Sikandar (2025) 6% 1.5/5 “To put it bluntly, the bar for masala films is on the floor here.” – Cinema Elite May 12, 2025 Full Review TEST (2025) 2/5 “There’s a lot going on during Test's 145 minutes but very little to connect to emotionally.” – The National (UAE) May 8, 2025 Full Review Chhaava (2025) 31% 1/5 “As the credits roll on “Chhaava,” all that lingers is a hollow echo of jingoistic noise.” – The National (UAE) May 8, 2025 Full Review VidaaMuyarchi (2025) 4/5 “It’s clear Thirumeni knows exactly what he wants on screen and his style-is-substance filmmaking language balances hyper kinetic shots with an earnest commitment to every emotion present in the story.” – The National (UAE) Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Game Changer (2025) 2/5 “The film feels less like a Shankar film and more like a Now-That’s-What-I-Call-Shankar's-Greatest-Hits playlist.” – The National (UAE) Jan 14, 2025 Full Review Nosferatu (2024) 84% 4.5/5 “Those who have seen Murnau’s silent film would already know what to expect by the end. What makes a difference, however, is the satisfying fashion in which its many plot devices, both big and small, pay off.” – Cinema Elite Jan 3, 2025 Full Review Baby John (2024) 31% 3/5 “Despite the bumps on the road, “Baby John” is a darn good time out.” – Cinema Elite Dec 27, 2024 Full Review Kanguva (2024) 2/5 “[Kanguva is] not entirely unwatchable; [Suriya's intensity] in his dual role and Deol’s terrifying presence as the villain will take its viewers to the end of the line, but there’s not much otherwise to hold onto as you leave the cinemas.” – The National (UAE) Nov 14, 2024 Full Review Singham Again (2024) 33% 3/5 “The film offers a good time at the movies this festive season. And, overdramatised enunciations and boomer humour aside, it is worth it.” – The National (UAE) Nov 1, 2024 Full Review Jigra (2024) 69% 3.5/5 “In anyone else’s hands, it could have been just another movie. But with writer-director [Vasan] Bala, however, Jigra stands out thanks to its strong emotional core—and a devastating turn from Bhatt, whose nuanced, understated performance powers the film.” – The National (UAE) Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Trap (2024) 57% 4.5/5 “["Trap"] is a phenomenally filmed psychological thriller that’s equal parts tragic character study, concert film, and inverse detective story neatly rolled into one fantastic joint.” – Cinema Elite Oct 6, 2024 Full Review The Buckingham Murders (2023) 79% 4/5 “An excellent slow burner that is locked in and committed to its craft, Mehta and co-writers Aseem Arrora, Raghav Raj Kakker and Kashyap Kapoor have created a tightly wound thriller that grips viewers from the start.” – The National (UAE) Sep 12, 2024 Full Review The Greatest of All Time (2024) 40% 2/5 “For what it's worth, [Vijay’s] singular charisma – a delicate balance of relatable, confidently cocky and hard-boiled action hero – helps viewers reach the finish line, even if they may be confused by the plot's nonsensical twists and turns.” – The National (UAE) Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Rebel Moon - Part Two: Director's Cut (2024) 67% 5/5 ““Rebel Moon – Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness” is bone-crunching, heartwrenching, and chest-thumping madness that tears at you emotionally while its characters tear at each other limb from limb.” – Cinema Elite Aug 11, 2024 Full Review Rebel Moon - Part One: Director's Cut (2024) 53% 5/5 “Packed with a raw sincerity that feels very human, “Rebel Moon – Chapter One: Chalice of Blood” is a breathtaking exercise in immersive storytelling that uses every second of its 204-minute runtime to build a successful image system for its narrative.” – Cinema Elite Aug 7, 2024 Full Review Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha (2024) 0% 2.5/5 “In spite of its drawbacks, though, it contains more good than bad throughout its running time, remaining eminently watchable for its bleeding-heart sincerity, if nothing else.” – The National (UAE) Aug 2, 2024 Full Review Daddio (2023) 76% 4.5/5 “It looks like an unassuming little film on the outside, but “Daddio” is a stunning exercise in empathy, regret, and catharsis—all in the course of a cab drive that lasts as long as the film itself.” – Cinema Elite Jul 30, 2024 Full Review Walk of Shame (2014) 15% 0.5/5 “Brill phenomenally wastes the proven comedic chops of Banks, Gillian Jacobs (“Community,” 2009-present), and Sarah Wright (“Celeste and Jesse Forever,” 2012) toward jokes without timing, a punchline, or even chuckle-worthy insight.” – Cinema Elite Jul 30, 2024 Full Review The Divergent Series: Insurgent (2015) 29% 3/5 “While it doesn’t feel any less derivative compared to the first film, “Insurgent” benefits from [Robert] Schewntke’s trademark visually expansive and action-packed direction and the breakneck pace in its screenplay.” – Cinema Elite Jul 28, 2024 Full Review And So It Goes (2014) 16% 1.5/5 “From the perspective of technical craft, nothing really seems out of place. None of it seems to help the frustratingly uninspired narrative, however, turning “And So It Goes” into a largely inoffensive but depressingly fruitless viewing experience.” – Cinema Elite Jul 26, 2024 Full Review The BFG (2016) 74% 2/5 “It looks Big and Friendly, but Steven Spielberg’s newest film isn’t the cinematic Giant it could have been.” – Cinema Elite Jul 25, 2024 Full Review The Wind Rises (2013) 88% 4.5/5 ““The Wind Rises” is, fortunately, the perfect sum of each of its specific, lovingly crafted aspects.” – Cinema Elite Jul 20, 2024 Full Review Love, Rosie (2014) 32% 2/5 “["Love, Rosie"] could have been perfect comfort food but ends up being a frustrating collection of could haves, should haves, and would haves.” – Cinema Elite Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Veronica Mars (2014) 80% 3.5/5 “For what it’s worth, “Veronica Mars” feels almost like an organic follow-up to its preceding television series.” – Cinema Elite Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Sarfira (2024) 42% 2/5 ““Sarfira” could have been much, much more. What it is now, unfortunately, is an overwhelmingly loud and long drama that is less movie and more a platform for Kumar's unceasing, unrelenting presence that overstays its welcome way before the first act ends.” – The National (UAE) Jul 11, 2024 Full Review
