Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh (2025) 50% 2.5/5 “It's powerful imagery, yes, but stripped of emotional buildup or nuance, it lands hollow. The intent is clear, but the context -- the soul -- is somehow missing.” – Gulf News (UAE) Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Sikandar (2025) 7% 2/5 “In the end, Sikandar is less a film and more a bloated tribute reel for Salman Khan -- one that leans heavily on recycled tropes. ” – Gulf News (UAE) Apr 3, 2025 Full Review L2: Empuraan (2025) “Empuraan is ambitious, yes. But ambition without accountability is just chaos with a budget. Don’t wrap up real-world trauma in myth. Don’t sacrifice substance for swag. And above all -- don’t keep Mohanlal waiting in the wings.” – Gulf News (UAE) Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Nadaaniyan (2025) 13% 1.5/5 “This film could have been a sharp, stylish take on class wars, elitism, and the snobbery of posh schools, but instead, it unravels like a juvenile school project -- half-baked and lacking depth.” – Gulf News (UAE) Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Officer on Duty (2025) 3.5/5 “This film, powered by efficient performances, is a good one-time watch. But what kills you is that despite dealing with a grim subject, we don’t truly empathise with the victims, which is an even bigger shame.” – Gulf News (UAE) Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Loveyapa (2025) 60% 3/5 “Swipe right if you're on the lookout for a strictly vanilla romance that never really peaks.” – Gulf News (UAE) Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Dominic and the Ladies' Purse (2025) 3/5 “If you enjoy a character-driven detective story with a touch of humor and heart, this one’s for you.” – Gulf News (UAE) Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Deva (2025) 46% “There are enough twists and substance to keep us satiated. The thunderous background score as Shahid obliterates his hapless enemies is also fun to watch.” – Gulf News (UAE) Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Babygirl (2024) 76% 3/5 “To put it mildly, your enjoyment of and investment in this latest chapter will depend entirely on your nostalgia for the beloved classic. For others, it might feel like an unnecessary detour.” – Gulf News (UAE) Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Kishkindha Kaandam (2024) 4/5 “Each character's emotional turmoil is rendered with impressive sensitivity. Ultimately, Kishkindha Kaandam is not just a thriller; it's a rich web of human experience, compellingly crafted and deeply affecting.” – Gulf News (UAE) Oct 15, 2024 Full Review Jigra (2024) 69% 2.5/5 “Those nuggets of humour and tragedy hits you rarely. There’s not much meat holding this movie together. The climax is also filled with some ludicrous twists. ” – Gulf News (UAE) Oct 15, 2024 Full Review Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) 31% 3/5 “A visually striking but emotionally diluted film that hums and haws and even dances between genres without fully committing to any of them. It’s a wild, chaotic ride, but it’s missing the haunting, bone-deep resonance of its predecessor.” – Gulf News (UAE) Oct 3, 2024 Full Review The Buckingham Murders (2023) 79% 3.5/5 “The answers aren’t always neat, but what’s the fun in a clean murder mystery? Plus, there's something incredibly attractive about a glamorous actress like Kareena Kapoor shed her glossy personna for a raw, searing film. ” – Gulf News (UAE) Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Ulajh (2024) 33% 3.5/5 “Give this movie a shot if you are in the mood for some good performances from the men and a woman who calls the shots.” – Gulf News (UAE) Aug 26, 2024 Full Review Kalki 2898 AD (2024) 77% 2.5/5 “Despite its star-studded cast and massive budget, Kalki 2898 AD struggles to deliver...none of the characters, barring Bachchan’s role, has been fleshed out.” – Gulf News (UAE) Jun 27, 2024 Full Review Maharaja (2024) 83% 3.5/5 “One of the most disturbing, enigmatic, and visceral watches of 2024. The labyrinth route that director Swaminathan opts for might feel tiresome, but stay with this film until the very end and you may feel gratified.” – Gulf News (UAE) Jun 21, 2024 Full Review Chandu Champion (2024) 87% 3/5 “A rocky journey of guts, glory, and gold with Kartik Aaryan in top form.” – Gulf News (UAE) Jun 14, 2024 Full Review Mr. & Mrs. Mahi (2024) 64% 2.5/5 “For a one-time watch, this movie is serviceable. It may not be as exciting as an IPL final match, but it has its good moments that make it worth our time.” – Gulf News (UAE) May 31, 2024 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% 4/5 “Director Denis Villeneuve comes up with a cracker of a starry action-laden sequel.” – Gulf News (UAE) Feb 24, 2024 Full Review Tiger 3 (2023) 55% 3.5/5 “What makes this movie work is Khan's unending star power. Even in the third part, this Tiger seems to have a lot of life in it.” – Gulf News (UAE) Dec 4, 2023 Full Review Dolly Kitty and Those Twinkling Stars (2019) 77% 3/5 “The movie’s climax may also seem a bit hurried and choppy, but the journey until there is eventful and deeply satisfying. Make sure to make this your weekend watch.” – Gulf News (UAE) Sep 27, 2023 Full Review Oppenheimer (2023) 93% “Fortunately, it’s not treated like a dense physics course that can be overwhelming and difficult to understand. This film is one of Nolan’s best and searingly simple-yet-complicated works. ” – Gulf News (UAE) Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Mrs. Chatterjee vs Norway (2023) 13% 2.5/5 “No doubt, it’s a significant tale of a mother’s battle to regain her children but I wish it was told in a less cranky manner. It felt like a gross miscarriage of creativity and opportunity.” – Gulf News (UAE) Mar 16, 2023 Full Review Rocketry: The Nambi Effect (2022) 64% 3.5/5 “R Madhavan, Shah Rukh, and Simran are in top form in this flawed, yet fascinating biopic...” – Gulf News (UAE) Jul 1, 2022 Full Review RRR (2022) 96% “Ram Charan and NT Rama Rao Jr are in their element, but it’s a bloated affair.” – Gulf News (UAE) Mar 28, 2022 Full Review
