Blade: Trinity (2004)

Blade is Back for the last time with a New-Gang...

[7/10 · 24 May 2024]

So in 2004 the 3rd installment of Blade came and it became the final chapter of this amazing franchise long back. Now here is the origin of Vampires, it introduced well still failed to represent the back story properly. But it's absolutely fine according to the time of the movie. Now in this 'Blade Trinity' 2 more known characters also introduced. At that time they were emerging actors but nowadays they are fully established, so overall a good experience to watch their initial works.

The Acting performances of all 3 leading characters were fantastic. Now the addition of Background Music during Fight sequences were pretty good especially when the female leading character goes for her fight scenes, treat to watch for sure.. Ryan Reynold's performance was also damn good during fight scenes especially his entry was damn fantastic.

Overall a good fast paced movie suitable for all age audiences. I will go with 7 out of 10 Stars for it as well. Finally that's the Re-Visit of Blade Trilogy Completed by me..

Blade II (2002)

Such a Perfect-Sequel...

[7/10 · 23 May 2024]

So As I mentioned, I was Re-Living those retro movies of my childhood, I went for Blade movie's 2nd part which was damn perfect at it's time (2002). The leading character is back again with lots of Energy and to Fight with some New type of Villains, who are creepy to watch. 1st Part's Female leading character is totally missing here but there is a surprise present in this movie related to a main character of last installment. Some new funky characters were also added in this part and overall a good timepass movie for sure.

The Best part of this movie is It's ACTIONS... WOW Those High quality of graphics along-with Best Hand to Hand Combats and of course those Hi-Tech Technologies used at that time ; definitely treat to watch for sure. The Acting performances of all the characters were brilliant. The BGMs used during those fight sequences were damn good to Enjoy.. Screenplay is pretty tight and gripping for whole 2Hrs.

So Good Time-pass Action movie to go with Family. But Beware, there is a completely postmortem scene present which was creepy to watch.. So Yeah 7 out of 10 Stars from my side..

Blade (1998)

It still feel FRESH to WATCH

[7/10 · 21 May 2024]

To Re-Live my childhood memories I went for this movie without having any expectations in today's generation, because it was released in long back of 1998. But this movie is still fresh man! It's Actions, BGMs, Style, Technology everything is still fresh surprisingly 2 and half decades later as well. I liked the way of Hand to Hand combat between characters and of course those High Tech guns of that time. Although it doesn't paid attention to the origin of the Vampire Society and their work cultures among human beings yet they focused on their hunting skills. I think in the later part of this series they will pay attention to their origin and work culture.

Overall a good movie for Action Lovers! And apart from bloody violence safe to go with family. 7 Out of 10 Stars from my side..

The Adventures of Lleo (2023– )

What if 'Dan Bilzerian' get rigged ?

[7/10 · 21 May 2024]

WoW Just WoW... Whatta light hearted comedy adventurous show it is! The leading character LLEO (Anandeshwar Dwivedi) nailed his role brilliantly. He was totally cool as a cucumber in this entire show and his satirical punchlines in certain situations were hilarious to watch & listen. TVF is really master in terms of making contents memorable ; now LLEO's character is one of them.

The Acting performance of the leading character was brilliant whereas writing for that character could have been better in episode 4 with those homeless family. That was the episode which let me feel uncomfortable about LLEO whereas he learnt his lesson in the final episode and gave redemption to everyone whom he troubled in this entire show, so it's kind of WIN_WIN situation for everyone. All other characters also played their parts decently. The Music was good and the Screenplay was pretty tight and gripping, You will not feel bored for a single minutes in this entire show. My favorite episode was Hospital one! All other episodes were also pretty fine.

Overall it's a show for all peoples but some slangs were there, so it's on you whether you should go with family or not! From my side it's 7 Out of 10 for it..

Merry Christmas (2024)

Andhadhun >>> Merry Christmas > Jaane-Jaan

[6/10 · 21 May 2024]

Ohh Dear! Do you have patience? I'm asking it just because it will definitely test your patience for whole 1Hr for it's initial build up. After getting slow-burn start it will peak it's pace and then it will drown in the very last minutes. So basically not a movie for mass audiences but for those people who loves to watch 'Shreeram Raghavan's Work' should go for it and please don't compare it with 'Andhadhun' which was definitely a masterpiece in this genre.

