Most Divergent Takes

Mardaani 3

Mardaani 3

2026 · Firstpost

What a powerful performance by Rani Mukerji; she simply killed it. She unapologetically owns the franchise of 'Mardaani'. But you can't ignore Mallika Prasad's performance too.

Border 2

Border 2

2026 · Firstpost

The film revisits the 1971 war with new heroes, but the only person constant is Sunny Deol. Why does Bollywood attempt war movies without proper research is my question.

"Wuthering Heights"

"Wuthering Heights"

2026 · Firstpost

Not much inspired from the novel, Margot Robbie, Jacob Elordi starrer film draws a fine line between a love story and an erotica.

O'Romeo

O'Romeo

2026 · Firstpost

'O'Romeo'—starring Shahid Kapoor & Triptii Dimri in the lead—is an absolute must-watch.

Michael

2026 · Firstpost

Jaafar Jackson did a great job, but the film is a 'whitewashed' depiction of the pop icon's life that presents a clichéd and incomplete portrayal.

Governor

'Governor: The Silent Saviour' is a serious watch and not for the 'massy' audience. But definitely a movie that will make you think. It is engaging, immersive and most importantly hugely relevant.

Maa Behen

The film is quirky, fun, immersive, and hugely entertaining. On the whole, this Netflix and Abundantia Entertainment film is worth every bit of your time. It is absolutely a hysterical entertainer.

Cocktail 2

Cocktail 2

2026 · Firstpost

Cocktail 2 is a not so perfect love triangle, but a contemporary film that you must try. Despite all its drawbacks Shahid Kapoor shines in the film. Just a one-time watch, but keep your brains locked up in the cupboard.

Siddhant Chaturvedi and Mrunal Thakur starrer and Ravi Udyawar directorial film is unique in many ways and has many lessons to learn from.

Ikkis

Ikkis

2026 · Firstpost

'Ikkis' is a perfect film to start the year with, as Dharmendra, Jaideep Ahlawat & Agastya Nanda give honest performances in their respective roles. 'Ikkis' isn't just a war drama; it's a human story.

Mercy

Mercy

Mercy is thought-provoking no doubt, but scary too when you think of the fact that as to how much power will AI have exactly three years from now.

Superboys of Malegaon

Superboys of Malegaon

2025 · Firstpost

'Superboys of Malegaon' is a tribute to the simplicity of filmmaking and friendship that we hardly get to see these days. It's a must-watch for the brilliant performances of all the actors.

Dhurandhar

Dhurandhar

2025 · Firstpost

This is indeed one of Ranveer Singh's best performances of the year. This film is indeed one of the most engaging releases of this year. For the theatre going audiences, this film is a complete package and an absolute value for money.

Major Shaitan Singh must be turning in heaven and howling to see the way Farhan Akhtar has played his part!

Jolly LLB 3

Jolly LLB 3

2025 · Firstpost

The real star performers in 'Jolly LLB 3' are not just Akshay Kumar & Arshad Warsi, but it is Seema Biswas & Saurabh Shukla's performances which will make you think.

Fighter

Fighter

2024 · Firstpost

After the flawed Tejas film, finally Bollywood delivers a brilliantly made movie on the Indian Air Force. With its brilliant VFX and dedicated star cast and not just Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone, all the actors delivered their best performance. A complete value for money, Fighter is perfect for the big screen.
