Overall, despite its scale and ambition, Dhurandhar 2 feels slightly weaker in comparison to the original film, which was released in December 2025. While the sequel amps up action and visual spectacle, it misses the tighter storytelling that made the first film a blockbuster.Read at source

Overall, Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is not a groundbreaking comedy, nor does it attempt to be one. It sticks to the familiar David Dhawan playbook and delivers exactly what it promises, an entertaining theatrical experience filled with laughs, romance, confusion and nostalgia.Read at source

Parts of the screenplay feel predictable and the storytelling occasionally maintains the same emotional tone for a little too long.Read at source

Director Nag Ashwin deserves a pat on the back for the efforts he has put in to take Indian cinema to the global level with this film. His film’s climax will remind you of Avengers: Endgame or any other Marvel movie. Ashwin did not digress from his script, churned out the best of all actors, and spent much time on VFX to make it look ‘futuristic’. He also mixed Mahabharat with today’s world in a very well-defined way. He does not let either of them overpower the other and manages to strike a balance. However, the director should have paid much more attention to the action sequences in the first half. They look weak and leave you disappointed.Read at source

Remember the old Khichdi days? Pop Kaun will remind you of that. The show is lame, very lame. There’s a joke in every dialogue and scene. Even when you are not expecting anything, makers will make sure you smile. Sometimes the jokes are so lame that you end up laughing at that too (thinking how can something be this stupid!). Maybe that’s what makes the show hilarious and bearable to watch. The writers and makers have made sure that the element of comedy remains throughout. However, the comedy-throughout and lame jokes are also something that makes you wonder, ‘Why am I actually watching this show?’ The show is not intriguing. The plot is very predictable. There is nothing great or extraordinary about it. There are scenes when you are not really enjoying ‘Pop Kaun’ but only ‘popcorn’. Overall, the Pop Kaun is your guilty pleasure.Read at source

What works wonders for the film is the way a simple thriller story is presented.Read at source