So basically this movie's plot is extremely similar as Netflix's previous work 'JaaneJaan' but I will put it little bit higher rank than that. The storyline is based on an old Novel and the writing is definitely good. The Screenplay depends on what type of audience you are! From my observation it was flat, but the time (70s-80s of Bombay) was nicely captured in the screen and loved to watch that era. And of course the way they portrayed 'Christian Culture' during Christmas celebration was definitely heartwarming. The best part of this movie is :- All the Actors' Acting Performances... Whether it's Vijay Sethupathi, Katrina Kaif, Sanjay Kapoor or all other small characters, they all played their part brilliantly. I personally liked the way Katrina nailed her role here ; her best work in recent times for sure. The Vijay Sethupathi's character was decent and he played his role nicely as well. The underwhelming aspect of this entire movie is it's 'Background Scores' ; WOW the smart work done by Sound designing team was truly brilliant especially in the climax scene of last 2Min, not a single word has been spoken by any character but the Director was able to clear the doubts of audiences and gave it a kind of open ending to discuss about various theories regarding this. So that was brilliant.

Let's come to the Climax part.. If I consider it with JaaneJaan's climax than both of these movies are quite similar for sure. The way movie ended in both is quite subjective, whether you are gonna accept the sacrifice or call it as a dumb work; it's totally on you. Here in 'Merry Christmas' they ended it with a better prospective than JaaneJaan at least.

Overall a Kind of movie you can go with family and I will consider it as One time watch so 6 out of 10 Stars from my side for it...

Bramayugam (2024)

That's the proper way to represent a Super-Natural-Survival Movie...

[7/10 · 13 May 2024]

This movie is artistically awesome but not for mass audiences. The people who loves to watch unique concepts based on folk tales, slow-burn screenplay with proper detailing, metaphors to catch from references , they're surely gonna Love this movie.

The storyline is unique and non-linear. It will test your patience as well as understanding to catch the actual plot. Starcast is exceptional by the casting director because with only 3 characters on the screen they stretched it for 2hr20min ; so yeah! Casting Director's job was exceptional. The actors did their performances brilliantly especially Mammootty Sir along-with the leading character 'Thevan' as well as the Cook, everyone played their parts brilliantly.

The Screenplay will test your patience as well as Anxiety levels. Although Horror elements were missing in 95% of this movie yet it will build tension all around it's story. The Director missed the trick by putting some Horror elements in it. I mean they could definitely add Horror tales and jump-scares into it. Apart from that everything was great for a Cinephile like me. I personally liked it's Background scores very much ; they were extremely well captured according to the situations ; Kudos to Sound Designing team.

Overall a Good movie. Although it had some Bloody Violence in it , still they are in Black and White so manageable to watch by teenage people. So it's a movie for every age categories people but only for those who loves slowburn movies.. That's it 7 Out of 10 Stars from my side..

Laapataa Ladies (2023)

Simply Brilliant Family-Movie.....

[7/10 · 13 May 2024]

After getting lots of hypes over social media platforms, I went for this movie last night. This movie was quite simple, straight forward, emotional ride with a special social message. The Director Kiran Rao was simply brilliant with her job here and we can simply noticed her brilliance in this entire movie.

The plot was realistic and heart touching, screenwriting was superbly done. The rookie actors did their job brilliantly. Their make up and appearances were top notch according to the plot. But the show-stealer performance was given by one and only 'Ravi Kishan'. He was cunning, funny, greedy and responsible at different period in time. He was selected over Amir Khan for this role, so you can imagine how impactful role he had portrayed. The Music and songs were soulful. Screenplay was brilliant according to it's time.

Some Patriarchal satire dialogues by that tea seller old lady was top notch according to our old age backward society but she exaggerated those dialogues very much so felt like it was her personal life's redemptions. Those dialogues could have been little bit trimmed down, but as the Director was Kiran Rao (An Independent Modern Woman) it was her personal choice to crook down male dominance in certain cases ; which is fine in my opinion but definitely a talking point regarding this movie.

Overall a good light emotional movie to Enjoy with whole family and I will go with 7 out of 10 Stars for it..

Shaitaan (2024)

Ohh Dear! They just ruined the Originality for the sake of 'Happy-Ending'...

