‘Wonderland’ is a visually stunning film that explores grief through a near-future simulation service allowing people to reconnect with lost loved ones.

The film makes a sincere effort to portray characters struggling financially amid post-pandemic recession. But a contrived resolution highlights the film’s uninspired political imagination.

‘Ke Ghar Ke Dera—Ghar No. 2’ is emotionally shallow. Its fragmented narratives and sidelined female characters fail to leave an impact.

The movie takes viewers on a quiet, powerful journey through history, tradition, and personal rebellion—all without heavy dialogue or drama.

The movie is set in modern-day Nepal and inspired by real events.

The simplicity of the cinematography complements the understated elegance of the film’s storyline.

The movie blends magical realism with social commentary on themes such as identity and cultural conflict.

The movie resonates with those who’ve been told to ‘play it safe’ instead of following their passions.

The film, though it has its flaws, doesn’t follow a typical love story formula. It dares to be different.

It is an earnest movie that discusses many social issues but in the process loses its narrative focus and emotional depth.

‘The Mehta Boys’ explores the strained relationship between a father and son, highlighting their emotional distance.

‘Girls Rewriting Destiny’ follows the journey of 27 women attempting to summit Ganja La Chuli.

With well-developed characters and sharp humour, the film successfully balances comedy with social commentary.
