Alpha Best Action Movie Reviews :

Armed with the potent Alpha serum, Sita (Alia Bhatt) is trained by Colonel Fateh (Bobby Deol) to become an elite assassin and a valuable asset for India’s special forces. However, everything changes when she discovers the truth about her past and goes rogue.Review: Along the way, Sita crosses paths with Durga (Sharvari), RAW chief Kaul (Anil Kapoor), and a tragic past that binds the trio together while reopening old wounds.Shiv Rawail’s Alpha rests on the petite shoulders of two capable female leads, neither of whom are conventional action stars — a relatively novel proposition for Bollywood. Rooted in the trauma of a stolen childhood, Alpha initially shows promise of crafting an action thriller around buried pain and emotional scars.

 You expect that inner conflict to shape the narrative. Even the idea of introducing two superheroic female assassins, reminiscent of Black Widow, into the YRF Spy Universe feels genuinely exciting on paper. Bollywood creating its own genetically enhanced super soldiers armed with elite combat training, think Captain America or The Winter Soldier, is an ambitious idea in itself.Unfortunately, Alpha soon devolves into a dull, fragmented and underwhelming drama, clumsily pieced together with painfully expository dialogue. It fails to establish the emotional resonance it sets out to create right from the beginning. 

There’s clearly more to Sita than being a mere killing machine, and her internal struggle could have formed the film’s emotional core. Instead, the story abruptly shifts focus to family conflict, hollow patriotism, forced twist and a pointless cameo by a light-eyed superstar.The writing and execution derail the film completely. The dialogues and repetitive war cries over-explain everything. “Alpha is all skill, no luck. Sabse pehle, sabse tej, sabse veer.” A scientist announces, “Iska IQ high hai,” while referring to a super soldier. RAW chief Kaul enters, only for someone to tell him, “Mossad chief aapse baat karna chahte hai,” simply to establish how important he is. We are also generously informed that “Battle se peeche hatne ko bhaagna nahi, strategic retreat kehte hai.” 

“Iss baar Sita Lanka khud jalayegi” is perhaps the only powerful line in the entire film.This origin story feels so empty that it has the depth and range of an energy drink or athleisure brand commercial, further diluted by ill-placed and inconsequential songs. The music often feels like an advertisement jingle, with “Tu hi toh Agni hai” blaring every time Alia Bhatt breaks into combat mode.A braided, stoic Alia Bhatt, despite her baby face, delivers a sincere performance and remains committed throughout, but the film gives her very little to work with. Sharvari is reduced to a bubbly sidekick, wasting much of her potential. 

Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor bring strong screen presence, but even they are let down by an overly convenient screenplay.The action sequences are slickly shot and Alpha certainly had potential, but it crashes into a narrative devoid of thrill, unnerving tension and grit required for a compelling action thriller. You ultimately walk away disappointed. This is no Ballerina from the world of John Wick.

Toxic Best Action Hindi Movie Review:  

Geetu Mohandas’ ambitious ideas struggle to survive in ‘Toxic’, a film dominated by Yash’s star image and visual excess. 50-50. That’s the balance one hopes for when a director and actor with polar-opposite sensibilities come together. You expect their individual styles to meet somewhere in the middle, creating a blend that belongs to both. In Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown Ups, the disconnect between two people who see cinema differently is apparent. The result is an ambitious misfire.

Yash, who co-wrote the movie, said Toxic was going to be “a gangster drama with a difference.” He had hinted at an action movie that deals with “an interesting aspect of human life.” The actor was right. The problem is that those ideas are brought to the screen with terrible execution.

The gangster-drama thread revolves around the opium trade in Goa around Independence, when the region was still under Portuguese rule. Raya (Yash), a trusted associate of crime boss Salvador, sets his sights on monopolising the trade. The film’s human side explores Raya’s complicated relationship with women. He is drawn to Rebecca (Tara Sutaria), Salvador’s daughter, but what he feels for her is driven more by need than genuine affection. Things take a turn when he falls in love with Nadia (an impressive Kiara Advani), a circus performer.

