Court: State vs. A Nobody

Court: State vs. A Nobody

2025 · The Hans India · Mar 2025

Court: State Vs A Nobody is an engaging legal drama with standout performances from Priyadarshi, Shivaji, and Harsh Roshan. Though the first half is slow, the courtroom sequences in the latter half make it worth a watch. If you enjoy intense legal dramas, this one is definitely worth your time.

Game Changer

Game Changer

2025 · The Hans India · Jan 2025

While Game Changer boasts an intriguing plot and powerful performances, the film does falter in certain areas. The emotional depth, particularly in the second half, feels underexplored, and some romantic sequences disrupt the serious tone. However, despite these shortcomings, Game Changer stands out as a solid political drama with exceptional performances, making it a must-watch for fans of the genre.

Kushi

2023 · The Hans India · Sep 2023

On the whole, "Kushi" is a likeable rom-com with a neat second half. The main point of the film unfolds in the latter hour, which is packed with good drama and emotions. Shiva Nirvana delivers a film that is relatable to family audiences. Hence, "Kushi" ends up being a good watch.

Virupaksha

Virupaksha

2023 · The Hans India · Apr 2023

Virupaksha is a genre flick that sticks to the genre out and out. It is commendable as it features a known hero. However, it relies heavily on the technical work to pull through more than twists and thrills, which is decent.
