By BPN News Desk September 6, 2025

Entertainment Reviews

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. The movie is all over the place. Instead of focusing on the core subject with sensitivity

Hridayapoorvam Review: A Warm Family Drama That Charms Despite Familiarity ★★★½ (3.6/5)

By BPN News Desk August 30, 2025

From the moment Hridayapoorvam began, we sensed we were in for a gentle, heartfelt experience. Sathyan Anthikad’s direction leans into the everyday rhythms of life, and with Mohanlal at the center, the story feels rooted, familiar, and reassuring. The film follows Sandeep, a heart transplant recipient whose journey takes him to Pune, where he meets […]

Param Sundari Review: A Breezy Rom-Com That Trips Over Its Own Clichés ★★½ (2.5/5)

By BPN News Desk August 30, 2025

As we stepped out of Param Sundari, we were left with the impression of a film that dazzles in patches but struggles to find real depth. The setup had us intrigued—Sidharth Malhotra as Param, a Delhi boy who believes in algorithms when it comes to love, paired with Janhvi Kapoor as Sundari, a Malayali woman […]

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. It’s a crowd-pleaser in many ways, but not without noticeable dents in its […]

Son of Sardaar 2 Movie Review: Desi Chaos with a Familiar Smile

By BPN News Desk August 1, 2025

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.0/5) Ajay Devgn returns as Jassi Randhawa in Son of Sardaar 2, the long-awaited follow-up to the 2012 masala hit. 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. Set […]

Kingdom Movie Review: A Stylish Spy Thriller That Falls Short of Emotional Impact

By BPN News Desk August 1, 2025

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.2/5) Vijay Deverakonda returns to the big screen with Kingdom, a slick, high-stakes Telugu-language spy thriller directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. Marketed as the launchpad of a two-part franchise, the film promises adrenaline-fueled espionage, grand visuals, and a personal redemption arc—but delivers only selectively on that promise. Deverakonda plays a

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
