Hotel Mumbai isn’t cheap or exploitative in its recreation of the tragedy. Yet it never goes beyond the obvious.

Panipat, a film about Maratha warrior Sadashiv Rao Bhau who staves off Afghan ruler Ahmad Shah Abdali, disappoints only because of a linear screenplay that fails to rouse dramatic emotions so important to historicals.

Pati, Patni Aur Woh is the remake of the 1978 film of the same name. Directed by Mudassar Aziz, the film banks upon Kartik Aaryan’s image and his brand of tier 2 city comedy.

In a very roundabout, over-simplistic way, the film is actually progressive. Thank you for small mercies. Plenty laughs are guaranteed.

'Panipat' ultimately is overlong and unwieldly. Filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker can’t seem to recreate the magic of his finest films.

Jumanji The Next Level stars Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Karen Gillan, Awkwafina and Nick Jonas in pivotal roles.

Vishal Jethwa as the villain of the piece is quite a find. He performs exceedingly well as the psychotic mercenary-on-hire with no redeeming qualities.

'Mardaani 2' holds up a mirror to our times when crimes against women are an unfortunate reality. Read our full review of the latest Bollywood film below.

'6 Underground' has in-excess action which makes it a must watch on Netflix. Read our full review of the latest Hollywood film below.

Overall, while the film is mega-mounted and technically impressive. It does not offer anything that's new and exciting. Read our full review of 'Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker' below.

Dabangg 3 review: The challenge to a popular movie franchise like Dabangg is that it requires novelty and sameness in equal parts and the team does get its balance right.

Even if you’re not a hardcore fan, there’s enough visual wizardry to keep you entertained for the duration of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker's running time.

An urbane comedy with the fresh subject of a pregnancy switcheroo, 'Good Newwz' may well be the family entertainer that city slickers opt for this weekend. Read our full review of the latest Bollywood film below.

Kareena Kapoor deserves special mention for rooting her character in believability. There's a lot to enjoy in the film despite its bumps. Not a bad way to end the year.

Ghost Stories is experimental but not overwhelming. The directors have tied individual short films together with good production value and vision.

Sab Kushal Mangal Movie Review: The film does have a few redeeming features but it is unlikely to make the list of memorable comedies in Hindi cinema. A pity really, for a good comedy, would have been the perfect way to kick off the New Year.

Deepika Padukone blends into Malti seamlessly, the star, rarely surfacing and director Meghna Gulzar constructs the balance with a seasoned hand. Read our full review of 'Chhapaak' below.

Tanhaji Movie Review: Ajay Devgn and Saif Ali Khan ensure that the viewers get enough dose of high-voltage dialogues, along with fascinating action scenes.

The film is both moving and important. And its leading lady is in very fine form. Read our full review of 'Chhapaak' below.

'Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior' speaks directly to our hyper-nationalistic climate. The history is dubious, the politics problematic. Read our full review of the latest Bollywood film below.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood Movie Review: The movie is among those rare films of post-truth era that makes you believe that good people do exist-- even among television hosts.

Though there are some funny one-liners but they aren’t capable of sustaining our interest for long. Navjot Gulati’s film must have looked better on paper.

'1917' is a visually wondrous experience. It’s also emotional and moving in parts. Read our full review of the Hollywood film below.

Kangana Ranaut gets out of her comfort zone in director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari's Panga and delivers a stunning performance. Here's our movie review.

Varun Dhawan and Shradha Kapoor's dance film struggles at crucial junctures. Here's our movie review of Remo D'Souza's Street Dancer 3D.

The film’s big success is in delivering its message without making a big noise about it. Panga is all about its little moments. It’s a film about love disguised as a sports-movie.

Given its Modern Familyesque tilt, Saif Ali Khan, Tabu and Alaya F starrer Jawaani Jaaneman seems poised to score well with the old-in-the-tooth as well as the young at heart city slickers!

A proper character sketch of Malala Yousafzai never really happens over Gul Makai's runtime of around 130 minutes, and the life story of the film's titular protagonist remains a shallow sideshow in her own biopic.

In Jawaani Jaaneman, Saif Ali Khan is in good form once again, but saddled with the kind of material he knows inside out.

There are moments that bristle with discomfort. Particularly a scene in which the wealthy couple discuss how the poor smell.

Malang starts with Disha Patani emerging out of the sea a la Ursula Andress and goes on to track the party scene in the city.

Shikara resembles a painting, a work of art with Rangarajan Ramabadran’s delicate cinematography accompanied by excellent production and costume design.

The world of Malang is dark and twisted, and Mohit Suri depicts the beach state as a Wasseypur-like badlands with rampant drug use.

Makers of 'Birds of Prey' are trying to free the protagonist Harley Quinn once and for all from her ex-boyfriend, the Joker, and plant her firmly within a girl gang. Read our full review of the latest Hollywood film below.

To All the Boys I Have Loved Before was a guilty pleasure you'd turn to every time you wanted to take a break from the regular sci-fi films and mafia thrillers. But To All The Boys 2 PS: I Still Love You doesn't fit here.

Imtiaz Ali'sLove Aaj Kal’s reprised version of the same theme of love across different generations starring Kartik Aaryan, Sara Ali Khan, Randeep Hooda and Aarushi Sharmais disappointing.

Love Aaj Kal 2.0, if you like, is largely contrived and superficial. It’s a love story in search of a conflict. Read our full review of the latest Bollywood film below.

The gay characters are self-respecting men dead against the idea of marrying a woman out of convenience. Parental denial is also addressed head-on, and frowned upon using clap-trap dialogues.

Thanks to Vicky Kaushal and the screenplay, Bhoot serves the basic demands but it never rises beyond the obvious.

If one were to rewind a bit, we have had Dostana, which introduced the idea of two brawny men as a pretend gay couple and the hilarity it would induce.

Taapsee Pannu and Anubhav Sinha's Thappad is a rousing soul search, raising the question again and again, till it forces an answer.

Thappad isn’t a film about a wife teaching her husband not to take her for granted. It’s about a woman rediscovering her sense of self, contemplating what is fair and what isn’t.

A foreign locale, bone-crunching scenes one after another and piling up choppers, instead of cars, do not make Baaghi 3 an entertaining film.

Tiger Shroff, who is the star attraction of the 'Baaghi' films, is in reliably good form as the third installment hangs by a thread off its leading man’s strong shoulders.

'Guilty' boasts of some fine performances by the cast -- Kiara Advani, particularly, deserves mention. But the actors are weighed down by mediocre storytelling and the film is a wasted attempt.

Irrfan, despite a difficult phase of illness just before the film’s shooting began, puts forward a stellar performance, absolutely convincing as the loving father.

It’s not a new concept as the personal versus professional has spawned many ideas but most of the time, they work because of their intensity, which Maska lacks.

Quite like the romantic fate of its protagonists, 'Love Wedding Repeat' is riddled with too many missed opportunities, preventing the audiences from falling in love with the film.

The best thing about the movie is that one does not have to know about the politics of the countries Sergio served, and this includes his last assignment as the UN Special Representative in Baghdad.

Sam Hargrave, stunt coordinator of Captain America-Civil War and Avengers-Endgame, faces the dilemma of choosing between hardcore action and emotional support till Chris Hemsworth decides to go all out.
