2023 · Hindi · Mid-Day

The leading duo in this film imagines phantom images of a girl they knocked down in a car crash. They fled after the accident. The victim follows them around. She appears in pictures they click.

My Name Is Khan poster

2010 · Hindi · Hindustan Times

The film of course crushes the most popular post-9/11 prejudices of our times. The case isnt new. Which is that while most global terrorists may be Muslims – all Muslims arent terrorists.

3 Idiots poster

2009 · Hindi · Hindustan Times

Thankfully. This is a film that never undermines Bollywood for its authenticity: it has its alternating emotional highs and lows, a catch-point (aal ij well for jaadu ki jhappi), an invincible hero, and perfect knowledge of when…
