- [Movie Review: Project Hail Mary](https://fullyfilmy.com/2026/03/31/project-hail-mary-movie-review/): “Sometimes you just need to find someone to be brave for.” This line neatly encapsulates what Project Hail Mary stands for—its soul. At one level, it is a familiar space odyssey, but it is also much more. This is not just about hope; it is about courage, spirit, and ultimately, life. Based on Project Hail Mary (2021) by Andy Weir, the film follows Professor Ryland Grace and his extraordinary journey into space, where he attempts to save Earth from a mysterious organism consuming the sun — with unexpected help from an alien. The basic premise may seem familiar, much like […]
- [Dhurandhar: The Revenge | Movie Review](https://fullyfilmy.com/2026/03/31/dhurandhar-the-revenge-movie-review/): “You are not ready for this.” That’s from one of the songs used in Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Truth be told, I was not, even after having watched Dhurandhar a few months back and not quite recovering from it. Nothing could have prepared us for what the sequel was about to unleash. For a film that’s nearly four hours long, Aditya Dhar does not waste time in setting the context. The first hour is spent answering earlier questions and laying the base for what is to come. What we get is a relentless action drama, marked by violence that […]
- [Movie Review: 120 Bahadur](https://fullyfilmy.com/2026/03/19/movie-review-120-bahadur/): When telling a war story, one always risks entering a space that may seem repetitive. Typical war movies follow a familiar template: the introduction of the hero, the call of duty, the challenge, an emotional interlude to humanise the soldier amidst the gunfire, and finally, sacrifice and honour. But that is the risk one ought to take when choosing to tell the stories of the brave—especially a story like that of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati and his troops, who fought the Battle of Rezang La in 1962. Director Razneesh Ghai’s 120 Bahadur employs all the tropes of a war movie. […]
- [Movie Review: Scent Of A Woman](https://fullyfilmy.com/2026/03/04/movie-review-scent-of-a-woman/): When Charlie visits the visually impaired Colonel Slade for the first time, you are made aware of two things: the Colonel is not exactly a friendly person, and he seems to be in a permanent bad mood. You begin to wonder what might have happened to the man to send him into such a downward spiral. After all, it is unusual for someone who is blind not to find any warmth, even when interacting with younger people. It does not take long to understand the reason, however, as the Colonel takes us through the rollercoaster of emotions he is experiencing […]
- [Movie Review: Haq](https://fullyfilmy.com/2026/01/04/movie-review-haq/): Haq is bound to get a diverse reaction. Based on the Shah Bano case that rocked the country in the 1980s and possibly changed the course of history, Haq has a bearing on one of present-day Indian politics’ biggest talking points. The Uniform Civil Code. And yet, Haq raises questions about filmmaking itself. Or should we say, Bollywood’s tendency to stay away from keeping to absolute facts, as they are. Haq tells the story of Shazia Bano and her fight. It spans from the late ‘60s to the mid-‘80s, when Shazia’s fight reaches its culmination. The story starts with love-struck […]
- [Movie Review: Roi Roi Binale | Zubeen Garg](https://fullyfilmy.com/2025/11/09/movie-review-roi-roi-binale-zubeen-garg/): “An artist has only one politics. Always for the masses, never for the monarch,” says Zubeen Garg’s Raul in Roi Roi Binale. For people who saw the phenomenon that Garg was, the statement signified him as much as the character he played in the film. Garg was not the quintessential star. He was not just happy with the absolute adulation that came his way due to his music. He was determined to make more of it than most of his ilk ever desired. And he did that, not merely through his art. He rose as a personality, outside his artistic […]
- [From Scenic Backdrops to Economic Powerhouses: Why India Needs to Value Bollywood More](https://fullyfilmy.com/2025/10/11/from-scenic-backdrops-to-economic-powerhouses-why-india-needs-to-value-bollywood-more/): The recent announcement of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s visit to Yash Raj Studios and the subsequent deal for YRF to produce three major films in the UK from 2026 is far more than just a headline. It’s a seismic tremor in the global entertainment landscape, a powerful signal that the world is waking up to the multifaceted value of Indian cinema – a value we, in India, often seem to undervalue ourselves. For years, the discourse around Bollywood and regional film industries has been plagued by a curious apathy, sometimes even disdain. Driven by fleeting fads and superficial judgments, […]
