An Action Hero (2022) 85% “The Ayushmann Khurrana starrer doesn’t spare anyone, including – and especially – the Indian public and media’s confused, helpless, and toxic relationship with stardom.” – The Wire Dec 5, 2022 Full Review Bhediya (2022) 62% “Neither scary nor consistently funny...” – The Wire Nov 29, 2022 Full Review Bunty Aur Babli 2 (2021) 17% “The first had some political consciousness, the second has none.” – The Wire Jan 3, 2022 Full Review Antim: The Final Truth (2021) 21% “The whole enterprise can be summarized in six words: characters bleat, bullets dance, bodies fall.” – The Wire Dec 6, 2021 Full Review Sardar Udham (2021) 95% “Vicky Kaushal turns in a nuanced performance in tune with the film's script.” – The Wire Oct 19, 2021 Full Review Thalaivii (2021) 20% “Such stark disconnect between audio and video elicits unique exasperation: of watching two bad films at the same time.” – The Wire Sep 14, 2021 Full Review Bellbottom (2021) 54% “When Bell Bottom wasn't shrill or disgusting about its deshbhakti, I felt relieved.” – The Wire Aug 24, 2021 Full Review Ahaan (2021) 80% “Nikhil Pherwani's debut film dignifies an unacknowledged dream.” – The Wire Jun 2, 2021 Full Review Ajeeb Daastaans (2021) 100% “It's an assured performance that distils the thrills and expectations of new-found love - and does so through memorable specificities. It makes perfect sense: Every love story has its own language. Love is, after all, a linguistic detail...” – The Wire Apr 20, 2021 Full Review Pagglait (2021) 77% “Pagglait understands the baffling paradoxes of Indian families, where death can be more revealing than life.” – The Wire Mar 29, 2021 Full Review AK vs AK (2020) 71% “Despite some pleasant accomplishments, a meta film needs to be recognised for its essence: that it is an act of self-absorption - and so, the weight of that vanity becomes as important as the film itself...” – The Wire Mar 10, 2021 Full Review Choked: Paisa Bolta Hai (2020) 50% “The film is marked by a baffling listlessness, a foreign trait in an Anurag Kashyap production. For a thriller, Choked's plot plods. Its dialogues are pedestrian. The characters' desires lack the sting that makes them magnetic” – The Wire Jul 13, 2020 Full Review Eeb Allay Ooo! (2019) 100% “Eeb Allay Ooo! cares, lifting the migrant from the trappings of political abstractions, dignifying his fight and making him a person.” – The Wire Jul 13, 2020 Full Review
