    Babygirl

    ★★★

    It's wild to think that Babygirl and Nosferatu shared the same theatrical release date in the US. I feel like anyone who watched both on the same day would've had a perfect double feature. Where one is drenched in darkness, the other is an intense, sensual dive into human vulnerability and desire. Sex, in a way, is the heart of Babygirl.

    Pushpa 2 - The Rule

    ★★★½

    The first part of Pushpa set the stage so perfectly, ending with a thrilling lead into the second film. It gave us a high-stakes setup: a battle of egos and insecurities between Pushpa and Shekhawat. With Pushpa: The Rule, I wanted to see how Sukumar would build on that tension and take Pushpa’s character further. By the time I walked out of the theater, I felt satisfied. Sukumar truly gave Pushpa’s character the depth and complexity the title promised.
