The film will appeal to people who love history and are well-versed with Manto’s writings. The film enables you to travel back in time as cinematographer Kartik Vyas’s lens captures and recreates the era replete with sepia tones to perfection. The atmospheric lighting further adds to the authenticity.
The mellifluous and mournful score by Zakir Hussain imparts an interesting dimension to the narrative.
Overall, Manto, rooted in history, is a treat to watch.

Manmarziyaan is a love story treated with a difference and it is the performances that keep you glued to the screen.

Inspired by a true story, Gali Guleiyan is an astutely mounted psychological drama that unfurls intriguingly. At the core of it is an interesting story of Khuddoos (Manoj Bajpayee), a brooding character living in denial, trapped within his locality and circumstances.

Stree moves in mysterious ways through a labyrinth of lip-smacking interludes, some razor-sharp others blunt to the point of blandness. Even when the momentum of the eerie gets overly airy, there is still enough steam in the storytelling to keep us interested, if not enthralled, to the end.

Overall, this film might not have the spark of its predecessor but nevertheless, it is light-hearted enough to bring a smile to you face.

Karwaan has much that is wrong with it. But it also has plenty that pleases, a warmth and an empathy for the misfits that makes it a very endearing road trip, albeit with irrelevant deviations.

Eventually, if you sit through the ordeal of watching Rajkummar Rao romance the stunning Ms Rai Bachcchan in an abandoned industrial factory with only her pet dog for company, Fanney Khan is a heartwarming ode to life, Lata Mangeshkar, Mohd Rafi and Sheila Ki Jawani. Effervescent and emotional, it is an effective antidote to the pain of existence.

Overall, the performances outdo the mediocrity of the script and keep the film afloat.

Soorma just makes you happy for the unsung heroes whom cinema has the power and reach to put on a pedestal.

Sanju with a special emphasis on the father-son relationship, as well as his bond with his friend Kamli, is a heart-warming tale, honestly told.
