Almost all the scenes featuring Mohanlal are that deliberate attempt to celebrate him as a superstar, and despite knowing how it exposes the movie’s genericness, we sort of enjoy that fan service.

Vipin Das Successfully Repeats the Bro-Code Formula, Blending Humor and Empathy

In my opinion, the real mastery of Aditya Dhar lies in his ability to utilize the gore-filled, technically superior craft elements, which makes people overlook the problematic aspects. Vivek Agnihotri and Vipul Shah should attend his filmmaking classes.

If you like genre films that stay true to their flavor and don’t go for compromises that can widen their business, I would highly recommend DC.

Ohh My Dog

There are films that were intended for kids but had worked for adults as well. Oh My Dog is clearly not that kind of film.

Jai Bhim

Jai Bhim is partially preachy. But because of the honesty, it shows in approaching the central theme that preachy feel never becomes a deal-breaker. With a constantly engaging screenplay and some great performances from its cast, TJ Gnanavel’s Jai Bhim is a pertinent legal drama.

Bulbbul is aspiring to be more than a horror drama and that’s the most appreciable thing about this movie.
