Maa
2025 · News18
The concept and story have substance, but the film lacked largely because of its style of storytelling. Besides, the film also has a lot of stereotypes that could have been done without. Overall, it's a one-time watch and needs a lot more to even become a notable film.
The Goat Life
2024 · News18
Acting, cinematography, story, and screenplay, everything makes it a cinematic experience you should not miss out on. However, the film lacked the final emotional aspect of Najeeb reuniting with his mother, wife and seeing his newborn for the first time since her birth, leaving viewers feeling incomplete.
Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat
2025 · News18 · Oct 2025
Zaveri has tried to take the Arjun Reddy route, but ends up bringing out the cringiest film of the year. Dialogues, logic, direction — Zaveri has none of it in this film. Harshvardhan Rane and Sonam Bajwa have tried their best to make the film look bearable, but unfortunately, they fail miserably.
Chhaava
2025 · News18 · Feb 2025
Bringing to life the character of Chhaava is a roaring Vicky Kaushal, who, through his portrayal of the king, makes you bow down to his acting skills. He walks, talks and breathes like Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. The Uri actor has put in a lot of effort to become the "Raje" Laxman Utekar wanted him to be, and the result is nothing short of a monumental achievement in their respective careers.
The Sabarmati Report
2024 · News18 · Nov 2024
Overall, The Sabarmati Report is a good watch, and Massey, along with Dogra and Khanna, deserves the credit for taking up this challenge. Vikrant Massey delivers a stellar performance and has pushed his boundaries with this film.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3
2024 · News18 · Nov 2024
Although the plot of the movie revolves around betrayal, a fight for the throne, and unexplained flashbacks, the mediocre jokes and predictable jump scares make it a rather dull watch. Overall, if not for Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit Nene, the film would have been just a one-time watch.
Chandu Champion
2024 · News18 · Jun 2024
Overall, Chandu Champion, skilfully directed by Kabir Khan, proves irresistible with its powerful feel-good story. Undoubtedly, Kartik has delivered his career-best performance that aptly conveys his character's inner turbulence.