[6/10 · 9 May 2024]

At first let me clear that I haven't watched 'VASH' till date, because it's totally invisible from whole OTT platforms. But after completion of 'Shaitaan' I went for Vash movie's in-depth Analysis and I went surprised to know that they just changed the whole climax from Original movie. Vash movie's climax was Dark, Disturbing, Melancholic and Close to Reality whereas Shaitaan movie's climax was almost perfect for a Happy-Ending. I just assume, they just did it for the sake of Bollywood Audiences to attract them to the theatre with Feel-Good kind of Ending. But in my personal opinion I liked the way they had written the climax of the VASH. I'd Love to see the original one as soon as it'll available in OTT.

The best part of this movie is :- It's Actors. All the Actors nailed their roles brilliantly ; especially R. Madhavan with such type of Negative shades was treat to watch. Ajay Devgan was same old Family guy who loves to save his family from various crisis. Janki Bodiwala was the show-stealer in this entire movie and perfectly justified her role in this Bollywood remake. BGM was perfect and definitely spine-chilling. Screenplay was damn good with proper editing especially those Rainy Jungle atmosphere scenes were just mind blowing.

It's good but Horror elements were totally missing in this entire movie whereas Quite Thrilling I'll say, but at some points in time I just felt let's Fast Forward it to the important scenes rather than same old intruder's torture based hypnotizing scenes, which was quite repetitive. This Bollywood makers made it for Family Audiences so amounts of violence was extremely less and disturbing scenes were not that much high levels of impact.

So you can go for it with Family and I will go with 6 Out of 10 Stars for it..

Madgaon Express (2024)

JUST WOW to Next-Gen Fresh Comedy!!!

[9/10 · 8 May 2024]

SO this is a Directional debut for our own beloved 'Kunal Khemu' and I'm glad that I have experienced it in Theatres with my peers. I was so much late for this movie & I wasn't aware about it's content because I personally believed to go for brilliant movies without having paying attention to their trailers or any kinds of outward opinions. That's why I Enjoyed this movie straight from my heart.

The storyline was pretty basic and most of us have dreamed about it (for a Goa Trip). But the way they complied themselves in situational comedies were brilliant to watch. All the 3 leading characters did their jobs brilliantly. I personally Loved Divyendu's character along-with Pratik Gandhi's aggressive Avatar after getting drugged and those hilarious ROARs WoW! Ha Ha Ha (Jokes Apart ; He was Brilliant with his role). Avinash Tiwary was also good with his character and used brilliantly to make chemistry with glamour girl Nora Fatehi.

Now!

Some honorable mentions.... The 'Kanchan Komdi' and 'Mendoza' ..... WoW both these characters nailed their roles perfectly man! The SWAGS of Kanchan Komdi was hilarious to watch and the Gun Fight sequence with Police was quite Enjoyable to be very honest. The cameo of Remo D'souza was Nice and Kunal Khemu with his 2min of screen presence steals the show!

The Music was Nicely matched with the situation and the Screenplay is of course Fast paced and no chance of any boredom .. The editors did their jobs quite fantastic to made it a good runtime based movie. Although I will reduce 1 Star just because they didn't used Goa's full potential to showcase it in the entire movie. They could have added more 5Mins to showcase the real party culture with scenic beauty of GOA.

Overall a Complete Family movie to enjoy with whole family. Definitely recommending to go for it. And I will add it as my stress booster in near future along with Go GOA Gone, Delhi Belly, Phir Hera Pheri etc. Of same genre.. So 9 Out of 10 Stars from my side for it...

Rangasthalam 1985 (2018)

Superbly Crafted ; Worthy of National Awards!

[8/10 · 31 March 2024]

After so many recommendations over Internet (long back) I've downloaded this movie and waited almost 1yr to see it, because I noticed the duration of this movie was about 3HRS and it was also set in 80s era, So kind of avoided/delayed to watch it. But yesterday when I got a holiday ; decided to go for it & after watching it I can simply say South Indian industries are far more ahead than Bollywood movie industry.

A mind blowing Screenplay with Powerful Action Sequences led by beautiful BGMs WOW! What's not present in this entire movie? Simply Superb to go for it. The Acting performances of Ram Charan was Superb and the way he portray his role as Younger brother, Lover, Helping hands to Villagers were emotionally treat to watch. His Action sequences especially with those goons over Grass field was beyond imagination. Ram Charan's Elder brother also displayed his character nicely. And the Villain (President's) character was superbly done by the Actor and all these credits goes to the Director for making an old known stories into a memorable one. I mean we have already watched this kind of concepts yet it will amaze us with superb direction. The Music were pretty nice in it and I just thought they could have little bit trimmed those songs because Movie was already 3hrs long. But I can assure you that it will be engaging for everyone definitely. My favorite scene was a Funeral scenes which is quite large in details and the director showcased whole process of a funeral which will melt our heart for sure.

