Review of The Mummy (2017)

By Nandini Ramnath (221) for Scroll.in (342) on 07 Jun 2017

Review of Fitoor (2016)

By Nandini Ramnath (221) for Scroll.in (342) on 06 Jun 2017

Fitoor's plot has no central motor to power it through its twists and turns, and no discernible big idea to replace the critique of privilege…

Review of A Flying Jatt (2016)

By Nandini Ramnath (221) for Scroll.in (342) on 05 Jun 2017

Shroff's gum-baring smile and enviable ability to perform splits and somersaults partially elevate the shabbily shot action scenes and chintzy…

Review of Azhar (2016)

By Nandini Ramnath (221) for Scroll.in (342) on 04 Jun 2017

Review of Baywatch (2017)

By Nandini Ramnath (221) for Scroll.in (342) on 31 May 2017

When a movie is so good at analysing its own shortcomings, it's time to reach for drowning metaphors…

Review of Wonder Woman (2017)

By Nandini Ramnath (221) for Scroll.in (342) on 31 May 2017

Review of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)

By Nandini Ramnath (221) for Scroll.in (342) on 24 May 2017

The action set pieces and bravura visual effects are among the franchise's selling points, and at least on this score, [the film] doesn't disappoint…

Review of Begum Jaan (2017)

By Nandini Ramnath (221) for Scroll.in (342) on 13 Apr 2017

It sounds like a wonderful and welcome alternative to mansplaining - but perhaps it might have been more effective if the movie had opted for…

Review of Kaatru Veliyidai (2017)

By Nandini Ramnath (221) for Scroll.in (342) on 06 Apr 2017

Review of Beauty and the Beast (2017)

By Nandini Ramnath (221) for Scroll.in (342) on 17 Mar 2017

Review of Mantra (2017)

By Nandini Ramnath (221) for Scroll.in (342) on 17 Mar 2017

Set in 2004, focussing on the economic and social changes that were kicked off in the 1990s, and released in 2017, Mantra ultimately belongs nowhere…

Review of Kong: Skull Island (2017)

By Nandini Ramnath (221) for Scroll.in (342) on 10 Mar 2017

Vogt-Roberts films the predictable adventure with tremendous flair, and cinematographer Larry Fong's washed-out colour palette elevates the…

Review of Rangoon (2017)

By Nandini Ramnath (221) for Scroll.in (342) on 27 Feb 2017

Review of Jackie (2016)

By Nandini Ramnath (221) for Scroll.in (342) on 27 Feb 2017

As a tightly controlled exploration of the pageantry of grief, Jackie works very well, even when the stylisation tips into excess and the close-ups…

Review of Lion (2015)

By Nandini Ramnath (221) for Scroll.in (342) on 27 Feb 2017

Review of Irada (2017)
