Synopsis – Live-action adaptation of the 2016 Disney animated film ‘Moana’. My Take – Disney’s live-action remake machine shows no signs of slowing. While the box office stumbles of The Little Mermaid (2023) and Snow White (2025) suggested the trend might finally stall, the runaway success of Lilo & Stitch (2025) proved otherwise. With Tangled already filming and a Lilo & Stitch sequel in pre-production, … Continue reading Moana (2026) Review!!
Synopsis – A grieving woman seeking solace with her in-laws, whose secluded home becomes a “family reunion from hell” as they transform into savage, fire-resistant Deadites.

Though Sam Raimi’s original trilogy — The Evil … Continue reading Evil Dead Burn (2026) Review!!
Synopsis – A father fights fiercely against ruthless kidnappers to save his abducted daughter. My Take – Every few years, an action film crashes through the gates and redraws the genre’s boundaries.

My Take – Caught in censorship limbo for nearly four years, and abruptly pulled from Zee5 in India just two days ago, barely a day after its release under a changed title, Honey Trehan’s directorial effort has long been a subject of controversy. Not simply because it revisits one of Punjab’s … Continue reading Satluj (2026) Review!!
Synopsis – Follows Baby Karmarkar, a deaf and mute contract killer and her adventures in Mumbai. My Take – While the past few weeks of social media chatter have revolved around YRF’s latest Spy Universe entry, Alpha, and more recently, its inability to rise above the clichés of the “female assassin” template, another release slipped quietly under the radar. Overshadowed yet deserving of attention, this … Continue reading Baby Do Die Do (2026) Review!!

Synopsis – Joe and Angela’s marriage is on thin ice. When they invite their enigmatic upstairs neighbors for a dinner party, the night spirals into unexpected places.

And just when it felt as though every angle … Continue reading The Invite (2026) Review!!!
Synopsis – A famous real estate agent’s life is disrupted when his eccentric little brother unexpectedly reappears. My Take – There’s a particular strain of comedy where the beats are predictable, yet the fun lies in watching them unfold anyway.

(1991), The … Continue reading Little Brother (2026) Review!!
Synopsis – The film centers on a chaotic ensemble of bumbling gangsters, ex-dons, and eccentric relatives whose paths cross during a wild, military-style cinematic setup near a border forest.

Synopsis – A dysfunctional married couple retreats to a secluded cabin to repair their relationship, but each secretly plots to murder the other. My Take – Imagine if The War of the Roses (1989), or its 2025 remake The Roses, were cranked up with so much hyper-violence that it played like grotesque slapstick. I guess that’s the exact tone this latest directorial from Jorma Taccone, … Continue reading Over Your Dead Body (2026) Review!!
Synopsis – Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick’s song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. My Take – Indeed, John Carney remains one of the most reliable filmmakers working today.

Mandlekar (Inspector Zende) reminds us that some of the most decisive battles unfold quietly, behind closed doors, far … Continue reading Governor (2026) Review!!
Synopsis – If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? My Take – Few filmmakers require less of an introduction than Steven Spielberg.