Overall a Good movie led by a Brilliant Climax, which will be definitely out of the box for sure! And you can go for it with family. From my side it's 8 Out of 10 Stars for it..

Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana (2021)

This is what Real-Cinema is all about...

[8/10 · 21 March 2024]

This movie is absolute raw, classic and provides ultimate cinematic experience. Raj B Shetty is such a gem of Kannada industry. In the first shot of this movie we just can't imagine he is the director as well as main protagonist of the whole film but the way he nailed his performance throughout the movie is just just Mind blowing. Earlier I watched his movie TOBY ; he surprised me with his outstanding Mute role there but here he gave his performance which is definitely above than expectations for me.

Same goes for Rishab Shetty. Although his role is pretty basic yet nailed his performance same as KANTARA. Apart from these 2 best performer of this movie, the Policeman also nailed his role through emotional journey as well as proactive approach. So without having any female lead they all just did their part superbly.

Here comes the Best part of this movie which is it's 'Background Scores and the absolute Cinematography'. Ohh man the atmosphere there in the whole movie was just mind blowing and the way director fixed those BGMs were surely gonna give you Goosebumps. For an Example- there were 2 songs 'Chandrachooda & Mahadeva' the way they fitted those chilling songs in the background of a Fight Scene that too in a Slow-Mo was treat to watch for sure. As a Cinephile those 2 moments were BEST in this entire movie and it's like a never forgettable moments for me. It's the director who gave us perfect example that how to build a perfect cinema with simple storyline which we've seen before into a masterpiece that too with extremely tight budget. That's what awesomeness is all about in Kannada industry.

Overall a Beautiful Cinematic Experiences for Raw Crime Thriller Lovers. And it have lots of raw violence so better to watch it under surveillance of elders. And I'm going with 8 Out of 10 Stars for it because I liked the movie and they could have hold the grip in the middle part of the movie where it got little bit stretched which was Ok in my opinion.. So that's it!

Gone Girl (2014)

It's SCARY & Masterpiece in Negativity!

[7/10 · 19 March 2024]

Just witnessed this brilliant movie of the legendary Director David Fincher and felt like It's Scary to get Married in this modern world. It literally scare your bones out if you use your psychological brain and analyze the dark plot in details. It's based on a novel I guess and the way Director represented the whole scenario was just Mind Blowing for sure.

The best part of this movie is it's 'Star Cast'. They just signed all famous Stars of Hollywood and gave them some critical roles to play their parts. Ben will impress with his role along with NPH but the show stealer is Rosamund Pike. Her character is so much layered and the way she defined her character in various scenarios was worth commendable. I was very much impressed with her role ; of course in a dark shade. This movie glorifies Negativity and all leading characters were Dark in their own ways. So I will consider this movie to a Masterpiece in Negative Affection.

The Cinematography was beautiful. The Screenplay was above average yet nicely paced. The BGMs were nicely used and justifies each and every scenes. So from technical POV it's nice but could have been 10-15Min short. Storyline is the main charm of this movie. I haven't read the Novel so can't able to compare it directly with the movie but I can assure you the Movie is brilliantly designed. This story will not gonna chill to every individuals but those who loves to watch psychological contents will definitely gonna feel it's thrill.

Overall a brilliant thriller which is not suitable for all kind of audiences but those who are above 18 can go for a try. From my side it's 7 Out of 10 Stars for it.

Haseen Dillruba (2021)

It's all about Vikrant Massey's Impressive Acting Range!

[6/10 · 18 March 2024]

This movie is not made for hardcore thriller lovers because they will predict it's twists clearly by using their simple brain. So for me also it wasn't a perfect crime-mystery-thriller but yeah, of course a unique love-hate story kind of movie.

The Cinematography of this film was brilliant and the shots taken in Uttarakhand was superb for sure. The Screenplay was good and the run time was also tightly gripping. The Background music was beautifully added according to the situations whereas the best part of this movie is 'Lead Characters Performances'. We all have seen Tapsee Pannu in these roles before and Harshvardhan Rane was also decent here but the way Vikrant Massey represented his layered acting is worth commendable. It was all about Vikrant's Acting Ranges which saved this movie otherwise it was totally directionless with lots of illogical here and there. Vikrant summed up everything with his large kind of acting ranges..

