Badal Movie Review {/5}: Critic Review of Badal by Times of India

IIZ has a fun idea at its core but never quite finds the bite needed to make its zom-com chaos truly infectious.

An indie conversational drama that digs deep but struggles to engage.

While HJTIHH offers a handful of laughs, catchy songs and a committed central performance from Varun Dhawan, its weak writing prevents it from recreating the effortless charm and rewatch value of David Dhawan’s classic comedies. If you are a fan of crazy madcap humour this one might work for you.

This is not an easy film to watch. It is disturbing, repulsive and occasionally repetitive. Think of horror sensation ‘obsession’ in an Anurag Kashyap universe. But that discomfort is precisely the point.

An entertaining crime-comedy that never turns into a pity party, Maa Behen has no interest in reforming society's self-appointed moral guardians. Instead, it offers women a far simpler solution: why care?

If you're looking for a wholesome, kid-friendly film that celebrates Indian storytelling traditions with warmth, humour and colourful animation, this one is for you.

A tender exploration of womanhood, belonging, and the invisible weight of patriarchy set against the breathtaking landscapes of Sikkim, where home is both sanctuary and a cage. The film observes the quiet resilience of women living without men.

A good pick for viewers who enjoy courtroom dramas layered with emotion and social commentary.

An earnest and socially relevant crime thriller that's undone by its predictability.
