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.

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.

Parking Movie Review: In the initial moments of Parking, we see a young couple moving into a new house as tenants, making friends with the existing tenant, settling down in the new place and just looking forward to an exciting phase in their lives. The husband, Eshwar (Harish Kalyan), has an IT job, and the wife, Aadhika (Indhuja) is expecting a baby. They have a love-filled relationship, and Eshwar would do anything to keep his wife happy. Their neighbour, Ilamparuthi (MS Bhaskar), a government official who is just a year away from retirement, is your typical old-timer. He'd rather repair a faulty appliance at his home than buying a new one, go on a two-wheeler under the hot sun than buy a car, and save as much money as possible to marry off his daughter. As they go about their daily routine, director Ramkumar Balakrishnan presents that as just life unfolding right in front of our eyes. It is just the kind of beginning that makes a viewer sit up and look forward to what comes next.

And that comes in the form of a conflict about parking space. The duplex house has parking space that can fit a car and a two-wheeler. While Eshwar buys a car so that the pregnant Aadhika can travel in comfort for her checkups, for Ilamparuthi, it's a source of mild annoyance (initially, at least) as he has to give up the space that he has been enjoying for the past 10 years. Given his giant-sized ego and Eshwar's quick temper and sharp tongue, conflicts around this parking space lead to a war of words that escalates to an ugly place from where there seems to be no going back for these two men.

Even though Parking is in the space of a domestic drama, Ramkumar Balakrishnan narrates it in the tone of a thriller, ratcheting up the thrills, with help from Philomin Raj's sharp editing and Sam CS's suspenseful background score. Agreed the structure of the film does bring to mind the films of the late Malayalam filmmaker Sachy, but the director pushes this tale into much darker territory, making us feel wistful at what a hurt ego can do to seemingly nice individuals.

The rock-solid performances of the cast adds not only realism but also an the edge to this tale. Playing a character who we might come across when we step out of our homes, MS Bhaskar is just outstanding, displaying a range of dark emotions - indignation, envy, misplaced righteousness, anger, and cold-bloodedness. There are moments when a glance sends a chill down our spine. On the other end, Harish Kalyan manages to match up to this, capturing the hot-headedness of Eshwar, his hurt and his shame. Indhuja and Rama, who play the wives, and Prathana Nathan, as MS Bhaskar's daughter, who is put in an extreme moral quandary by her father, are equally effective.

The relentless of this battle of egos does become a bit exhausting towards the end, and despite its relatively short duration, we do get the feeling that the film could have been shorter by 10 minutes. But this is a minor complaint against a film that is terrific from start to finish.

The Mummy Review: Tom Cruise manages to stay fit at the age of 54 because he spends a lot of time running in his action movies. He also endures copious amounts of physical abuse, ranging from getting beaten up to thrown around; all for our viewing pleasure, while he gets a hefty paycheck in return. It's a fair trade for the most part - these are popcorn blockbusters that are mindless fun, and everyone is reasonably entertained. So it's hardly a shocker that Cruise ends up going through his tried and tested 'Mission Impossible' motions in ‘The Mummy’.

Unfortunately, the entertainment value in this franchise-building reboot is thinly spread, leaving you feeling deprived if not cheated. This is a shoddy stab at merging action, mythology, horror and comedy resulting in conflicting tonality. Even the occasionally surprising, massive set pieces with elements flying at you in 3D, are interspersed between two-dimensional characters who exist merely to cater to movie tropes.

Cruise’s protagonist is his version of a lovable rogue, in the same vein as Indiana Jones, making some seriously questionable decisions throughout the movie. Annabelle Wallis wanders around as the damsel-in-distress in need of constant rescuing. Russell Crowe hams it up as a Nick Fury-ish leader with ambiguous motives spewing campy exposition. There’s even the sidekick (Jack Johnson) whose weary sense of humour brings out eye-rolls, amongst even more exposition. If there’s one character your eyes will be glued to, it’s Sophia Boutella. Adequately mesmerising as Ahmanet a.k.a. the mummy, she transitions from a creepy, violent monster to a seductive goddess with ease, but her impact is reduced by the screen time devoted to convincing us of Cruise and Wallis’ love angle, even though that’s devoid of any chemistry.

There’s enough gruesome eye candy, and in-your-face action to enjoy in ‘The Mummy’ if you ignore the plot holes and frustrating characters. But the first entry in Universal Pictures’ monster franchise comes across as a desperate attempt by the studio to capitalise on Hollywood’s current world-building frenzy. The amount of effort taken to construct the inevitable sequels is staggering. Admittedly, there's been some intrigue since we saw the heavily photoshopped picture of Cruise, Boutella and Crowe alongside Johnny Depp and Javier Bardem promising a lot more from the ‘Dark Universe’. But in the absence of quality writing, gripping plots and characters to truly care about, perhaps some monsters are best left buried.

Language: English

Review: ‘Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story’ is a heartfelt documentary that dives deep into the life of the beloved actor who portrayed Superman on-screen and embodied resilience off-screen. Directors Ian Bonhôte and Peter Ettedgui craft a moving narrative that interweaves Reeve’s rise to stardom with his devastating horseback riding accident in 1995, which left him paralysed. The film balances his extraordinary public life and the intimate, personal moments shared by his children, wife Dana Reeve, and close friends.

The documentary’s emotional depth is driven by interviews with Reeve’s family, including his children, Alexandra, Matthew, and Will Reeve, who reflect on the day of the accident and the profound changes it brought to their lives. Gae Exton, Reeve’s former partner and mother of two of his children, also provides rare insights into their relationship. However, Dana Reeve, his wife and steadfast caregiver, emerges as a quiet hero. Her unwavering support and compassion offer a touching reminder of the true power of love and resilience. The inclusion of home videos adds an intimate layer, showcasing the strength of their family bond even through adversity.

While Reeve’s accident was a defining moment, the film doesn’t dwell solely on the tragedy. Instead, it celebrates his journey from being a Hollywood superstar to becoming a fierce advocate for spinal cord injury research and disability rights. The use of Reeve’s own voice, narrating from his audiobook Still Me, adds a deeply personal touch, reminding viewers of his indomitable spirit.

Visually, the film blends archival footage, rare behind-the-scenes clips of Reeve’s Superman, and innovative CGI to symbolise his paralysis through the metaphor of Kryptonite—a clever nod to his most famous role. The animated sequences depicting Reeve as a superhero confronting his own vulnerabilities are a creative highlight.

The documentary also features candid interviews with Reeve’s close friends, including Glenn Close, Susan Sarandon, and Jeff Daniels. Their stories—especially those about his friendships with fellow Juilliard classmates like Robin Williams—reveal a multifaceted Reeve, one who was both humble and deeply ambitious.

Despite the sombre tone, Super/Manis ultimately an uplifting film. It reinforces the idea that heroism isn’t about superhuman powers but about perseverance, empathy, and overcoming life’s greatest challenges. Christopher and Dana Reeve embodied these values, and their legacy continues through their children and the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.

While the documentary may leave some viewers wanting to know more about Reeve’s pre-accident career or more details about his family relationships, it succeeds in portraying the essence of his character. This is a touching tribute to a man who, despite unimaginable hardship, found the strength to inspire others.
