What if a film is a “Highlights” package of a sports series involving India? What if that sport happened to be Cricket? What if that series happened to be a World cup which we won famously? What if that series was not watched on TV by many of us? We get 83, the film that... Continue Reading →
Atrangi Re – My Flash Review!
I wondered why such a seemingly big film went for an OTT release just when smaller films were getting good response at the theatre. I got the answer half way through the movie. Atrangi Re opens with a bizarre sequence where the lead girl played by Sara Ali Khan is being chased by a few... Continue Reading →
Suryavanshi My (late) Flash Review!
If I say Rohit Shetty’s latest film Suryavanshi was much awaited, it would not be an exaggeration. That’s because in his last cop film Simba released in 2018 itself, he had shown a glimpse of what’s coming - Another addition to his cop universe after Singham and Simba but this time with his Khatron Ka...

Meenakshi Sundareswarar – My Flash Review
Meenakshi Sundareswarar (MS) is based on a very contemporary theme – of a young couple struggling and working hard to make a long distance relationship work somehow. I think in real life, couples are smarter and more practical in these situations and are not so naïve as depicted in the movie. For such a theme... Continue Reading →
Sardar Uddham – My Flash Review!
Sardar Uddham is not a film. It’s a lesson in history. At least to me. This Shoojit Sircar’s film, now streaming on Amazon Prime opens our eyes to many aspects of our history which somehow don’t feature in our history lessons related to India’s freedom struggle. It’s a biopic on Sardar Uddham Singh, a revolutionary... Continue Reading →
Bell Bottom – My Flash Review!
Another Hindi film belonging to the spy thriller genre. Another film featuring Akshay Kumar as an undercover agent. Another film where the title is a bit bizarre for the genre (Remember ‘Baby’?) Set in the year 1984, Bell Bottom is about the exploits of this RAW agent (with code name Bell Bottom) who is “head... Continue Reading →
Shershah – My Flash Review
Shershah which is streaming on Amazon Prime, is the real life story of one of our Kargil heroes – Capt. Vikram Batra. His story of valour is now part of popular folklore in India having seen the same almost every year on the Kargil Anniversary. Kargil war was the 1st televised war for India and... Continue Reading →
Toofan Vs Sarpatta Parambarai – My Flash take!
As a matter of coincidence, 2 films - one in Hindi (Toofan) and the other in Tamil (Sarpatta Parambarai) both essentially sports dramas that too based on Boxing, got released almost at the same time two weeks ago on Amazon Prime. Probably it would have been to coincide with the Olympics where as we speak,... Continue Reading →
Haseen Dilruba – My Flash Review
Take the Drishyam -1 template which is – the protagonist commits an accidental murder and then he goes about covering all his bases so water tight that the police is not able to pin him down at the end and he goes scot free to live happily ever after. To this, make some minor changes.... Continue Reading →
The White Tiger – My Flash Review!
The film is adapted to the big screen from the Booker prize winning novel with the same title written by Arvind Adiga. Clearly the film belongs to the genre of ones like Slum Dog Millionaire, Salaam Bombay and their ilk. In the first few minutes of the film, if you are an Indian and that... Continue Reading →
