Felt a rage inside like never before. The women being policed on grief, on anger on every emotion plausible and never receiving a modicum of justice in countries everywhere. This film injects that pain straight into your bloodstream. Unsettling and beautiful
An Alia Bhatt tour de force. In an era of fading stars and hollow ai generated cinema, she is one of one. The torch has been passed, the weight is on her shoulders once again. Vasan Bala finds his least referential film nerd story, where even the references act as character traits.

A tight script that only loses its way slightly in the second half, but the foot stays on the pedal mostly. A standout in a bleak year. Bacchan banna hai indeed.

Bring back Yash Chopra. He'd hate what this country has become
