#Yomeddine (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23Yomeddine) is an Egyptian film about a man afflicted with leprosy. But isn’t just a film about leprosy. It features an actor, #RadyGamal (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23RadyGamal) , who has the condition. It’s heartbreaking. But Gamal and the director A. B. Shawky don’t want your pity. Instead with gentleness and humor, they persuade you to look beyond the obvious. Listen #AnupamaChopra (https://www.youtube.com/results?...

#OnceUponATimeInHollywood is a many splendored thing. It’s dazzling and meandering, brilliant and indulgent, sparkling but also stretched. It’s also a showcase for outsized, old-school stardom, with #BradPitt and #LeonardoDiCaprio delivering terrific performances. Listen #AnupamaChopra review the ninth film of #QuentinTarantino

Ash Is Purest White is the first Jia Zhangke film to release theatrically in India. First, let’s just take a moment to celebrate that. The Chinese director is one of the world’s most acclaimed storytellers. #MartinScorsese (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23MartinScorsese) described his cinema as ‘the finest, toughest, most vitally alive work in modern moviemaking.’ Jia Zhangke’s films are a precise record of the sweeping social and economic forces that have shaped China in the las...

#KhandaaniShafakhana wants to deliver a serious message about the importance of being open about sex – so entire scenes play out like public service announcements, in which characters espouse the cause. The film puts too much pressure on #SonakshiSinha. She is in almost every frame of the film. We see her in close-up – literally and figuratively. Here's Anupama Chopra's review.

#ArjunPatiala is designed as a spoof. #DiljitDosanjh has a simplicity and sweetness that connects whether he is playing a superhero or a cop. His comic timing is impeccable but even Diljit can’t salvage the train-wreck that is Arjun Patiala. Here's Anupama Chopra's review.

#TheLionKing is visually stunning. Director Jon Favreau said that the attempt was to make an animated film feel like a live-action film. #ShahRukh and #Aryan are well cast. Shah Rukh’s voice of course has a wonderful familiarity. Aryan’s voice is introduced when Simba grows up and he sounds so much like his father. Listen to the review by #AnupamaChopra to know more.

RAW stands for Romeo Akbar Walter – three names of the same man, played by John Abraham. John’s most successful films put to good use his overpowering physicality – shoulders that stretch for miles and biceps that seem to burst out of sleeves. The opening sequence landed a solid punch and my hopes were raised. This material had the potential to be a suspenseful espionage drama.

Hair might mostly be made up of dead cells but it is such an essential part of our vanity that this is a horror we can’t imagine. Which is why hair loss is a multi-billion dollar industry around the globe. And why the story of Enakshi, a young bald girl in Siliguri, instantly grabs you. #gonekesh #shwetatripathi #qasimkhallow

Junglee is an eco-message film that begins with the famous quote by Thomas Schmidt – No one in the world needs an elephant tusk but an elephant. The intentions and sentiments are admirable. The narrative is mostly designed to serve Vidyut. The actor has an impressive physique and Chuck creates ample scenes to showcase it. Undoubtedly, Vidyut carries off the action sequences, which he also helped create, with conviction. #Junglee #ChuckRussell #VidyutJammwal

Kesari is a story so astounding that if it wasn’t true, you would never believe it. In September 1897, 21 soldiers of the 36th Sikh regiment of the British army fought valiantly against more than 10,000 Afghans. Using single-loading rifles, they kept the enemy at bay for hours ensuring that they didn’t succeed in their plan to take over two key British forts in the North West Frontier Province. The Battle of Saragarhi is known as one of the greatest last stands in military history. Kesari’s main...