Mesmerized by Nadia, a violent and increasingly “toxic” Raya loses focus on the empire he dreams of building. Their love story starts promisingly. Nadia holds a mirror up to Raya’s animalistic attitude. “Next time when you make love, I feel like you care about me and not feel attacked,” she tells him. For a while, Nadia seems to have some semblance of personality amid a host of characters who appear plastic (Sudev Nair, as Raaya’s trusted soldier, is completely wasted). But the relationship never blossoms into anything particularly interesting, as Toxic crams in one plot point after another. Ujwal Kulkarni’s choppy editing only makes matters worse, as does the film’s relentless showboating of Raya.

With Toxic, Yash makes it clear that he is, above all, an image-conscious star. The dialogues of his character, which he is now understood to have written, feel like they belong to the KGF universe. Even his dialogue delivery seems like an extension of his performance in KGF. None of it fits the world of Toxic.

It’s obvious to wonder how this film could have been, had it made room for more drama. I wonder why every conversation between Raya and his lady love had to lead to sex? Why do filmmakers forget the magic of intense conversation? The five main lead female characters (Huma Qureshi and Rukmini being the other two) start off with promise, but don’t get enough room to make a difference to the story.

Geetu Mohandas’ staging often feels painfully artificial. Characters stand around in fixed positions and deliver their lines, as though they are waiting for their turn to speak. There is little movement, spontaneity or unpredictability in these scenes; everything feels very carefully arranged and not particularly lived-in.

Raya turns to violence because, at one point, it is the only way he can save his sister Ganga (Nayanthara). But the violence soon becomes inseparable from him, clinging to him like a second skin. After a while though, the endless gunfire and action sequences begin to feel stale and exhausting. There is neither a compelling reason for Raya’s thirst for blood, nor a worthy adversary to challenge him, until his son Ticket (Yash again), jolts him out of his violent stupor.

Spider Man New Movie Reviews: 

“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is my favorite movie of the summer. I am going to start this review by saying it is one GIANT SPOILER. I typically create dropdowns for a few specific plot spoilers in my reviews, but this movie proved difficult to use that tactic. So, if you don’t want to be spoiled, go see the movie and come back to see how it relates to the faith.

Spider-Man has always been one of my favorite superheroes. It is cool to see the scale at which some superheroes have to fight to protect the planet, but there is something special about having a friendly neighborhood hero.

Tom Holland’s Peter Parker/Spider-Man has been through a lot up until now. Among other hardships, he was introduced in the middle of the Avengers infighting during “Captain America: Civil War” (2016), he was a victim of the “blip” in “Avengers: Infinity War” (2018), his mentor and father figure sacrificed himself in “Avengers: End Game” (2019), and the world has forgotten Peter Parker due to the events of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” (2021).

It is here we find our web-slinging hero, trying to do his duties as Spider-Man and maintaining his full anonymity.

Solitude versus Loneliness

Peter goes out of his way to pour his entire identity into Spider-Man. He even says, “Spider-Man has to do the hard thing even if it breaks Peter’s heart.” By putting Peter aside, however, he fails to recognize that his grief is not only over the loss of Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), but also over the loss of his own identity as a human being.

His self-isolation creates an aura of sadness around him, even as he continues to save the day. Other characters he encounters recognize this sadness and point out that he either needs to take a break from being Spider-Man or acknowledge the toll it is taking on him. Throughout the movie, Peter denies these warnings.

Frank Castle/The Punisher (Jon Bernthal) serves as a cautionary tale for Peter. His response to grief has led him to swear off human connection almost entirely and to define “doing good” as killing criminals without giving them an opportunity for redemption.

When Peter tries to subtly re-enter the lives of MJ (Zendaya) and Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon), he discovers that MJ has a boyfriend. His trauma and unresolved grief cause his powers to evolve. When driven by anger, he loses control of those powers and begins to resemble The Punisher in his ruthlessness.

