Shubhra Gupta

Paatal Lok 2 review: The show is sharper and better as it returns after 5 years, sticking to its combination of a police procedural, the inner lives of its denizens, and compulsions of the outer world.

Emergency movie review: In a preposterous sequence, Manekshaw, Indira and the members of the Parliament join in a song. Not even Kangana Ranaut's undoubted competence as an actor can save it.

Azaad movie review: Why are such films still being made in 2025? And is Abhishek Kapoor, who made the terrific ‘Kai Po Che’ and ‘Rock On’, really the director of this mothballed exercise?

The Roshans review: As this is like an authorised biography, you will find only fulsome praise of Roshans. You wonder what the show -- brimming with talking heads and snippets -- would have been like if other points of view were included

Sky Force Movie Review and Rating: Sky Force, coasting on the same elements as Fighter, except this one is a thinly-disguised account of a real life incident during the 1965 Indo-Pak conflict.

Ramayana The Legend Of Prince Rama movie review: The advantage of animation is that it obviates the need to balance the tricky connections between real-life actors and their epic counter-parts in a revered-down-the-ages text.

Hisaab Barabar movie review: R Madhavan looks older than he should for his role, but he is never unwatchable.
