Ballad of a Small Player
(2025)

It’s a visually sumptuous experience — dazzling yet emotionally distant.

Hedda
(2025)
|
Abhishek Srivastava
|
While the film remains engaging, it struggles to fully build tension and succeeds only in parts. But full marks to Nia DaCosta, as she doesn’t just adapt Henrik Ibsen’s play—she reinterprets it through a queer lens.

It’s weird, wild, and not meant to be fully understood — but it’s definitely hard to look away from.

With strong performances, meticulous period detail, and careful storytelling, the film invites viewers to reflect on power, influence, and the consequences of ambition.

The Tenant
(2021)
|
Dhaval Roy
|
The Tenant is a matter-of-fact take on feminism and avoids intense dialogue-baazi to make a case for women. Its appeal also lies in the heart-warming tale of friendship.

Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat
(2025)
|
Archika Khurana
|
For audiences drawn to raw emotion, vintage-style romance, and the smouldering chemistry of two charismatic leads, the film offers moments worth holding onto. But for others, it remains a one-time watch to revive memories of the bygone era.

A Nice Indian Boy
(2024)
|
Abhishek Srivastava

For anyone interested in a culturally nuanced love story that feels real and heartfelt, it’s worth watching. But if you prefer bold storytelling or surprises at every turn, this one might feel a bit safe.

Culpa nuestra

Caught Stealing
(2025)
|
Ronak Kotecha
|
It may not rank among Aronofsky’s most profound works, but it’s an engrossing, unpredictable watch that keeps you invested till the end — a messy, adrenaline-charged portrait of survival in its purest form.

Ufff Yeh Siyapaa

With a tighter runtime and more taut editing, the film could have transcended its inventive premise into something truly remarkable. Still, its audacity and ambition make it worthy of appreciation.

The Lost Bus
(2025)
|
Abhishek Srivastava
|
This is not a glossy disaster film but a story told with grit and compassion, shaped around ordinary people caught in a nightmare. Greengrass avoids spectacle for its own sake and focuses on the fragile line between panic and resilience.

Play Dirty

The Strangers: Chapter 2
(2025)

The scares are predictable and there’s nothing here that hasn’t been done in countless horror films before. There’s no innovation, no standout moment, and no unique twist to justify its existence.

Crayon Shin-chan the Movie: Super Magnificent! Scorching Kasukabe Dancers
(2025)

Ultimately, Shin-chan: The Spicy Kasukabe Dancers is far from perfect — too slight for a feature film, too reliant on stereotypes — but it’s heartfelt, entertaining, and unexpectedly meaningful.

One Battle After Another
(2025)

Ronak Kotecha

This chaotic drama is one of the year’s more interesting films. It asks for patience, and while not always neat or decisive, its standout performances, striking visuals and risky emotional core make it a sort of a cinematic revolution.

Dangerous Animals
(2025)

As a hybrid of survival thriller and creature feature, it offers guilty-pleasure thrills and a handful of effective scares, but lacks the consistency to become memorable.

Homebound

Homebound raises many questions. How did we get here? What has made us so bereft of empathy and compassion? A soul-stirring observation of a world growing cold, this is filmmaking at its finest.

HIM
(2025)
|
Abhishek Srivastava
|
While the premise is interesting, the story often feels confusing, and the emotions don’t always connect. The film wants to be tense, thought-provoking, and visually striking all at once, but it rarely achieves all three.

Afterburn
(2025)
|
Abhishek Srivastava
|
‘Afterburn’ doesn’t break new ground and offers a mediocre, rowdy, fast-moving ride with just a few standout action scenes. It’s the sort of movie that fills two hours with noise, heat, and spectacle but is gone from memory as soon as the lights come up.

Small Things Like These

The Long Walk
(2025)

Renuka Vyavahare

With democracies turning dictatorial and the world facing economic crises, this film’s relevance goes beyond the surface. Witnessing this journey, which is open to interpretation, is as gruelling and intense for the audience as it is for the participants.

The Conjuring: Last Rites
(2025)

Overloaded with ambition, the uneven pacing may not rob its tension, but it makes the experience more exhausting than terrifying. At 2 hours and 15 minutes, the final instalment feels bogged down by its heavy-handed emotional drama.

Highest 2 Lowest
(2025)

Abhishek Srivastava

While ‘Highest 2 Lowest’ doesn’t match Kurosawa’s original, it’s a bold, modern reimagining that speaks to today’s audiences, balancing thrilling storytelling with a heartfelt nod to its roots and a vivid love letter to New York’s soul.
