Anupama Chopra Reviews

"Bad Newz," a sequel to "Good Newzz," explores a complex pregnancy scenario where a woman is pregnant with twins from two different fathers. Featuring Vicky Kaushal, Tripti Dimri, and Ammy Virk, the film includes nostalgic music and glossy visuals. Does the gloss get into the way of sincere storytelling, or do we find ourselves in the midst of an earnest Bollywood Comedy?

Bad Newz Movie Review by Anupama Chopra | Vicky Kaushal | Tripti Dimri | Ammy Virk

"Kill," directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, is a raw and thrilling film set on a train, featuring intense close-quarters combat and extreme violence. The story follows commandos Amrit and Viresh rescuing Amrit’s girlfriend from dacoits. Despite its brutality, the film captivates with powerful performances, dark humor, and social commentary, blurring the lines between heroes and villains.

Kalki 2898 AD Movie Review by Anupama Chopra | Amitabh Bachchan | Prabhas | Deepika Padukone

Munjya is a rakshas from Maharashtrian folklore, a malevolent spirit born from an incomplete ritual. In this horror-comedy, a boy's unrequited love and violent tendencies turn him into a Munjya, haunting his love interest. Directed by Aditya Sarpotdar, the film blends traditional horror with humor and social commentary, featuring Abhay Verma as the unlikely hero. Is this addition to the Stree-Bhediya universe worth the watch, or is another hit-and-miss in the horror-comedy genre?

Amar Singh Chamkila Movie Review by Anupama Chopra | Diljit Dosanjh | Imtiaz Ali | Film Companion

"Maidaan" depicts the remarkable journey of Indian football coach Syed Abdul Rahim, who led the team to unprecedented success in the 1950s and 1960s. Director Amit Ravindranath Sharma captures the emotional intensity of Rahim's story, in a runtime that lasts around 3 hours. Ajay Devgn's portrayal of Rahim is marked by brooding intensity, complemented by Priyamani's nuanced performance as his wife. But does the film’s writing, and execution do justice to the story being told?
