Amit Masurkar’s darkly comic NEWTON is a brilliantly pointed take on Indian democracy.
Hotel Salvation
Hotel Salvation conveys a philosophical examination of where contemporary India finds itself now and where it sees itself headed in the near future.

Directors Khushboo Ranka and Vinay Shukla rely almost exclusively on a broad brush to paint the narrative of political figure Arvind Kejriwal.
Baahubali: The Conclusion
Baahubali: The Conclusion is a triumph of Rajamouli’s ambitious vision, with the sheer scale of the spectacle is itself worth the price of admission.
Lion
Instead of adding any nuance or complexity to representations of India and Indian characters, Lion traffics in obnoxious generalisations and harmful stereotypes.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Tumbledown
With terrific performances from Rebecca Hall and Jason Sudeikis, TUMBLEDOWN rises above rom-com trappings to becoming a moving look at grief and the grotesque nature of celebrity.