- [Review: Netflix’s Secrets We Keep](https://fullyfilmy.com/2025/06/29/review-netflixs-secrets-we-keep/): A rich European society, an aspirational immigrant community, a class divide laced with racism, questionable parenting, and subtle sexist toxicity—all slowly stirred into one heady cocktail. That’s an apt description of Netflix’s Secrets We Keep, or as it’s originally titled in Danish, Reservatet. This gripping Danish drama weaves a complex tapestry of human flaws against the backdrop of Copenhagen’s elite, delivering a slow-burn mystery that is as thought-provoking as it is unsettling. Set in the affluent Copenhagen neighbourhood of Reservatet—where sprawling villas boast manicured lawns and exclusive waterfront access—the show immerses us in a world of visible wealth and hidden […]
- [Review: The Survivors | Netflix](https://fullyfilmy.com/2025/06/15/review-the-survivors-netflix/): Grief is not linear. It’s not simple. It’s possibly one of the most complex emotions we navigate. And no two people handle it the same way. Some shut themselves off, some escape, some cry until their bodies give up. Often, none of that is enough. We learn to live with it—functioning, even thriving, while carrying it like an old wound that never fully heals. Most of the characters in The Survivors, Netflix’s new limited series, are carrying that kind of wound. It’s been over 15 years, and they’re still trying to find peace. In the process, they’ve lost relationships, clarity, […]
- [Movie Review: Anurag Kashyap's Kennedy](https://fullyfilmy.com/2025/05/31/movie-review-anurag-kashyaps-kennedy/): You could criticise Anurag Kashyap for many things – including letting his quirks take over his screenplays at the worst possible junctures. What you cannot fault him for is his portrayal of Mumbai. That stands out, especially considering how many of his contemporaries and friends have drawn inspiration from places they came from. Not Kashyap. It may not be inaccurate, in fact, to cite the city as one of the greatest love stories of his life. From Paanch to Black Friday, No Smoking, Ugly, and That Girl in Yellow Boots, Kashyap has repeatedly asserted his love for the city. Even […]
- [Movie Review: Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning](https://fullyfilmy.com/2025/05/25/movie-review-mission-impossible-the-final-reckoning-review/): Mission: Impossible has undeniably cemented its place as a blockbuster action franchise, surpassing the James Bond movies in sheer spectacle since Ethan Hunt’s debut in the 90s. While Bond has continued to innovate, Mission: Impossible has relentlessly pursued a singular goal: to get bigger with every film. This ambition naturally stoked immense anticipation for what is billed as the ultimate instalment, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, even though the preceding film hadn’t quite hit the mark. And indeed, The Final Reckoning certainly delivers on the promise of large-scale, audacious stunts. Yet, despite its breathtaking grandeur, The Final Reckoning paradoxically […]
- [Cannes 2025 Immersive Competition: Exploring New Frontiers in Storytelling](https://fullyfilmy.com/2025/05/04/cannes-2025-immersive-competition-exploring-new-frontiers-in-storytelling/): The 78th Festival de Cannes is once again pushing the boundaries of cinematic experience with the return of the Immersive Competition, now in its second edition. Taking place from May 14 to 23, 2025, at the iconic Carlton Hotel on the Croisette, this competition celebrates innovative storytelling through spatial and sensory experiences that transcend traditional cinema. What Is the Immersive Competition? Introduced in 2024, the Immersive Competition spotlights cutting-edge works that invite audiences to engage interactively with narratives, often through virtual reality (VR), mixed reality (MR), video mapping, and artificial intelligence (AI). These works are designed to be experienced rather […]
- [Cannes 2025: Everything You Need to Know About the 78th Festival de Cannes and Its Exciting Un Certain Regard Lineup](https://fullyfilmy.com/2025/05/04/cannes-2025-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-78th-festival-de-cannes-and-its-exciting-un-certain-regard-lineup/): The 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival is set to take place from May 13 to May 24, 2025, in the glamorous city of Cannes, France. This prestigious international event, held annually since 1946, remains one of the most important platforms for celebrating global cinema, bringing together filmmakers, actors, critics, and cinephiles from around the world. Key Highlights of Cannes 2025 Main Competition Jury President: French actress Juliette Binoche will preside over the main competition jury. Binoche is a Cannes regular and a celebrated actress who won Best Actress at Cannes in 2010 for Copie conforme by Abbas Kiarostami. […]
- [Movie Review: The Order](https://fullyfilmy.com/2025/03/30/movie_review_the_order/): A movie that makes you think, read, wonder! Not very often, is it? Justin Kurzel’s The Order does it. There, now that I have that out of the way, let’s get to talking more elaborately about this film. The Order is based on the 1989 book The Silent Brotherhood: The Chilling Inside Story of America’s Violent, Anti-Government Militia Movement written by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt. I have not read the book, but I wish I had! Because The Order is the kind of troubling story that we should have known much earlier. But as it turns out, the film […]
