Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya review: The premise is solid, and in between all the preachiness, there's an attempt to showcase the difficulties faced by over-burdened and underfunded sarkari institutions.

Musafir Cafe review: Vikrant Massey as Chander tries his best to be believable, and he really does come close to it. Mahima Makwana as the steady third wheel is commendable too.

Max, Min & Meowzaki review: Sidharth Menon is a constant presence, and does well as the coming-of-age young man. It is Adil Hussain, as the man who takes the longest, most difficult steps towards self-awareness, who holds this film.

Bhai Tera Star Hai movie review: Raghav Juyal is let down by a gormless script which doesn’t know quite what to do with its ensemble after a point.

The industry is filled with filmmakers who are capable of telling stories with heart and craft, layered with technical polish, but in an ecosystem so blatantly inimical to liberalism and plurality, those voices are going unheard

Ohh My Dog movie review: When the film stays with the furry four-legged creatures, it is eminently watchable. What makes these dogs different are that they are your non-pedigreed dogs with the streeties resilience and never-die-spirit.

Operation Safed Sagar review: A rousing, moving tribute to our armed forces, Operation Safed Sagar is drama minus melodrama, toplining patriotism not jingoism. It made my eyes well up, and chest swell with pride.

Reacher Season 4 Review: The most watched series on Prime returns with a humdinger of a season and its invincible hero who is always the last man standing.

Awarapan 2 movie review: Emraan Hashmi film sails along coasting on some eye-catching, snazzy sequences. We enjoy this outing with our brave anti-hero until the film falls into a long, dull third act.

Batwara 1947 review: The message is loud and clear: no religion is evil, only humans are; nafrat can be conquered through pyaar, siyasat se mazhab ko na milao; and above all, maanvata se bada koi dharam nahin. But they come as a listicle, instead of making you feel.
