Qala is one such film that goes beyond the classic three-act structure and delves into pivotal topics such as mental health, impact of wrong parenting, casting couch, and struggles faced by women, offering thought-provoking content with grace and sensitivity.

Brahmāstra Part One: Shiva

2022 · PinkVilla · Sept 2022

Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva is a classic example of ambition meeting vision. Both of them are practically hollow without each other, and thankfully this Ayan Mukerji directorial manages to bring alive this combination of aspiration and imagination on the big screen.

Laal Singh Chaddha

2022 · PinkVilla · Aug 2022

Considering the stature of the original, it's hard to not compare Laal Singh Chaddha with Tom Hanks' Forrest Gump. But even after that, Aamir Khan and his team manage to live up to the original and present an entertaining watch. Those who will be seeing it as a standalone film will be pleasantly surprised.

Darlings

2022 · PinkVilla · Aug 2022

Darlings writer-director Jasmeet K Reen effortlessly manages to execute the mighty task of making a film that is entertaining but also has a strong message to convey. Overall, Darlings stays consistent even in the second half, and a few high points scattered periodically in the script keeps you hooked to the narrative.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2

2022 · PinkVilla · May 2022

In director Anees Bazmee's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, he has managed to achieve the right footing. While the second instalment of the franchise starring Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani, and Tabu manage to retain the thrills and chills from part one, overall Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 manages to hold your attention.

The Kashmir Files

2022 · PinkVilla · Mar 2022

While in the first half one is able to connect with the human story of Pushkar Nath Pandit, in the second half it loses that connection because of the filmmaker's attempt to highlight so many angles at once. Yes, Vivek Agnihotri's The Kashmir Files largely lacks another point of view, but it does manage to convey the plight of the Kashmiri Hindus and the sorrow that they still experience.
