MOVIE REVIEW NEWS

Michael Keaton wears the loneliness of Knox, left by his wife and son due to what he does, on his face and his piercing black eyes – which are like tiny holes taking all in, giving little out.

Yuva movie review: Towards the end, director Santhosh Ananddram surprisingly opts for a 'cut-and-paste' approach, replicating the climax of Aamir Khan's Dangal.

Godzilla x Kong The New Empire movie review: Three talented actors, Rebecca Hall, Dan Stevens and Brian Tyree Henry, are doing the honours in this. And yet all the acting in this film is done by that mini-ape, who is cunning and sad, loving and brave, all at the same time.

Tillu Square review: Tillu Square is filled with punchy one-liners. Most of them refer generously to DJ Tillu. If you have seen the first part, your enjoyment of this film might be multifold. Even otherwise, the comedy here is excellent.

Yes Papa movie review: The film does have the right intention. Child sexual abuse is a difficult subject, and needs wider amplification.

Patna Shuklla movie review: The mark-sheet switch and the rampant corruption in educational institutions keep you engaged in Raveena Tandon film, even if the story-telling itself bobs along evenly, without too many surprises.

Crew movie review: Tabu, so comfortable in in her older woman avatar, and Kareena Kapoor Khan, treading the thin line between greed and need with ease, are a riot; Kriti Sanon, in their company, manages to hold her own.

Shirley movie review: Like the recent Rustin, Netflix's new political biopic features a central performance that easily outclasses everything in it.

Aadujeevitham - The Goat Life movie review: Prithviraj Sukumaran delivers one of his career-best performances, elevating the Blessy film above its shortcomings. Despite a somewhat shaky start, he admirably rises to the challenge, portraying Najeeb with authenticity.

Arthur the King review: This film, packing a lot into its 107 minutes, tries to be both about the dog and the chase – in a way that does justice to neither.

Madgaon Express movie review: Divyenndu, Avinash Tiwary and Pratik Gandhi is a threesome which can lift any scene, but the lacklustre writing lets them down.

Om Bheem Bush movie review: The film hinges on the camaraderie and improvised dialogues among Vishnu, Rahul and Darshi. What we get is a goofy comedy, where every line comes with a punch. 

Swatantrya Veer Savarkar movie review: It appears Randeep Hooda’s intention was to right what he considers are historical wrongs towards his hero, and there’s not an iota of doubt of the near-worshipful tone the film bears towards the central character.

Road House movie review: Flashily directed by Doug Liman and starring Jake Gyllenhaal in fine movie star form, Prime Video's remake of the '80s cult hit isn't as trashy as the original, but it certainly isn't a knockout either.

Ae Watan Mere Watan movie review: The breakout star in this Sara Ali Khan film is Sparsh Srivastav. He was terrific in ‘Laapataa Ladies’; here he proves that that performance was no fluke.

Anchakkallakokkan movie review: Though the film's plot is very simple and straightforward, writer-director Ullas Chemban's approach brings a refreshing twist as he infuses the folk theatre art form of Porattunadakam into the narrative and introduces the myth of Anchakkallakokkan.

Jatt Nuu Chudail Takri review: The Gippy Grewal starrer is an entertaining but uneven film that highlights misogynistic attitudes towards women.

Kung Fu Panda 4 movie review: Jack Black and Awkwafina are a hoot but Viola Davis is surprisingly ineffective, failing to evoke the irresistible charisma that marks the best of villains.

Murder Mubarak review: This is the closest any film has come to re-creating Anuja Chauhan’s universe, very few can do the insider-outsider divide with such acuteness, both sharp and warm.

Bastar The Naxal Story movie review: To expect any kind of nuance from the makers of The Kerala Story would have been a stretch. Bastar is more of the same.

Yodha movie review: Things plummet soon enough as Sidharth Malhotra goes full tilt at the rescue operation that ends with a pacifist note in the heart of our neighbouring country.

All of Us Strangers review: Is there love without hurt? And what makes it still worth all the hurt? That lies at the heart of this poignant film about a middle-aged man dealing with childhood loss,

While the 1985 Color Purple was more specific to Celie, and ended up speaking to womanhood at a personal as well as a general level, this version is more about one community — and thus more constrained to that extent.