- [Movie Review: CODA (2021)](https://fullyfilmy.com/2025/03/27/movie-review-coda-2021/): A Heartfelt Masterpiece That Deserved Every Award CODA is more than just a film; it’s an emotional journey that takes you through laughter, tears, and moments of profound joy. This Academy Award-winning gem beautifully blends humor, drama, and music to tell a deeply moving story about family, identity, and dreams. A Story That Resonates At its core, CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) is a coming-of-age drama centered around Ruby Rossi (Emilia Jones), the only hearing member of a deaf family. Torn between her love for music and her deep-rooted connection to her family, Ruby faces the difficult choice of following […]
- [Suspended Inspector Bodo: A Punchy Ride with Room to Grow](https://fullyfilmy.com/2025/03/26/suspended-inspector-bodo-a-punchy-ride-with-room-to-grow/): Kenny D Basumatary’s “Suspended Inspector Bodo” delivers a solid dose of action, staying true to the director’s signature style. As expected, the film scores high on its action sequences, showcasing Basumatary’s knack for crafting engaging fight choreography. However, while the action is undeniably entertaining, it occasionally treads familiar ground, becoming slightly repetitive at times. The film’s true strength lies in its well-crafted script. It’s evident that Basumatary has invested significant effort in developing his characters, each possessing distinct personalities and motivations. This depth elevates the narrative beyond a simple action flick, making it a more engaging experience. However, the film’s […]
- [Movie Review: The Wild Robot](https://fullyfilmy.com/2025/02/23/movie-review-the-wild-robot/): The first time I saw the poster of The Wild Robot, it somehow reminded me of Wall-E. Both stories have a robot at the centre. While similarities remain, this one is possibly closer to The Iron Giant. And yet, The Wild Robot certainly charts its own course. Based on famous writer Peter Brown’s sci-fi trilogy of the same name, The Wild Robot is about Rozzum Unit 7134, a robot made by Universal Dynamics, which crash lands on an uninhabited island after a mishap in the plane it was being carried in. It is understood that it is part of a […]
- [Movie Review: Sisu](https://fullyfilmy.com/2025/02/18/movie-review-sisu/): The screen opens to a bearded, visibly weathered old man digging for gold alone in the picturesque Finnish wilderness. From the narration, we gather that this is during World War II. We see hope in his eyes as he finds a pebble-sized gold nugget, and then he intensifies his search, digging endlessly until Lady Luck smiles. The man finds the biggest chunk of gold that most viewers may have ever seen. It’s enough for us to be wishfully transported into the scenery ourselves, hoping for the riches. The man’s joy-filled scream is relatable. It is palpable, the happiness. And then […]
- [Movie Review: Ghost of Maikhuli](https://fullyfilmy.com/2025/01/11/movie-review-ghost-of-maikhuli/): “Ghost of Maikhuli” is an Assamese film that subtly weaves together extremism and political manoeuvering, creating an underbelly that leaves an undesirable impact on the citizenry. The film boasts impressive action choreography while suffering from a somewhat weak script and uneven performances. The film cleverly utilizes the existing political landscape and the long-standing history of extremism in Assam to create a chilling atmosphere, using the backdrop of Maikhuli. It subtly underlines the dangerous nexus between politicians and extremist groups, hinting at how political ambitions can fuel violence. However, this potent theme is not fully explored, leaving the narrative feeling incomplete. […]
- [Movie Review: Anur: Eyes on the Sunshine | Assamese | Monjul Baruah](https://fullyfilmy.com/2025/01/01/movie-review-anur-eyes-on-the-sunshine-assamese-monjul-baruah/): Monjul Baruah’s Anur: Eyes on the Sunshine, adapted from the short story ‘Bhalpuwar Xomoi’ by acclaimed Assamese author Anuradha Sharma Pujaree, is a poignant and introspective film that delves into the profound loneliness faced by aging parents in a world that often leaves them behind. The film, while slow-paced, effectively mirrors the languid passage of time for those grappling with isolation and a sense of purposelessness. This deliberate pacing, reminiscent of how moments seem to stretch endlessly during periods of solitude, allows the audience to deeply connect with the characters’ emotional states. Jahanara Begum delivers a truly remarkable performance as […]
- [Review: Vasan Bala's Jigra | Alia Bhatt, Vedang Raina](https://fullyfilmy.com/2024/11/17/review-vasan-balas-jigra-alia-bhatt-vedang-raina/): “How do I look?” Satya asks sentry at the jail where her brother is being held. The elder sister does not wish to look like all hope is lost. She tidies up, and puts on a semblance of a smile as she walks in to face her brother Ankur. This, and the couple of minutes preceding, as she rushes into the jail hoping she is within visitation hours, is one of the most fascinating scenes I may have seen in a while where an artist, in this case, Alia Bhatt, stamps her class. In another scene, she tells her brother, […]
