Suparn S Varma’s Haq stands tall as one of the most fearless courtroom dramas in recent Hindi cinema. The film revisits the emotionally charged debate between faith and fundamental rights through the lens of a woman’s quiet defiance. It is not loud or theatrical, yet every scene leaves a mark.

Ek Chatur Naar Movie Review

By BPN News Desk September 15, 2025

I walked into Ek Chatur Naar with a fair bit of curiosity. The film had the promise of being a sharp, witty black comedy thriller — the kind of cat-and-mouse game that thrives on tension, clever writing, and just the right amount of humour. And to its credit, the script lays a solid foundation. The […]

Directed with unapologetic flair and armed with a generous dose of slapstick and patriotic overtones, this sequel sticks to its roots—loud, chaotic, and resolutely committed to entertaining its audience, logic be damned.

Maalik (2025): Another Tired Ode to the Gangster That Even Rajkummar Rao Can’t Save

By BPN News Desk July 11, 2025

Bollywood’s love affair with the gangster genre has officially reached saturation point—and Maalik is the latest, and possibly most fatigued, offering in this long line of glorified underworld sagas. There seems to be no dearth of filmmakers eager to romanticize crime lords, drug syndicates, and political thugs, repackaging the same morally bankrupt narrative under
