CTRL review: scattershot
Ananya Panday is the lone spark in Vikramaditya Motwane’s Netflix screenlife movie, which aims to do too much.

Sector 36 review: botched just like the real-life investigation
The Netflix movie is as poorly handled as the police’s work on the 2006 Nithari serial murders that it’s based on.

Agatha All Along review: novelty max, success not quite
The new Marvel miniseries follow-up to WandaVision is unlike the studio’s standard fare but it lacks the spirited edge of its anthological predecessor.

The Penguin review: an absolute blast
Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti are a hoot in The Batman spin-off series on HBO that knows how to craft mood and scenes. It’s more often than stellar.

FC 25 Rush is fun, but it has a glaring flaw
EA Sports’ modified take on 5v5 Volta is a great pick-up-and-play entry point but it’s lacking exactly what you would want for a fun night with your friends.

EA Sports FC 24 review: new name, same FIFA
Aside from a couple of welcome moves, EA’s new football game is largely as it was. Colour me surprised.
