Mirzapur: The Movie has the peculiar challenge of starting in the middle of a story, a set of relationships and a world that its audience already knows intimately.

Some films return because they have a story left to tell. Others return because they want to revisit a memory.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3≈2.5/5
2024 · Hindi · Mint
In 2007, Priyadarshan directed Vidya Balan as the ghostly apparition Manjulika in Bhool Bhulaiyaa, with Aneez Bazmee taking over the reins of this comedy-horror franchise in 2022.
Crew≈2.5/5
2024 · Hindi · Mint
The sisterhood in Crew – a heist comedy centred around three members of a flight crew, each contending with their own financial preoccupations – is made undeniably attractive by powerhouse actresses Tabu and Kareena Kapoor Khan.
Fighter≈3.5/5
2024 · Hindi · Mint
Translating a video game into a feature film requires more than recreating its characters and signature moves.
Mrs. Chatterjee Vs NorwayNo rating
2023 · Hindi · Mint
In 2011, Sagarika Chakraborty and her husband Anurup Bhattacharya’s story made headlines in India and led to a diplomatic incident between India and Norway when their two children were taken away by the Norwegian child welfare…
Ek Villain Returns≈2.5/5
2022 · Hindi · Mint
Films like Ek Villain Returns and its precursor, Ek Villain, stoke the male ego that’s unable to handle a woman having agency and the choice to end a relationship and move on.
Good Newwz≈3/5
2019 · Hindi · Mint
It’s a mix-up of epic proportions. A fertility clinic that prides itself on its success rate messes up when it interchanges the vials of two Mr Batras and impregnates the wrong Mrs Batra.
Laal Kaptaan2.5/5
2019 · Hindi · Firstpost
Singh, the director, had all the pieces to craft an effectual Indian western: the terrain, the long-suffering sadhu, an age of flux, elements of magic realism, and touches of Shakespearean tragedy.
Chhichhore≈2.5/5
2019 · Hindi · Mint
Director Nitesh Tiwari offers the ultimate homage to his college days with this film about his time as an engineering student and the lessons one learns outside of the classroom. Chhichhore operates on two planes.
Junglee2/5
2019 · Hindi · Firstpost
Vidyut Jammwal's action-adventure film is well-intentioned but lazily executed
Luka Chuppi2/5
2019 · Hindi · Firstpost
Utekar directs what can best be defined as an overwritten dummies guide to live-in relationships.
2019 · Hindi · Firstpost
...the film attempts to deliver a mixed message about how animals living in captivity need to be saved from avaricious developers.
Thackeray2/5
2019 · Hindi · Firstpost
The timeline of Thackeray is conveniently engineered to delete the unflattering, the sensitive and the problematic mandate. What remains are elements that buoy up the founder of the Shiv Sena and paint him in resplendent saffron.
Why Cheat India2.5/5
2019 · Hindi · Firstpost
Emraan Hashmi plays conman with flair but is bogged down by convoluted screenplay
Andhadhun≈3/5
2018 · Hindi · Mint
Ayushmann Khurrana plays Akash, a pianist deeply dedicated to his art. He happens to be visually impaired.
2018 · Hindi · Firstpost
The trailer of this film tells you almost all there is to know. Take that three minutes and add another 172: The main feature is a bloated narrative that skirts almost three hours.
2018 · Hindi · Firstpost
There are shades of his tour de force performance as Professor Siras in Aligarh in Gali Guleiyan, with Bajpayee reiterating his command on his craft as he conveys so much while given so little to say or do.
Paltan1.5/5
2018 · Hindi · Firstpost
Paltan is more testosterone and male ego than strategy or drama and, surprisingly, it's tentative even in its jingoism.
2018 · Hindi · Firstpost
Looking back at my thoughts on the second part of Yamla Pagla Deewana in 2013, it struck me that, besides changing a few names here and there, I could copy paste the analysis, sentiment and pain of that experience and it would be…
Fanney Khan2/5
2018 · Hindi · Firstpost
Inexplicably, Kapoors Fanney has Hyderabadi intonations (which come and go) so its hard to place him, while Lata sounds more Delhi Punjabi than Mumbai.
