Jerry Seinfeld 23 Hours to Kill review: The legendary comedian can still make us laugh at our own lives and enjoy it

In his home country as well as to those outside it who've been privy to his earlier standup specials like 'I'm Telling You for the Last Time' or 'Stand-Up Confidential' or his crowning moment, the semi-fictionalized sitcom, Seinfeld (even funnier than Friends; there, I said it); Jerry Seinfeld is comic royalty. And his latest stage act, the Netflix special, Jerry Seinfeld: 23 Hours to Kill, proves that the royal has lost none of his regal comic talent

They're forced to go through a stringent registration process, never allowed to embrace their powers, and remain both financially and psychologically suppressed due to the system, ensuring that better opportunities never come their way.

She web series review: If you thought Imtiaz Ali's Love Aaj Kal reboot was bad, then wait till you watch this

She is a classic case of too many cooks spoiling the broth as it fumbles between deciding to be an erotic thriller, crime drama, modern noir, feminist piece, pensive portrait of sexual repression or underlying statement on abuse, ultimately doing a disservice to all these themes, ending up as a meandering mess that drags its way with increasing predictability, boredom and shallowness

Guilty movie review: Kiara Advani delivers her career best in a balanced look at both sides of the #MeToo coin

Guilty lays bare the varied faces of the #MeToo movement after a small-town girl accuses the most popular boy in the college of raping her one year after the incident, which opens a can of worms that not only highlight which side of the debate people (even modernized, free-thinking ones) fall on and why, but also exposes the innate bias society possesses against victims and the upper hand the privileged section wields when they're called out

Baaghi 3 movie review: Tiger Shroff is criminally wasted in a poorly scripted and directed film

Leaving aside the brainless plot and ridiculous settings, the worst crime Baaghi 3 commits is to severely under-utilise the ferocity and power of its leading man. None of Tiger Shroff's action scenes pack any thrill, and worse still (barring one in a car dump), they come across as stale and wooden.
