2025 · Hindi · Cinema Express
There is an authenticity to Homebound that goes beyond the writing and the language. It’s in the realness of the spaces

If you are a movie buff, you may often find yourself poised in a space between the real and the reel, wherein you don’t just see life getting reflected on screen but, quite as often, apprehend reality through the prism of films.
Roohi≈2/5
2021 · Hindi · National Herald
Roohi has been pitched to the audience as a successor to the successful “feminist” horror comedy Stree. But it proves to be far from it. Much like the predecessor, it tries to invert the reality and frame it from a woman’s lens.
PangaNo rating
2020 · Hindi · The Hindu
Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari directorial is about how love, marriage and children need not come in the way of a sportswoman’s success, but what sets it refreshingly apart is a wonderful sense of humour
Chhapaak≈3/5
2020 · Hindi · The Hindu
The lead actor's performance and Meghna Gulzar’s direction ensure that the film is like a splash that leaves you misty with emotions, if not entirely drenched
2020 · Hindi · The Hindu
A historical that kicks off well, flounders in the middle and then serves some good punches in the climax
Bulbul Can Sing≈2.5/5
2019 · Assamese · The Hindu
Rima Das’ vision gets darker as she continues to confront contentious issues of patriarchy and moral policing
Hamid≈3/5
2019 · Hindi · The Hindu
Also, like the Iranian films, overt politics is shunned to focus on the human repercussions of a tinderbox of a political situation.
Anandi Gopal≈3.5/5
2019 · Marathi · The Hindu
However, the finale gets a tad too melodramatic with all the speechifying and the earnest invocation of India, not to miss the noble-minded celebration of the Indian women pioneers in the end credits.
2019 · Hindi · The Hindu
A flat retelling of the legend of Jhansi Ki Rani that aims at stoking nationalism but reduces the story to mere platitudes

Simmba≈3/5
2018 · Hindi · The Hindu
Be it a rapist or a saviour, Simmba is all about toxic masculinity
2018 · Hindi · The Hindu
Ambitious in its visual scale, 'Thugs of Hindostan' reveals a disappointing lack of heft and flair when it comes to the story and its telling
Andhadhun≈4/5
2018 · Hindi · The Hindu
Andhadhun is not a whodunnit, whydunnit, howdunnit but a must watch
Baaghi 2≈1.5/5
2018 · Hindi · The Hindu
Nothing matters other than Tiger Shroff in a film that bores as well as amuses with its inanity
Hichki≈2/5
2018 · Hindi · The Hindu
Rani Mukerji lords over a film that plays out predictable, pontificatory and manipulative by turn
Padmaavat≈2/5
2018 · Hindi · The Hindu
Exaltation of Rajputs, glorification of jauhar, demonisation of Khilji aside, 'Padmaavat' can’t rise above being an overlong snoozefest
Secret Superstar≈3/5

Irada≈2.5/5
2017 · Hindi · The Hindu
A significant ecological issue fails to build a strong narrative despite a great cast

Sulemani Keeda2.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Outlook
At times, Sulemaani Keeda feels like an in-group Versova film that needed more to say hello to the world. At others, it feels yet another variation of Luck By Chance, albeit from the margins. It didn't stay with me for long.
Mary Kom3/5
2014 · Hindi · Outlook
Mary Kom plays out as a simple, unpretentious tale that picks up and dramatises important incidents from the champion's life. The frenzy and excitement of a Raging Bull or Million Dollar Baby may not be there.
Ankhon Dekhi3.5/5
2014 · Hindi · Outlook
Mishra, as the patriarch, Bauji, is the fulcrum and spine of the film. At once mercurial and patient, crazy yet sane, it's a character difficult to pull off and Mishra literally internalises it.
Shahid3/5
2013 · Hindi · Outlook
It's in how Mehta captures the psyche of the Indian Muslim in the changing, increasingly polarised India.
2013 · Hindi · Outlook
It's a film of meditative pauses and life as many of us have felt and lived. It reaches out to the heart as well as the mind. Not the kind of film you see very often.
Special 263/5
2013 · Hindi · Outlook
There are times when, instead of following the film's narrative, you end up playing 'spot the mistake'. I did think that making all the kids of Anupam Kher's family wear clothes off the same yarn was excessive.
I Am Kalam2/5
2011 · Hindi · Outlook
It's a straight, simple story with no great highs and lows and an easy resolution. The film moves a bit slowly, the acting initially feels mannered and the setting designed.
2011 · Hindi · Outlook
For a good, consistently witty, relationship-oriented film told from the male perspective, I'd go with Saket Chowdhury's Pyaar Ke Side Effects.
2010 · Hindi · Outlook
Hindi mainstream cinema, despite its predictability, can at times leave you with a smile on your face and a song in your heart. Band Baaja Baaraat is one such endearing film.
2010 · Hindi · Outlook
To compare OUTIM to other underworld films like Company and Satya would also be gross injustice to them considering they were a far more textured look into the mafia machinations.
2010 · Hindi · Outlook
Initially, the jerky, odd camera movements of LSD can prove quite unsettling for an audience used to sanitised, textbook frames. The kitschy metafilm (inspired from pulp fiction) adds to the bizarreness.
2007 · Hindi · Outlook
Shootout At Lokhandwala's tagline is a contradiction—"true rumours"—a clear indication of how facile a film it is.
Dhoom 23/5
2006 · Hindi · Outlook
It is also cinema of the stars, of larger-than-life glamour. Ash and Bipasha display bronzed, toned bods in hanky-small dresses. Dhoom 2 teases, titillates, caters to the voyeur in every viewer. But there's no gender divide here.
