Movies
These are the movies we have seen recently.
🍿 Ikkis (2026) – ★★★★☆
Even with inconsistent editing, Ikkis is the anti-war war movie we need today. I watched this only coz of Sriram Raghavan behind the camera and it didn’t disappoint. No jingoism of any kind, and represents Pakistanis as humans with feelings – it’s a surprise that a deeply emphatic movie about people on both sides can get made in India today. The performances are all first rate but bookended by Dharmendra’s bittersweet and endearing last performance. I did not expect an Indian movie to take a tone like this movie did about India Pakistan.
🍿 Fall (2022) – ★★☆☆☆
The movie has some legit vertigo inducing scenes. But it runs out of steam so quickly with horrendous acting to boot. Wish it was better – there was a decent movie in there somewhere.
🍿 Gladiator (2000) – ★★★★★
Watched it again with kid after like decade(s) so I had mostly forgotten a lot of story. What a sweeping epic and I forgot how fucking good Joaquin Phoenix. They simply don’t make movies like these anymore.
🍿 The Fable (2025) – ★☆☆☆☆
Omg I really tried hard over 3 sittings to get through this and only managed 40 mins. Whatever the fuck this crap was.
A well made court procedural that took us by surprise that makes a good point about law vs justice.
🍿 Speed (1994) – ★★★★☆
Fun campy masala mix that we rewatched again after it first came out. R enjoyed it and I honestly did not remember the movie at all!
🍿 Tere Ishk Mein (2025) – ★☆☆☆☆
Jesus this was horrible. And level of absolute nonsense, complete lack of logic and even hilarity at end was something. Wow.
🍿 28 Years Later (2025) – ★★☆☆☆
A completely needless sequel. Why does this story exist? It’s just more and more of same but now with even more gore. Was expecting Boyle to come up with something novel and it’s just really a painful watch.
