Review: Survival thrillers are not a new genre but Tollywood does one of them so few and far in between that it's a delight to see- especially when done well. Hari and Hareesh's Yashoda takes a very real-world situation, ups the ante and on top of everything, bank on a dependable actor like Samantha to carry it through.

Yashoda (Samantha Ruth Prabhu) is a surrogate in desperate need of money. Instead of carrying out her pregnancy in the basti she lives in, she is urged to move to the high-end facility Eva, owned by Madhu (Varalaxmi Sarathkumar). It also helps that she has Dr Gowtam (Unni Mukundan), who's easy on the eyes, looking after her health. While the clinically white rooms, pastel outfits, luxurious food and great company seem like a dream-come-true for any pregnant woman, cracks soon form on the surface. A disappearance here, a glitch there and soon Yashoda finds herself unravelling the mystery behind it all.





On the other hand, in the world outside Eva, we also have a murder mystery unravelling. A Hollywood starlet dies under mysterious circumstances, so do a tycoon and a super model. An unknown drug (apart from a fairness cream!) seem to hold the key to the whole mystery. Secret codes, dead policemen, loose ends - how does it all connect to the facility?

The first half of Yashoda banks heavily on comedy and emotion. The scenes where smart-mouthed Yashoda flirts with Gowtam, pulls pranks on the facility workers and banters with the many women like her there makes you chuckle. Every woman there has a story and more often than not, it's much more to do with than just being a vessel to help childless parents. The more Yashoda seems to find out about the facility, the more a team of police men (Murli Sharma, Shatru, Sampath Raj) seem to lose track of their investigation, stumbling upon road blocks.



A fight scene right before the interval sets the tone for what's to follow - an edge-of-the-seat thriller that sees Yashoda claw and fight her way out of the situation she's in. If you've seen the 2004 Hong Kong horror film Dumplings you can kind of guess the secret behind it all. That's not to say Hari, Hareesh and Samantha don't make the ride as interesting as they can. There's something visceral about the way Samantha's character is hunted and even more so in the way she fights for survival. Even if you're able to predict what happens next (which is rare), the film ensures to keep you engaged.

Where it doesn't work is when it gets hammy with some of the dialogues regarding Yashoda, mother's love, pregnancies and deliveries. The film could have done even without them because they just seem to add to the run time and don't land how they're expected to. The VFX could've also been much better in order to sell the story completely. And if we're really picking at the nitty gritty, characters of the other girls at the facility could've also been fleshed out better. Few key scenes depend on it and it's not as immersive as it should've been. Art director Ashok, M Sukumar's cinematography, Mani Sharma's score and Yannick Ben's stunts aid the film well.

Samantha steals the show as the titular Yashoda. This is her film through and through. She even draws whistles with the way she kicks butt and delivers punch dialogues with ease. The more she gets into action mode the more you both have fun and flinch at the same time. Varalaxmi and Unni Mukundan sell their roles well. You just know there's something simmering beneath the surface, waiting to come out. And when it does, it comes out well. However, Varalaxmi struggles a little with her dubbing and you wish it was better. Rest of the cast, including Rao Ramesh, Murli Sharma, Sampath Raj and co play their parts well.

Yashoda is the film to catch this weekend if you're looking for something beyond the usual masala fare or love stories. Watch it especially if you're a fan of thrillers or are a fan of Samantha. You won't regret it.

Director: Anees Bazmee
Writer: Aakash Kaushik
Release Date: November 1, 2024
Language: Hindi





Review: Keeping with the theme of the franchise, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 also pits an unassuming cheeky protagonist against a spooky haveli with a buried past. The century-old mansion needs to be restored to its former glory and sold, but Manjulika’s terrorising presence in it forbids the owners from doing so. The royal family in dire need of resources, seeks Rooh baba’s intervention. The fraudster takes up the lucrative offer only to find himself tangled in a mess as he discovers two dark forces who claim to be Manjulika.




Close on the heels of Stree 2’s thumping success, comes yet another horror comedy. Anees Bazmee returns to direct BB after his 2022 hit, having taken over from Priyadarshan, who helmed the Akshay Kumar original (2007). Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is structured more as a comedy with elements of horror. Ensemble comedies have been Bazmee’s forte (Welcome, No Entry) after all, so the departure from Priyadarshan’s psychologically tense theme is understood. A particular scene revolving around a superstar is the highlight of this film and one of its finest scenes.

