Prahaar

Prahaar

2026 · IndiaTvNews

The film has a strong subject and some effective performances, yet it never quite turns these into the gripping legal drama it could have been. Prahaar: The Ujjwal Nikam Story is worth watching for the story it revisits and the people it remembers. As a courtroom drama, however, it leaves too much to be desired.

The Love Hypothesis

The Love Hypothesis

2026 · IndiaTvNews

The Love Hypothesis is not going to change the romantic-comedy genre, and it does not need to. Its appeal lies in how comfortably it delivers the things audiences expect from this kind of story. It is sweet, funny, occasionally steamy and undeniably charming.

Maalik

Maalik

2025 · IndiaTvNews

Maalik's powerful lead performance, realistic storyline, and evocative world-building make it stand out even though it isn't a groundbreaking movie in the gangster genre. Rajkummar Rao and Pulkit's Maalik rightly deserves 3 out of 5 stars.

The Sabarmati Report

The Sabarmati Report

2024 · IndiaTvNews · Nov 2024

'The Sabarmati Report' not only pays tribute to the innocent lives lost during the riots but also remains interesting till the end as a film—a medium of entertainment. This film is a must-watch for those who are interested in Indian history and hence, rightly, deserves 3 stars.
