    #Latereview: Saani Kaayidham on Amazon Prime Video is a bloodthirsty crime drama

    Saani Kaayidham is an indulgent, overtly bloody revenge drama which could have been better if the writing was as solid as the direction was.

    Deep Water on Amazon Prime Video: A film that aspires to be clever

    Just like Geheraiyaan, this film too was probably better on paper but got lost in translation because it wanted to be clever.

    Maaran on Disney+hotstar is a botched, wannabe investigative thriller

    Staged as an action thriller, Maaran aspires to be a clever one. But there is no hint of cleverness in the film until we are well into the s

    Gehraiyaan: A good premise lost while translating onto the big screen

    Gehraiyaan is a film that gives you a lot to think about not because of the way it is, but for how it could've turned out to be.

    #TheLateReview: Jai Bhim - Simple, elegant, taut and impactful storytelling

    Remakes vs Original: Bhramam and Maestro vs Andhadhun

    The shadows of Ayushmann and Tabu loom large on the remakes. I felt like a guy hung up over his ex.

    Love Story - Shekhar Kammula pushes himself and the audience out of comfort zone

    Shekhar Kammula's Love Story succeeds in talking about societal issues in a mainstream cinema. Chaitanya & Sai Pallavi are brilliant.

    Tughlaq Durbar: A confused mix of call-backs and references

    Other than some clever dialogues and Vijay Sethupathi's acting, the film is just a potpourri of poorly executed call-backs and references.