BB3 keeps you invested, and nowhere does it get tiring but it does have its static phase where the comic punches don’t quite land as much as they should. The story takes a considerable amount of time to build up, but the wait feels rewarding, thanks to a thoughtful twist in the climax. You don’t see it coming at all and the makers succeed in giving a sensible and mature spin to a massy entertainer. The art direction deserves a mention too. The production value is a notch above the previous instalments.



Kartik anchors the film as he reprises the role of Ruhaan/Rooh baba. He has the maximum screen presence and owns the role. Though this is a Kartik Aaryan show all the way, the women have been a solid backbone and crowd pullers in this franchise. Be it Tabu in the previous film or Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit in this one, the celebrated actresses are absolute scene stealers and stunners.

The film marks the return of Vidya Balan to the franchise after her stellar portrayal of Manjulika in 2007. She lets her eyes do the talking. Vidya has Madhuri Dixit for company and together, they are like fire and ice. Madhuri with her million-dollar smile, powerful presence and graceful dance moves is a sight to behold. Their iconic dance-off in Ami Je Tomar, where each performs a distinct classical dance form - Madhuri predominantly Kathak, Vidya - blend of Bharatnatyam-Odissi, is worth the hype. It’s tough to match up to Madhuri as far as dance is concerned but Vidya pushes herself skilfully. The song placement feels a bit sudden. However, the visual appeal and riveting performances make up for it. Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra and Ashwini Kalsekar, are extremely talented and deserved better lines. Triptii Dimri’s character arc could have been fleshed out better.

BB3 has its share of highs and lows but it delivers what you expect from a Diwali family entertainer. Make sure you guard the climax for others to enjoy the film, too.

Director: V Yeshasvi
Writer: Ludheer Byreddy , V Yeshasvi
Release Date: February 23, 2024
Language: Telugu


Review: Directed by V Yeshasvi, Siddharth Roy is a Telugu romantic action film that marks the cinematic transition of Deepak Saroj, a beloved child artiste of yesteryear, into a leading role. Alongside Tanvi Negi and a commendable supporting cast including Nandini Yallareddy, Anand Bharathi, Kalyani Natarajan, Mathew Varghese, and others, the film weaves a compelling story of love, intellect, and emotional extremities.

Deepak Saroj's portrayal of Siddharth Roy, an idiosyncratic genius with deep-seated flaws, showcases his evolution from a child actor to a formidable presence in Tollywood. The character's journey and emotional depth draw unavoidable comparisons to Vijay Deverakonda's iconic role in Arjun Reddy, yet Saroj's performance stands out, promising a bright future in the industry.


Tanvi Negi, as Indu, captivates with her performance, blending charm and depth in her portrayal. The chemistry between the leads, particularly in their romantic sequences, is both bold and organic, underscored by strong performances from the ensemble cast.

The film's music, composed by Radhan, strikes a chord, albeit intermittently. Cinematography by Sam K Naidu enhances the visual appeal, supported by impressive production values. The editing, however, leaves room for improvement.



However, the film's narrative and screenplay falter in maintaining engagement. The repetitiveness and prolonged focus on the protagonist's extreme behaviours demand patience and a willingness to navigate through its stylistic and substantive ambitions. A more nuanced approach in the screenplay could have enhanced its appeal.

Despite its shortcomings, Siddharth Roy presents a dynamic and bold narrative that might find favour with a young audience seeking a contemporary love story infused with action and a slice-of-life elements.

Director: Rohit Shetty
Writers: Vidhi Ghodgaonkar, Abhijeet Khuman, Anusha Nandakumar
Release Date: November 1, 2024
Language: Hindi



Review: The wild ride begins as Bajirao Singham unleashes his fury in writer-director Rohit Shetty's ferocious instalment of the Singham cop universe. This time, he's on a mission to tame the terrorist Omar Hafiz's (Jackie Shroff) drug ring in Sri Lanka, led by the dreaded Danger Lanka or Zubair Hafiz (Arjun Kapoor). However, Singham also needs to rescue Avni as she’s abducted by Danger. The jungle mein dangal just got wilder.



