Dabangg 2: No Kamal From Pandey Ji
Yes! I managed to catch this earlier than I anticipated because for whatever reason, it was playing in NYC from the 20th instead of the 21st so I was like fuck holiday shopping, I’m going to watch my movie. However, because it’s still so early, if you’re a Salman fan and you’re planning to watch […]
Jab Tak Hai Jaan Non-Review: Wherein I Become An SRK Fan All Over Again
Man, I don’t even know where to start. I mean, usually I have an angle when I start to write about a film – some primary thing that I took away from it that becomes the center of my ramblings. But with Jab Tak Hai Jaan, there’s just too much going on. First of all, […]
Student Of The Year: Kukkad Kamal Da
O. M. G. you guys, I LOVE THIS MOVIE. Love love love love looooooooooove it!! I have reasons. Many of them.

Cocktail: Un-Mix Me Please!
Cocktail is such an aggravating film. I don’t mean that in an entirely bad way because there is a lot there to appreciate. But there’s also so much that doesn’t work. It deserves to be watched for its sheer determination to push the boundaries of a stale genre as far as they can be pushed […]

Shanghai: Slow Burn
Some films solely entertain, some are pure self-indulgent art. Some films bridge the gap between art and entertainment and are lauded for being a perfect alchemy of the two.