From a Catholic perspective, there is an important distinction between solitude and loneliness. Solitude can be an intentional period of being alone in order to grow in one's relationship with God and, ultimately, to reconnect more deeply with others when that period of solitude ends. St. Alphonsus Liguori speaks of the fruits of solitude in The 12 Steps to Holiness and Salvation, stating, “Souls that love God feel a strong attraction for solitude, for they know that God converses familiarly with those who shun the noise and distractions of the world.”

Loneliness, by contrast, is an unhappy state of being alone. It carries a longing for connection, but the individual has—or feels that he has—barriers preventing him from connecting with others. For Peter, his self-imposed isolation has no conscious end date. Rather than helping him heal, it gradually eats away at his humanity.

Peter's use of technology, and his literal use of a mask to connect with others as Spider-Man, also reflects the way many of us use social media to seek connection while lacking deep relationships in real life. As four years pass at the beginning of the film, Peter watches his friends move through MIT by watching Ned's reels. The reels show highlights of their lives and the good times they share, but they keep Peter from knowing the full story of their lives and ultimately deepen his sense of isolation.

How true is this for many people who rely heavily on social media? We can see only the surface of another person's life. We may know where someone went, what they ate, or what they did over the weekend, without ever knowing who they truly are behind their own “mask.”

It is only when Peter begins to make meaningful connections—allowing his true identity to be known by a select group of people close to him—that he begins to embrace the changes in his life and succeeds as the hero of the movie. His journey comes full circle at the end, when he brings flowers to Aunt May's grave and says, “You'd be happy to know that I've decided I'm not going to do this alone anymore.”
Embracing the Responsibility of Adulthood

Hand-in-hand with Peter's loneliness and grief is his character arc of embracing the responsibilities of adulthood.

The famous line associated with every variation of Spider-Man is, “With great power comes great responsibility.” Uncle Ben is usually the one who utters this line before his death, sending Peter on his hero's journey. In the MCU, Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) delivers this lesson in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Peter is clearly exercising great responsibility as a superhero, but he is not taking the same responsibility in his personal life. His loneliness and grief cause his arachnid DNA to evolve in the same way a spider's does when entering adulthood. This transformation gives him heightened senses and organic webs, similar to Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man. Yet his fear of his new powers causes him to act uncontrollably.

Instead of learning to navigate these new abilities responsibly, Peter immediately jumps into action and causes significant harm, nearly killing a police officer while fighting a mind-controlled Scorpion (Michael Mando).

Under the weight of this transformation, while simultaneously facing a threat unlike anything he has experienced before in the mind-hopping Jean Grey (Sadie Sink), Peter attempts to suppress his changes by creating an inhibitor. He even pretends to be a student and seeks advice from Bruce Banner/Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), who has created an inhibitor to suppress the Hulk.

Based on Peter's questions, Bruce asks him, “What if what you want to control needs to be expressed?”

Bruce becomes another cautionary tale for Peter. When Jean Grey's mind control breaks the inhibitor, Bruce finds it nearly impossible to control the Hulk as his long-suppressed emotions are released.

With the inhibitor, Peter can continue fighting as Spider-Man, but he is unable to realize his full potential. Only when he embraces his changing powers and takes responsibility for them is he able to fight through Jean's defenses and help her receive the help she truly needs.

Although Peter's story is grandiose because he is a superhero, he is still experiencing the same transformational periods that all of us encounter as adults. People die. Friends drift apart. Relationships change. The weight of the world can sometimes feel as though it is resting on our shoulders.

Part of maturing into adulthood is recognizing that we are responsible for our actions and for the direction of our lives. In the life of faith, this means that we cannot continue practicing the faith simply because it was handed down to us. We must take personal responsibility for developing our own relationship with Christ.

Christ remains with us regardless of the changes we encounter as we persevere through life's challenges. He also established His Church as a means of uniting His people and allowing us to participate in the sacramental life as the Body of Christ. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states:

Khalifa Movie Reviews : 

When a star plays a notorious smuggler, there has to be a compelling reason for him to become one. Vysakh’s Khalifa provides Aamir Ali (Prithviraj Sukumaran) a reason with some emotional pull. A one-liner for the film could be this: ‘a heart-rending story of a man who becomes a master gold smuggler to repay his honest father’s debts caused by corrupt politicians’. However, the narrative lacks the intended emotional pull or the expected thrills. The similarity to umpteen films released in the 1980s and 90s adds to the movie’s dullness.

