Review: Horror comedy is a challenging genre, but the makers of ‘Stree 2’ have nailed it once again. This sequel retains all the charm of the first film, from the quirky small-town atmosphere to the eccentric characters and the simplicity of its people, blending these elements seamlessly for a winning formula. Sequels are often tricky, but the clever script flips the original plot—while Stree kidnapped men in the first film, this time a male villain, Sarkata, terrorizes and abducts women. With the characters already established, the story dives straight into action, delivering a fast-paced, tight screenplay that keeps viewers hooked, bolstered by a strong ensemble cast in top form.
The plot of ‘Stree 2’ picks up after the events of the first film, focusing on a new terror in Chanderi—Sarkata, a heaess entity targeting and kidnapping women who have embraced modernity. The story takes a personal turn when Bittu's (Aparshakti Khurana) girlfriend, Chitti, falls victim to Sarkata's attacks. A letter received by Rudra (Pankaj Tripathi) contains the missing pages of the Chanderi Puraan, which played a key role in the first film. Using these clues, Bicky (Rajkummar Rao), Bittu, and Jana (Abhishek Banerjee) embark on a mission to track down Sarkata and end his reign of terror, with help from Shraddha Kapoor's character, who remains nameless in this installment as well.
Rajkumar Rao is once again in top form, delivering his signature performance with strong support from Aparshakti Khurana and Abhishek Banerjee. Pankaj Tripathi continues to shine as Rudra, stealing scenes with his witty one-liners and impeccable shuddh Hindi. The screenplay gives each character their moment in the spotlight, allowing them all to stand out. However, Shraddha Kapoor’s character feels underwhelming, as she appears sporadically and, apart from adding some intrigue, doesn’t contribute much. One standout moment is when Sarkata chases Jana, who is riding with Pankaj Tripathi's character; Jana even manages to make the heaess entity drink alcohol, offering a brief glimpse of a smiling Sarkata. Another highlight is Rajkumar Rao’s hilarious rendition of Rema’s ‘Calm Down.’ The film is filled with laughs and hits all the right notes for a horror comedy.
However, in the second half, the screenplay starts to feel sloppy, as if the makers were in a rush and running out of ideas. This becomes evident with the sudden special appearances by Akshay Kumar and Varun Dhawan. While Akshay's character does steer the plot in a new direction, it's clear his role was added to draw in more viewers—or perhaps hint at the creation of a shared ‘Stree-Bhediya’ universe. The pacing feels rushed, and one wishes the writers had given more attention to this part of the film. Despite this, ‘Stree 2’ delivers plenty of entertainment, and Amar Kaushik once again excels in direction. The film retains the energy and charm of the original, with a clever script that brings a fresh twist.

Alien.Romulus.2024 ReviewIf you love the Alien franchise, there's a big chance this movie is gonna satisfy you quite a bit... Because it combines most of the notable elements that made the franchise oh so popular across the years (cf. There are multiple winks or easter eggs to the various movies of the franchise, via subtle elements, characters or story plots)...
It is of course a product of our modern era (the filming technics, the effects), while also keeping most of the classic atmosphere and tone of the Alien movies...The visual language is pretty excellent overall, with some really striking shots here and there (great framing and composition)...
Yes it might disappoint some, who have a feeling of ownership towards the franchise, because it definitely expands and explores the lore quite a lot (which is what I personally am looking for with sci-fi sagas that go on and on over decades)... Also, the lead actress (Cailee Spaeny) carries the movie really well, with silent strength, subtlety and intensity...
So if you're looking for an Alien movie that uses most of the old ingredients while reintroducing and/or reinventing them, and exploring beyond what we've been used to... Then you're up for a great time
Story: A game night takes a dramatic turn when friends agree to keep their phones unlocked, sharing every text and call publicly. Secrets spill out, dynamics shift, and lives are forever changed
Review: At her sister’s lavish Jaipur wedding, writer Vartika (Vaani Kapoor) suggests a twisted game, unleashing a hilarious, heart-rending, and dramatic chain of events. As private lives are exposed, the group discovers hidden secrets: Rishabh's (Akshay Kumar) Casanova personality, Kabir's (Fardeen Khan) personal struggles, Happy (Taapsee Pannu) and Harpreet's (Ammy Virk) marital issues, and Naina (Pragya Jaiswal) and Samar's (Aditya Seal) dark past.
Mudassar Aziz's direction and writing shine through the entertaining script, taut screenplay, and emotional dialogues—Rishabh’s call with his 18-year-old daughter where she wants to stay over with her boyfriend for the first time, and his speech at his sister-in-law’s wedding will win your heart. The writer-director proves a movie can be entertaining and engaging even when the set-up is confined to a hotel room’s dining table.
