Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos (2026)
45%
EDIT
“That’s not to say Happy Patel is inaccessible; it just doesn’t pretend to be something else in pursuit of validation. It’s all so free-spirited that it’s easy to forgive its hit-or-miss translation onto the screen. ” –

Saali Mohabbat (2025)
EDIT
“Saali Mohabbat has this short-film-coded habit of unfolding in punchlines rather than moments. It’s why the title sounds less like an indignation of love and more like the one that got away. A bit like the film itself.” –

EDIT
“The thing about Tere Ishk Mein is that it’s not even fundamentally sound. It is detached from the (civilised) world we live in as well as the grammar of storytelling.” –

Baramulla (2025)
54%
EDIT
“As a horror film, Baramulla is efficient with its tropes: dysfunctional family, haunted cop, creepy new house, missing children, the possibility of vengeful spirits, gunfights and jump-scares vying for attention, human terror posing as celestial chaos.” –