With antagonists also being gold smugglers, writer Jinu Abraham differentiates between good and bad smugglers. Yet no effort appears to have gone into updating the old story, which has now been covered in Malayalam cinema from almost every possible angle.

Apart from its novel depiction of the ways smugglers operate and a few reasonably executed fight sequences, little else seems to work in Khalifa.

The hyping up of the superstar cameo has something to do with this lack of novelty. The cameo comes too late in the day, after almost everything is done and dusted, to have any impact on the story or on the audience. It arrives almost as a postscript, teasing the scary possibility of a sequel, but it is unlikely that anyone on the film team will be ready for that misadventure after how this one turned out.

Even if one keeps aside the novelty factor, one of the weakest links is in the writing of the antagonist characters - smuggler Harris Basheer (Neil Nitin Mukesh) and politician Raghavan (Shammi Thilakan). At no point do they seem like worthy adversaries to Aamir Ali, who is always two steps ahead of them. The conflicts also don’t create anticipation. They don’t generate enough drama in the sagging narrative. One of the plot points involving Aamir’s close friend and associate Samad (Sanju Sivram) is sketchily written. To make up for the lack of drama and imagination, some recent real-world incidents have also been woven in, providing a clear sign of lazy writing.

Neither the writing nor the staging of the sequences produces memorable moments vital in a film of this nature. The repetitive background score and ‘slow motion walks’ of the characters add to the agony. Although Prithviraj has evidently put in a lot of physical effort for the character, there is nothing much he could have done with such a screenplay. Mohini, as Aamir’s mother, and Malvika Sharma, as Aamir’s wife, the only notable female presences in the movie, hardly get a few minutes of screen time.

Awarpon 2 movie review: Emraan Hashmi’s faded sequel doesn’t rise from the riches of its past

Even if the action sequences, lighting, and camerawork have improved multifold from 2007, the sequel struggles to hold itself together as it imagines the world of ‘Awarapan’ purely as a generic genre piece, when its soul lies elsewhere

Ever since its release in 2007, Awarapan lived as a ghost. It was spoken about more and watched less. Its protagonist, Shivam (Emraan Hashmi), became an emblem of loneliness and love and was immortalised with his sacrifice. His melancholic face bore the brunt of his incessant vagrancy. Shivam carried little sign of life, and that’s what made him lethal. Seeing the death of his love shattered his spirits; preserving her memory infused in him the will to live. That’s what separated him from Kim Sun-woo (Lee Byung-hun), the charming, no-nonsense protagonist of the sentimental South Korean thriller, A Bittersweet Life, which inspired the unofficial remake of Awarapan. However, even with an adapted structure, director Mohit Suri and writer Shagufta Rafique breathed new life into the 2007 film, with its moving, musical rumination on faith as a pathway to healing and love as the seed of liberation.


In contrast, the sequel overlooks what made Shivam compelling in the first place. His supposed death at the end of the first part while uniting two lovers carried a touch of the divine. It became an epochal sacrifice, washing away the sins of his past and uniting him with his beloved in paradise. However, Shivam didn’t die, as the sequel tells us. Decades after the fatal day, he now lives a silent life in the Indian countryside, still bearing the pain of getting separated from Aaliyah (Shriya Saran) as he visits her grave and questions the meaning of his existence. Strangely, he remains stuck in the reflection of his own image. The evolution of Shivam’s state of mind in the glorious climax of Awarapan is swiftly ignored. Rather, he becomes his own archetype.


There’s more focus on his exteriors. His revival is explained in passing without ever delving into what fundamentally changed in his personality, apart from his slick biceps. So, Shivam remains chained to the person he was in the first part, a version that refused to fade away from the hearts of anyone who saw the film and which also prompted the making of a sequel. As a result, there’s more pandering here than movement. Shivam is no longer a person, but a set piece.