- [A Journey Through Time: From Text to Screen | German Film Museum, Frankfurt](https://fullyfilmy.com/2024/11/16/a-journey-through-time-from-text-to-screen-german-film-museum-frankfurt/): A film museum might not be the first thing that comes to mind when exploring a city. After all, traditional museums often offer a more direct glimpse into a city’s history. Nevertheless, as we ventured out of our hotel in Frankfurt, I was determined to give the German Film Museum a chance. Situated a 25-minute walk from our accommodation, near Frankfurt (Main) Hauptbahnhof, the museum was easily accessible. We strolled past the Le Méridien Hotel, crossed the Main River, and continued past the renowned Städel Museum until we reached the film museum, nestled on the riverbank. Upon entering, we realized […]
- [Movie Review: Shri Swapankumarer Badami Hyenar Kobole](https://fullyfilmy.com/2024/06/02/shri-swapankumarer-badami-hyenar-kobole/): What is worse than not being popular? Being forgotten! That’s exactly where Dipak Chatterjee finds himself, relegated to a dusty shelf in a forgotten library, his stories long out of print. The space he once vied for has been taken over by the far more popular Feluda and Byomkesh Bakshi. Yet, his creator, Swapan Kumar, isn’t done yet. Swapan Kumar, who made a sensation with his hero Dipak in the pulpy “Adrishya Sanket” in 1953, has one last wish: to bring his creation back from the abyss of forgotten cultural history and give him the one thing any character would […]
- [The Great Indian Family | Movie Review](https://fullyfilmy.com/2023/11/25/the-great-indian-family-movie-review/): Cast: Vicky Kaushal, Manushi Chillar, Kumud Mishra, Manoj Pahwa Director: Vijay Krishna Acharya Writer: Vijay Krishna Acharya   Yash Raj Films’ The Great Indian Family is not a novel idea. Not by any margin. This is a theme that has been dealt with in the past, in the Hindi film industry alone, multiple times. But more importantly, it probably draws inspiration from Dhool Ka Phool and Dharmputra, Yash Chopra’s first two directorial ventures. It deals with the one of most essential aspects of Indian society – tolerance, pluralism, and peaceful coexistence. We have Ved Vyas Tripathi, famous among his followers […]
- [Guru Dutt's Pyaasa | The Classic Reviews](https://fullyfilmy.com/2023/09/17/guru-dutts-pyaasa-the-classic-reviews/): I first watched Pyaasa in my mid-20s as a part of an exercise to know the work of the greats. This was on a 14-inch desktop, playing the movie from a Moser Baer VCD that I picked up from the nearby Big Bazaar. I had watched almost the entirety of Guru Dutt’s portfolio, left spellbound by most of it. But what stayed with me was the melancholy of Kagaaz Ke Phool and a brilliant war sequence in Baaz. For years after that, I maintained that Kagaaz Ke Phool, a somewhat biographical tale, was Guru Dutt’s supreme work, almost arguing with […]
- [Movie Review: Sudhir Mishra's Afwaah](https://fullyfilmy.com/2023/07/09/movie-review-afwaaah-sudhir-mishra-bhumi-pednekar-nawazuddin-siddiqui/): If Is Raat Ki Subeh Nahi was a movie franchise. Afwaah could have very well been part of it. It is a story of one day in a poll-bound western state, where a common man gets entangled in a situation that is not so common – or so we would like to hope. Also, just like in Is Raat Ki, the common man also seems to be from the world of advertising. Of course, Mishra chooses the industry carefully, as we find as the story progresses. Rahab Ahmed (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) gets entangled in a situation when he tries helping a […]
- [Movie Review: 65 | Scott Beck & Bryan Woods | Adam Driver](https://fullyfilmy.com/2023/06/18/movie-review-65-scott-beck-bryan-woods-adam-driver/): Are we really alone in this universe? Not likely, many believe. A lot of them also believe that other inhabitants of this universe may be ahead of us on the evolution ladder. Some are certain these inhabitants look extremely different from anything we have seen on Earth, as portrayed in movies like ET to Alien. And some think that these could look very much like us humans, with varying levels of power. It is quite evident that Scott Beck and Bryan Woods draw their inspiration for 65 from these ideas. But it is a rather lazy inspiration! So, what is […]
- [Movie Review: Lorni - The Flaneur](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/10/10/movie-review-lorni-the-flaneur/): Disclaimer: I am excited to see a film from Shillong on a major streaming platform. Especially a film that is mostly Khasi. That’s a first. As someone from the northeast, I think this is a major step forward for stories from the region. Being from where I am does not mean I tint my viewing glasses all pink. But my identity does allow me to understand the context better. Hopefully. – On the face of it, Lorni – The Flaneur is about Shem, a private detective. His empty calendar says he is not packed with work, but his too proud […]

