Chhapaak Review: Deepika Padukone, Meghna Gulzar put out a humane tale of love, loss and identity

Meghna Gulzar’s honest attempt to convey a story strengthened by the performances of its actors is an important movement in the genre of socially realist cinema that has seen a kind of contemporary revival in the film industry. The only crucial difference being that this time, this movement in cinema is not being heralded by the ones on the outlines, but by the mainstream actors of Bollywood.

Commando 3 review: Vidyut Jammwal aces action game once again

After John Abraham set an impressive example with Batla House, a chink in the armour of Nationalist Cinema, Vidyut Jammwal’s Commando 3 re-established the godly suave and unquestionable swagger of a ‘bharatwadi’ as he calls himself in the film.

Motichoor Chaknachoor review: Another formulaic film of romantic comedy genre

As Motichoor Chaknachoor came to a close, one began wondering whether our obsession with marriage as a society will ever wean away. Almost all romantic comedies these days thrive on the idea of looking for a lover or a to-be bride/ groom or something similar to that. Let alone the experimentation with form, we are obsessed with the same content and the tensions around it.
