Fukrey Returns movie review: This Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma starrer is relentlessly juvenile
Fukrey, a 2013 film about a bunch of feckless Dilli fellows who fall afoul of a foul-mouthed female don, and some random layabouts, was an unexpected success. To want to run off a sequel is understandable. What doesn’t make sense is to make this return such a slog. The actors are (more or less) the […]

Firangi movie review: This Kapil Sharma and Ishita Dutta starrer is mildly engaging

Indrajith movie review: This Gautham Karthik film doesn’t even try to keep the viewer engaged
The only consolation I could derive from watching Indrajith is about a romance angle that wasn’t fleshed out. Indrajith (Gautham Karthik) spies on the girl-next-door when she is about to change. A full-fledged sequence plays out on how she takes revenge and leaves him in his boxers. When the duo meet again, we learn the […]

Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana movie review: The Rajkummar Rao starrer will leave you confused
For a film that ostensibly sets out to speak against the ills of dowry, Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana is surprisingly, and dangerously muted. On those who seek to sell their sons and buy daughters-in-law.