- [Movie Review: Cuttputlli | Akshay Kumar](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/09/11/movie-review-cuttputlli-akshay-kumar/): A few years ago, Cuttputlli may have felt novel. But right now, it feels like the nth serial killer/murder mystery story set in a sleepy hill station in recent times. There seems to have been a barrage of stories set in the places like Kasauli since the advent of the OTT era. But that is not what ails this yet-another-Hindi-remake of a Tamil film. Disclaimer: I have not watched Ratsasan. I understand that might make me almost an outcast considering everyone on social media platforms seems to be busy comparing the two films. I would not be putting up any […]
- [Movie Review: Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/09/09/movie-review-brahmastra-part-one-shiva/): The first few minutes of Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva could very well leave you flummoxed. For a film that is touted as the biggest Hindi movie ever made, the scenes look staged and the dialogues kiddish. But what you surely can’t deny is that the film projects opulence right from frame one. The money spent is visible and you are assured you are in for a larger-than-life spectacle. Is the assurance fulfilled? Strictly from being a VFX wonder, Brahmāstra delivers. It in fact sets a benchmark for Indian films. Yet, Brahmastra is well short of greatness. Having made Wake […]
- [Movie Review: The Gray Man](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/08/15/movie-review-the-gray-man/): Circa 2003. An inmate in Florida State Prison is approached by CIA personnel Donald Fitzroy (Billy Bob Thorton) to become a part of a program called Sierra, which is being created to carry out dirty work that CIA cannot do officially. The offer is simple – “I am here to help you become a value add rather than a value lost,” as Donald puts it. Inmate accepts the offer and is codenamed Six. Eighteen years and countless missions later, Fitzroy’s successor assigns Six to take out a target who turns out to be Sierra Four. The reason, as discovered soon […]
- [Movie Review: Hustle](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/06/13/hustle_moviereview_netflix_noyonjyotiparasara/): Though he has delivered films like Uncut Gems and The Meyerowitz Stories, Adam Sandler is not readily associated with movies that need him to do more than being himself.  This is why Hustle should surprise you. Sandler’s Stanley Sugarman is a 50-something NBA scout working for the Philadelphia 76ers and aspires to be a coach. Stan’s belief in himself is challenged when he is pushed to a corner as he seeks to prove his latest find, a street talent from Spain could fit into the NBA. Of course, the genre dictates the underdog must triumph. Stan finds his way, but […]
- [Movie Review: Jayeshbhai Jordaar](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/06/12/ranveersinghs_jayeshbhaijordaar_movie_review/): If the intent is all that mattered, Jayeshbhai Jordaar would certainly have been one of the most remarkable films in recent times. It uses comedy, proven to be effective while dealing with social evils, to tell us what misogyny could lead us to. Not just that, Jayeshbhai Jordaar delves into the deep-seated issues that are linked to female infanticide. Alas! Set in a small village named Pravingadh in the state of Gujarat, this is the story of Jayeshbhai and his family. His wife, Mudra, is pregnant for the eighth time. She has already gone through six abortions after the birth […]
- [Movie Review: Interceptor](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/06/04/movie-review-interceptor/): The world is going through an interesting phase. We are seeing some genuine attempts at diversity and inclusivity in our stories. There are stories with female actors treading paths traditionally reserved for men. People across races and sexuality are finding equality in pop culture. And then there are silly attempts at being ‘me too’. Netflix’s Interceptor is one of those. An action thriller with a woman beating the shit out of the bad guys. Sounds good till we have a scene when the woman takes off her shirt to be in her undershirt for the rest of the movie. Because… […]
- [Movie Review: Attack - Part 1](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/05/29/movie-review-attack-part-1/): John Abraham had already tasted success as a super cop in Force. It is only natural that he seeks to up his game. And what better than a super-strong cop who could lift heavy bikes and throw them at goons? A super-soldier of course. Little wonder John Abraham is credited for the story of Attack, where he plays a Super Soldier! The concept of ‘Super soldiers’ is not new. Captain America is one. Over the years we have seen numerous attempts in movies across the world at creating the perfect super-soldier. And why not! A super-soldier is looked as a […]
