Movie Review: AKIRA (Bollywood Action Thriller)
I watched AKIRA in the theatre some two weeks back and since then I’ve been trying to find some time to write about this. Directed by the south master AR Murugadoss, who had also previously directed content-driven movies like Ghajini (2008) and Holiday, ‘Akira’ is yet another addition to his unique touch in the craft […]
THE SHALLOWS (2016) – Might Give Chills To Surfers
American survival thriller THE SHALLOWS has many things that will give you a chilling experience and will even remind you of Steven Spielberg’s 1975 film Jaws. In the recent past, we have not watched many good sea survival thrillers. Leaving aside Jaws, Renny Harlin’s Deep Blue Sea (1999), and the 2003-released psychological horror drama Open […]
PINK (2016) – Movie Review
PINK, directed by Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury, is one of the best message-driven films to come out of the Hindi film industry. Given the prevalence of rape, sexual harassment, and numerous cases of female harassment across the country, ‘PINK’ sheds light on our psyche and the reality of our society.

Tere Naam (2003) – One of Salman Khan’s best performances
I’ve been trying to review some good Hindi films recently, and today I’ve chosen Tere Naam, which is regarded as one of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s best performances.

Kill Command (2016) – Movie Review
Is this made on a tiny budget? Well, Steven Gomez in his directorial debut made this watchable sci-fi film Kill Command with a very simple storyline.

Korean movie Montage inspires Hindi film TE3N
I have always been a big fan of Korean cinema, particularly those in the romantic and thriller genres. On the other side, movies in Indian cinema are more in the category of masala with music and wholesome entertainment. So, whenever I hear about some thriller or horror in Indian cinema, I tend to dig more […]
Movies on Netflix that are based on books
No matter whether we’re movie buffs or bookworms, great stories inspire and entertain us to the fullest, and at times the experience stays with us forever. However, many a time we as book lovers don’t like the onscreen interpretation of certain stories and hence become concerned about their translation to the big screen. Nevertheless, you […]
The Conjuring 2 – James Wan is Back (Movie Review)
James Wan’s The Conjuring film franchise in its second installment seems pretty good when you anticipate horror movies with typical jump-scares. Taking the huge success of the 2013 released film, the sequel introduces you to some new characters in a familiar haunted house story but with a much more elaborate and loud setting.
