The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023) Kshitij Rawat The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes? More like Ballad of Yawns & Snore.

The Marvels (2023) Kshitij Rawat It's been more than 4 years since the original, and it's like they're trying to decide if it's a gourmet meal or a fast-food combo. At 105 minutes, it's one of Marvel's shortest films, but don't let that fool you. Short doesn't always mean sweet.

Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) Kshitij Rawat In the end, Killers of the Flower Moon, for all its flaws, is a moving, devastating, and utterly tremendous piece of cinema that demands attention and reflection.

The Exorcist: Believer (2023) Kshitij Rawat David Gordon Green's ill-fated attempt to rekindle the eerie brilliance of William Friedkin's 1973 masterpiece, The Exorcist, has culminated in a cinematic blunder of biblical proportions with The Exorcist: Believer.

Joy Ride (2023) Kshitij Rawat Joy Ride takes audiences on an uproarious expedition into the wild, offering an irresistible blend of risqué humour and unexpected revelations.

Saw X (2023) Kshitij Rawat If you find yourself, like me, a fanatic of the series, I implore you to rush to your nearest theatre at this very instant.

A Haunting in Venice (2023) Kshitij Rawat A Haunting in Venice works as both a compelling, if a little predictable, mystery, and also as a pretty good horror film.
Posted Sep 15, 2023  Edit critic review
Asteroid City (2023) Kshitij Rawat Anderson continues to be a cinematic tour de force, and Asteroid City stands as a shining example of his ability to transport us to places that exist at the crossroads of imagination and reality.
Posted Aug 25, 2023  Edit critic review
Blue Beetle (2023) Kshitij Rawat DC's latest, is a mostly entertaining, low-stakes romp that is a refreshing anomaly in an overstuffed genre.
Posted Aug 18, 2023  Edit critic review
Brightwood (2022) Kshitij Rawat Clocking in at 84 minutes, it retains its momentum, never outstaying its welcome. Despite its seemingly straightforward premise, Brightwood constantly surprises.
Posted Aug 17, 2023  Edit critic review
Oh My God 2 (2023) Kshitij Rawat OMG 2 is a lot of fun. It manages to strike a nice and delicate balance between dealing with a serious issue and delivering moments of genuine laughter and heartfelt emotions.
Posted Aug 11, 2023  Edit critic review
Talk to Me (2023) Kshitij Rawat Talk to Me's unsettling atmosphere and uncanny visuals will leave you on edge throughout, and its clever, sparing use of effects adds to the authenticity of the supernatural stuff. This film will not just scare you, it will chill you to the bone.

Meg 2: The Trench (2023) Kshitij Rawat If somebody bought tickets to this movie, they came to see a fun giant shark movie. And a fun giant shark movie is what they are going to get in Meg 2: The Trench. There is a scene where Statham takes on sharks all by his lonesome. It's glorious.
Posted Aug 04, 2023  Edit critic review
Oppenheimer (2023) Kshitij Rawat Despite its lengthy runtime, Oppenheimer remains a gripping exploration of ethics and human choices, standing as one of Christopher Nolan's finest works.
Posted Jul 21, 2023  Edit critic review
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) Kshitij Rawat It is quite depressing to witness the once-promising momentum of Dial of Destiny falter under the weight of convoluted storytelling choices. What could have been a remarkable and satisfying adventure becomes diluted by a lack of focus.
Posted Jun 30, 2023  Edit critic review
The Flash (2023) Kshitij Rawat In the end, The Flash triumphs through its ability to connect emotionally and deliver moments of genuine humour. These elements, coupled with impressive action, make it a worthwhile watch.
Posted Jun 14, 2023  Edit critic review
The Little Mermaid (2023) Kshitij Rawat While the original The Little Mermaid dazzled with its beautifully imaginative underwater kingdom and talking sea creatures, Rob Marshall's remake is a soulless cash grab utterly devoid of any hint of charm of visual whimsy
Posted May 26, 2023  Edit critic review
Fast X (2023) Kshitij Rawat Fast X is better than F9, but that is like saying you prefer a stubbed toe to a broken leg. In both cases, you are longing for relief.
Posted May 18, 2023  Edit critic review
Air (2023) Kshitij Rawat While Air is an undeniable celebration of Nike and Air Jordans and many might see it as a feature-length advertisement, it is a superbly-made film featuring exceptional performances.
Posted May 11, 2023  Edit critic review
Evil Dead Rise (2023) Kshitij Rawat The best part about Evil Dead Rise is that it is a very typical Evil Dead movie. Minus Bruce Campbell's middle-aged, witty presence as Ash, the film does feel like it has been directed by Sam Raimi.
Posted Apr 21, 2023  Edit critic review
The Pope's Exorcist (2023) Kshitij Rawat Russell Crowe brings humour, gravitas in an otherwise mediocre horror film.
Posted Apr 07, 2023  Edit critic review
The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) Kshitij Rawat The Super Mario Bros. Movie brings the vibrant world of the popular video game franchise to life on the big screen. However, the thinly written plot and lacklustre dialogue make it clear that this movie was made more for fans than general audience.
Posted Apr 07, 2023  Edit critic review
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) Kshitij Rawat John Wick shoots, smashes, slams, stabs, cuts, slashes, and nunchucks his way through countless hordes and hordes of goons. The action is brutal and beautiful, and on a whole new level in John Wick 4.
Posted Mar 24, 2023  Edit critic review
Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023) Kshitij Rawat Shazam! Fury of the Gods is not a bad movie. Despite its flaws, it had enough humour and heart for me, and I enjoyed it. But keep in mind that it is a huge downgrade from the original. The effortless charm that was there is missing here.
Posted Mar 17, 2023  Edit critic review
Creed III (2023) Kshitij Rawat It helps that Jordan has an actor of Majors' calibre at his disposal. The actor plays the role with an eternal shiftiness, the broad and yet false smiles, the resentment simmering beneath the grinning façade if one really cares to look.
Posted Mar 03, 2023  Edit critic review
Cocaine Bear (2023) Kshitij Rawat Savagely funny, this black comedy will leave you with a high.
Posted Feb 24, 2023  Edit critic review
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) Kshitij Rawat Formulaic and forgettable, Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania is a dud.
Posted Feb 17, 2023  Edit critic review
The Woman King (2022) Kshitij Rawat ...as a piece of entertainment, The Woman King works very well. The action is extremely well-staged and is visceral and brutal and endlessly fun.
Posted Feb 03, 2023  Edit critic review
Shotgun Wedding (2023) Kshitij Rawat Jennifer Lopez lights up this diverting, fun romantic comedy.
Posted Jan 27, 2023  Edit critic review
The Pale Blue Eye (2022) Kshitij Rawat It's smart and well done and features one of the best one-on-one scenes I've had the pleasure to watch in a while.
Posted Jan 06, 2023  Edit critic review
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) Kshitij Rawat 'Glass Onion' is a delicious murder mystery in which Rian Johnson once again gives that cosy feeling of Christie's tales, and at the same time gives his own subversive touch.

