Wogma rating: Catch on TV/online for sure
Quick review: Were it not based on real-life, Super 30’s story would have been scoffed upon and the movie soon forgotten. Even with the “based on a true story” stamp and despite some decent insights, performances, and dialogue, it borderlines on simplistic and forgettable.
Wogma rating: Watch for sure, preferably in theatre
Quick review: Of course, it supports an ideology, has an agenda and is prejudiced. The real question is, would we be surprised if we read a page-7 headline of such an incident? Would we be shocked if we knew for sure it really happened? No, right? Exactly why such films need to be made.
Wogma rating: Switch channels if it's on cable
Quick review: A spoilt brat throws a 3-hour long tantrum. Kabir Singh made me angry, furious–the film and the character. Didn’t like it, and didn’t like him. And not because the film isn’t done well. In fact, maybe because it’s done very well–the performances, the character-writing, the music are all good, yet the film is infuriating.
Wogma rating: Catch on TV/online for sure
Quick review: I am happy that it is over. Because it is a reasonably well-made horror-thriller. Thank goodness for the jarring, loud background music, else my nerves wouldn’t have allowed me to write.
Wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for it to come on TV/online
Quick review: A few sparks strewn across a mostly painful long film.
Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: Things move slowly for a thriller and not in a way that gets you concerned for your team. Doesn’t help that the slow story is dragged further with slow-motion!
Wogma rating: Catch on TV/online for sure
Quick review: Pleasantly surprises you with a show of insight, though ultimately ends too conveniently. And one male character calling another one a misogynist is not enough to absolve the writers from other misogynist writing. In the same film! (Not the writer’s other films)

This piece is fanboy material by design - it is for the most part about the influence of his - the Joharian school of cinema - on me, as someone who grew up in the late nineties as also on our popular mainstream culture - something that our man isn't credited for often and not nearly enough with.
No fanfare, no bells and whistles. Just plain happy to be 10.
