Philip's is a light-hearted film you can enjoy with your family and safely recommend to your friends, endorses Divya Nair.

Aarya Aakhri Vaar should have been slicker and more polished than the first, or at least ended with a louder bang, observes Deepa Gahlot.

Article 370 is not as crude as some of the openly propagandist films made in recent times. It could at least open up a discussion on what is to be done to heal the wounds of the people of Kashmir, which years of shrieking TV debaters could not do, feels Deepa Gahlot.

Huma Qureshi's Rani Bharti was the ace in the pack, but everything that she does in this season smacks more of script conveniences than careful plotting, observes Deepa Gahlot.

Yeh Meri Family 3 is developing into a Wonder Years kind of coming-of-age comedy that Indian viewers can relate to, observes Deepa Gahlot.

Such a set of greedy and amoral characters have seldom been assembled in a Web series, observes Deepa Gahlot.

While Season 3 is no match to the previous seasons, it would be fair to expect there is a lot more for the season to reveal in terms of romance and suspense, observes Divya Nair.

There are enough threads left to weave a Season 4, hopefully without the dark clouds hovering over Phulera.

The new season takes the students out of their preoccupation with studies to other problems -- jealousy of another's easy success, a blip in a romance, financial crunch, meltdowns, discovers Deepa Gahlot.

Pankaj Tripathi anchored the first two seasons with his performance. Here, he is made to sit it out for most of the show, and none of the actors, except for a fiery Ali Fazal, have the charisma to hold the viewer's attention, observes Deepa Gahlot.

When it gets to its silly climax where the dots are finally joined, you can't help but see how cheap these thrills are, sighs Mayur Sanap.

Sector 36 goes for the gruesomeness and shock; watching it needs a tough heart or a quick averting of the eyes, warns Deepa Gahlot.

While several international films and Web series on the OTT have explored the dangers of AI, it's interesting to see a desi take on it, believes Divya Nair.

A gleefully hammy Madhuri and Vidya's volley of death stares and evil laughs engage in a ruthless glamorous tug of war in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, notes Sukanya Verma.

'You could see the purity of Wajid's soul when he talked to kids on reality shows.'

'Basuda hardly spoke, but he had a sense of humour and that showed in his films.'

Sushant finished off his innings in style by scoring high on his last theatrical release, Chichhore, a film that was ironically about suicide not being a solution.

'Where are the funny writers on Indian television and OTT platforms?''Where are the sitcoms?' asks Vanita Kohli Khandekar.

'It's a performance that puts the Bachchan hysteria to shame,' observes Sreehari Nair.

'Sushant Singh Rajput, a bright young lad who had a life beyond films, was probably too good for Bollywood.''To blame his death by suicide on a gang of Bollywood bullies is stretching the point too far,' argues Saibal Chatterjee.

'I did not find anything atrociously out of place about the depiction of the IAF's image,' says Group Captain Murli Menon (retd).

The Oscars is prestigious and all artists covet it but ultimately, the business of winning is ruthless and political. And India has seldom risen to the challenge, argues Sukanya Verma.

The film didn't offer the unfettered entertainment which everyone sought -- it was out-and-out a docu-drama, not a masala movie, notes Sandeep Goyal.

'This is not a bolt from the blue.'

Aseem Chhabra watched some great films and some huge disappointments in 2021.

The failure of Decoupled is that, as it deals almost solely in 'snapshots of insight', it fails to showcase how life flows, how the world goes round, how things unfold, feels Rohit Sathish Nair.