The weakest point of the movie is it's CLIMAX. Ahhnnn Man what was that! You just crashed a brilliant narrative with some unrealistic actions. How's that possible ; which is completely illogical.. I can't express it in details because I wanna save the final suspense for the audiences who hadn't went for this movie but Yeah! The weakest point of the movie is CLIMAX because it's damn predictable in the midway.

Overall I will consider it as an One Time Watch content and strictly for those people who are 16+ for sure. And Yeah! It's definitely not for Family Audiences. So 6 out of 10 Stars from my side because I will consider it as an Average Watch..

Meenakshi Sundareshwar (2021)

Sanya- The Performer

[5/10 · 17 March 2024]

It's a cute movie based on Modern Life Long Distance Relationship's Pros and Cons. In my personal opinion Long distance relationships are pretty hard to maintain in this modern era but if you are committed and dedicated to your relationships and wanna solve the matter by discussing it then it's a beautiful thing to blossom your personal relationship. I just loved the way they portarayed the characters completely opposite to their interests yet committed to each other after tying a knot. The patriarchial society was shown but not that much exaggregate.

The Cinematography was beautiful and the screenplay was quite gripping. Blend of Comedies and Emotions were perfectly mixed with stunning RHTDM (Minnale) Music added to it. ICYDN Minnale (RHTDM) is my Favorite movie since I was in 4th standard. The Acting performances of both the leading characters were great and here I wanna specially mention about Sanya Malhotra's performance ; The way she acted in this character was truly brilliant. She portrayed all the emotions of human beings through her superb acting. If you are a Cinephile you can feel her depth of acting performance in the climax scene in theatre. Of course the climax was little bit rushed yet she showcased her natural acting beautifully there.

From the negative POV, I just felt there was a lack of Emotions between their relationships which felt unnatural at some point in time. Although Screenplay was fast yet after 30-35min it felt little bit dragged and felt boring for sure ; so lot of people will easily get distracted from the movie. The Male protagonist's character was completely flat so felt sometimes irritating with his decisions.

Overall a One time watch or time pass kind of ROM-COM movie and some little bit kissing scenes were there in this entire movie. So Yeah 5 Out of 10 Stars from my side.

Brightburn (2019)

That's Evil Superman in the House guys!

[6/10 · 7 March 2024]

Actually I love to watch Superhero Satire movies, where Superheroes becomes Super-Villains with same kind of powers and utilizes their evil instincts for numerous destructions. Some honorable mentions are 'The Boys' & 'Suicide Squad'. So I went for this Brightburn movie to enjoy it completely with it's unique concept and tight runtime. And that's it , it felt like a Fast Forwarded movie with fastest screenplay edits and some unsatisfying cuts. I mean why this movie have only 90min runtime? They could have easily gone for more 15-20Min for sure ; this is the very first time I'm complaining regarding a less runtime movie because it just wasted a unique potential.

The best thing about this movie is it's Main Character's Acting performances followed by excellent background scores along with some Creative jump scares which added some Horror elements into it. Sometimes it gives us hints regarding 'Stranger Things' and story also gets inspired from it. The Killing sequences are extremely brutal and very much graphical. That's why definitely not suitable for any kids to go for it.

Overall I will consider it as One time watch and I'll personally go with 6 Out of 10 Stars for it.

Anjaam Pathiraa (2020)

Good But We have Seen it Before!

[6/10 · 1 March 2024]

By a lot of recommendations over various Social Media platforms I went for this movie with lots of expectations But this movie turned out to be just an above average thing for me and so it's totally below from the level of masterpiece of course. I mean according to Indian Crime Mystery Thriller contexts it's good but as I've seen a lot of movies from Hollywood with this same genre I felt it little average for me.

Story and Screenplay wise Movie is quite good and gripping from starting minutes. The way leading characters acted were worth appealing. The Background Music is the real Hero in this entire movie. The way director represented those BGMs are truly appreciating. The Actions were also very good of course. And movie is not predictable that much which is good.

Overall a Complete Family movie, but some Postmortem scenes have blurry n*dity but not visible that much for sure. So definitely good to go with family audiences. And personally I will go with 6 Out of 10 Stars for it. Those who loves to watch this genre movies can easily go for it.