The relentless action is wild, leaving little room for the story (by Kshitij Patwardhan) to breathe. But who's complaining when you're in it for the high-octane thrills and the posse of beasts, including Lady Singham (Deepika Padukone), Satya (Tiger Shroff), Simmba (Ranveer Singh), and Sooryavanshi (Akshay Kumar)!

Writer-director Shetty plays to the gallery, blending action with cultural revival nods to Ramayan and Kalaripayattu. The entire cast's entries are whistle-worthy, playing perfectly to the gallery. Shantanu Srivastav's dialogues pack quite a punch. Sample this: ‘Sitare aasman mein achhe lagte hain ya phir sheron ke kandhe pe.” (Stars look good in the sky or on a brave cop's uniform). However, some references to the Ramayan don't quite land and feel forced into the narrative.



The film’s production is top-notch, with Raza Mehta's stunning cinematography capturing the wild beauty of Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu. The recreation of Ramayan for the stage is a visual treat. Action directors Grant Hulley, Sunil Rodrigues, and Shetty deliver heart-pumping sequences that will keep you on the edge of your seat. However, at 144 minutes, the narrative is long and could benefit from a tighter edit.

Ajay Devgn owns the screen with his quintessential swag, taking the lion's share as a performer. However, Ranveer Singh steals the show with his razor-sharp comic timing, digging his claws into the role with hilarious lines and scenes. His mimicry of Devgn and Kumar is spot-on, and his entry injects new energy into the film. Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, and Akshay Kumar deliver short but impactful roles, while Kareena Kapoor charms as Avni. Arjun Kapoor delivers a powerful performance in his menacing antagonist avatar. The actor passes off as a worthy nemesis to Singham.

The movie is unabashedly entertaining, cheesy, and wild, with moments that will have you laughing out loud. Simmba's (Ranveer Singh) landing at a super-serious and traditional wedding in Sri Lanka while evading goons, or his interactions with Sooryavanshi (Akshay Kumar), are comedy gold.

Keep an eye out for the wild card at the end of the credits. Singham Again unleashes a high-octane blend of action and entertainment. Despite some flaws, this actioner roars.

Director: James Mangold
Writers: Jez Butterworth, John Henry Butterworth, David Koepp
Release Date: June 28, 2023
Language: English, Italian, Spanish  


REVIEW: As the curtains close on the legendary adventure franchise, 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' marks the grand finale, and it does so with a mix of excitement, nostalgia, and a tinge of sadness. Harrison Ford, reprising his iconic role as the intrepid archaeologist Indy, takes us on one last thrilling journey before bidding farewell to the character that has captivated audiences for decades.

Director James Mangold seems to have had one agenda for this installment - just capture the essence of Indiana Jones as an embodiment of adventure. And he sure doesn’t hold back in delivering action-packed escapades. From the opening moments, we are treated to a young and handsome Harrison Ford, exuding the charm and wit that made Indy an irresistible hero, battling enemies and saving precious artifacts and friends


One standout action sequence takes place aboard a train en route to Berlin, where Indy faces off against Nazis and the menacing villain Jürgen Voller, portrayed with palpable intensity by Mads Mikkelsen. The film takes us on a whirlwind global adventure, with each location used effectively as a backdrop for an adrenaline-pumping conflict. However, it is the elaborate chase scene set in Tangier, Morocco, that steals the show. It is undeniably one of the most exhilarating and jaw-dropping chase sequences in the entire Indiana Jones franchise, if not in cinematic history. The intense action exemplifies the tremendous effort put forth by the team behind the film. There is heavy use of special effects; some of it blends well while there are times when it sticks out as too fake with unnecessarily dark and dull frames. 



The period setting, against the backdrop of World War II, is meticulously crafted, immersing viewers in the atmospheric and historically rich landscape. The attention to detail in recreating the era is commendable, transporting us back in time. While the film succeeds in capturing the spirit of Indiana Jones, it is not without its flaws. The runtime feels overly long, and the screenplay often drags, dampening the overall pacing. The writing, though intricate, fails to consistently engage, leaving certain moments feeling more laborious than thrilling. Director James Mangold and his three writers (Jez Butterworth, John-Henry Butterworth and David Koepp) don’t succeed in giving us a wholesome Indiana Jones experience.