What it forgets to inherit from both, however, is the monumentality of emotions that Shivam and Sun-woo carry within. So, even if the action sequences have improved multifold, the lighting has become better equipped at capturing contrast, and the camera offers visuals to marvel over, the film struggles to hold itself together as it imagines the world of Awarapan purely as a generic genre piece, when its soul lies elsewhere. Mohit Suri’s absence is strongly felt when ‘To Phir Aao’ is heard without any powerful sequence to complement its evocative charm. On the other hand, ‘Tere Mera Rishta Purana’ still creates a soul-stirring effect when it plays at a pivotal juncture, sealing a pre-climactic moment with Emraan’s assured presence.

The actor’s face brings back the specificity of Shivam’s pain even after all these years. He carried the weight of Awarapan’s diverse themes with a rare fluidity. He does the same here, and there’s a constant feeling of not being able to see him go beyond due to the limitations in the screenplay, which renders even Shabana Azmi into an awkward mould, made to blurt Urdu dialogues as she wears a witch-like costume. She deserved better, and so did Emraan, whose bad-boy romance films in the late 2000s generated a separate fan base. Awarapan was among the few where his character had an instant likeability factor. His image of a “serial-kisser” gave way to a charming, sensitive core. He is as sincere nineteen years later as Awarapan 2 makes him captive to conventions rather than liberating him with subversions. Now, who’s going to rescue the rescuer?

Superman Movies Review :  

The first word we see Superman (David Corenswet) say on-screen — he mutters it to himself, having just had his big red butt entirely handed to him in a fight — is, "Golly." (Throughout the film, he peppers his dialogue with the occasional "gosh.")Later, Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) makes fun of his taste in music (bland, radio-friendly pop-punk).

When questioned about his reasons for performing a certain super-deed that saved thousands of lives, his response is incredulity: "Why? I mean … to do good! For, you know … good!"


At one point, instead of gloating over a fallen foe, he launches into an impassioned speech about his abject love of humanity and his own, all-too-human fallibility.

In terms of visual iconography, Gunn not only returns the classic red trunks to the Superman costume, he doubles down on them. He makes sure they evoke an old-school circus strongman, as the character's original illustrator Joe Shuster intended. (Which means, in the 2025 of sleek, sweat-wicking athleisure, they resolutely, even defiantly, resemble nothing so much as granny panties. Deal with it.)

Recent attempts to tell live-action Superman stories have shied away from his bright, hopeful, altruistic nature in favor of making him more cool and relatable (read: dark and brooding). That's not who he is; it never has been.

Superman is an ideal. He represents the best we can aspire to be. He's not the hero you relate to, à la Peter Parker/Spider-Man's ongoing struggle to pay his rent and buy Aunt May her damn medicine. He's the hero who inspires you, who shows you the way.

The way we Superman now

Every era gets the Superman it needs. Richard Donner's grand, mythic, unapologetically hopeful Superman: The Movie (1978) arrived in the wake of Vietnam and Watergate, when America had sunk into a defensive cynicism.

Gunn's Superman arrives at yet another time in American history when everything that we ostensibly stand for — bedrock American principles like justice for all, defending the defenseless, helping those in need — feel out of reach.

It's inspiring to be reminded what those ideals look like, even if Superman (and Superman) shows them to us through a bright, aspirational lens.

Stars: Ahaan Panday Aneet Padda Geeta Agarwal

Saiyaara Full Movie Reviews: Romance, raw emotions, cinematic visuals, and stirring music are the hallmarks of a Mohit Suri movie, and the director delivers on all these fronts. Writer Sankalp Sadanah sets the emotional tone early: Vaani is jilted on her wedding day. Six months later, she picks up the pieces of her broken heart and lands a gig as an intern journalist. Enter Krish, a hot-headed and troubled young musician with dreams of making it big. The two find solace in each other amid their personal struggles, until a tragedy strikes that will test their love and emotional strength. The warm, fuzzy romance that paves the way for deeper love and emotion in the rest of the movie strikes the right notes. However, the narrative glosses over what the tragedy truly entails, hastening things for convenience, making the story a tad unconvincing.