- [Movie Review: Heropanti 2](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/05/28/movie-review-heropanti-2/): “You have to commit to it; believe in it. If you don’t believe in what you are trying to sell, how will the buyers believe it?” one of my previous bosses had once told me. I was put in charge of selling ad space for a site at a price that was much higher than what a rival site was selling. And we did not have the numbers to back it. Needless to say, I was not convinced. But there was an important lesson to learn. You cannot always have control over what you are selling, but you would have […]
- [Movie Review: Beast](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/05/16/movie-review-beast/): There is no easy way to put this. Vijay needs to reinvent. He needs to rethink how he wants to take this stardom ahead. There can never be a doubt that he is super charming on screen. He would not have been the star he is today without that. He acts well and dances fantastically. But over the last few years, his films have relied far too heavily on his charm than a screenplay. And with Beast/ War it seems Vijay is entirely okay with this arrangement. He can after all pull up wonders at the box office irrespective. But […]
- [Assamese movie Local Utpaat releases May 13](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/05/07/assamese-movie-local-utpaat-releases-may-13/): Kenny Basumatary is back. Known for creating the cult classic Local Kung Fu franchise, the director is ready to release his fourth feature film – Local Utpaat. The film features much of the cast that was seen in his earlier films. What is interesting is that the film has been completed with the help of contributions from over 1200 people. Local Utpaat releases May 13, 2022. Below is a peek into what the movie is all about.   Trailer   Synopsis Amit, Jonny, and Montu live in a rented house owned by sleepwalking landlord Deben da. When Amit’s girlfriend Maya […]
- [Movie Review: Badhaai Do](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/03/13/movie-review-badhaai-do/): We are not there yet as a society. Not nearly there to accept homosexuality as normal. Hence every film around it is important, as much as any dialogue around it. And while films like Aligarh have managed to push the agenda, a well-made film that can reach out to a larger section of people with humour is all the more important… considering Aligarh, despite all the awards and acclaim, barely managed to draw two and a half lakh people in a country of 130 crores to the theatres. This in no way diminishes the achievement or finesse of Aligarh, but […]
- [The Complete Guide to Top Film Festivals to Submit your Films](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/02/19/the-complete-guide-to-top-film-festivals-to-submit-your-films/): A film festival is an event in which films are shown and often awarded. Film festivals were originally introduced in the 1920s to provide a platform for filmmakers from all over the world to show their work. Cannes is one of the most prestigious film festivals where movies are screened every year. Film festivals offer filmmakers an opportunity to receive feedback on their work, as well as meet new people who share similar interests.

- [Is it game over for Bollywood? Hell no!](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/02/02/is-it-game-over-for-bollywood-hell-no/): Debunking the “remakewood” allegations and more.   “Bollywood is over. It’s now merely remakewood. South movies are taking over,” announced a fellow journalist. This in-between a discussion after the fabulous success story that Pushpa The Rise went on to be and the subsequent failure of Kabir Khan’s magnum opus 83. My friend is not alone. I have observed a growing sense of resentment online, on various social media pages, ridiculing what was once one of the world’s most loved movie-making industries. A lot of this may have found strength after the demise of Sushant Singh Rajput and the hysteria that […]
- [Movie Review - Binisutoy: Without Strings](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/01/24/movie-review-binisutoy-without-strings/): Why do we watch movies? To be entertained, of course. But it is really the stories. The stories that help us, for that brief period of time, escape the regular and be a part of something else, feel the joy or pain that the world brings with it. In a broad context, Binisutoy could be a tribute to the movies, and the stories that drive them. It talks about the importance of stories, and about life. And it’s joyful hence, that the movie manages to transport the audience into its world so effortlessly. Binisutoy, of course, has a more pointed […]
- [Ranked: The 10 Best Martin Scorsese Movies](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/01/11/ranked-the-10-best-martin-scorsese-movies/): In this ranking, I have tried to offer a varied selection from the Scorsese filmography. There are some widely agreed upon classics, such as “Raging Bull,” “Goodfellas,” and “The Departed.” There are also some lesser-known gems that might have been overlooked by casual viewers. #1 Raging Bull #2 Goodfellas #3 Taxi Driver #4 The Departed #5 The Wolf of Wall Street #6 Cape Fear (1991) #7 Casino (1995) #8 Shutter Island (2010) #9 Gangs of New York #10 Bringing Out the Dead
