Detective Sherdil (2025) EDIT “Though he never breaks the fourth wall, Sherdil talks frequently in voiceover, at times speeding through whole conversations to hand us the gist. The jokey dialogue writing does poorly by his rapid-fire mind.” – The Hindu Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan (2025) 27% EDIT “The film’s obsession with sight-based metaphors and poetic punning becomes... a blind spot.” – The Hindu Jul 11, 2025 Full Review Kaalidhar Laapata (2025) 80% EDIT “This passage (featuring younger versions of characters and scored with the generically sweet ‘Haseen Pareshaniyaan’) returns to conventionality a narrative that celebrates the art of letting go.” – The Hindu Jul 7, 2025 Full Review Sitaare Zameen Par (2025) 65% EDIT “Every scene or callback is calibrated to yield a lesson, a realisation. An ideal Aamir Khan film can be both entertaining and edifying. But when the balance tilts, it’s just annoying.” – The Hindu Jun 23, 2025 Full Review Stolen (2023) 88% EDIT “The film tells you nothing that you don’t already know.” – The Hindu Jun 4, 2025 Full Review Logout (2024) EDIT “Logout can be classed as a screenlife thriller—though not entirely. The camera roams more freely and conventionally than in CTRL and LSD 2. The editing, by Atanu Mukherjee, is fluent without being flashy.” – The Hindu May 2, 2025 Full Review The Bhootnii (2025) EDIT “Writer-director Sidhaant Sachdev mashes all his ideas together into one, undifferentiated pulp...The whole production seems dunked in trippy confetti, like a wedding party that suddenly turned into a rave. ” – The Hindu May 1, 2025 Full Review Ground Zero (2025) EDIT “Deoskar’s visual imagination of Kashmir is strictly limited; there are frames here that could have been imported, with a few button clicks, from other films. The dialogue writing is worse...” – The Hindu Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Hisaab Barabar (2024) EDIT “A modest, toothless satire, the film boasts sitcom staging and visuals, lacking cinematic bite. ” – The Hindu Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Girls Will Be Girls (2024) 100% EDIT “ The screenplay by Talati is subtle and detailed. ” – The Hindu Jan 17, 2025 Full Review The Sabarmati Report (2024) EDIT “The minor human moments that Massey can bring alive are sidestepped for high-pitched histrionics. He’s given too many dramatic speeches, but not much heft. ” – The Hindu Nov 15, 2024 Full Review Singham Again (2024) 32% EDIT “The assembly of stars in the climax is as slapdash and bereft of fresh ideas as the one that capped Sooryavanshi. ” – The Hindu Nov 2, 2024 Full Review Jigra (2024) 71% EDIT “Despite its competence and moments of poetry, Vasan Bala’s film fails to engage or excite at a visceral level.” – The Hindu Oct 15, 2024 Full Review Love, Sitara (2024) EDIT “The biggest hitch is the writing, which tacks indiscriminately between English and Hindi (with sprinklings of Malayalam). The family drama feels more arranged than life-like...” – The Hindu Oct 1, 2024 Full Review Sector 36 (2024) 47% EDIT “At once vague, violent and exploitative, this Netflix crime thriller based on true events, though impressively shot, inspires no confidence.” – The Hindu Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Stree 2 (2024) 57% EDIT “Amar Kaushik's horror-comedy Stree 2 has the texture and whimsy of the 2018 original, but not its subtext or edge. It gets busy propping up a cinematic universe.” – The Hindu Aug 15, 2024 Full Review Ulajh (2024) 33% EDIT “Janhvi Kapoor is caught in an inept thriller.” – The Hindu Aug 6, 2024 Full Review Kill (2023) 90% EDIT “Nikhil Nagesh Bhat's hack-and-slash action film set on a train is a tremendously gory and enjoyable genre piece.” – The Hindu Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Maharaj (2024) 29% EDIT “Junaid Khan’s debut film means well but runs dull.” – The Hindu Jun 25, 2024 Full Review Mr. & Mrs. Mahi (2024) 64% EDIT “Despite its initial sweetness and interest in character psychology, Sharan Sharma’s Mr. & Mrs. Mahi is neither a convincing sports film nor an effective relationship drama.” – The Hindu Jun 3, 2024 Full Review Amar Singh Chamkila (2024) 88% EDIT “Diljit Dosanjh gamely anchors Imtiaz Ali’s vibrant musical.” – The Hindu Apr 16, 2024 Full Review Civil War (2024) 81% EDIT “Dunst finds the appropriate hardness for Lee. She is rigorous but humane, somewhat tuckered out, and is nicely matched with Spaeny as her bright-eyed mentee.” – The Hindu Apr 10, 2024 Full Review Madgaon Express (2024) 73% EDIT “A fun, freewheeling ride, occasionally hobbled by slapstick excess.” – The Hindu Mar 27, 2024 Full Review Murder Mubarak (2024) 63% EDIT “Murder Mubarak demonstrates how simple it is to make a decent whodunit.” – The Hindu Mar 17, 2024 Full Review All India Rank (2023) 62% EDIT “Varun Grover’s directorial debut is delicate but familiar...it might take a couple more films for Grover to come into his own as a visual stylist.” – The Hindu Feb 27, 2024 Full Review
