Have you guys ever heard of sleep paralysis? Have you ever
experienced it? I have once, and it was the most terrifying experience of my
life. My logical brain tells me that it was sleep paralysis, but my Desi heart
knows it was more than that, here is my account of it and I will let you guys
decide was it just sleep paralysis or was it something more. For those who
don’t know what Sleep Paralysis is, it is a state when, during awakening or
falling asleep, a person is aware but unable to move or speak. During an
episode, one may hear, feel, or see things that are not there. Modern day
people usually assign most of their paranormal experiences to this phenomenon
as it provides a sort of logical and scientific explanation to otherwise
unexplainable things.

Race 3 - The Salman Khan Spectacular
By Hamza Shafique (Instagram / Facebook)
Race 3 works, and I don’t know how. Screenplay doesn’t make sense, acting apart from Anil Kapoor is mediocre, Songs are forgetful, action for most part feels repetitive and still Race 3 works. I wasn’t bored in fact I enjoyed my time and I have no clue what worked for me. I believe it’s just Salman Khan.

7 Din Mohabbat In - Movie Review (2.5/5 Stars)
By Hamza Shafique (Instagram / Facebook)
To be honest after looking at the name (inspired by 7 din ladki in dialogue of Shahrukh from "Kal Ho Na Ho") and trailer of the film (where plot looked a lot like Brandon Fraser and Elizabeth Herley starrer 'BeDazzled') I didnt have high expectations from this Eid release. This movie seriously lacked originality and on this point only this "Eid entertainer" really met my expectations.

Kaala - Movie Review (3/5 Stars)
By: Suhinth Mohan
Most celebrated superstar of Indian cinema Rajnikanth has returned to the screens with his latest film Kaala. Kaala is a second consecutive collaboration of Rajnikanth with the director Pa. Ranjith after Kabali in 2016. Movie was suppose to release later this year as Rajnikanth’s sci-fi action film 2.0 was scheduled in April. As the post production got delayed for 2.0 it made way for Kaala to be released early. This movie also stars Nana Patekar, Easwari Rao, Huma Qureshi, Samuthirakani. Music was given by Santhosh Narayanan who was also part of Kabali. The announcement of the movie created buzz as the previous collaboration Kabali didn’t meet fans expectations. The movie is also produced by Wunderbar films which is own by Dhanush. CBFC of India has certified this flick as U/A (unrestricted public exhibition subject to parental guidance for children below the age of twelve). Rajnikanth’s movie got this certificate after 27 years. Previously Thalapathy directed by Mani Ratnam obtained a U/A certificate in 1991.

TAG - Movie Review (4/5 Stars)
Jeff Tomsic's TAG is pure fun. Before I get into the review I just want to say that whoever missed Jeremy Renner in Avengers Infinity War will love his role here, as his action sequences (yes there is some pretty good action here) will remind you of his Marvel Avatar and that too in a good way. Warner Bros might not be getting the DC cinematic universe right but their comedies are spot on, after Game Night this is another fun film on similar notes.

Ocean’s 8 Review: These Pros May Have a Con (3.5/5 Stars)
By:Victor Philip Ortiz
17 years after the first Ocean’s Eleven which itself was a
remake of the original 1960 film, we’re treated to a whole new version of the
popular heist series that now features woman because it’s 2018. But don’t let that fact prevent you from seeing Ocean’s 8,
because it’s still a stylish, funny film as the previous entries in the series were, even
if the plot didn’t wow as much.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (3.5/5 Stars)
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom has it all from roaring giant dinosaurs to volcano eruptions, from claustrophobic horror to Chris Pratt’s usual charisma. J.A. Bayona understood what audience required from the franchise and delivered it perfectly. It is the 5th installment in the Franchise but probably the second best since the original Steven Spielberg 1993 classic.

Veere Di Wedding - Movie Review (3/5 Stars)
By Hamza Shafique (Instagram / Facebook)
Shashanka Ghosh's Veere Di Wedding may feel pointless but is never boring. Narrative is well put and produced on screen but lacks the required graph. Just Imagine in Dil Chahta Hai there was no major conflict and focus was all on Amir Khan along with some mediocre music. It will still be a watchable experience but not a classic one as Dil Chahta Hai is.
