  • Crazxy: A One-Man Psychological Thriller That Keeps You on Edge

    Crazxy: A One-Man Psychological Thriller That Keeps You on Edge

    Crazxy is a gripping psychological drama with a bold, original storyline — powered by a tour de force performance from Sohum Shah, the genius behind Ship of Theseus and Tumbbad! Full credit to him for pushing boundaries and delivering a thriller that’s truly different.

    Dr. Abhimanyu Sood’s world collapses when his daughter is kidnapped, setting off a race against time that reveals his deeply flawed character. The film’s tension builds brilliantly through persistent phone calls , Amitabh Bachchan ringtones, and a pulsating background score that never lets you catch your breath.

    The film’s standout scene? Dr. Sood multitasking in a high-stress moment – simultaneously guiding a junior colleague through emergency surgery while directing the kidnapper to calm his daughter, all while fixing a punctured tire! Shah’s performance here perfectly captures a man barely holding it together. Totally chaotic, nerve-wracking, and absolutely brilliant.

    Speaking of performances, Shah carries the entire film on his shoulders with incredible intensity, making you feel every bit of his frustration and desperation. Special shoutouts to the legends like Tinnu Anand and Piyush Mishra that keep the momentum going. (And yes, the fold phone  and the Range Rover  totally deserve their own credits!)

    Though occasionally losing momentum, “Crazxy” remains largely unpredictable and edgy throughout. While a few additional characters or plot twists might have enhanced the experience, Shah’s commitment to the solo-protagonist approach delivers a unique thriller experience.

    Crazxy Watch it for a raw, edgy thriller that dares to be different!

  • Bawaal – When Hitler Saves A Failing Marriage!

    Bawaal – When Hitler Saves A Failing Marriage!

    Bawaal – When Hitler Saves A Failing Marriage!

    Bawaal is an interesting attempt where a couple in troubled marriage discover love over a World War 2 honeymoon trip. Arjun is a highly image-conscious and fake braggart who treats his intelligent, pretty and talented wife Nisha like a piece of dirt. Arjun invites trouble at his school job and finds a novel way to change the narrative. Nisha accompanies her and during the European trip covering Holocaust, Arjun realises his follies. 

    The story of a rustic uncivilised man redeemed by a brilliant and wise woman is an interesting take and explored before. The movie fails to build on a great premise. And zero marks for the attitude towards Epilepsy….

    The attempt to infuse Holocaust is a brave attempt but it fails…especially dialogues like – Every relationship goes through their Auschwitz. Or reducing Hitler’s evil to greed. Expect a big roasting here for the movie!

    Varun Dhawan is class apart and is the highlight of the movie. He is effortless and impressive. The supporting cast is wonderful. But Janhvi Kapoor fails to exploit the great character. 

    Bawaal has wonderful music and smart dialogues. Trust Dangal’s Nitesh Tiwary for a great movie but he could have done much much better!

    Bawaal is a decent one time watch – Watch it for Varun Dhawan!

    Modern Love Hyderabad: Baingan Ka Bataan? Nau..Lekin Mazza Nahin Aaya!

    Modern Love Hyderabad: Baingan Ka Bataan? Nau..Lekin Mazza Nahin Aaya!

    Formulaic Fare That Does Not Impress!

    Hyderabad is a city with a special magic! The city of pearls is lovingly progressive and its golden hearted people welcomingly share the love for food, cinema and culture. The Hyderabadi lingo, IT transformation, culinary delights and overall warmth stay on….

    An anthology celebrating Nawabi city, cuisine & kiraak Ishq deserves to be much much better! Especially when Hyderabad Blues’ Nagesh Kukonoor paints the multiple shades of Love & muse Hyderabad!

    What is love? Billion definitions for a universal emotion. Is love letting go? Should you wait for love to discover you? Is love unconditional? Modern Love Hyderabad gives a few perspectives.

    Six stories. Six angles. All celebrate love and successfully keep Hyderabad at the centre of it. All the interpretations have strong women protagonists – unique, emotional, vulnerable yet very impressive and steadfast.

    ‘My Unlikely Pandemic Dream Partner’ is the best of the lot with Revathy and Nithya killing it. Perfect partners can drift apart. A mother wants space from her child. Cool!

    ‘How To Find Your Penguin’ is interestingly creative and brave. Komalee Prasad manages to carry the bizarre idea of a microbiologist comparing men to animals and birds. It again lacks depth and falls short….

    ‘Why Did She Leave Me There?’ is an heart-wrenching emotional drama showing unconditional love means letting go…

    ‘What Clown Wrote The Script’ is fresh and promises great potential…but does not carry through…

    Purple Stilettoes can ruin a purple patch…’Fuzzy, purple and full of thorns’ is a story with relatable couple and Ritu Varma in form but script falls short.

    ‘About that Rustle in the Bushes’ is predictable…

    Modern Love Hyderabad is a soothing, warm and predictable love series with happy endings and nice music. It keeps Hyderabad at the centre of it but it is not as brave as Modern Love Mumbai. M M Keeravani’s theme music and songs are really awesome! Director Nagesh could have done better!

    Let’s see what Modern Love Chennai brings….The best would be to green light Modern Love Sangli, Modern Love Rajkot, Modern Love Bokaro, Modern Love Rohtak, Modern Love Baramulla – What say?

    Modern Love Season 1 remains the topnotch fare. Crème de la crème! Watch it first before anything else!

  • Gulabo Sitabo Review – A Crumbling Effort!

    Gulabo Sitabo Review – A Crumbling Effort!

    India’s first big brand movie to go direct on a digital streaming platform is an average fare. 

    Juhi Chaturvedi & Shoojit Sircar’s have a history of amazing movies – Vicky Donor, Piku and October. But Gulabo Sitabo falls short. 

    Fatima Mahal is the protagonist of the movie – a dilapidated and forgotten ruin with rich history and past glory. Amitabh and Ayushmann, loggerheads with each other, share a common love for the mansion. Both excel in portraying the flawed characters – emotions, mannerisms and insecurities. Excellent supporting cast with special mention for Shrishti Srivastava – out-spoken and unapologetic! 

    Love the slice of life of Lucknow! Amazing writing, humorous anecdotes, great cinematography and nice direction. But the film is slow and stretched and crumbles like the toilet wall of the falling mansion! Can watch it or can miss it! 

    Wise decision to release on digital platform – movie is not for mainstream multiplexes!
