This film was originally going to be a salman khan movie. Hence the cringe can be understood. But karan johar took it a many notches higher. Desecration of classic songs, zero chemistry between lead pair, forced on-screen smooches, people bursting into songs without any context, and the gyaan...The budget is huge, and ranveer and aamir bashir play their parts well. Rest of the cast hams it up like anything. Even shabana azmi lets her hair down and hams it up. It was a sight to behold though, when alia cane on screen. She looked gorgeous. Salman did a cringey film in the 90s, sanam bewafa. Imagine karan johar making it. This is kinda that, without the trauma part.

One of the boldest yet most sensitive series on Indian ott yet. Don't let the newly conservative reviewers fool you. This series is as state-of-the-art as so many other murder mystery bbc productions out there. Almost every actor understood the assignment well and enacted great. The story hits the shoddy value and conservative system out of the park. Consent, morality and evilness are woven in a tangled web. Even the supposed victim can be pure evil. Even the supposed evil can be merely a victim himself. Such questions are superbly raised and the viewer is left to ponder. Scenery, cinematography, performances, everything is top notch. No sex scenes to titilate. Just tragedies unfolding on your screen.

What could had been a sweeping adventure like back to the future or zathura, is reduced to same thing happening over and over and over again for more than 2 hours. Its not as complex as it aims to be, neither its as engaging. To please the me-she-you audience, it throws some propaganda and lgbt gimmicks too, which adds nothing to the fray. Michelle Yeo and Ke Huay Quan are wasted. This is neither a time travel adventure, neither a time loop incident, and neither it is a miltiverse movie. Its too self-indulgent to be called any of these. Maybe someone from the team of jumanji or zathura or goosebumps or night at the museum should have handled this.
