When Legends Share The Frame, Numbers Follow — But Not Without Questions: Inside 45’s First Week Run
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], January 1: There are films that announce themselves with thunder, and then there are films that walk in with legacy stitched into their spine. 45 belongs firmly to the latter category.

When Conviction Collides With Commerce: Inside Ikkis, The Casting Exit, And A Film That Refused To Blink
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 31: There are films that arrive quietly. And then there are films that arrive already apologising for the noise around them. Ikkis belongs to neither category.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 25: Not every Christmas release arrives with tinsel and nostalgia. Some come carrying ambition, industry anxiety, and the quiet pressure of representation.

Champion: When A Sports Film Tries To Win With Heart Before It Wins The Scoreboard
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 25: Some sports films arrive with chest-thumping bravado, slow-motion victories, and background scores that practically instruct you when to feel inspired.

Vande Bharat Via USA: When A Gujarati Film Packs Its Bags, Its Identity, And A Very Oddly Familiar Dream
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 25: Some films announce themselves loudly. Others arrive carrying suitcases full of subtext.
