Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023)
Cliche
I think Satya Prem ki katha was better than this. There was so much hype about this movie. Alia Bhatt looked amazing as usual, but the story could not do justice. It was very predictable. Just give a background of rich sets and costumes, make larger than life characters and the audience can be duped. Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi's role were ridiculous. They are such good actors. There was a time I used to wait for every Karan Johar movie, but not anymore. Some characters were from Mars. Ranveer Singh looks aged, esp. His lips indicate he's a smoking chimney. Nothing new in this movie. The chemistry was also lacking.
Jawan (2023)
Disappointed
Being a Shahrukh fan, I regret seeing this movie on the big screen. The movie theatre was empty only 3 families. Initial part of the movie was good, but then there were too many directions the story was moving - was it about avenging his father's reputation or farmers or public hospitals or voting - I was lost. The 3 stars are purely for effects not story or direction. The success of the movie hugely lies with Pathan. Pathan was houseful when we went to see. People flocked thinking this would be on the lines like Pathan. Plus, I don't understand why all Bollywood movies are mixing South actors. If the story demands its good, but forcing the equation just to get more box office revenue makes no sense. Yes, people should vote for the right party but just not the Congress as long as the Gandhi family owns it.
Adipurush (2023)
Dimaag kaa shot - SOS
Om Raut needs his head examined by a psychiatrist, he wanted to remake Lord of the Rings, why?????????????? Lord of the Rings is awesome, but Ramayana is so much original than that movie. Om Raut and team, and whoever the writer butchered the story. Such people should be banned from Bollywood. By mistake I went to see it in a theatre, our family was the only one besides 2 more people. This guy had an opportunity and a massive budget that he could have highlighted and taken Ramayana to the masses in the world. But he was on weed and disillusioned, he deformed the real story made everything modern - this is not a house remake dodo. Ravana's palace was beautiful not black, he never rode a bat. All the characters missed to impress, none of the characters showed emotions, Kriti Sanon tried her best on the worst movie of her career. There were no dialogs, the story line did not even have a flow. The costumes were bland, the actors were bland. Do not see this MOVIE even if it's free.
Ginny Weds Sunny (2020)
Different flare on romance
The story presents a different angle on romance. Few reviews written in bad taste are probably looking for a cookie cutter cinema level drama. You need to understand to appreciate such kind of movies. Although the end is predictable, it's a refreshing twist on romance.
Both the actors Yami and Vikrant are great. The supporting cast lacked acting skills except for Ginny's mom - Ayesha and Ginny's ex-boyfriend.
Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017)
Bollywood A list movie - terrific
Not sure why this was not in the 100 crore club. The movie had a great cast, the surprise was Kriti Sanon. She finally shined as an actress.
The local UP dialect was incredible, that is what contributed to the movie's success. Actors that get into the skin of characters, that rarely happens when all of them do a great job. The story line portrayed with regular characters yet making you engrossed, with the captivating chemistry that Ayushmann and Kriti share and amazing dialogues.
Ayushmann is great as someone who cannot express his love candidly. Other actors like Seema Pahwa, Swati Semwal and Rohit Chaudhary also did an amazing job. But the actors who steal the show are Rajkummar Rao, Kriti Sanon and Pankaj Tripathi. Hats off to the director, story writer and the dialogue writer.
Veere Di Wedding (2018)
Only saw first 15 minutes...
What was this? The movie has all the ideals from Hollywood, why bother making a Hindi movie?
Sonam Kapoor does not know how to act, Swara Bhaskar can never act trendy or cool or rebellious - she acts like a behenji even in modern clothes. Both of them are not great actresses. The shocker was Kareena Kapoor - why did you sign this ----------Why?????????? You are a good actress.
I sat through 5 minutes and I was like why am I watching this movie, is this supposed to be for Hollywood or what? Parents making out in front of their kids - had to stop there.
