Enola Holmes 2 Movie Review

enola

There is something about the world created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It has always fascinated me for many reasons, but the biggest reason would be how deep-rooted the characters and narrative are to reality. The power of his writing is such that it stays relevant even when creators play around with it. It has been modernised, has had changes to the geography/physical setting and even had the gender of main characters flipped. As long as the core remained intact, all of it came together beautifully. ...  More

A Noir Whodunit

Raat Akeli Hai is an investigative thriller that beautifully mixes the classic 'whodunit' with noir elements.

The film stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, playing Inspector Jatil Yadav, the unmarried cop with old school ideologies about the appropriate life partner. In true noir style, Jatil is a loner who gets smitten by the key suspect, Radha, played by Radhika Apte. Every scene they have together is oozing with unbridled chemistry and is a treat to watch.  ...  More

That's because it was the first big Bollywood film that had decided to release via online streaming on Amazon Prime Video. So for the first time in my life, I sat down with my family and enjoyed a movie premiere, from the comfort of my home. In case anyone is wondering, let me tell you, Gulabo Sitabo is as enjoyable from the cosy corner of your home, as it would be on the big screen.  ...  More
