Airlift | One of the best war thrillers of the year
Update: I think Airlift is one of the very very few movies to have a 9.x rating on IMDb that too with votes upward of 10,000. I rest my case. You should definitely watch this. 😎 I’m gonna be honest with everyone. I’m not a big Bollywood fan with movies like ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo‘ […]
Time Lapse – EXPLAINED | A mind-bending Time paradox
Time travel movies are fast becoming a real favorite for me. Recently ‘Predestination‘ blew me away, and now ‘Time Lapse‘ has thoroughly impressed me as well. I just love the way how they all seem to be based on a single premise – “Don’t mess with time!”. I have seen a lot of great time-travel […]

Ex Machina | The perfect blend of Sci-Fi with Thriller
Ever since I watched the trailer I was intrigued by the idea of a humanoid robot with super enhanced AI (Artificial intelligence).

Mr Robot Pilot | Brilliant attempt on Hacking genre of TV shows
Ahan!! A new TV show! I saw Mr Robot on IMDb in coming soon section few weeks back. But I didn’t gave it much of a thought because it didn’t seem that interesting from it’s cover picture. I thought it may be just another tv show talking bull about government and how they are cruel […]
NH10 – A Fast-paced, Scary and Brutal edge-of-seat Thriller!
#Bollywood #NoSpoiler #Review It is quite onerous to write about NH10 without spoiling it for those who haven’t seen it yet.
