Rebel Ridge 2024
Despite the familiar premise, “Rebel Ridge” rises while practicing restraint. It is measured in its actions, flamboyant in the dialogues, and deeply relevant in its depiction of societal injustice.
Aaron Pierre as Terry Richmond is a revelation. The commanding physicality of Pierre brings a suave energy and calculated invincibility while being pitted against the testosterone alliance of the police forces.

Once Upon a Time in Calcutta 2021
In his third feature, Aditya Vikram Sengupta has shed the lyrical poetry of his debut "Asha Jaowar Majhe." Instead, Mayanagar (or Once Upon a Time in Kolkata) is nuanced and measured portrayal of the chaotic mess of a city caught in between. A city denying both past and present. A magnificent painting of misplaced souls of a city in a limbo.

The Parenting 2025
“The Parenting” (2025), HBO Max’s latest, is a heavy-handed genre-bending attempt that vacillates between campy merriment and vexing ineptness. Directed by Craig Johnson and written by Kent Sublette, the film survives to work, largely due to momentary flashes of comedic brilliance by its veteran actors. In addition, it has some usual horror jump-scares that blend seamlessly with outrageously hilarious moments, making the film enjoyable in patches, particularly if you are in for some B-movie cheer

Talvar 2015
Strictly in terms of films, Talvar is an excellent thriller where a whodunnit story is retold from various outlooks. It grips you from the first frame and does not relinquish even after the film finishes.
Being an Indian, I can note what this films also tries to illustrate the gaping holes our country's crime solving techniques, where a Criminal is found first and then motif and modus operandi are thought of. Based on the infamous Noida double murder case, this films strictly follows the events and shows how politician, police and media all played parts in it.
A film that needs to be seen
