Ankit Ojha Cinema Elite Apr 12, 2026 5/5 Karan Kandhari’s sophomore feature is an incorrigibly funny, and audaciously told genre bender that boasts—for lack of a better term—a certain singular je ne sais quoi. Go to Full Review Sister Midnight (2024) 98% - -

Ankit Ojha Cinema Elite Feb 7, 2026 5/5 Each victim of "peg-leg" is treated with profound empathy and understanding, and the director refrains from passing moral judgement on any of them.

Ankit Ojha Cinema Elite Dec 12, 2025 4/5 Leonberg is arguably among this year’s freshest voices—not just in horror, but in cinema as a whole—and his debut makes for a consistently interesting and engaging work of art. Go to Full Review Good Boy (2025) 90% - -

Ankit Ojha The National (UAE) Aug 1, 2025 1/5 [Director] Shazia Iqbal and co-writer Rahul Badwelkar sanitise the grim reality of institutional horrors in favour of a schmaltzy melodrama like an early-2010s Bollywood romcom. Go to Full Review Dhadak 2 (2025) 63% - -
