Wogma rating: Don't bother
Quick review: Love is fickle—that's my takeaway from this boring romance. The only highlights are some song and dance sequences.
Streaming Partner: Netflix
Wogma rating: Add to 'must watch' list
Quick review: Homebound touches you because it's intentionally unsettling. A no-frills look at society, with simple-AND-powerful storytelling and grounded, heartfelt performances.
Streaming Partner: Netflix
Wogma rating: Watch but no rush
Quick review: A topic that should be part of every living room conversation plays out as a predictable yet meaningful courtroom drama. The strongest film in the series so far, but still weighed down by unnecessary, slapstick flab.

Wogma rating: Don't bother
Quick review: It's so bloated that every thump in the music, each fight sequence, nearly every song, every attempt at comic relief seems like a huge, stinky burp.
Wogma rating: Don't bother
Quick review: Using 2020s' slang can't hide the jadedness of the girl-meets-boy plot. Dropping Shah Rukh Khan and Sri Devi references only highlight the story's age-old, simplistic "What if?" Even these icons, four decades ago, knew they had to reimagine the genre.
Streaming Partner: Amazon Prime
Wogma rating: Don't bother
Quick review: Reasonably decent conceptualisation of fight sequences with tacky execution. The rest—patriotism, plot, etc—is anyway only padding around the cool-on-paper action.
Wogma rating: Add to that never-watched 'To Watch' list
Quick review: What a quick dive this one took from being chique and warm to annoying and infuriating! Just like the relationships it uses to give you the "boys will be boys" vibe.
