[There’s] a charm to the simplicity, be it the cantina, the low-IQ Stormtroopers, or the film’s structure itself.” – AkhilArora.com May 31, 2024 Full Review Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) 79% “Hellbent on taking itself way too seriously, it’s less than the sum of its parts.” – AkhilArora.com May 31, 2024 Full Review Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983) 83% “It takes 80 minutes for Return of the Jedi to kick in when Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Darth Vader meet again.” – AkhilArora.com May 31, 2024 Full Review Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) 61% “It’s also too wayward and listless—there’s little plot and the film waits to find plot elements. Despite a split narrative and promising political parallels (to the days of Caesar), it simply doesn’t have enough to grab your interest.” – AkhilArora.com May 31, 2024 Full Review Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) 54% “The Phantom Menace fails on virtually every front. It features curiosities like Anakin’s implied virgin birth, [Liam] Neeson running around calling him “the chosen one”, and spouting nonsense about midi-chlorians (unnecessary exposition about the Force).” – AkhilArora.com May 31, 2024 Full Review Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) 90% “The scene was filmed over 78 days—across a five-month period—and needed nearly 200 seconds-long shots. It’s the glorious pinnacle of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.” – AkhilArora.com May 23, 2024 Full Review Atomic Blonde (2017) 79% “The fight on the staircase, a single take that lasts several minutes, is a particular highlight. It draws humour from the violence, too, and James McAvoy is having a ball as an unhinged operative.” – AkhilArora.com May 11, 2024 Full Review John Wick (2014) 86% “Unrefined, stilted, and rough in places, the film’s leanness and coherent action can’t make up for the fact that Keanu Reeves is close to wooden and doesn’t offer much as an actor.” – AkhilArora.com May 11, 2024 Full Review The Fall Guy (2024) 82% “Filmmaking can be incredibly complex but sometimes, all you need are two beautiful people who light up the screen together. Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt are proof.” – AkhilArora.com May 2, 2024 Full Review Challengers (2024) 88% “In what is easily his lightest and most accessible film yet, [Luca] Guadagnino takes primal human emotions—attraction, jealousy, failure, betrayal, despair, and sacrifice—and turns them into something endlessly fascinating. Game, set, match. Applause.” – AkhilArora.com Apr 27, 2024 Full Review Rebel Moon: Part Two - The Scargiver (2024) 16% “The sequel … ought to benefit from a defined focus but mucks it up with frivolous scenes, the worst possible dialogue, and by routinely prioritising exposition over its horridly underdeveloped characters.” – AkhilArora.com Apr 19, 2024 Full Review
