Good Newwz2.5/5
2019 · Hindi · Rediff
Beset by a Princess Syndrome in the past, Kareena Kapoor reigns over this pandemonium like a stately queen, feels Sreehari Nair.

Article 153/5
2019 · Hindi · Rediff
Article 15 is not the work of a hack, or of someone merely scooping a plot out of newspaper headlines. It is a well-researched, clear-headed movie; but its findings have a purpose
Bharat1.5/5
2019 · Hindi · Rediff
Bharat is nothing more than a reflection of the times we are living in: where we expect our heroes to be flawless, virtuous fellas -- it is our current national disease, says Sreehari Nair.
Manto3.5/5
2018 · Hindi · Rediff
'If Manto, the film, falls short of being a masterpiece, it's ironically because Nandita Das the filmmaker does not quite crack the Manto code herself: she doesn't quite see her subject with the same wholeness that Manto saw his…
Stree2/5
2018 · Hindi · Rediff
Not only are the concerns expressed in Stree (patriarchy, consent, prejudice against women) mere excuses to touch our 'sentimental hotspots', the movie itself is a few tricks cobbled together...
2018 · Hindi · Rediff
If anything, Bhavesh Joshi proves right that maxim, unsaid but true: That Fixed Ideology, Self-righteousness and Superheroism run parallel to each other.
2018 · Hindi · Rediff
What we have here, I guess, is a director who understands how people fight, but has not a clue about how they make love.
Raazi2/5
2018 · Hindi · Rediff
Oddly enough, everything Raazi cannot explain or put a finger on, it glosses over in the name of patriotism or watan-love; glorifying thereby the very sentiment it had set out to mock.
Mercury2/5
2018 · Tamil · Rediff
There's something very pompous about the basic pitch of this movie that slowly chews away at its core..
Daas Dev3.5/5
2018 · Hindi · Rediff
Sudhir Mishra is perhaps telling us that we are all politicians waiting for our chance at the podium and that it takes a real silly to see the absurdity of it all.
3 Storeys3.5/5
2018 · Hindi · Rediff
3 Storeys is a movie of endless surprises: There's one murder, one giant regret re-lived and regurgitated, and one devastating catastrophe that comes out of nowhere. But none of these high-points has any room for discharge.
Mukkabaaz2.5/5
2018 · Hindi · Rediff
My worry is that many who are not fond of Kashyap’s usual complex sensibility would like this latest move: They’ll applaud the fact that he’s going for the tear glands with brass knuckles on.The tragedy of Mukkabaaz is not that…
Ittefaq3/5
2017 · Hindi · Rediff
As far as its final twist goes, Ittefaq is a whocareswhodunit but what it does have, as compensation, is the shock and suggestiveness of pulp served hot.
Rukh3/5
2017 · Hindi · Rediff
Rukh may be lit like a YouTube Short Film and may have its share of other technical problems, but there's something disturbingly original about director Atanu Mukherjee's vision
Tu Hai Mera Sunday2.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Rediff
Tu Hai Mera Sunday has delightful women characters, sketchy men, and individual threads that work better than the whole package...
A Gentleman1.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Rediff
The noise of the crowd, the badly phrased banter of the unthinking mob, the music in the butcher's knife, the tiny dreams of little people, these asides were the true essence of Raj and DK's first two movies, and it seems like…
2017 · Hindi · Rediff
2 hours and 20 minutes later, I walked out of Sachin: A Billion Dreams learning not one additional thing about Tendulkar: Not one factoid, not one statistic. Maybe it's convenient filmmaking, or maybe just the essence of God.
Sarkar 31/5
2017 · Hindi · Rediff
Ram Gopal Varma is back with Part Three of that series, which presented to us the first clear evidence that the great man was slipping...
2017 · Hindi · Rediff
If you want to be disappointed, there are better movies to be disappointed by. This is a half-star picture with one extra star for how ignorant it is about its own quality.
Poorna2/5
2017 · Hindi · Rediff
This movie is a perfect example of a city-bred director scanning our heartlands, and instead of taking in all the complexity, all the denseness, stopping to ask himself, "What are the corrections I can highlight in these lives…
Thithi5/5
2016 · Kannada · Rediff
In his first full-length feature itself, Raam Reddy seems to have mastered something that's most difficult to master in cinema: a way of suggesting a dreamlike clarity in a brazen setting...
Sairat≈3.5/5
2016 · Marathi · Rediff
Dhadak is a film that turns Nagraj Manjule's vision into naught, only so that a few more zeroes can be added to Karan Johar's bank account, says Sreehari Nair.
Tamasha2/5
2015 · Hindi · Rediff
There are no real people in Tamasha -- there are only character-types written in little pink balloon-letters, all floating in cloudland, feels Sreehari Nair.
