What will this year bring?
2026 so far for Akhil Arora’s movie reviews: Anurag Kashyap, Anil Kapoor, and Konkona Sensharma.
Subedaar
Anil Kapoor’s refreshingly muted lead performance and the film’s disguised social commentary do not make up for its tonal missteps and a frustrating lack of imagination.
Accused
An utterly misguided defence of a serial harasser, groomer, and all-around toxic human being.
Kennedy
A baffling narrative, vague rumination about corruption and power, and long stretches of inaction that don’t feel authentic to Anurag Kashyap.
