One Battle After Another – Movie Review

By BPN News Desk October 2, 2025

Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another is an audacious blend of dark comedy, political satire, and action spectacle that cements his reputation as one of modern cinema’s boldest directors. Running at nearly three hours, the film refuses to settle into one genre, instead shifting between screwball farce, paranoid thriller, and tender family drama. 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. The movie is all over the place. Instead of focusing on the core subject with sensitivity and depth, the filmmakers reduced […]

By BPN News Desk August 30, 2025

From the moment Hridayapoorvam began, we sensed we were in for a gentle, heartfelt experience.

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 […]

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 […]
