CRD (2016) |
A most unusual film, the cryptically titled CRD can be best described as a montage of scenes that range from being hilarious, profane, and outright goofy. It would be tough to bring such a film to life if not for the stellar performances. - The Times of India

Bioscopewala (2018) |
Debutant filmmaker Deb Medhekar has quite skilfully adapted Tagore's classic story for the screen. He has weaved an emotionally rich spectacle in the form of Bioscopewala about the bond between fathers and daughters. - The Times of India

Shimla Mirchi (2020) |
There are only a handful of chuckle-worthy scenes that make an appearance only in the second half. The first half is just a very long and dull build-up to a predictable climax. - The Times of India

Mortal Engines (2018) |
Instead of trying to find balance, the filmmaker could have stuck with the spirit of the book, which already has a legion of fans...while you're dazzled by the stunning visual effects, you don't really connect with the characters. - The Times of India

Robin Hood (2018) |
While the filmmakers have kept enough room for a sequel, producer Leonardo DiCaprio will have to be one brave guy to make a second film. He'd much rather get better writers and consider another reboot. - The Times of India

Air Strike (2018) |
With a shoddy edit and a poor storyline, the only reason to watch the film is for its elaborate fight action sequences. Besides that, there's nothing more to look forward to in this uninspiring World War II drama. - The Times of India

5 Weddings (2018) |
The chemistry between Nargis and Rajkummar is unconvincing. While easily Rajkummar pulls off his role as a cop who is torn between his love and his work, Nargis doesn't bring much to the table. - The Times of India

Omertà (2018) |
The director has not invested much into how Omar plans his complex actions or what drove him to such abhorrence. So while Mehta gets the mood right, and Rajkummar works wonders with his limited material, Omerta fails to stir you emotionally. - The Times of India

Subedar Joginder Singh (2018) |
The fact that the filmmaker has introduced innocent humour in the film in both the army and civilian life is commendable, though the effort does seems a bit naive and stretched at times...But as far as Indian war films go, the effects are superior. - The Times of India

Nanu Ki Jaanu (2018) |
