September 07, 2018 10:46 IST
Laila Majnu movie review: Laila Majnu is set in modern-day Kashmir. A Kashmir without guns, gore, government — and, but for one misguided soul, Kashmiris.

September 06, 2018 13:36 IST

Searching movie review: The John Cho film’s observations are timely
August 31, 2018 17:21 IST
Searching movie review: The film's observations into the constantly logged-in worlds we live in, our vicarious interest in the tragedies of others, and our greedy need to insinuate ourselves into them, are timely.

Alpha movie review: This tale of unlikely friendship is engaging
August 25, 2018 00:23 IST
While nudging us to rethink what we think when we hear 'Alpha', there is another story at the heart of the film. It is about the beginning of a beautiful friendship, one of the few things to have endured 20,000 years later: between man and dog.

August 24, 2018 16:45 IST
Mile 22 movie review: Iko Uwais holds his own despite the star power, muscular presence, and the amateur geopolitical chatter of old-hand Mark Wahlberg.

August 10, 2018 17:33 IST

Christopher Robin movie review: This Ewan McGregor film is nothing special
August 10, 2018 17:08 IST
Christopher Robin movie review: Christopher Robin does nothing special, and reduces its characters uniformly to more or less unidimensional figures.

Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again movie review: An embarrassment of a frothy film
August 03, 2018 14:46 IST
Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again movie review: Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is an embarrassment of a frothy film sustained only by the nostalgia for ABBA and the gamely charm and talent of its older cast.

Mission Impossible Fallout review: The best Mission Impossible movie yet
July 27, 2018 14:40 IST
Mission: Impossible – Fallout movie review: Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – Fallout offers not just action that sizzles but action we can largely follow, happening to people we grow to care about.

Hotel Transylvania 3 movie review: The Adam Sandler franchise seems to have finally run out of all jokes
July 20, 2018 17:46 IST
Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation movie review: All said and done, as Dracula himself puts it, a cruise is nothing but a hotel on water. And it's about time this film checked out of one.

July 20, 2018 13:40 IST
Skyscraper movie review: Rawson Marshall Thurber is more intent on showcasing Dwayne Johnson’s indisputable superhuman, but also much exposed, talents.

Antman and the Wasp movie review: Paul Rudd impresses once again
July 13, 2018 14:02 IST
Ant-Man and the Wasp movie review: Having delivered a surprise hit with 2015 film Ant-Man, director Peyton Reed again banks on the fact that the biggest strength of his Marvel superhero is his ordinariness and likeability.

Isle of Dogs movie review: This Wes Anderson film is disappointing
July 06, 2018 19:05 IST
Isle of Dogs movie review: Isle of Dogs is disappointing, in the stereotypes it wields, in the history it seems not to care for, in the clever jokes it can't resist succumbing to, and ultimately in its treatment of the four-legged species it seems devoted to.

Sicario Day of the Soldado movie review: The Benicio Del Toro starrer ends up being a Mexican film
July 06, 2018 18:22 IST
Sicario Day of the Soldado movie review: Sicario: Day of the Soldado really comes alive, in the blood, sweat and tears of the Mexicans seeking "paradiso", one way or another, across an increasingly dangerous border.

Incredibles 2 movie review: The superhero family entertains again
June 22, 2018 18:15 IST
Incredibles 2 movie review: The highest points of the film and its acutest observations -- even if predictable -- remain Mr Incredible Bob Parr's struggles with reconciling to the success of his wife, Elastigirl Helen, in a new superhero role.

Ocean’s 8 movie review: The Sandra Bullock starrer is a frothy caper
June 22, 2018 17:33 IST
Ocean's 8 movie review: Scene-stealers in their own right, neither Sandra Bullock nor Cate Blanchett manage to infuse their roles with that star gloss.

Hereditary review: The Toni Collette starrer is a film of breathing, tangible horror
June 21, 2018 23:40 IST
Hereditary movie review: Just when we are marvelling at the horror that can be wrought from family dynamics around a polished dinner table, Aster ditches the fork for the pitchfork.

Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom movie review: This Chris Pratt starrer is a film of our times
June 07, 2018 19:58 IST
Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom movie review: It's a film of our times. As scientists underline that we are now into the 'Anthropocene epoch' -- or a human-influenced age, for the first time in Earth's history -- and as man plays God with nature, Fallen Kingdom does well to catch on.

You Were Never Really Here movie review: Watch it for Joaquin Phoenix
June 02, 2018 00:14 IST
You Were Never Really Here movie review: The Joaquin Phoenix starrer is disturbingly stylised given that it is dealing with a crime of such nature -- eventually leading up to a resolution that is almost too easy when all it has done is ask us to toughen up.

High Jack movie review: This Sumeet Vyas starrer repeats one joke too many
May 18, 2018 14:53 IST
High Jack review: As is the bane of many a Hindi film, High Jack repeats one joke too many, and in seeking an ending where its characters all look good in that much-told rich-vs-poor tale, does ultimate injustice to them.

Deadpool 2 review: The Ryan Reynolds starrer hits the right spots much more effortlessly than its prequel
May 18, 2018 07:33 IST
Deadpool 2 movie review: It is all too confusing in the beginning, and much too smart at times — again — for its own good. But as Ryan Reynolds gets other people to match his wits against, Deadpool 2 starts hitting the spots it wants too, much more effortlessly than its prequel.

Hope Aur Hum movie review: Naseeruddin Shah deserves better
May 11, 2018 16:53 IST
Hope Aur Hum movie review: Hope Aur Hum doesn't believe in subtlety when it comes to drumming home its message of old giving way to the new, saddling Naseeruddin Shah with the burden of making audiences hope that, surely, there is something better around the corner.

Raazi movie review: A film like Raazi needs to be made
May 11, 2018 07:42 IST
Raazi movie review: Meghna Gulzar paces the film well, fleshing out the characters who make up the Sayed family, into which Sehmat is married, and then gradually turning up the tension as the bride’s cover wears thin.

102 Not Out movie review: The Amitabh Bachchan starrer is happy making old age seem all sunshine
May 04, 2018 14:52 IST
102 Not Out review: No doubt it's great to see a film about two old people. But we have seen both Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor in that avatar in better films (Piku especially, and in Kapoor & Sons) before this.

Omerta movie review: A surprisingly passion-less biopic of Omar Saeed Sheikh
May 04, 2018 09:10 IST
Omerta review: Hansal Mehta's Omerta, starring Rajkummar Rao, is a surprisingly passion-less, rote incident-by-incident telling of the story of a man who is part of one of the most shameful chapters in India’s terror history.
