Welcome to the Jungle

Welcome to the Jungle

2026 · Deccan Chronicle

Welcome To the Jungle is a loud, chaotic, and unapologetically commercial entertainer that prioritizes spectacle and comedy over coherent storytelling.

Hanuman Ansh

Hanuman Ansh

2026 · Deccan Chronicle

More than just a film, Hanuman Ansh is a cinematic experience that encourages introspection, faith and inner peace. It serves as a gentle reminder of the enduring relevance of Shri Neeb Karori Baba's teachings in today's fast-paced world, making it a thoughtful watch for devotees, families and anyone searching for hope and spiritual inspiration.

“Wuthering Heights”

“Wuthering Heights”

2026 · Deccan Chronicle

Yet for all the big swings, Fennell's "Wuthering Heights" amounts to something oddly shallow and blunt: garish and stylized fan fiction with the scope and budget of an old-school Hollywood epic. In these sex-deprived times at the cinema, if some corset kink, power games and smoldering star power from two genetically blessed Australians is what you're looking for, "Wuthering Heights" might just satisfy that big-screen itch, but the surreal, pop art choices are often more distracting than additive.

Raja Shivaji

Raja Shivaji

2026 · Deccan Chronicle · May 2026

Not perfect. Soap-style flaws, abrupt action, and logical gaps persist. But the heroism, the climax, and the sheer cultural weight of Shivaji Maharaj make you clap, roar, and cheer anyway.