The couples’ introductory part follows a template, but once that’s out of the way, the rest of the movie, which portrays the course of the evening, will keep you hooked to the screen and laughing out loud. However, every couple’s story is predictable, often veering toward being cliched. But the performers delivering lines with pitch-perfect comic timing and expressions make up for the flaws in the stories.
Akshay Kumar is in top form as an incorrigible man who can read a person and convincingly spew white lies. He has unconventional views on relationships and loyalty, which will also resonate with the viewer. Ammy Virk delivers an outstanding performance as a hotheaded Sardar. He has an undeniable chemistry and comic timing with Fardeen Khan. While the latter's character's back story could have been better, he delivers a powerful performance. Taapsee Pannu as a ditzy and loud Punjaban shines in every scene—especially when the friends find out her nicknames for them or when her husband reads out his text messages aloud. The actress effortlessly alternates between side-splitting and poignant scenes. Vaani Kapoor as a chic writer, Aditya Seal as a professional trying to prove his worth, and Pragya Jaiswal as a clueless, high-society girl play their parts with aplomb.
Khel Khel Mein has minor flaws, but its smart writing, tight direction, and performances make it worth a watch, especially with a bunch of friends. However, if you get too inspired by this game, do it at your own risk!
জঙ্গলে ঘুরতে গিয়ে অভিরূপ (আবীর চট্টোপাধ্যায়) ও বাবলি (শুভশ্রী গাঙ্গুলী) আলাপ হয়। সেখানেই বাবলি অভির প্রতি আকর্ষণ অনুভব করতে শুরু করে। কিন্তু হঠাৎ একদিন সে জানতে পারে অভি ঝুমা (সৌরসেনী মৈত্র) নামের এক মেয়েকে ভালবাসে, যে আবার বাবলিরই বান্ধবী। হাজারও গুণের অধিকারী ঝুমা দেখতেও বেশ সুন্দরী। গল্পের মোড়ে মোড়ে মানসিক দ্বন্দ্ব ও টানাপোড়েনের মধ্যে গল্প এগিয়ে যায়।
Story: When a Dalit girl with aspirations of becoming a boxer faces obstacles and oppression of her family members, she resolves to fight for her rights. And in the process, forges a bond with an unlikely ally, who joins her in her crusade.
Review: When Vedaa (Sharvari) signs up for a boxing training camp in her college, she is aware that this step will invite opposition from the village pradhan’s family, but she wants to take that chance. For her, boxing is the way out of her oppressive life in Barmer. The village head, Jitin Pratap Singh (Abhishek Banerjee), while maintaining a progressive facade, favours the caste discrimination and his extremely violent brother, Suyog (Kshitij Chauhan), is often seen ruthlessly bashing up those who defy the societal norms.
But when a court-martialed Army Major, Abhimanyu (John Abraham) comes to Barmer, winds of change begin to sweep in. He takes Vedaa under his wing and starts training her to become a boxer. And the two eventually form a formidable team, when the injustice against her family crosses all limits.
Inspired by real-life stories 'Vedaa' speaks out loud against caste- based injustices and crimes. While using a social message to propel the high-octane action, the film's narrative (Aseem Arora) harks back to the Hindi movies of the 90s – high on drama, raw action (which is one of the highlights of the film), songs interspersed during tension and turning points in the story.
John Abraham as Abhimanyu is a man of few words, but his punches and kicks that come flying fast and furious do all the talking. The film plays to his strengths and scores high on stunts and he is every bit the action-star we've been looking forward to on screen. Sharvari in the title role, is raw and unhinged, holding her own very well in emotionally charged scenes. As the resolute Vedaa (who is called Fighter Vedaa by her sister), unwilling to give up, she is quite impressive. Abhishek Banerjee channels his menacing side in this role to fight the protagonist.
The film's gritty texture and tension are well-etched out and so are some of the evocative scenes. And songs like 'Zaroorat Se Zyada' blend in well to the mood. But a few notes in the film don't ring true - especially the long drawn out and convoluted climax, a couple of oddly inserted songs and some scenes come across as staged. Many portions are predictable, and follow the formulaic route, but the hardcore action sequences, especially in the second half, keep the adrenaline rush going.

Civil War2024 review :A blunt, gut-twisting work of speculative fiction, “Civil War” opens with the United States at war with itself — literally, not just rhetorically. In Washington, D.C., the president is holed up in the White House; in a spookily depopulated New York, desperate people wait for water rations. It’s the near-future, and rooftop snipers, suicide bombers and wild-eyed randos are in the fight while an opposition faction with a two-star flag called the Western Forces, comprising Texas and California — as I said, this is speculative fiction — is leading the charge against what remains of the federal government. If you’re feeling triggered, you aren’t alone.
