Chandu Champion – A Biased Review
Big disclaimer before I start this review. This one is going to be biased, no matter how much I try, I do not think it's going to be possible for me to give an unbiased view, at least not completely unbiased. But I'm still going to try my best and... ...
Jersey (2022) Movie Review
After being postponed on numerous occasions (covid, lack of sufficient screens), Jersey (2022), starring Shahid Kapoor, finally hit theatres this Friday. The makers of Jersey (2022) wanted to release the film in theatres and not on OTT as they felt it was best suited for the big screen.

There is an underdog story that turns into a dream run that finally becomes a phenomenon as Chicago Bulls become world champions not once, not twice but an insurmountable 6 times in 8 years (1991 to 1998). There is also a coming of age story of the most incredible athlete the world has ever seen, who also happens to be the greatest superstar in the world of sport. ...
