Review: Ishqiya – Femme Fatale

You don’t have to be a feminist to argue that in Hindi Cinema women often get a raw deal. They are generally reduced to dancing in the Alps in a crepe saree, heckled by goons before the hero takes them to the cleaners, abducted and tied to a chair in the villains lair, or my favorite part rain songs!

The Adventures of Tintin 8/10

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol 6/10