It’s quite a waste of a lot of talent as all the good performances are in service of a very mediocre and soulless script. Harrison Ford, in his farewell portrayal of Indy, exudes charisma and carries the weight of the film with ease. Phoebe Waller-Bridge shines as Helena Shaw, Indy's goddaughter complementing his adventurous spirit. Mads Mikkelsen is lethal as Jürgen Voller, a highly motivated former Nazi also hired by NASA. Antonio Banderas is good as Indy's trusted and reliable friend, while young talent Ethann Isidore leaves a mark.

'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' may not be the franchise's pinnacle, but tries hard to bid a fitting farewell to this beloved series. Despite its flaws, it deserves recognition for its commitment to delivering an adventure of a lifetime.

Director: David Fincher
Writer: Alexis Nolent, Luc Jacamon, Andrew Kevin Walker
Release date: November 10, 2023
Language: English


Review: Based on Alexis Nolent and Lucky Jacamon’s French graphic novel of the same name, director David Fincher serves an engrossing neo-noir experience that requires your complete attention to revel in its impressive nuances and layers. The movie sits strangely yet marvellously between a slow-burn and a high-octane actioner. And with that quality, it’s a subversive outing in this genre. The tonality here is mostly languid, but the narrative is loaded with stunning and sleek visual appeal. 



What strikes one is how the treatment is in sync with the unnamed hitman’s (Michael Fassbender) psyche. His rituals are tediously repetitive, his moods are intense, and his worldview is bleak. But right when it starts to seem a bit heavy, he unleashes merciless and masterful action and assassinations. The actor delivers both with finesse that few who return after a four-year gap (after X-Men: Dark Phoenix) can manage. You can feel his ruthlessness when he says, “My process is purely logistical,” or “Empathy is weakness. Weakness is vulnerability,” yet he goes on a manhunt across the Dominican Republic, New Orleans, Miami, New York, and Chicago after his girlfriend Magdala’s (Sophie Charlotte) attackers.

Fassbender is joined by an able cast, including Charles Parnell as his handler and lawyer Hodges, Kelly O’Malley as Dolores, and Tilda Swinton as the Expert. The tense face-off between Fassbender and Swinton deserves mention.




It’s not every day that you encounter the story of an assassin, but one of the finest aspects of the movie is how it integrates daily foibles — from references to a co-working space to how easy it is to copy key fobs thanks to online shopping or consumerism in general. The film lacks the depth and finesse of Fincher’s other works, such as Fight Club and Se7en, nor is it a fast-paced thriller. However, the quiet confidence, impactful lines, dark philosophies such as ‘fate is a placebo,’ and Erik Messerschmidt’s cinematography will keep you enthralled. All this is enhanced by a soundtrack that includes Portished’s ‘Glory Box’ and The Smiths’ tracks.

Fincher’s craft is on display here as you may not find yourself on the edge of your seat, but your mind will be constantly engaged. This is one of those movies that won’t need you to power through the slowness, even though it does seem a bit odd intermittently.

Review: Move over, Jackie Chan. Head to the back of the class, Matt Damon’s – now, honestly very yawn-inducing – Jason Bourne. Sylvester Stallone and Arnie, you are both legends and you both finally have a worthy successor. Pure action films, in this case revenge-action as a sub-genre, as this kind of movie is meant to be straightforward and to be digested by anyone whether they are ten years old or 50. Jason Statham is now the DUDE of unabashed, no-holds-barred action films. Despite the staid title like ‘mechanic’ and a plot line that is as simple as can be, Statham pulls punches – literally – like we haven’t seen in any action film this year. Okay, to be fair, at least not yet.





Statham, over the course of the many years that he has been in action cinema, seems to have honed his art to a fine level. For even a seasoned critic or a cynic looking for points to poke about, there are none in the performance that he delivers when it comes to brute action. Count the bullet shots that he fires from his 9mm with a silencer attached; he changes magazines after the chamber clicks empty. So much for realism. The plot of this film, as mentioned earlier, is simple enough for a toddler to fathom. But action junkies will get their mainline fix with this one.

And does he find redemption with his held-hostage girlfriend (Alba looks awesome, by the way) at the end of it? Go see and find out. Kick-ass action delivered here. Recommended for action lovers.
