Title : #BadCop Rating: * * *

Breezy thriller framed around an outdated Bollywoodian ‘twins’ concept this not-so-original series is a massy entertainer & has its tense heart-in-your-mouth moments too.Action may not be edgy, VFX and CGI are shoddy, but there’s a dark, chill factor here not found in recent OTT series. #AdityaDatt infuses energy into this directorial, making the viewing experience quite worthy.#AnuragKashyap #GulshanDevaiah #HarleenSethi keep the faith.

Yet another propaganda film with deleted scenes, disclaimer& blurred sound prompted by the Court and the censors, this film fails to sound legit because it is obviously targeting one community. Poor pacing, ridiculous sermonising & lack of craft serves it poorly. The premise had heft but the treatment and motivated storyline fails the integrity test.

A cringe-inducing, all-too-obvious attempt to malign the students of the most prestigious, internationally ranked university of the country, this film is utter trash. A politically motivated & biased storyline, poor performances, terribly inept direction plague this amateurishly filmed experience.

A triangular love story given the Insta treatment, this one has Gen Z echoing the instability that is its hallmark. Light-weight, silly & irritating, even decent songs fail to rev up the entertainment here. The actors look cute but their romancing, break ups , rebound & self discovery is a pain the audience might prefer not to go through - especially since there’s absolutely no attachment to be had here.

Title: #ChanduChampion Rating: * *

A sports biopic on India’s first #Paralympic gold medallist #MurlikantPetkar this film fails to draw you in. Allowing saleability to determine casting choices proves detrimental for this film experience. #KarthikAaryan isn’t able to live the role, he is merely enacting it and therein lies the problem. Despite the against-all-odds storyline there’s very little grit to grab you here. It’s a formulaic take on a life filled with challenges.

House of The Dragon Season 2 #PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas

Title:#HouseOfTheDragon2 Rating: * * * #SneakPreveiw

The darkly savage, sweeping saga of revenge & retribution while angling for the throne continues on unabated with a new generation of Tagaryens falling prey to devious minds & vicious goals. The first episode, a fire-starter for the new season feels like deja vu. There’s nothing new here - bloody murders, table-top scheming, ancient rituals with a dragon or two showing up to keep the faith. The pace is slow yet the drama is compelling. Its gonna be darker, deeper, bigger & bloodier with war on the horizon & desolation, destruction & death, I guess!

This intriguing folklore set in the Konkan had the makings of a horror worthy story but the writing & treatment were so devoid of scares that it all falls rather flat & uninteresting. Too mild to be creepy, there’s not much humour to tag this a horror-comedy either. The meagre budget might stand it in good stead at the box-office though.
