Raid 2 (2025) “Hammy treatment and bombastic score strips the realism to turn Raid 2 into another hail the hero exercise. ” – Rediff.com May 1, 2025 Full Review Jewel Thief - The Heist Begins (2025) 7% 2.5/5 “Forget smarts or cheek, there’s little novelty to be found in Jewel Thief’s juvenile script, barring its now free usage of the F-word to make it sound all hip and adult.” – Rediff.com Apr 26, 2025 Full Review Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh (2025) 54% 2/5 “Playing yet another real life hero with the same righteous rage he’s turned into his calling card, Akshay Kumar's ‘more of the same’ shtick has long lost its appeal. ” – Rediff.com Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Kesari (2019) 35% 3/5 “Akshay and Action are Kesari's strengths” – Rediff.com Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Chhorii 2 (2025) 1.5/5 “Spending a bulk of its running time meandering across corridors strewn in silly jump scares and ritualistic gobbledygook, Chhorii 2 frustrates way more than it frightens.” – Rediff.com Apr 14, 2025 Full Review Sikandar (2025) 7% 1/5 “There's not any effort -- not even a smidgen -- to resurrect a superstar on the wane in Sikandar. ” – Rediff.com Mar 31, 2025 Full Review The Diplomat (2025) 58% 2.5/5 “The possibilities of this serviceable thriller are immense but the makers prefer to play it safe and hold back the daredevil in the diplomat's clothing.” – Rediff.com Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Be Happy (2025) 2.5/5 “Choreographer-turned-director Remo D'Souza can sure set the stage on fire but isn't quite the storyteller. ” – Rediff.com Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Nadaaniyan (2025) 13% 2/5 “Funny how the paparazzi regularly haunting Ibrahim's gym trips capture a far more relaxed and disarming side to his persona than the film.” – Rediff.com Mar 9, 2025 Full Review Mere Husband Ki Biwi (2025) 27% 2/5 “Between done-to-death tropes and flimsily updated ones, Mere Husband Ki Biwi sticks to ancient formulae yet gives a semblance of keeping up with the times only to confirm that old habits die hard.” – Rediff.com Mar 4, 2025 Full Review Dhoom Dhaam (2025) 60% 2.5/5 “Dhoom Dhaam is the sort of run-of-the-mill rollercoaster that sponges off all the cliches of the crime comedy genre for an endgame that's foreseeable from a mile even before the ball gets rolling.” – Rediff.com Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Mrs. (2023) 82% 4/5 “Mrs succeeds in riling you up for all the right reasons. And without resorting to high-pitched drama.” – Rediff.com Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Anuja (2024) 3.5/5 “It's a mild mannered depiction of a robbed childhood that pulls down its rose-tinted glasses every now and then.” – Rediff.com Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Deva (2025) 46% 2/5 “Shahid's rippling physicality and unhinged vigour is the only thing that keeps the momentum going in a mediocre rehash dumbed down by flimsy motive and mindless bravado.” – Rediff.com Feb 4, 2025 Full Review Baby John (2024) 31% 2/5 “Varun Dhawan is still too much of a Baby to be a John.” – Rediff.com Dec 25, 2024 Full Review I Want to Talk (2024) 70% 3.5/5 “Abhishek Bachchan conveys the numerous chapters and challenges of his mind, body and soul with a never-before candour. ” – Rediff.com Nov 22, 2024 Full Review All We Imagine as Light (2024) 100% 4/5 “Payal Kapadia's understanding of what it means to be a woman is as poignant as her authentic portrait of Mumbai's hoi polloi. ” – Rediff.com Nov 22, 2024 Full Review The Sabarmati Report (2024) 1/5 “The Sabarmati Report is so flimsy in its execution, taking offence to it would be dignifying its existence. ” – Rediff.com Nov 17, 2024 Full Review Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (2024) 43% “For a franchise that's build itself around a catchy ear worm and a ghost who likes to introduce themselves in ways that's more Bong than Bond, Bhool Bhulaiyaa preserves its 'silly scary movie that knows it is a silly scary movie' tone for a good measure.” – Rediff.com Nov 2, 2024 Full Review Do Patti (2024) 50% 2/5 “Collapses like a house of cards when it aims to be clever, or worse still, a crusader.” – Rediff.com Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Jigra (2024) 69% 3/5 “Name Is Bachchan. Alia Bachchan.” – Rediff.com Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video (2024) 10% 1.5/5 “Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video has the eagerness of a standup comic. It is the sort of movie that feels obliged to make a joke before a sentence, between a sentence and after a sentence. Problem is the humour is not just pedestrian, it's also plain unfunny” – Rediff.com Oct 11, 2024 Full Review CTRL (2024) 44% 4/5 “Riveting, masterful. I would recommend watching it on a computer for an eerie, immersive, real-time experience.” – Rediff.com Oct 4, 2024 Full Review The Girl on the Train (2020) 8% 1.5/5 “If only The Girl on the Train was as invested in its potential as it is in Parineeti Chopra's kajal in the film...” – Rediff.com Oct 2, 2024 Full Review Eeb Allay Ooo! (2019) 100% “The degree of depth and sensitivity demonstrated by Director Prateek Vats in his debut feature film is stuff of auteurs. Equally commendable are cinematographer Sahi's visuals of this social satire. Seek out this gem if you already haven't discovered it.” – Rediff.com Oct 2, 2024 Full Review
