Merry Christmas (2024)
85%
“Merry Christmas comes out of this love — for cinema, for the city — but love demands an easy rigour, too. It cannot expect itself to be celebrated by merely being. Neither can it expect a pat for being meticulous, thorough.” –

Kho Gaye Hum Kahan (2023)

“I wish the film did not find the need to milk what existed in the sensual and frame it with such starched flatness. Sometimes language does not express as much as excrete, and the stench of all that clarity can be a bit nauseating. Let chaos be?” –

Ganapath (2023)

“Ganapath is trying constantly to be sleek, camp, to produce futurism and dystopia, to produce both romance and action, to infuse masala in muscle, and raunch in romance. But it is trying so hard and so tirelessly...” –

Selfiee (2023)

“A film like Selfiee needs to be a tender dance of humour and heavyweight feelings. What it needs most, to achieve this balance, is maturity. Yet where to find this in a film that wilfully looks at a text and junks its meaning?” –

“It doesn’t help that Santoshi’s direction is stuck in the 1990s, in expressionist cinema, where he is content with showing people on screen as angry or sad or happy — he isn’t interested in making us feel these emotions.” –
