Nirvana Inn Review: A Class Act In Which Adil Hussain Does A Stunning Job

Entertainment | Saibal Chatterjee | Wednesday December 9, 2020

Nirvana Inn Review: The two key actresses - Rajshri Deshpande is seductive, Sandhya Mridul is chirpy and cheerful until circumstances overtake her - are flawless foils for Adil Hussain.

Bhaag Beanie Bhaag Review: It's Swara Bhasker's Show All The Way

Entertainment | Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday December 5, 2020

Bhaag Beanie Bhaag Review: Swara Bhasker, who drives the show, gets the pitch of her performance just right.

Mank Movie Review: Led By Gary Oldman, David Fincher's Period Drama Recreates Old Hollywood

Entertainment | Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday December 5, 2020

Mank Movie Review: Gary Oldman is 62. In 1940, Herman J. Mankiewicz was 33. It is fascinating to watch the veteran actor pull off the role of a man half his age.

Tenet Review: Christopher Nolan's Mind-Bender Is A Grand Tour De Force

Entertainment | Saibal Chatterjee | Friday December 4, 2020

Tenet Review: John David Washington carries the weight of the film. Robert Pattinson plays second fiddle without letting himself be put in the shade. Dimple Kapadia makes an impact that is just as strong.

Sons Of The Soil Review: Unscripted Documentary Is Unusual Fare

Entertainment | Saibal Chatterjee | Friday December 4, 2020

Sons Of The Soil Review: Abhishek Bachchan serves as the principal narrator of the series. The boys of Jaipur Pink Panthers are in awe of him. It is a collision of two dissimilar, if not opposing, worlds.

Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives Review: It's Anything But Fabulous

Entertainment | Saibal Chatterjee | Saturday November 28, 2020

Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives Review: It does not offer any meaningful glimpses into lives of the stars and their families in an exacting, unforgiving movie industry where those with the right surnames are like cats.

Mane No 13 Review: Banal Horror-Thriller Is Unadulterated Hogwash

Entertainment | Saibal Chatterjee | Friday November 27, 2020

Mane No 13 Review: A house of horrors that the writer-director Vivy Kathiresan and his actors have a free run of.

Anwar Ka Ajab Kissa Review: Nawazuddin Siddiqui Is Brilliant In Parable Of Pain

Entertainment | Saibal Chatterjee | Friday November 20, 2020

Anwar Ka Ajab Kissa Review: Nawazuddin's interpretation of a man who darts back and forth between earnestness and resignation and Buddhadeb Dasgupta's mastery over the medium make it a must watch.

Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari Review: With Manoj Bajpayee And Diljit Dosanjh's Buoyant Performances, It Is Mildly Chucklesome

Entertainment | Saibal Chatterjee | Sunday November 15, 2020

Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari Review: The film falls way short of realising its full potential as a romantic comedy with genre-defying ambitions.

Chhalaang Review: Starring Rajkummar Rao, It Is A Leap That Is All Over The Place

Entertainment | Saibal Chatterjee | Friday November 13, 2020

Chhalaang Review: Chhalaang is enlivened by Satish Kaushik, Saurabh Shukla and Baljinder Kaur. Nushrratt Bharuccha has what looks like a meaty role.

Ludo Review: Screwball Comedy Starring Abhishek Bachchan Is Delightfully Peppy

Entertainment | Saibal Chatterjee | Thursday November 12, 2020

Ludo Review: Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra, Pearle Maaney, Shalini Vatsa and the young Inayat Verma, who are all in their elements all of the time - add range, depth and colour to the field.

Sir Review: The Tale Is Enhanced By The Quality Of Tillotama S德扑圈apphome And Vivek Gomber's Performances

Entertainment | Saibal Chatterjee | Thursday November 12, 2020

Sir Review: Tillotama S德扑圈apphome and Vivek Gomber help the film sustain its purposefully understated tone even when the conflict points are at their sharpest.

Laxmii Movie Review: A Dreadful Dud, Starring A Hammy Akshay Kumar

Entertainment | Saibal Chatterjee | Tuesday November 10, 2020

Laxmii Movie Review: The acting is pedestrian but why fault the actors? They are as helpless as the audience, trapped in a bizarre storyline overrun by excess.

Kaali Khuhi Review: On The Watchability Meter, It Just About Passes Muster

Entertainment | Saibal Chatterjee | Friday October 30, 2020

Kaali Khuhi Review: Shabana Azmi leads the cast with a customary air of ity. The support she receives from Leela Samson, Sanjeeda Sheikh and Riva Arorais laudably steady.

Taish Review: Far From Perfect But Thrills And Engages In Equal Measure

Entertainment | Saibal Chatterjee | Thursday October 29, 2020

Taish Review: The script gives Harshvardhan Rane, Jim Sarbh and Pulkit Samrat equal weightage but none is reduced to a flat character type - they etch out deeply flawed men.
