Some stories stay with you no matter how long ago you read them. For me, “Not Without My Daughter” by Betty Mahmoody is that story. I read it when I was in high school and have never revisited it as it’s just too painful. But I can recall everything about...
For the unbiased audience, Chhapaak is a beautiful visual-story that highlights the vulnerability of the human body and the resiliency of the human soul
With excellent performances, exciting 3D visuals and groovy background score that mixes hip-hop and old school funk, the film is an entertaining package
Besides the on-point writing and direction, individual performances of the actors add to the already strong script. Akshay proves again why he’s the most bankable actor in the industry

The book focuses more on the repercussions of the crime, in terms of the impact it has on the family of the victim, rather than on the crime itself
Despite being a ‘mindless comedy’, the film’s screenplay is so loose it can’t hold the story together. To make matters worse, the plot’s super-slow
Phoebe Morgan’s second psychological thriller, ‘The Girl Next Door’, received fantastic reviews, just like her debut novel ‘The Doll House’ that was published in 2018. And rightly so because Morgan’s writing is gripping, characters believable, and she...
As the movie progresses with a lazy screenplay and even worse acting, the audience is nothing but dumfounded at the lack of creativity in this big banner film. Directed by Milap Zaveri, Marjaavaan is literally a 90s movie, probably written for Sunil Shetty...
