Border 2 (2026) 73% EDIT “Ugh.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% EDIT “Lynne Ramsay wants you, the viewer, to get down in the grass on all fours with Grace, to jump into a pool at a kid’s birthday party, to run headfirst through a glass door, and then arrive at your own conclusions.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “Josh Safdie is very obviously not interested in preaching a lesson on morality. He only wants you to have fun, your adrenaline jacked up, like in a haunted house caught in the middle of a tornado.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos (2026) 50% EDIT “This is almost a good film. I laud the naked ambition to be a Naked Gun, and hope there is more where this came from.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Jan 21, 2026 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% EDIT “A constant bombardment of danger leaves little breathing room. Everything feels perilous all the time, which makes for intense viewing, but also breeds so much exhaustion.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Christmas Karma (2025) 24% EDIT “Sauceless.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Dec 19, 2025 Full Review Dhurandhar (2025) 42% EDIT “You best believe something nefarious is afoot when the film chooses to end with: "Yeh naya Hindustan hai. Yeh ghar mein ghusega bhi, aur maarega bhi."” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Dec 7, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% EDIT “Johnson attempts to rationalise faith to whatever extent is possible.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Bison (2025) EDIT “Mari Selvaraj tries to take his film where the audience is. He wants to show people a side of life in India that moviegoers don’t usually see in flashy cinema. So he presents it in a visual language most people understand.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Oct 21, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% EDIT “Jazz musician Nala Sinephro’s soundtrack beautifully enhances the contradictions between Mark’s inner and outer worlds.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari (2025) 20% EDIT “Has little to no narrative grip. Performances from lead actors Janhavi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan fail to grasp your fancy. The most I cared about was Rohit Saraf because that beard looks great.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Oct 6, 2025 Full Review Kantara: A Legend - Chapter 1 (2025) 85% EDIT “As the film expands in scale, its narrative structure rapidly goes haywire. Too many short stories and subplots are piled on top of each other in quick succession, and the screenplay sways further and further away from the film’s philosophy.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Oct 6, 2025 Full Review The Voice of Hind Rajab (2025) 95% EDIT “Kaouther Ben Hania wants you to bear witness. The horror of the day, of this very evening, is so immense that her camera doesn’t even need to visit the site of the murders for us to fully comprehend it.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Palestine 36 (2025) 100% EDIT “Palestine 36 announces itself as an act of reckoning and a reminder of the need to steadfastly place blame where it belongs. Annemarie Jacir writes and directs with clarity of purpose, supported by a powerful cast. ” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Sep 25, 2025 Full Review A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) 36% EDIT “I liked, hated, and loved this film.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Nishaanchi (2025) 64% EDIT “More than anything, Nishaanchi wants the viewer to feel its texture....Refreshingly, characters in this film do not get radicalised or thrown into action when a sister, mother or wife is assaulted/murdered. Nishaanchi is original, if not the most unusual.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Sep 25, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% EDIT “PTA’s writing explores the contradictions of what it means to exist as a complete human being with a set of beliefs.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Sep 25, 2025 Full Review Bayaan (2025) EDIT “Once a structure is established and the conflict made clear, Bayaan stumbles into predictability.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Sep 15, 2025 Full Review Param Sundari (2025) 7% EDIT “The lack of dramatic tension in Param Sundari is unfortunately not offset by dazzling dialogue or spectacular acting performances.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Sep 1, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% EDIT “A highly engaging, clever little film that, despite its familiar premise, manages to stay a step ahead of the viewer, keeping things interesting.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Coolie (2025) EDIT “Coolie adds little to culture and conversation, working largely only to encourage idolization.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Aug 15, 2025 Full Review War 2 (2025) 30% EDIT “Aside from the joy of watching two very famous actors share screen space, there is nothing new on offer here.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Son of Sardaar 2 (2025) 15% EDIT “Hilarious premises give way to outdated melodrama.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Aug 4, 2025 Full Review Dhadak 2 (2025) 63% EDIT “Almost a manifesto that hopefully will take Mari Selvaraj’s original story to a larger, Hindi-speaking audience.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Aug 4, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 87% EDIT “By the end, the laughs did become laborious.” – Sucharita Tyagi (YouTube) Jul 31, 2025 Full Review
