Carax returns with his bucket of unusual cinematic elements after nine long years. His diverse canvas once again blooms with Annette, which isn't any different from previous ventures. Annette possesses everything one wouldn't anticipate in a feature, it's a perfect blend of satire, surrealism, melody and pretentiousness.
Pumped by exuberant colours and eccentric nuances, Carax blurs the thin line between madness and sanity and through choruses presents an absurd critique on parenting much like Eraserhead alongside the excoriating commentary on…

Joji is an authentic anecdote of avarice and ambition of a part megalomaniac and a part malevolent. Technically sound and aided by a bewildering screenplay, Joji is nothing short of a modern-day classic, which inescapably warrants a second watch for Fahadh's impenetrable performance if not anything else.

Nayakan is the third gangster movie from India apart from GoW and Satya that has deeply touched me. Though heavily inspired from The Godfather, the movie has it's own essence and journey.
Kamal Hassan's Brando-esque performance is surely the highlight of the movie and is by far one of the best acts of Indian cinema.Delivering nuances and rage of youth, adulthood, and old age with so ease ain't everyone's cup of tea. The movie is also backed by a soulful…

Navdeep Singh's debut feature is one of the best detective thriller of Bollywood.Inspired by Polanski's Chinatown,the movie never fails to keep it's audience hooked with its twist and turns.The cinematography captures the outskirts of Rajasthan beautifully.
Abhay Deol gives his career best performance.Raima Sen and Vinay Pathak are brilliant in their respective roles.Nawaz almost outshines everyone and makes his presence felt in the limited screentime.

Shanghai is one of those rare Bollywood movies that is unpretentious in its depiction of the subject matter. The movie delves into the dirty politics of India and gives us an insight of the very nature of politicians in a bold and gritty way and is very much relevant in the current political scenario of India.

GoW is about Vengeance, blind ambition and greed between competing godfathers in the mining towns of Wasseypur and Dhanbad. With a running time of over five hours, the volume packs up action and drama in Wasseypur through generation after generation.
The vicious cycle of violence, ambition and love is masterfully portrayed in this epic!The mix of ultra-violence and humour is spot on. These criminals aren't trained hit men, and their bumbling nature, at the tensest of…

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind
