Dream Girl (2019) 46% EDIT “Khurrana's crossdressing gimmicks in Dream Girl are laudable in a sense, but nothing about it feels ingenious or even path-breaking. In fact, it's possibly the actor's crassest film yet, which makes it a mainstream reckoner.” – Firstpost Jan 26, 2024 Full Review Jawan (2023) 89% EDIT “At times this sandy earth subsumes the peculiar nature of edgy stories, at other times its languid, unornamented baseline allows characters to hold onto something raw.” – Firstpost Jan 26, 2024 Full Review Refugee (2000) EDIT “In JP Dutta’s Refugee, the desert is another pattern-less expanse of land that can only really be comprehended through love and loss.” – Firstpost Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Border (1997) EDIT “In J P Dutta’s Border, a sand-covered, invisible border becomes the site of a brave conquest. Men must surpass invisible lines to vouch for both, the motherland and their own self-worth.” – Firstpost Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Parched (2015) 87% EDIT “In a land so vast and without obstruction, the only echoes you might hear are of your imagination. Your voice on the other hand may never make it across the weather-beaten earth.” – Firstpost Jan 25, 2024 Full Review The Mourner (1993) EDIT “In Amol Palekar’s Paheli, we return to the eeriness of Rudaali, immersing ourselves into the folklore that makes the region casually exhibit both whimsy and tomfoolery. ” – Firstpost Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Thar (2022) 63% EDIT “It’s possibly the shrivelled nature of the earth that evens out, what humanity can’t in spirit and soul. It’s why women of the desert, feel emboldened by its precariousness.” – Firstpost Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Boston Strangler (2023) 67% EDIT “Matt Ruskin’s film dials down on fetishizing murderous men to tell the story of women who might just see them for who they really are.” – Firstpost Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Babylon (2022) 57% EDIT “Babylon isn't all bust, or even unwatchable, it is just overlong, overindulgent with nary a care...” – Firstpost Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) 85% EDIT “...quirky, mischievous and authentic...” – Firstpost Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) 91% EDIT “it is worth revisiting the audacity and playfulness that has set the franchise apart from the rest.” – Firstpost Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Dahan (2018) EDIT “Every direction the wind blows in is thus observed and recorded with caution, a sense of protection and ultimately violence.” – Firstpost Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Fire in the Mountains (2021) 90% EDIT “A single woman tending to many challenges might be the anchor of Ajitpal Singh’s film, but it is really contextualised by the women who flank her.” – Firstpost Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Satyaprem Ki Katha (2023) 63% EDIT “Kiara Advani has boldly gone where few actresses of her ilk would, without divorcing the mainstream’s language. It gives us the opportunity to imagine for boldness and brevity, that which we have imagined for romance and beauty.” – Firstpost Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Carry on Jatta 3 (2023) EDIT “Distinct by design and language, both narratives showcase wildly different emotional subsets and social anxieties, making each worth its while.” – Firstpost Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Oh My God 2 (2023) 77% EDIT “Flanking sexuality with faith is a space most storytellers would rather avoid, but it is precisely what makes OMG 2’s messaging universal.” – Firstpost Jan 24, 2024 Full Review Qala (2022) 80% EDIT “Anvita Dutt's film is a poignant, if familiar, story about artistic merit and the gendered pursuit of both affection and excellence.” – Firstpost Jan 23, 2024 Full Review
