Wogma rating: Catch on TV/online for sure
Quick review: The screenplay forms the meat of Sherdil. Around its unusually sturdy but otherwise unremarkable skeleton, the flesh forms a curious animal. One of which, were I a biologist, I would like to dissect and explore every nook and cranny.
Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: Life after the grand wedding deserves a few films. But I wish it wasn’t in the form of Jugjugg Jeeyo’s slapsticky treatment.
Wogma rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Quick review: You get exactly what you expect. Over-dramatised in almost every frame. Provoking cynicism in each one. The mythical tone it is drenched in makes you laugh aloud in a story about valour.
Wogma rating: Watch for sure, preferably in theatre
Quick review: Lightyear is, at the same time, a celebration of the science fiction genre, a reminder of the magic of Toy Story, and a solid science fiction story in its own regard.
Wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for it to come on TV/online
Quick review: This predictable, run-of-the-mill underdog film skips the training montage and uses fun layman language to explain the technicalities of the sport. Indeed, not enough to warrant your time and energy. But not a complete loss if you end up watching it anyway.
(Available on Netflix)
Wogma rating: Catch on TV/online for sure
Quick review: Preachy, but about a situation that many of us might need schooling for. Series of debates and monologues are sewn together to ensure the rest of the country knows that they don’t know the lived reality of fellow citizens from the seven sister states. A stimulating 2.5 hours followed by a killer of a 3-letter word climax that summarises the attitude at the root of the problem.
Wogma rating: The keen must watch on screen; else TV/online
Quick review: A thriller on a slow-burner that mulls over the inequalities in society without getting preachy. Well-shot, well-performed, and even well-written, except for one last bit where it gets manipulative—thankfully doesn’t take away from the experience. (Available on Amazon Prime Video)
