The Kerala Story was released in theatres in May 2023. Yet, it found its way on OTT just recently. The reasons for this are not unfathomable. This film is reportedly based on real-life stories of Hindu/Christian girls from North Kerala getting radicalised and taken to Syria as part of an ISIS master plan. To a... Continue Reading →
Fighter – My Flash Review!
After War and Pathaan, filmmaker Siddharth Anand comes up with another full-on action film that feeds on the same theme of the Indian fauj taking on terrorists from the other side of the border. And what a time to release the film – The Republic Day weekend when already Nationalistic fervour is on a high... Continue Reading →
Three Of Us – My Flash Review!
After Kaathal, this is another film that is slow, poignant and heavy on emotion. You will not be alone if you felt that the film was a longish cinematic version of the sweet Vodafone commercial featuring a pug that follows a young boy wherever he goes (You and I, in this beautiful world…). A major... Continue Reading →
12th Fail – My Flash Review!
In 1998, Vidhu Vinod Chopra made Kareeb – a love story that was sweet, simple and staid in its making. The movie didn’t do well at the box office then. Till then Chopra was known for making films with a flair and flourish like Parinda, 1942: A Love Story etc… Post Kareeb, Chopra went on... Continue Reading →
Dunki – My Flash Review!

Pandey is credited with creating and co-writing this series while... Continue Reading →
The Railway Men – My Flash Review!
When you watch The Railway Men, what strikes you most are the highly superior production values and the making of the series. I haven’t seen one in recent times on Indian OTT platforms that has taken such painstaking efforts to recreate an Indian heartland town of the 80s. For people like me who belong to...

Tiger-3 – My Flash Review!
Tiger-3 as the title suggests, is the 3rd in the ‘Tiger” series of Salman Khan – Yashraj Production combo. I really liked the 1st one in the series – Ek Tha Tiger; the 2nd one – Tiger Zinda Hai was o.k and not bad and therefore I looked forward to watching this one. But then,... Continue Reading →
Khufiya – My Flash Review!
Khufiya on Netflix as the title suggests, is a spy thriller based on the book – Escape to Nowhere written by Amar Bhushan, who himself has served in the R&AW – India’s “Agency”. Vishal Bhardwaj, co-writer and Director of the film knows a thing or two about adapting popular novels to films as seen by... Continue Reading →
Jawan – My (late) Flash Review!
As I write this, Jawan has already completed more than two weeks in theatres and has turned out to be a humungous box office hit beating many records. The film starring Shahrukh Khan is directed by Atlee, a relatively new name in Bollywood but a very familiar name in South India having churned out successive... Continue Reading →
