Wogma rating: Don't bother
Quick review: Two elements exist. The time-loop concept and the "moral of the story." Whichever came to the makers first, the other feels terribly forced. In either case, what's the case for the loud story-telling, the stretched-out pacing, the thoughtlessness of it all?

Wogma rating: Add to that never-watched 'To Watch' list
Quick review: Repeat performance of Raid. Raid 2 = 2x the drama and associated pain. 2x the slack writing. About 1x the fun of watching corrupt politicians get their due—fair and square, without involving police brutality. (Streaming Partner: Netflix)
Wogma rating: Watch but no rush
Quick review: What an inspiring story. What an uninspiring, episodic, loud, and dramatic treatment. And yet, better watch this one because it's unlikely to be made again. And there's never harm in knowing the oppression we are capable of as humans and the fight we can give if we set our minds to it.
Wogma rating: Watch but no rush
Quick review: It's gut-wrenching. It's hair-raising. Goosebumps rose. But that's the story. The movie unabashedly dramatises it, shining the spotlight on the star instead of the character, luring more with form than content.
Wogma rating: Don't bother
Quick review: What is worse? A film that wants you to leave your brain at home while watching it? Or one that is under the impression that it follows logic and has a heart, but is in reality a mess of a film? Sikandar might pass muster for both failing to engage or entertain.
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: Don't bother
Quick review: A collection of one bad scene jerkily stitched to another, adding up to a mess of a film. An intriguing plot—kiss-as-a-service—but you can't help being wary because of the potential to be sleazy. Indeed, it is borderline creepy and goes full throttle into boring you.
