MOVIE REVIEW NEWS

Gadar 2 review: What we can confirm is that Sunny paaji can still snarl effectively, and that dhai-kilo-ka-haath has residual potency. We can also confirm the reappearance of a hand-pump.

Heart of Stone movie review: Netflix's new franchise-starter, starring Gal Gadot and Alia Bhatt, isn't as terrible as Red Notice or The Gray Man, but that doesn't mean it's much better either.

OMG 2 movie review: It’s been a while since I enjoyed an Akshay Kumar performance as much as this one. And I haven’t been taken by surprise as much as I was in OMG 2, in the best way possible.

Red, White and Royal Blue movie review: Not without its charms, the new Prime Video romantic comedy has a distinct pandemic-era whiff to it.

Poisoned movie review: The new Netflix shock-doc doesn't have a single jump scare, but it's the most terrifying film of the year so far.

Starring Saiju Kurup, Vijayaraghavan, Srindaa and Aju Varghese in key roles, Pappachan Olivilanu proves to be a disappointment from start to finish due to its exceptionally weak writing.

Talk to Me movie review: The film holds a conversation with its audience at multiple levels. It's about real teens and how much of themselves they put out there for the world, and eventually end up feeling unheard in the noise.

Dream movie review: Despite the combined star power of Park Seo-joon and IU, Netflix's new Korean drama is rather lacklustre.

Haunted Mansion movie review: With few scares and even fewer laughs, some inspired performances keep us invested.

Raffi's Voice of Sathyanathan, starring Dileep and Veena Nandakumar in the lead roles, suffers from a very average storyline that seems more fitting for the 90s or 2000s.

LGM aka Let's Get Married review: Conceived by Sakshi Dhoni and directed by Ramesh Thamilamani, LGM is an underwhelming family drama with contrived conflicts.

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani movie review: This Alia Bhatt-Ranveer Singh film has ginormous sets, blingy naach-gaana and a lot of emotions, but little originality.

The Beanie Bubble movie review: In a year that has produced some excellent films about American consumerism, the star-studded new movie is the cinematic equivalent of deadstock.

They Cloned Tyrone movie review: Jamie Foxx delivers a hysterical performance in Netflix's wildly entertaining genre mashup that combines goofy comedy with sharp satire.

Oppenheimer movie review: Christopher Nolan's gaze is directed at the inner universe of J Robert Oppenheimer who would be the father of the atom bomb.

Hidimba movie review: What could have become an edgy commentary on colonialism and India’s own dark history is dumbed down for the sake of silly commercial and box office requirements.

Valatty, featuring dogs as central characters, is filled with heartwarming moments. However, the film's reliance on struggles akin to those faced by humans prevents it from becoming a pure dog movie.

Director Balaji K Kumar's Kolai is all about style, but has little substance. Heavily influenced by American murder mysteries, Kolai is distant in terms of both aesthetics and emotions.

Bawaal movie review: Varun Dhawan-Janhvi Kapoor-starrer promises a lot, but keeps faltering, never quite knowing what to make of a wholly harebrained flourish in the plot.

The Netflix documentary Wham! showcases the rise of '80s pop legends George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley. It is directed by Chris Smith.

Bird Box Barcelona movie review: Netflix's expands the Bird Box universe with a subpar spinoff set in Spain, which deviates from the original in interesting ways, but wastes far too much time wandering down alleyways that lead nowhere.

Despite starting off strongly, Padmini, helmed by Senna Hegde and starring Kunchacko Boban, Aparna Balamurali, Madonna Sebastian and Vincy Aloshious in the lead roles, descends into a disappointingly convenient ending.

Maaveeran movie review: Sivakarthikeyan-starrer shares its soul with director Madonne Ashwin's debut film Mandela, which bagged him a National Award.