Beyond the Clouds2.5/5
2018 · Hindi · Firstpost
An energetic and physically immersed performance compensates partially for an absence of tenor.
Hichki3/5
2018 · Hindi · Scroll
Naina Mathur (Rani Mukerji) is a trained and qualified teacher. However her various applications for teaching positions over five years have been unsuccessful. The primary reason is her speech impediment.
Welcome to New York1.5/5
2018 · Hindi · Firstpost
The 3D part in the film is a waste. The intent behind Welcome to New York leaves many questions – why is the main one. Why 3D, why make this movie, why give Karan Johar a double role, why not use more cameos?
2018 · Hindi · Firstpost
Despite their best efforts, the moments between Bedi and Menon are awkward and though the seasoned Menon throws in all he's got, even his handlebar moustache looks weary by the end of this sobering slog.
19211.5/5
2018 · Hindi · Firstpost
A fellow audience member described it best: It's like an onion—you cry as you peel it and you can keep peeling it and keep crying, but you can also stop at any time.
2017 · Hindi · Firstpost
This is a film that can bring up the question of how one can stay impartial when afforded this kind of intimate access over two years.
Ribbon2.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Firstpost
Not all ideas translate well to film and though are some moments of note, if Ribbon works at all, it is credit to Koechlin's and Vyas' committed and convincing performances.
Golmaal Again2.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Firstpost
I must admit that this might be the most enjoyable of the four Golmaal films because there is actually a plot and the by-now-familiar characters are less annoying while the annoying ones are partially relegated to the background.
2017 · Hindi · Firstpost
Tiwari's handling of the jail scenes are commendable even if the climax is a little contrived.
Daddy3/5
2017 · Hindi · Firstpost
Daddy demands patient viewing as it sets out to explore a new story delivery style while tackling the ever-popular gangster genre.
Baadshaho2/5
2017 · Hindi · Firstpost
The screenplay of Baadshaho is unduly non-linear and includes indulgent scenes like one of police torture.
A Gentleman2/5
2017 · Hindi · Firstpost
The comic parts of A Gentleman score over the action and as an action-comedy is falls short of taking any real risks.
Mubarakan2.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Firstpost
Fortunately, the humour does not degenerate to crass double entendres. Family entertainment is clearly at the core and Mubarakan manages to deliver enough laughs.
2017 · Hindi · Firstpost
Director Sabbir Khan and writer Vimi Datta have designed a film that is serviced by Shroffs two skills dancing and action.
Meri Pyaari Bindu2.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Firstpost
Nostalgia is one of the strongest characters in Meri Pyaari Bindu, but it's unlikely that the target audience for this kind of frothy romcom would warm up to that, and those who would are perhaps seeking more heft.
Mukti Bhawan4/5
2017 · Hindi · Firstpost
A heartwarming tragicomic tale about life, death and reconciliation...
Poorna3.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Firstpost
The film handles that with reverence and sensitivity while addressing it's additional motive: to deliver a message about realising dreams, maximising opportunities, encouraging the marginalised to break out of community…
Irada≈2.5/5
2017 · Hindi · Mint
Strong performances by Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi, but the film-making leaves much to be desired
Kaabil3/5
2017 · Hindi · Firstpost
If you are able to look past many of these niggles it's thank to Hrithik Roshan's committed performance which keeps you rooting for his Rohan all the way.
2009 · Hindi · DNA India
An ironic tale that represents a clash between ambition and friendship, somewhat like the far superior Amadeus, London Dreams is given a leg-up by a strong story let down in execution and technique.
Aladin≈2/5
2009 · Hindi · DNA India
Director Sujoy Ghosh’s most ambitious venture till date is derailed by a tedious plot and dialogues; the mystery, fantasy world is overrun by a juvenile love story.
2009 · Hindi · DNA India
The script is so full of holes you can sieve tea through it. The performances are largely wooden (Rahul Dev, Sophie Chaudhary included). Basu is styled like she’s 14 and mopes around a lot. Mukesh appears ill at ease.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa≈2.5/5
2007 · Hindi · Mint
In 2007, Priyadarshan directed Vidya Balan as the ghostly apparition Manjulika in Bhool Bhulaiyaa, with Aneez Bazmee taking over the reins of this comedy-horror franchise in 2022.