- [Movie Review: Pushpa - The Rise](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/01/10/movie-review-pushpa-the-rise/): Sample this. Our hero has a thing for the heroine but she does not even know that the hero exists. So, the hero’s friend pays the heroine to just look and smile at the hero. And the heroine agrees to. When the delighted hero figures that his lady love looked at him only because she was paid, he tells his friend to fix another deal – five times the money for a kiss. And the heroine turns up at the designated location to execute the deal. Of course, here the filmmaker draws in the elements of chastity but these small […]
- [Movie Review: Satyameva Jayate 2](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/01/08/movie-review-satyameva-jayate-2/): Here’s the thing. I know I watched Satyameva Jayate 2, but I wonder if the writer actually intended to make Satyameva Jayate 2. By all yardsticks, this one could have well been Gunda 2, a sequel to the 1998 Mithun Chakraborty starrer and the king of trash. Each character, like in the Kanti Shah ‘masterpiece’ speaks rhyming sentences. Every character in this straight out of the ‘80s flick is equally bizarre and nonsensical. We have a home minister of a state who turns a vigilante by the night beating corrupt people to death. Well, before really getting violent he does […]
- [Movie Review: Meenakshi Sundareshwar](https://fullyfilmy.com/2022/01/02/movie-review-meenakshi-sundareshwar/): There is something incredibly likable about Sanya Malhotra. She does possess the power to pull off a scene on her own, if not the whole film. And she does that with aplomb throughout this somewhat sweet rom-com Meenakshi Sudareshwar. Her abilities however aren’t quite enough to fill the gaps in the screenplay… Meenakshi Sundareshwar takes its name from the famous Madurai temple. The temple speaks of the relationship between the Hindu gods Sunderashwar (Shiv) and Meenakshi (Parvati). Like in the case of the temple, where the principal deity is Meenakshi, the story of the film pretty much keeps the female […]
- [Movie Review: Bunty Aur Babli 2](https://fullyfilmy.com/2021/12/20/movie-review-bunty-aur-babli-2/): Truth be told, I was never a fan of Bunty Aur Babli (2005). To me, it was a lesson in film commerce. A film does not need to be great to be a super hit. It barely enticed me as a con-film. And yet, I would not deny that the film delivered high on comedy, plus of course, everything that a ‘masala film’ aficionado would wish for, including an iconic item number. Probably hence, 15 years since its release, the film still manages to get love on television. The idea of a sequel does sound appealing. And that should have […]
- [The Debate: Why producers make some films and reject others](https://fullyfilmy.com/2021/08/03/the-debate-why-producers-make-some-films-and-reject-others/): “I am not being given my creative liberty here.” That’s what a friend of mine told me justifying why she wants to move out of India. She is a filmmaker. Having worked on multiple films as an assistant director and a few commercial ads as the director, she has been struggling to get a producer for her first feature. My friend here is not alone. There are hundreds of, if not thousands, aspiring filmmakers trying to find takers for their first film. The grouse is simple – either people don’t like their scripts, or even if they like the script, […]
- [Movie Review: Hungama 2](https://fullyfilmy.com/2021/07/24/noyon-jyoti-parasara-movie-review-priyadarshans-hungama-2/): In his attempt to expose the lie spread by the story’s female lead, the male protagonist attempts to record their conversation in a mini tape. Yes, a tape! Not a mobile phone or any cool new-age gadget, but a tape. This scene is symbolic of the mess that Hungama 2 is. The film is so dated that it would feel you are back in the ‘90s. And no, it is not just the screenplay. The opening credits of the film make you nostalgic. You have Sameer as the lyricist, Anu Malik as the music director, Venus as production banner, Priyadarshan […]
- [74th Festival de Cannes - List of Awards!](https://fullyfilmy.com/2021/07/18/74th-festival-de-cannes-all-the-awards/): The 74th Cannes Film Festival concluded on Saturday, July 17. The festival, held across 12 days, saw American actress-director Jodie Foster being awarded an honorary Palme d’or at the Opening Ceremony on 6 July. Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio also received the distinction this evening for his exceptional career. The trophy was presented to him by Paolo Sorrentino. Below is the list of awards that were given away at the festival, often considered the world’s foremost celebration of movies. FEATURE FILMS Palme d’or TITANE directed by Julia DUCOURNAU   Grand Prix (ex aequo) GHAHREMAN (A Hero) directed by Asghar FARHADI HYTTI […]

The festival brings original and challenging new independent and international films to the screen at beloved venues like historic Thalian Hall and the foundation’s funky and recently renovated headquarters at Jengo’s Playhouse. New venues like Hi-Wire Brewery join the lineup and a special selection of screenings will be held at the recently completed Film Studies building on the campus of the University of North Carolina Wilmington.

