By BPN News Desk September 8, 2025

Inspector Zende is a film that delivers entertainment in a quirky, unusual way, but it ultimately works best as a one-time watch. The movie’s playful tone keeps the viewer engaged, yet it also leaves behind a sense of incompleteness. The missed opportunities in the storyline and screenplay mean that while the ride is enjoyable, it […]

The Bengal Files Review (1.5/5): Sensationalism Over Substance

By BPN News Desk September 6, 2025

I watched The Bengal Files with the expectation that it would shed light on one of the darkest yet least remembered chapters of Indian history, but what unfolded on screen was an absolute disappointment.

Coolie (2025) – A Vintage Rajinikanth Show With Uneven Cargo

By BPN News Desk August 14, 2025

Walking into Coolie, I expected a Lokesh Kanagaraj action-thriller with the density and grit of his earlier work. What I got instead was a film that sails on the unshakable charisma of Rajinikanth but often drifts when it comes to story discipline.