It’s a romantic outing we have seen before, but it stays relevant to the new-age world of social media, reels, and collabs.Suri gets the emotional core just right, but the film’s uneven pacing intermittently slows things down and often rushes through pivotal turns. Moments of raw emotion do land, though a slightly rushed climax leaves much to be desired. The film’s emotional core finds a match in its evocative music by Faheem Abdullah, Tanishk Bagchi, Rishabh Kant, Vishal Mishra, Arslan Nizami, Mithoon, and Sachet-Parampara. John Stewart Eduri’s background score enhances the overall

experience. 

Vikas Sivaraman’s cinematography lends the movie an unmistakable cinematic appeal, with energetic live performances and camera angles that effectively capture the tender love and emotional scenes.Ahaan Panday’s makes a smashing debut, capturing both the rough-edged swagger of a star-in-the-making and the vulnerability demanded later on. His prowess is on display in the finale as he revisits an earlier scene—channelling Virat ‘King’ Kohli—transforming the raw passion of the first half into pure emotion later. Aneet Padda is impressive in romantic and emotional scenes, and has a dainty yet commanding screen presence. The actress shines in a recording studio scene early on, when she talks about the enduring nature of emotions in music versus fleeting trends.Saiyaara is a visually lush, emotive, and melody-driven experience that’s effective as a romantic musical. Impressive leads, heartfelt romance and emotions, and melodic tracks make it a worthwhile one-time watch for romantic-musical fans.

Storyline: A lamp made out of precious metal from a meteor                   crash links the lives of three generations of heroes

'Ajayante Randam Moshanam’ (ARM) Review:TovinoThomas Shines in a Visually StunningDramaDespite a Weak Script.

Director Jithin Laal showcases glimpses of his craftsmanship, while Tovino Thomas elevates the film with unique gestures and traits for each of his three characters across different timelines. Heritage is central to debutant Jithin Laal’s Ajayante Randam Moshanam (ARM), shaping the film’s characters—some embracing it with pride, while others struggle to break free from its burdens. For Ajayan (Tovino Thomas), lineage is both a blessing and a curse; his great-grandfather Kunjikelu was a revered warrior, but his grandfather Maniyan was labeled a thief, a stain that threatens to follow him in a village where caste divides run deep. Screenwriter Sujith Nambiar weaves fantasy elements into a grounded narrative infused with folktale undertones. At the heart of this mystical tale is an ornate lamp, crafted from a rare metal born of a meteor crash, believed to possess magical powers that bring prosperity to its owner. This lamp is deeply intertwined with the destinies of Ajayan and his two ancestors (all portrayed by Tovino Thomas), shaping his fate in the present.

With a premise steeped in folklore, director Jithin Laal had ample material for immersive world-building—and he utilizes it effectively. The film swiftly navigates through the heroic legacies of Ajayan’s ancestors before settling into the present, where Ajayan leads an unremarkable life as an electrician, secretly communicating with his girlfriend Lekshmi (Krithi Shetty) via ham radio.

These early sequences unfold seamlessly, hinting at an engaging narrative with rewarding payoffs down the line. One of the standout sequences in this phase unfolds when the police enter Ajayan’s home while he is teaching Constitutional Rights to children. 

His mother’s look of disappointment seamlessly transitions into a scene from the past, drawing a powerful connection between history and the present. For a significant portion, the film successfully balances realism and fantasy, making even its more fantastical moments feel grounded.

However, midway through, the narrative begins to lose its grip as the screenplay fails to expand on its promising premise, instead treading familiar ground. While there is an attempt to weave in a thought-provoking subtext on monarchy versus democracy, the impact is lessened by characters explicitly stating it rather than letting it unfold naturally.

Jomon T. John’s striking cinematography enhances the visual effects, delivering breathtaking sequences that are particularly impressive given the film’s modest budget—a fraction of what some “pan-India” productions command. Though certain visuals leave one wanting more, the film, within its genre, offers no shortage of awe-inspiring set pieces.

