Thug Life – Thugged not Thrilled!!! PK Verdict: Super Tin⭐️

Thug Life – Thugged not Thrilled!!! Thug Life promises cinematic grandeur but delivers cinematic fatigue. What was touted as a bold collaboration of industry titans—Mani Ratnam, Kamal Haasan, and A.R. Rahman—turns out to be a sluggish potboiler that drains more than it dazzles. The result? Three hours that feel like a cinematic heist, robbing the audience

Kankhajura – A Mind Bender!!! PK Verdict: GOLD⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kankhajura – A Mind Bender!!! Sony LIV’s Kaankhajura is a gripping addition to the Indian crime-drama landscape, officially adapted from the Israeli series Magpie. It unfolds as a slow-burning narrative, rich with layered characters, taut writing, and an ever-present undercurrent of tension. Beneath its sleek surface, the show pulses with suppressed violence and emotional volatility. The frequent use

Raid 2: Another Yawner PK Verdict: Just Silver. 2.5⭐️s

Raid 2: Another Yawner PK Verdict: Just Silver. 2.5⭐️s Director Rajkumar Gupta returns, not with vision, but with repetition. Raid 2 rides on the coattails of its predecessor without adding an ounce of originality. At its core, it’s yet another Ajay Devgn vehicle — same brooding gaze, same Ray-Bans, same half-hearted intensity. It’s Singham in spirit, minus the

#Phule — Blossoms Brilliantly!!! PK Verdict: GOLD ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Phule — Blossoms Brilliantly!!! A poignant, beautifully-acted, and timely cinematic ode to India’s first torchbearers of educational and social reform. In Phule, director Ananth Mahadevan doesn’t just tell a story—he revives a revolution. A delicate yet forceful cinematic experience, the film plunges viewers into 19th-century colonial India, unraveling the quietly thunderous journey of Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule.

Sikandar –Mediocre !!! PK Verdict: Just Silver 2.5⭐️s

Sikandar –Mediocre !!! Sikandar is everything you expect from a Salman Khan film—high-voltage action, emotional drama, and a larger-than-life hero. However, while it’s marginally better than some of his recent outings, it doesn’t break new ground and struggles to justify its runtime. Director AR Murugadoss attempts to blend a Bollywood superstar with a South-style setup, but

Nadaaniyaan – Indeed a Silly One!!! Just Silver 2.5⭐️s

Nadaaniyaan – Indeed a Silly One!!! Shauna Gautam presents a story where the rich meets the poor—but with Bollywood’s evolving definition of “poor.” Here, the so-called underprivileged attend elite schools, dream of studying at prestigious London universities, and carry an aura that never quite convinces you of their financial struggles. Scholarships aside, let’s be real—Nawab could