Fukrey 3 (2023)

Why so much Negative Ratings over Internet ? It's a decent One time watch for sure!

[6/10 · 28 February 2024]

Fukrey 1 was the best among whole franchise with it's refreshing storyline, amazing music, wonderful situational comedies and of course with less known new faces back in 2013. Fukrey Returns (the part 2) came up with all of expectation and continued it's previous storyline exactly same But here with Fukrey 3 makers came up with their lazy instincts according to today's time and peoples expectations from a big comedy franchise. Movie is pretty average and storyline feels little bit dull of course. The same old Music used here which was not that much impactful yet feels nostalgia. Introduction of new songs were average of course.

The Acting performances of all the characters were Good especially our own CHOOCHA, he nailed his role once again and the strong point of the whole franchise. His way of talking, comic timing, facial expressions and silly situational comedies are best among all. The 2nd best performer was Pandit ji, which is Pankaj Tripathi of course. He got a good amount of screen time in this and performed so well. Bholi Punjaban,Lali they also did their parts decently BUT here comes the main drawback in Acting Performances i.e. "Pulkit Samrat"- He got very less importance in this whole storyline. His character is not same like other parts, here his character is just like a supporting character of CHOOCHA to decode his Zigsaw Puzzles. The Villain also disappointed a bit here in this part. He acted like Gruesome individual with nothing to do in the plot. Although the Social Message provided by the makers was good, still this movie lacked in various department.

The Screenplay is fast and I don't have any complaint regarding it's length because I personally loved to see these characters in big screen. The background scores are funky and enjoyable according to it's situations. The locations were good of course but they wasted a huge opportunity to showcase South Africa in details. I mean that South African tour was just wasted here with here and there actions with no proper executions. The Climax was also below average but the way they introduced something in Post credit scene was, definitely a Cheers! For FUKREY FANS just like me.

Overall a complete Family Movie which can be watchable at least for once. But mind you ; don't expect to be a better one then it's previous installments. So yeah I will go with 6 out of 10 Stars from my side as I liked this movie.

Robber (I) (2013)

Such a Complex and Philosophical Portrayal ; which can't be understand by ALL

[6/10 · 25 February 2024]

As this movie is based on a short story 'The Last Leaf' by O' Henry and it was of 2013 times where Jio wasn't grown at all, My review will be according to it's era.. It's screenplay is pretty slow paced and movie is definitely not for mass audiences. It's quite philosophical and pretty deep which can't be understand by all. You must have to indulge yourself in a painting and have to feel the essence of it's paints to feel the beauty of it.

The STORY is very basic and extremely short but the way Director presented it was really nice. I must say they could have fasten the SCREENPLAY a bit because it really stuck in the middle part then peaked it's emotional pace in last 15-20Min. The ENDING of the storyline is also justified and somehow satisfied me, but it's totally emotional ride for me and there is some tears in my eyes while I'm writing this review. The MUSIC is really best in this movie according to it's time and the time it was based on. And of course the ACTING performances of both Ranvir Singh & Sonakshi Sinha was top notch. Ranvir was really a skillful actor and large range of skills from his starting of the career for sure. Finally the Real Star of this entire movie, which is it's Background-Scores, man just Silently listen to it, it will take you to a different level of emotional ride.

Overall not a movie for most of the Indian audiences, I don't think Mass Indian people have that much power to hold their patience ; so try it at your own risk. For me it's an emotional journey for sure and I'm going with 6 out of 10 Stars for it. Yeah it have a brief kissing and make out scene but I don't think that's any kind of problem for family audiences coz there wasn't that much openness ; so... that's it...

Dunki (2023)

Get Ready for an Absolute Emotional JoyRide ...

[7/10 · 24 February 2024]

It's an absolute family entertainer with a powerful Social Message sent by Rajkumar Hirani with his amazing direction. I enjoyed each and every moment of this movie. The way this movie started and the way it ended was worth commendable. SRK is once again back with his own funky style method acting, same old charisma, same old dance moves and most importantly with powerful Emotional romances. He is really the X-factor of this entire movie. Here comes the 2nd best acting performance of this movie which is Vicky Kaushal. Man! He nailed his small role brilliantly and will definitely grab your emotional attention with his impactful performance. Other characters also played their parts nicely for sure.