- [Movie Review: Haseen Dillruba](https://fullyfilmy.com/2021/07/09/movie-review-haseen-dillruba/): Haseen Dillruba, uncannily reminded me of Ashutosh Gowariker’s What’s Your Rashee?. While there is barely anything that makes the two films similar on the surface, they are connected by the biggest flaws. For most parts of the Gowariker film, Harman Baweja is seen bride hunting. He meets 12 different girls and has to decide on one. When he finally settles for one of the 12 matches, he justifies his decision by saying he was in love with her. Not for once was there a moment in the screenplay to suggest he was in love with the girl and that she was […]

- [Movie Review: Sherni](https://fullyfilmy.com/2021/06/20/movie-review-sherni/): Roughly two and half years ago, around November 2018, forest officials in Maharashtra with help from a private hunter had managed to kill a tigress named Avni after mounting a massive hunt. This was in accordance with the Supreme Court’s directive. Following the killing, there were both celebrations and accusations. The hunter was provided with a silver tiger trophy, while activists talked about how it was a cold-blooded murder without any effort to actually tranquilise the tiger and transport it to a protected area, thereby saving her life. For many, this episode of tiger hunt would probably still be fresh […]
- [Movie Review: Dictionary](https://fullyfilmy.com/2021/06/16/movie-review-dictionary/): Around mid-2008, India was waking up to a phenomenon names Savita Bhabhi. A cartoon strip about a promiscuous married woman, Savita, had managed to pique the imagination of the collective youth of the country. The phenomenon became so big that the Indian government had to step in, much to the dismay of plenty, and ban the site under the anti-pornography laws. This followed widespread criticism against the government for behaving like a “net-nanny”. Its fate notwithstanding, Savita Bhabhi did manage to enter common parlance as a part of sexist jokes and more. Director Bratya Basu may have sought inspiration from […]
- [Looking back at Sushant Singh Rajput's career](https://fullyfilmy.com/2021/06/13/looking-back-at-sushant-singh-rajputs-career/): Exactly a year back we lost Sushant Singh Rajput. Was it a case of suicide, or was there something more? Well, only time will tell. Irrespective, one of the things I will probably never be okay with was the way the depression story was ridiculed. “He did not look depressed,” is exactly the kind of argument that we should have probably never entertained. Nevertheless, that is a discussion for another day. Today, we discuss business. Business of films and how it could impact an actor’s career. Sushant Singh Rajput was by no means a failure. He was a sparkling story […]
- [Movie Review: The Girl on the Train (2021)](https://fullyfilmy.com/2021/02/28/movie-review-the-girl-on-the-train-2021/): Back in childhood, I lived in the small city of Guwahati. Away from the madness of maximum city Mumbai, Guwahati has its small-town charms. It is vibrant in its own way while being quite laid back. One of the essential parts of Guwahati is the cycle rickshaw – a mode of transportation most people would swear by. The new age youngsters might find it disturbing to ride in a vehicle that is manually pulled by another human and not machine, but rickshaws have their own charm. You could enjoy the light breeze on your face, as the rickshaw cruised slowly. […]

- [Nawazuddin Siddiqui recreates his iconic character of Faisal for a quirky New Year wish to fans](https://fullyfilmy.com/2021/01/03/nawazuddin-siddiqui-recreates-his-iconic-character-of-faisal-for-a-quirky-new-year-wish-to-fans/): Bollywood is known for many unique features it offers to the audience and one of them is a powerful dialogue. Right from the advent of cinema, we have seen iconic lines stand the test of time. These days, we have only a select few actors who can command that kind of a hold on the masses and one of them is Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The talented actor started his career quite some time back but in 2012, he made a special place in all hearts with films Kahaani, Talaash and the biggest hit of all, Gangs Of Wasseypur. The actor took […]
- [Movie Review: Kaamyaab](https://fullyfilmy.com/2020/12/13/movie-review-kaamyaab/):   “Sardar maine aapka namak khaya hai!”. That one probably is one of the best-remembered dialogues from Indian movies. And it was not delivered by one of the leads of the film. Rather, the actor who delivered these words possibly had only these words in the whole script before he is bumped off by Gabbar.  The same film has another gem. Samba replying to Gabbar’s query about the bounty on his head. “Poore Pachaas Hajaar”. And yet for an average viewer, it would not be unlikely to not remember the names of the actors who delivered these names. Sudheer, our […]

And it is not just the critics who have been talking about it. During the intermission, I had tweeted that I am halfway through the film. A usual response to such a tweet is moviegoers asking if I liked the film and if they should watch it. But on this particular day, for the first time, I was asked by a fan of Salman Khan not to review the film. Reason: He had already seen it and knew it was bad. He just did not want it to be ripped by reviewers […]
