Movie Review: Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata

You think that delivering a baby is difficult and painful? Of course, it is. Now imagine, rushing towards the labour room in full term with energy running in negatives, amidst heavy firing and grenade attacks by the terrorists. Bleeding, about to faint, delivering your baby under the mobile phone torch lights. If you have an option to save your life in a terrorist attack or stay back to save everyone around you, that could also mean dying any moment with a bullet piercing you. What would you choose? If your Humane Quotient is in the right number, you would stay back, without thinking about the consequences. But it is easier said than done. Bharat Bhaggya Viddhaata shows the story of such ordinary, yet extraordinary Indians as Cama Hospital Nursing and supporting staff who stood like a rock between the bullets and their patients. Watch it for its story, performances, and a tight screenplay. Don’t worry about the box office performance of the movie.

Movie Review: Jurassic World Rebirth

As a long-time fan of the Jurassic Park/World series, I was excited to watch Jurassic World Rebirth on the big screen. While I enjoyed the dinosaur thrills and a few edge-of-the-seat moments, the storyline felt repetitive and predictable, once again featuring a greedy corporation, an expedition team, a forbidden island, and a survival race after things go wrong.

Movie Review: Sitaare Zameen Par - Sabka Apna Apna Normal

A remake of the 2018 Spanish film Champions, the story follows Gulshan (Aamir Khan), an assistant basketball coach who, after a drunken hit-and-run incident, is sentenced to coach a team of neurodivergent players. Though reluctant at first, he learns to appreciate their unique strengths, with help from the facility manager, Kartar Paaji (Gurpal Singh). The film challenges the notion of “normal” and redefines what it means to win.

Movie Review: I Want To Talk

Abhishek Bachchan delivers yet another deeply impactful performance. For those who have written him off, perhaps you're measuring an actor’s success solely by box office numbers. But if you value range, conviction, and memorable portrayals, Abhishek Bachchan is a fantastic actor. The film is based on a real-life figure - Arjun Sen (a fact I only learned after the movie ended) - a man who underwent nearly 20 life-altering, often life-threatening, surgeries. You’ll understand the full weight of this line once you watch the film. Why did he endure so much pain, one surgery after another? This movie tries to answer that, quietly and powerfully.