This movie's runtime is around 2hr 40min which may feel some individuals little bit awkward but mind you the storyline will keep you hooked so you can't move away in any scene. So Screenplay is above average I'll say. The Music is the best in this entire movie and it also runs with the story and emotionally relatable. Writing is superbly done for a movie like this especially as it is on a sensitive immigrant topic, they have written it like close to reality. The way director showcased the struggles while doing Dunki Trips were quite brilliantly performed and lights up the exact reality in front of us. And after they successfully passed the Dunki Route, then the real struggle begins in abroad which nailed here beautifully. The most probable best scene was the courtroom drama of course, especially you have to see the real depth of Acting performance of SRK in it.

Just a little bit negative point is it's editing part, I mean they could done better in editing. And the romance parts between SRK and Tapsee seems pretty old and unrealistic at least for me. The romance was pretty average and the conversation between them could have been little bit trimmed.

Overall a Complete Family Entertainer and completely Safe to watch with entire family. It's message is Good and we should definitely learn from it. The light comedy works very well and overall a good movie from my POV. SO I'm going with 7 Out of 10 Stars for it.. Definitely recommending to watch it at least for once.

Toby (2023)

This is what 'Genius Filmmaking' is all about !

[7/10 · 22 February 2024]

Firstly let me clear everyone that, 'TOBY' is not a movie for Normal Audiences who likes fast paced action masala kind of films. It's totally made for those people who love to watch Slow burn Conceptual movie with some native mythological aspects added to it (like Kantara).

The writing of Raj B. Shetty was quite brilliant and his Acting performance is just Mind Blowing for sure. The way he portray the emotions of Toby according to his origin was quite brilliant for sure. The daughter of Toby (Jenny) as well as his Friend (Damodar I guess) also acted decently for sure. The Cinematography is the main essence of this movie, the way they showcased coastal atmosphere with stunning visuals were quite appealing. The background score was top notch according to the situations and music was also nice for sure.

The debatable part of this movie's technicality is It's pace. Yeah! The screenplay is really slow paced and will test patience of average cinema lovers. The first half of the movie is slow paced with nice introduction of the background of the main character but after the brilliant introduction was properly done ; it became totally flat with it's storyline, which is little bit of concern in this entire movie. As you are getting ready for a brutal response from the leading character but he is doing it with ease that too in slow paced motion Actions. But in the climax part, it was just visually excellent storytelling for sure with a English song in the background in the name of Lord Jesus. But yeah you can predict it's climax 10min before that's why it's lack to surprise you at the End. The way they finished it's storyline is justified I'll say and it's assure you there will be no Toby part 2 in the future which is Okey for me.

Overall a Good movie which contain lots of brutality in it that's why definitely not made for Family audiences. Although it doesn't have any direct vulgarity but some references were there. In my opinion it at least deserve one time watch & I will go with 7 out of 10 Stars for it as I personally liked the way director represented the emotional story and the way Raj B. Shetty nailed his performance.

Irudhi Pakkam (2021)

A Low budget Fresh Content ...

[7/10 · 20 February 2024]

The concept of this movie is quite different than any other Murder-Mystery-Investigation Movie. It has something unique to offer which will reveal at the very end and I can definitely bet that You can't predict it's climax because it's nearly impossible to catch the main culprit of this entire movie till the very end. It's the ideology which is the main culprit actually not the person.

Anyway it's a low budget gem for sure not designed for every layman movie watcher. It's absolutely designed for cinephile people who just love to watch unique concepts and content is their first priority rather than Actors or Actress who adds spices to it. From the acting POV every individual plays their parts really well. The background score was decent and the screenplay was pretty tight and gripping for sure. It's just a 90min show, so that's a good thing about mystery thriller kind of genre and this movie justified it nicely.

Overall a good content for sure and especially designed for some specific categories of audiences. The concept of the movie is little bit bold so I don't think it's properly suitable for a family audiences. But if you love to watch unique concepts then definitely try it for once & finally its 7 out of 10 Stars from my side.

Nowhere (II) (2023)

It's actually a Good-Survival-Thriller for sure..

[6/10 · 20 February 2024]

If you are looking for a decent Survival-Thriller movie then here it is. It's actually a Spanish movie but it's Hindi dubbing is superbly done for sure. And just to warn you ; if you are a Pro Survival movie watcher then it may feel like average one time watch, just like me.

