MOVIE REVIEW NEWS

Am I OK? movie review: Dakota Johnson washes away the stench of her recent superhero misfire Madame Web by returning to her roots with a charming Sundance dramedy, available in India on JioCinema.

Little Hearts movie review: Right from the beginning, the Shane Nigam-Mahima Nambiar starrer attempts to present itself as a simple and rooted film, but these efforts fall flat soon due to the overuse of clichés.

Satyabhama movie review: Satyabhama is a film that has predictable twists and turns and has incorporated some aspects we have seen in earlier cop films. However, having Kajal Aggarwal at its centre makes it a tad more interesting.

Weapon movie review: Watching Weapon was like reading Wikipedia pages of Marvel superheroes and going on a rabbit hole clicking the hyperlinks.

Blackout, starring Vikrant Massey, Anant Vijay Joshi, Sunil Grover, Mouni Roy, Chhaya Kadam, Jisshu Sengupta and Ruhani Singh, makes you wonder if anyone involved in this enterprise knows anything from anything: a premise also needs execution.

Munjya movie review: Munjya, the latest in Dinesh Vijan's horror universe, loses an opportunity to have created a truly original bad boy whose rancid desire for an older girl keeps it alive all these decades.

Under Paris movie review: What if a monstrous shark found its way into the river Seine in Paris? That's the harebrained premise that the new Netflix action film unabashedly dives into.

Even as aging stars Will Smith and Martin Lawrence -- who team up for the fourth time as buddy cops -- infuse the narrative with their energy, the action-comedy offers few surprises.

What makes Fast Charlie better is Marcie (a very, very good Morena Baccharin), in what is essentially a tagged-on role as the ex-wife of one of the killed gangsters. In Baccharin’s hands, and her warm eyes and enigmatic smile, the film goes beyond a ’90s mob flick to promise its two main leads a future.

Gaurdan movie review: RS Senthikumar's film, in essence, is a reiteration of the Karnan story from Mahabharata, only here the underdog friend is not blinded by loyalty.

The Strangers Chapter 1 movie review: If the ‘how much torture will they endure’ bit you may have seen before, Strangers: Chapter 1 comes from even more familiar territory.

Mr and Mrs Mahi movie review: Janhvi Kapoor-Rajkummar Rao film gives us a rom-com nestled in India’s favourite sports, which in turn is nestled in the tropes of the family-entertainer movie.

Mandakini movie review: One positive aspect of the Althaf Salim, Anarkali Marikar-starrer is its balanced portrayal of male and female characters and their camaraderie, giving equal importance and screen time to both groups.

Thalavan movie review: Jis Joy's film suffers from poorly crafted dialogues, a weak script that fails to elevate the film and abrupt shifts in tone between a police procedural and a crime thriller that detract from the overall experience.

Bhaiyya Ji movie review: One wishes one can say Manoj Bajpayee does his role credit. Before that, he has to give himself some credit. And here, he just doesn't.

Atlas movie review: Starring Jennifer Lopez, the science-fiction action film is visually incoherent, limited in ambition, and lacking any real redeeming qualities.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is a colossal bore. All the crashing and banging, the fleet of odd-bods, including masked creatures wearing strange uniforms, the convoys criss-crossing the desert pockmarked with caves and cliffs, is just a lot of noise, signifying less than nothing.

Turbo movie review: Even as the script drags on endlessly, Vysakh's movie is predominantly salvaged by Mammootty's no-holds-barred performance, operating in top gear, complemented by Raj B Shetty's remarkable presence as the villain.

Jaggi movie review: A punishing experience, MUBI's Punjab-set drama also offers vital commentary on repressed emotions and toxic masculinity.

It can be hard to keep track of how exactly each character is tied to the larger aim of keeping the Catholic French royalty safe against the Protestant rebels, but every time Milady appears on the screen, you are not really thinking of God.

IF movie review:  Having made the two mostly well-received A Quiet Place films, John Krasinski has turned to the busiest place of them all: the human mind.

Guruvayoor Ambalanadayil movie review: The most impressive aspect of the Vipin Das directorial is the on-screen chemistry between Prithviraj Sukumaran and Basil Joseph, who set the screen ablaze whenever they appear together with their remarkable handling of humour.

While the Boy and the Heron got this year's Best Animated Feature at the Oscars, it isn't the best of Miyazaki. There are just too many characters, in the real world and the one Mahito has tumbled into, that Miyazaki has juggling.
