'Fighter' Review: Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone soar in this aerial actioner
In 1986, a film about a pilot who is given a second chance to redeem himself took the world by storm. Tom Cruise’s Top Gun set the benchmark for what an aerial action film involving planes should look like. Many tried to duplicate the formula but nothing came close to the original, until 2022, when Cruise made a comeback in a refurbished version of the franchise.

What happens when three award-winning filmmakers collaborate for an anthology film? The result is often challenging to decipher. Either one film shines, enhancing the others, or they all falter.

‘Bastar The Naxal Story’ Review: Sensational, oversimplified film with no nuance
Monday, 22 Apr 2024
A man, in a remote village, speaks against how the villagers do not need intervention from Salwa Judum, a group formed to help villagers against Maoists. He hardly finishes singing the National Anthem when he, along with the villagers, is taken captive.
It probably had been 15 minutes into ‘Bastar: The Naxal Story’, when, amid exaggerated acting (or rather overacting), this man is hacked to death in the most graphical way possible.

‘Crew’ Review: Tabu, Kareena and Kriti’s film flies high, lands safely
Monday, 22 Apr 2024
One of the most-awaited films of the month, 'Crew', is now running in theatres. Featuring Tabu, Kareena Kapoor, and Kriti Sanon in the lead, the film promises a fun-filled ride, with a few turbulences.
Imagine, three women have seemingly glamorous jobs as air hostesses but can barely manage their lives due to lack of money. They finally find a way to get out of the situation, but that involves risk. When they have a brush with the authorities, they re-think their ways and pull up a never-seen-before heist. All this served with a good dose of fun, genuine sisterhood and a lot of sexiness. Now, that’s what makes a good popcorn-binge drama, doesn’t it?