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) Kshitij Rawat Visually gorgeous, James Cameron's film repeats the original's mistakes.
Posted Dec 21, 2022  Edit critic review
Emancipation (2022) Kshitij Rawat 'Emancipation' is neither pacey nor interesting enough to be a good action movie, it does have anything new to say about the nature of slavery and, well, emancipation, to be a good slave drama.
Posted Dec 09, 2022  Edit critic review
Lady Chatterley's Lover (2022) Kshitij Rawat Emma Corrin, who shone in the difficult role of Princes Diana in 'The Crown', is absolutely magnetic and lovely as Constance.
Posted Dec 03, 2022  Edit critic review
Qala (2022) Kshitij Rawat Qala' is an absolute visual feast. Whether it is the snowy, desolate landscapes of a hamlet in the Himalayan foothills, or the interiors of a recording studio, the images are crafted with the precision of a surgeon by Siddharth Diwan.
Posted Dec 03, 2022  Edit critic review
Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022) Kshitij Rawat Halina Reijn's 'Bodies Bodies Bodies' is one of the most satisfying and funny slasher thrillers you will see this year.
Posted Nov 25, 2022  Edit critic review
Strange World (2022) Kshitij Rawat Visually inventive, this Disney film is let down by its predictable plot.
Posted Nov 25, 2022  Edit critic review
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) Kshitij Rawat This return to Wakanda is indeed a beautifully elegiac and emotional homage to Boseman, but it does not quite succeed at being a worthy sequel to the original.
Posted Nov 11, 2022  Edit critic review
Enola Holmes 2 (2022) Kshitij Rawat Brown essays Enola with unrelenting sass and energy. She is, once again, an absolute delight to watch. Her asides from the camera could have seemed forced, but her twinkling eyes and expressive face sell them.
Posted Nov 05, 2022  Edit critic review
Black Adam (2022) Kshitij Rawat 'Black Adam' is certainly worth watching once on the big screen. The action alone would be enough to satisfy most fans of comic-book movies. However, the film has a few serious flaws that stop me from recommending it to discerning film aficionados.
Posted Oct 21, 2022  Edit critic review
Halloween Ends (2022) Kshitij Rawat It is the thematically-rich storytelling that makes 'Halloween Ends' truly special. Making a film that is supposed to end an iconic horror-thriller franchise character-driven? It doesn't get ballsier than that.
Posted Oct 14, 2022  Edit critic review
Werewolf by Night (2022) Kshitij Rawat The 50-odd minutes pass in a jiffy. I would have appreciated the feature length even more. More weird, crazy comic-book adaptations like this, please.
Posted Oct 08, 2022  Edit critic review
Where the Crawdads Sing (2022) Kshitij Rawat 'Where the Crawdads Sing' is just a handsome-looking and well-acted movie that, thanks to a shoddy screenplay and direction, is an absolute chore to sit through
Posted Sep 16, 2022  Edit critic review
Brahmāstra Part One: Shiva (2022) Kshitij Rawat The writing is fine as far as the world-building goes, but the dialogues sink the movie. You have to expect poor writing when you're going to watch a big-budget Hindi film. It's a given at this point. But even by that standards, 'Brahmastra' is terrible.
Posted Sep 14, 2022  Edit critic review
Nope (2022) Kshitij Rawat 'Nope' is an exhilarating experience that should not be missed by sci-fi or horror fans.
Posted Aug 20, 2022  Edit critic review
Laal Singh Chaddha (2022) Kshitij Rawat 'Laal Singh Chaddha' is a pale imitation of 'Forrest Gump'. Despite individual brilliance at times, it is more 'Dull Singh Chaddha'.
Posted Aug 13, 2022  Edit critic review
Day Shift (2022) Kshitij Rawat ...even after all that, the movie did not have the decency to be short. No. it had to be nearly hours long.
Posted Aug 13, 2022  Edit critic review
Good Luck Jerry (2022) Kshitij Rawat 'Good Luck Jerry' does have all the usual trappings of a Hindi movie, and gets overly sentimental at the strangest of times. But more often than not, it treats its subject matter blithely and is an entertaining, family-friendly ride.
Posted Jul 30, 2022  Edit critic review
Persuasion (2022) Kshitij Rawat A solemn story of a woman getting her life back on track after years of longing and regret is turned into a romantic comedy, its pensive heroine Anne turned into Phoebe Waller-Bridge's 'Fleabag' with her eye-rolls and her fourth-wall-breaking.
Posted Jul 16, 2022  Edit critic review
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) Kshitij Rawat There was no way Taika Waititi was going to meet sky-high expectations he set with 2017's 'Thor: Ragnarok'. And he does fall way, way short with 'Thor: Love and Thunder'. But the film is not just disappointing, it is also a complete mess.
