Jewel Thief - The Heist Begins (2025)
“Saif Ali Khan, a shoo-in for the role of a master thief, and Jaideep Ahlawat, radiating nastiness despite gaudy styling, are poorly served by a movie stuffed with exceedingly silly plot turns.” –

Zapuk Zupuk (2025)
“The only relief from the predictable and overstretched storytelling is offered by Suraj’s aching authenticity and his fantastical moments.” –

Andaz Apna Apna (1994)
“In the process of sending up Hindi film conventions, Rajkumar Santoshi created a fresh idiom of comedy that follows no rules except the one that says that we must laugh ourselves silly. And we do.” –

Phule (2025)
“Phule’s revolutionary critique of Brahmanical values...are largely missing in a 127-minute drama that is as dull as it is dutiful, sincere but stilted too.” –

Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh (2025)
50%
“The handsomely produced movie rapidly loses sight of its most promising idea – the transformation of a collaborator into a rebel. Complex historical processes are reduced to a series of ludicrous exchanges and incredulous plot turns.” –

Jaat (2025)
45%
“The film is nasty, brutish and long. The 153-minute Jaat is most alert and alive in its elaborately choreographed action set pieces, in which gravity, restraint and logic are skillfully slaughtered as surely as Ranatunga’s men.” –

TEST (2025)
“...an avoidable 145-minute heap of repetitive and overstretched storytelling during which several people get slapped about.” –

Sikandar (2025)
7%
“Under Murgadoss’s severely attention-deficit direction, Sikandar staggers from one scene to the next, easily keeping pace with its lumbering hero but finding itself overtaken by its inherent ridiculousness.” –

Black Bag (2025)
96%
“Sleek, purring and smug at times, Black Bag has every one of Soderbergh’s trademarks...The superbly crafted film has sharply pointed dialogue, is terrific to look at, and is so smooth in its flow that it unsurprisingly slips out of grasp.” –

Be Happy (2025)
“Asking for nuance or scepticism about the wisdom of pushing children into talent hunt shows is as pointless as expecting D’Souza to mount a coherent, plausible story. ” –

My Melbourne (2024)
“Apart from Jules, none of the films reveals how the Indian directors view a city to which they do not belong or a society that they are seeing from the outside.” –

The Diplomat (2025)

“As a simplistic film about a complex negotiation into a tricky case, The Diplomat fulfils its stated brief.” –

Nadaaniyan (2025)
13%
“The mostly breezy and quickly forgettable film rolls out the requisite packaging needed to justify itself. You have the bright lighting, modish costumes and appropriate Gen Z lingo, but not the compelling characters or unexpected scenarios...” –

The Brutalist (2024)

“The screenplay by Corbet and Mona Fastvold draws dizzying links between the materiality of building elements and the scar tissue generated by displacement.” –

A Complete Unknown (2024)

“Although A Complete Unknown is sometimes as frustratingly opaque as Dylan about his motivations or politics, the film vividly captures his musical evolution.” –

“... the film's lack of feeling is vivid too, with shouty speechifying mistaken for heartfelt passion and sumptuous visuals confused for grandeur.” –

Dhoom Dhaam (2025)
60%
“Dhoom Dhaam canters along where it should have been racing headlong. The film passes muster as an unorthodox union of opposites thrown together by contrivance and rescued by a shared survival instinct.” –

Loveyapa (2025)

“The suspicion that the couple is better off without their parents or even without each other lingers in the remake [of Love Today], which faithfully but also mechanically follows a gimmicky premise all the way through.” –

Mrs. (2023)
82%
“Glossy and pretty to look at, and with a better-appointed kitchen too, the remake does well to stick with the original’s unsparing attack on a traditional household.” –

Outhouse (2024)
“[Mohan Agashe] is one of the highlights of a creaky and uninvolving film that has the look and feel of a television drama aimed at older children on a school break.” –

Deva (2025)

“Despite superb visuals and a blazing Shahid Kapoor, Deva is as cold to the touch as its treatment of weighty themes such as guilt, culpability and redemption is clinical.” –

The Dating Game (2025)

“Although The Dating Game does not delve too deeply into the cultural forces that are driving men to seek professional intervention, the film does provides rare glimpses into aspirational youth culture as well as the prevailing gender dynamic.” –
