Subedaar (2026) 64% EDIT “Subedaar fools you into watching a ‘70s-style neo-Western about corruption and caste by presenting it as a South Indian remake.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Songs of Paradise (2025) EDIT “Songs of Paradise could’ve worked as a metaphor for post-Independence Kashmir, but instead, it’s like a bedtime story for five-year-olds.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Inspector Zende (2025) 60% EDIT “Inspector Zende, the new spoof movie starring Manoj Bajpayee and Jim Sarbh, succeeds as a concept but fails in execution. What could’ve been a homegrown homage to The Naked Gun comes across as a first draft in need of clever rewrites.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Homebound (2025) 97% EDIT “Neeraj Ghaywan's moving second feature takes a daring, humanist approach to spotlighting minority communities, and how a tragedy like the COVID-19 pandemic affected them.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Param Sundari (2025) 7% EDIT “Param Sundari, the new film starring Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra, seems to make things up as it goes along.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Lokah - Chapter 1: Chandra (2025) EDIT “Lokah is let down by an inert narrative, jarring action, and inelegant world-building that includes an unnecessary detour into Kantara territory.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Nishaanchi (2025) 67% EDIT “Anurag Kashyap’s Nishaanchi: Part 1 is a welcome return to form, and the long-awaited spiritual successor to Gangs of Wasseypur that his fans have been waiting for.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Nishaanchi 2 (2025) EDIT “Nishaanchi: Part 2 features arguably the best climax that Anurag Kashyap has ever orchestrated.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari (2025) 20% EDIT “Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari is more like a sitcom written by a Dharma committee than a proper movie.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review The Girlfriend (2025) EDIT “The Girlfriend seems like a direct response to the widespread misogyny of Indian cinema, but it feels disingenuous because it stars someone who has defended that very misogyny.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Dhurandhar (2025) 37% EDIT “You cannot separate a film’s politics from its craft—you cannot separate your own politics from your opinion. Dhurandhar is vile propaganda whose influence will spread beyond even its target audience of unemployed youth and WhatsApp uncles. ” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “Undone by a lack of humour and self-awareness, poor dialogue, and incomprehensible third act action sequences, Avatar: Fire and Ash is the weakest installment of James Cameron's trilogy.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders (2025) 80% EDIT “Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders is more than just a way for director Honey Trehan to pay the rent; it's a rather daring indictment of "gunda raaj".” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Haq (2025) 71% EDIT “Riddled with harmful stereotypes and disturbingly proud of irresponsibly presenting an entire community as savages, Haq is an even more insidious propaganda piece than Dhurandhar.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Kalamkaval (2025) EDIT “Kalamkaval—the new investigative thriller in which Mammootty plays a serial killer—is a dull, dour, and deeply frustrating film.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Cactus Pears (2025) 95% EDIT “Sabar Bonda, the Marathi film that won a prestigious honour at Sundance, is either a poetic exploration of the road not taken or a pretentious try-hard desperate to feel important.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review A Match (2023) EDIT “A deftly written, confidently shot, and expertly performed psychological drama about the commodification of women.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Tere Ishk Mein (2025) 29% EDIT “A misogynist, hate-mongering pile of slop, the movie exists to validate its incel male audience’s opinions about all womankind.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Kennedy (2023) 56% EDIT “Bogged down by a baffling narrative, vague rumination about corruption and power, and long stretches of inaction, Kennedy is Anurag Kashyap's most inauthentic film in a while.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri (2025) 8% EDIT “Does Croatia even know what it has gotten itself into by inviting the Kartik Aaryans of the world to visit?” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Accused (2026) 23% EDIT “Accused, the tone-deaf "feminist" film on Netflix, is the equivalent of Neha Dhupia going "It’s her choice" on Roadies.” – The Long Take Podcast Mar 5, 2026 Full Review Highest 2 Lowest (2025) 83% EDIT “Watching Washington in his element is one of the greatest joys in all of mainstream American filmmaking. It’s like being yelled at by Wagner Moura, or inhaling the smoke of Tony Leung’s cigarette.” – The Indian Express Sep 9, 2025 Full Review Maareesan (2025) EDIT “Starring Fahadh Faasil and Vadivelu, the Tamil-language film Maareesan gaslights you into giving a thumbs-up to a mass murdering maniac.” – The Indian Express Sep 1, 2025 Full Review Maa (2025) 14% EDIT “In case you didn’t know killing babies is wrong, Kajol’s movie is here to educate you; phew.” – The Indian Express Sep 1, 2025 Full Review The Map That Leads to You (2025) 38% EDIT “The Map that Leads to You ends exactly how you imagine it would. It all makes very little sense, and the pathos feels unearned. But if momentary catharsis is what you’re after, it might be just the fix you need.” – The Indian Express Sep 1, 2025 Full Review
