“CREW” BRINGS A MISPLACED VIGILANTE STORY TO A COMEDY DISASTER

Crew is propelled by three determined women who aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo for their own benefit.

SARA ALI KHAN’S “AE WATAN MERE WATAN” IS AN EPIC FAIL

SIDDHARTH MALHOTRA’S “YODHA” FAILS TO SAVE THE WORLD EVEN WITH IT’S LOGIC

Despite any leniency viewers might extend, or their affinity for Sidharth Malhotra, “Yodha” struggles to maintain coherence, veering erratically from one narrative hiccup to the next. The film toys with the laws of aviation to an absurd degree, suggesting passenger planes can be easily manipulated by its characters, a notion that stretches believability to its limits.

PANKAJ TRIPATHI SHINES EFFORTLESSLY IN “MAIN ATAL HOON”

The film does acknowledge Vajpayee’s critiques of Congress and his respect for Nehru, offering moments of ideological reflection reminiscent of a less polarized era. Yet, it remains a missed opportunity to delve deeper into the nuances of Vajpayee’s legacy, ultimately providing a surface-level recounting of his contributions and challenges. 

“SHOWTIME” FAILS TO ACCOMPLISH THE DARK SIDE OF BOLLYWOOD IN AN INSIPID ATTEMPT

‘Showtime’ is a remarkable creation from the minds of Sumit Roy, Lara Chandni, and Mithun Gangopadhyay, offering a compelling exploration of Bollywood’s less-celebrated facets.

AJAY DEVGN’S “SHAITAAN” FAILS TO LEAVE A LASTING IMPRESSION

Shaitaan, directed by Vikas Bahl, blends these elements with an excessive dose of supernatural themes, diluting its impact and rendering it somewhat hollow.