Tovino Thomas shoulders the film with a compelling performance, infusing each of his three characters with distinct gestures and mannerisms that set them apart across different timelines. His portrayal of Maniyan, in particular, adds depth to the film, preventing it from becoming just another costume drama. Krithi Shetty has little scope to shine, while Surabhi Lakshmi, in her brief role as Maniyan’s wife Manikyam, makes a lasting impact. Most other characters, barring Basil Joseph’s friend role, feel underdeveloped and fail to leave a strong impression.

Suhana Bhatia (Janhvi Kapoor) is a young, ambitious, high ranking officer at the Indian embassy situated in London. Her posting there has been a bit controversial as it's hinted it was done at the behest of her father Dhanraj Bhatia (Adil Hussain). Sebin Josephkutty (Roshan Mathew), a RAW agent embedded inside the embassy, is irked by it the most and doesn't take kindly to her appointment. She meets a mysterious stranger Nakul (Gulshan Devaiah), and promptly falls in lust with him. But Nakul is not who he seems. She finds herself caught in a web of lies and deceit where those close to her might be perpetrators to a larger conspiracy targeting India. How she gets out of the dastardly situation and fouls the plan of the villains forms the crux of the film.

The makers of the film have made a smart choice in casting Janhvi Kapoor as the protagonist. She's someone who has been tackling the tag of nepo-kid all her life. So to play a character accused of being the same would seem like second skin for her. She's also a woman successfully navigating a man's world. In one of her interviews, she mentioned that despite her background and legacy, she still sometimes lacks the confidence of putting across her point of view as she doesn't want to hurt anyone's ego. That's precisely what her character constantly also grows through. Despite being the smartest person in the room, she's made to feel small and incompetent by the males around her. So the casting was bang on.

In a world inundated with smartphones, and smart devices, there's very little privacy left for anybody. The fear of their intimate moments being made public is a real threat for celebrities. Let alone celebs, we often hear of girls from common households being blackmailed through the use of sex videos. The hookup culture may have its virtues but your partner can also turn out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. In such circumstances, sometimes a person has nowhere to go and even has suicidal thoughts. It's hard to get out of such traps as they are set inside your mind and get strengthened with every negative thought. These very real life issues as well as the casual sexist behaviour and patriarchy faced by women at the workplace, are brought out in a way we can all relate to in the film. The good thing is that Janhvi isn’t painted as a victim but a survivor. She learns to rise above her fears and face life head on. Like a wounded tigress, she fights for lost pride and dignity and finally gets her life back on track. This struggle for survival later takes a tinge of patriotism as well, making the cause more noble in the process. National security takes precedence over personal gains and the heroine is shown fighting tooth and nail for her nation.

The first half of the film flows smoothly. The duplicity of Gulshan Devaiah’s character gets to you. You instantly root for Janhvi’s character and want her to get out of the mess as soon as possible. The emotional turmoil which she endures seems both real and scary. The film goes into a different zone then, making a shift from her personal issues to espionage. This transition could have been navigated better. The explosive climax makes up for the earlier hiccups. The ending leaves room for a sequel. Basically, one can view this film as the origin story for Janhvi’s character Suhana, who is all set to be a super spy in the next instalment. There’s also Jitendra Joshi, who plays a somewhat bumbling agent called Kamat and Ally Khan, who plays Suhana’s dapper boss.

Gulshan Devaiah looks good as a smooth-faced villain. He’s totally amoral and his arguments sound compelling. Thankfully, he isn’t shown as a radical terrorist but a mercenary. Rajesh Tailang, who plays the chauffeur, Adil Hussain and Rajendra Gupta, who is the corrupt minister, all do their bit, as does Meiyang Chang in his role of a loyal agent. Roshan Mathew hasn’t much to do initially but comes into his own later as a die-hard RAW agent willing to go any distance for his county. Janhvi starts off as the picture of poise and grace initially. Watching her go through her day as an embassy official or as a free-spirited girl having the time of her life after hours in London is easy on the eye. And as said earlier, you root for her when her world crumbles. Her transformation from a broken-down woman who climbs back to sanity and redemption is the film in a nutshell. A more nuanced writing would have served her better. She has given her all to the film and her sincere effort is to be lauded.
