Dug Dug movie review: An absurdist socio-religious drama in which a bike acquires godly status | Movie-review News

Published by Parlour News

3 min readMumbaiMay 8, 2026 08:15 AM IST Dug Dug movie review: While it is well established that truth is stranger than fiction, once faith enters the narrative and, subsequently, dominates it, things can get curiouser and curiouser. That’s how a trippy satirical tale set in Rajasthan, titled Dug Dug, unfolds. The film releases Friday. The film, which is directed and written by Ritwik Pareek, follows the death of a man named Thakur Sa, who was drunk and driving a two-wheeler with a pink seat, in a road accident at night. The moped, which ends up in police custody and is even locked up in the jail, mysteriously keeps returning to the accident spot. In no time, the bike acquires divine status with power to fulfill the wishes of those who pray to it and offer a bottle of alcohol, one Thakur Sa’s favourite things. The accident site soon becomes a roadside shrine, thronged by devotees from far and wide. The film’s premise might sound bizarre but there’s some truth to it. In Jodhpur is …

5 min readUpdated: May 1, 2026 01:34 PM IST Glory review: Somewhere in Haryana, there are two brothers with a conflicted relationship with their father, circling around sweaty boxing rings, mustachioed khap leaders, ‘honour killings’: familiar elements in an seven-episode show called Glory, whose meaning is explained to us as Love, Sacrifice and Pain, in as many words. That little jerk you get every time a character with a strong Haryanvi accent says ‘glory’ never leaves us: it’s almost like the writers of the show want to convince themselves, as well as us, of the title they chose, because it never once sounds like a word that would come naturally to the key dramatis personae in Shaktigarh, the fictional town where ‘Glory’ is set. And that faint unease never goes away completely, even when we do come upon parts of the show which feel like they could have emerged from the ground, rather than a show constructed in a writer’s room. And one following the dictum which all shows these days faithfully hew to: there …

Ek Din movie review: Just like Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi, film has no zing | Movie-review News

Ek Din movie review: Just like Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi, film has no zing | Movie-review News

Published by Parlour News

Ek Din movie review: If good intentions were to be the bedrock of all good love-stories, Ek Din would have scaled the peak. Movie romances are designed to make us moon and sigh, because they give us a pair of lovers who will wither and die if they do not end up together. Just on that single metric, Ek Din, a remake of Thai film One Day, struggles to score, because neither Dino (Junaid Khan) nor Meera (Sai Pallavi) look as if they will perish if they part: it’s more like they will find a prosaic proverb for it, and go their separate ways. Dinesh Kumar Srivastava aka Dino (Junaid Khan) has a solo superpower. He is the self-confessed ultimate invisible man, beavering away at the IT department at a faceless Noida corporation. It’s the kind of company where the boss (Kunal Kapoor, in an extended cameo) is busy two-timing his wife, while getting it on with a pretty co-worker, carrying on the dalliance when he carts his excited staff to an offsite in picture-perfect …
