Wogma rating: Watch but no rush
Quick review: The “glamourise violence/war” genre gets yet another feather on its hat. A glorious-looking, long feather; a well-performed one with solid dialogue; yet the overt romanticisation of brutality is like the feather has been plucked out mercilessly. Clearly, the focus is on the action, not the story or the character.
Wogma rating: Watch but no rush
Quick review: A stimulating “What if…?” that makes you wonder, “What if you were in that situation?” The film, though, comes across better than it is because of its freshness, performances, and a heart in the right place. Else, it is loud, tacky, and has an uneven pace.

Wogma rating: Add to 'must watch' list
Quick review: A slick whodunnit with a finger pointed to almost every character, but subtly. The final twist isn’t easy to guess though many sub-plots are predictable. The lingering pace is enjoyable but could’ve been a tad crisper for a better impact. (Streaming partner: Zee)
Wogma rating: Watch but no rush
Quick review: A 15–20-minute intense, amazing short story force-stretched to 2 hours with songs, melodrama, repetition and aggrandization of recklessness. (Streaming Partner: Jio)
Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: The social cause is an excuse to pad violence around. And a thick padding it is. Anything new? No; including the unnecessary segues, inane sub-plots, comic relief attempts, ill-placed songs, loud background score, overdone slo-mos, and so on. (Streaming partner: Amazon Prime)
Wogma rating: Add to that never-watched 'To Watch' list
Quick review: Top-class performers trying their best to infuse life into dull lines given to weirdly-defined characters. Streaming Partner: Amazon Prime
Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: Better than one had braced oneself for. Even so, the horror is too silly to be taken seriously, and the good-natured humour for most parts too unengaging to spend 2.5+ hours on.
