    Pathaan 2023

    Watched 25 Jan 2023

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    To begin at the beginning, Deepika Padukone’s saffron sarong-bikini in the song ‘Besharam Rang’ has not been edited out or censored into a different colour. It is still very much saffron, very much revealing, very much silken, very much sexy, not cowering to the sinister, clownish demands of lily-livered trolls. This is the film’s confident posture. That it has no one to be afraid of and no anticipated criticism that it must tip-toe around — except, perhaps, dubbing over ‘PM’…

    Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 2022

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    The good news is that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is not the worst Hindi film I’ve seen this year. The bad news is that it’s one of the worst horror comedies I’ve seen in years. By the end, my fond memories of Bhool Bhulaiyaa were all but vanquished. By the end, I wasn’t sure about who was possessed, who was sane, who was pretending and who was sad. I was, however, sure that the language of Bengali was absolutely slaughtered by…
