Most Divergent Takes

Raja Shivaji

Raja Shivaji

2026 · PinkVilla

The film's strongest pillar is its emotional honesty. Riteish Vilasrao Deshmukh approaches Shivaji Maharaj's story with visible respect and restraint, never allowing spectacle to overpower sentiment. The storytelling feels rooted, and that sincerity reflects in every frame.

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do

2026 · PinkVilla

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do is a laughter-filled rollercoaster powered by clever writing, situational chaos and entertaining performances. I walked into the theatre sleep-deprived and with absolutely no expectations, but walked out smiling from ear to ear. If chaotic comedies and situational humour are your comfort genre, this one is likely to entertain you thoroughly.

Cocktail 2

Cocktail 2

2026 · PinkVilla · Jun 2026

Cocktail 2 suffers from a stretched second half and occasionally relies on familiar tropes. However, just when the narrative appears to be losing steam, the film finds its footing in the final 15 minutes. The climax packs enough emotional punch to make up for some of the unevenness that precedes it, ensuring that you walk out with a smile and perhaps even a lump in your throat.

Main Vaapas Aaunga

Main Vaapas Aaunga

2026 · PinkVilla · Jun 2026

After a long dry spell, Hindi cinema finally delivers a profound love story that will leave your heart racing and your eyes moist long after you step out of the theater. The narrative delicately balances heavy themes, the trauma of refugee families, the agony of separation, and the vulnerability of dementia, all while keeping its central love story intact.

Dhurandhar: The Revenge

Dhurandhar: The Revenge

2026 · PinkVilla · Mar 2026

Don't let the runtime deter you, Dhurandhar The Revenge is a cinematic experience worth investing in. Ranveer Singh proves yet again why he's considered one of the finest actors of his generation, with exceptional range that seamlessly transitions from vulnerability to intensity.

Dhurandhar

Dhurandhar

2025 · PinkVilla · Dec 2025

Dhurandhar is a gripping, emotional, and thoroughly engaging spy thriller. With powerful performances from Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, strong direction by Aditya Dhar, and a story filled with action, love, patriotism, and memorable villains, the film is made for the big screen.

Jabariya Jodi

Jabariya Jodi

2019 · Mid-Day · Aug 2019

Jabariya Jodi is based on the practice of groom kidnapping, garnished with a pinch of comedy and a dash of romance. As a whole, it is a feel-good film; a movie you won't mind watching once.

Super 30

Super 30

2019 · Mid-Day · Jul 2019

Super 30 is a onetime watch. Inspirational acting by the lead cast with Hrithik Roshan showing the way is the high point of the film but the story fails to keep the audience hooked
