Chandu Champion
2024 · Hindustan Times
This heartwarming tale celebrates the exemplary journey of an unsung and forgotten hero. The biographical sports drama presents Murli's triumphs and failures with equal impact.

Merry Christmas
2024 · Hindustan Times
Writer-director Sriram Raghavan, five years since his last directorial Andhadhun, once again displays a spectacular example of what brilliant writing looks like. The film goes far and beyond, entering unchartered territories and immerses you in a world of deception, death and darkness.

Fighter
2024 · Hindustan Times
Fighter is a full-on entertainer that engages and excites in equal parts. The near perfect screenplay keeps you invested and engaged to a point that you barely focus on the loopholes, and it's high on patriotism but never resorts to chest-thumping chants.

Animal
2023 · Hindustan Times
Animal's problematic premise has already been discussed since its teaser and trailer were unveiled. What the full film offers is a series of events, emotions and sequences leading up to a rather underwhelming climax, which is so rushed that you keep waiting if something more is yet to come post the end credits.

Fukrey 3
2023 · Hindustan Times
Fukrey 3 is a legit laughter riot. You can easily leave your brains at home, and sit back to enjoy this without thinking much or trying to make sense of what's happening onscreen.

Attack: Part 1
2022 · Hindustan Times
John is often credited for carrying a film on his shoulders, however, with Attack, the actor and debutant director Lakshya Raj Anand took this a bit too seriously, as John, as a 'super soldier' is literally the single man out there, killing all the bad men.

KGF Chapter 2
2022 · Hindustan Times
With a screenplay that was all over the place, characters getting introduced at a pace faster than a meteoroid's crash, and a story that picked up only post-interval, I was a bit lost too early on in the film.