Anyway the best part of this movie is it's storyline and of course the Acting performance of the female leading character. She just did an outstanding job with her expressions, never give up attitude, survival instincts and of course the various Jugaads (techniques) to stay alive. The background scores were decent . The screenplay feel little bit dragged, I mean they could opt for more tight gripping (fast paced) screenplay, because Some pro audiences will feel a little bit boredom and will fast forward it to see just the climax.

As I noticed some Survival techniques are not applicable in real life scenario ; so they had put it little bit unrealistic for sure, which is easily noticeable.

Anyway! I will go with 6 out of 10 Stars for it because I liked it's concept and of course the Acting of the leading female character. But it contains some direct nudity so definitely not recommended for Family audiences. In my personal opinion ; it's at least deserve an one time watch..

Minnal Murali (2021)

Desi SuperHero at it's Best !

[9/10 · 18 February 2024]

Just witnessed a brilliant Malayalam movie which is based on 90s era's Indian Super Hero vs Super Villain concept. I am pretty much impressed to see the outcomes of only 18Cr investments for this movie. According to it's budget it's a very good result and because of Covid-19 pandemic some part of the screenplay got affected which is understandable but examining every aspects and difficulties they have faced ; it's a brilliant movie to witness at least for the one time. The Hindi dubbed version is also available and of high quality.

The storyline is quite interesting and unique for sure. The character developments were too good both for the Hero as well as for the Villain's. It explains why a character became Hero and why other character became Villain despite having same story of their own with same striking energies. The story writing is superb for sure.

The only weak point about this movie is - it's run time. I mean in editing part it could have been more 12-15min short. The first half's screenplay is also little bit slow but it catches the speed in the 2nd half and according to it's budget I'll say the climax is just good but could have been little better. In Story POV climax is good but the VFX of final fight is little bit average.

The background scores were well maintained and cinematography was nice and colorful for sure.

Overall a complete Family entertainment, even a small kid can go for it. From my side its 9 Out of 10 Stars for it, as I loved the concept and execution according to it's budget.

Roohi (2021)

It is how Sasta Rooh-Afzah was invented !

[4/10 · 17 February 2024]

Yes I am so late to watch this movie because I got some mixed reviews from various reviewers as well as audiences regarding this. But after rewatching Stree & Bhediya I thought let's give it a try. And in one word I can explain it ; that is Rooh-Afzah (a low budget Stree). Ha Ha Just Kiddin'.

This movie had a lot of potential to achieve the level of Stree and Bhediya But It lacked so much in every technicality.

The best part of this movie is Acting Performances of both Rajkumar Rao & Varun Sharma. Their comic timing was too good and the way they pronounce English words were funny. Their English photographer also did his little role decently. At certain points Jahnvi Kapoor impressed with her acting but it became repetitive and the calmness in her face in horror scenes became boring a bit. And of course the romantic songs ruined a horror scene and it feels like forced comedy rather than horror in nature. There were 2/3 jump scares in the first half of film which was good in my opinion.

The Music was average, Environment was Okeyish and background score was sometimes over amplitude based ; that's why some conversations of Rajkumar Rao was hard to understand in the first go. The screenplay was good and gripping but could have been more tight in the second half especially.

Overall it's kind of One time watch without having any expectations like Stree or Bhediya. I will call it an average movie and it's good to go with whole family as it doesn't have any kind of offensive scenes. From my side it's 4 Out of 10 Stars for it.

Por Thozhil (2023)

A Straight Forward Serial Killer Movie.

[6/10 · 16 February 2024]

I am a great fan of Murder Mystery Thriller kind of movies that's why I chose to watch this movie in my free time and I can assure you to go for it without any doubt. But you must remember that it's not an out of the box kind of movie whereas it's just a typical serial killer investigation movie in my opinion. People were comparing Ratchashan with this one, but I'll say No man Ratchasan was way ahead from it. I will say Por Thozhil is inspired from that.

Let's discuss about the storyline. It's quite straight forward and perfect crime thriller kind of story with above average screenplay. The satisfaction you wanna get from the movie climax is lacking here. I can't discuss about the plot holes because that will be spoilers for new watchers. But there were certain points in which you can predict it completely. According to me the Acting part is the best part of this whole movie. Both the leading male characters investigated in their own way and tried to solve the case efficiently. The antagonists were also did their job brilliantly ; but the writing of those characters background could have been better. But it's Okey man! It will not give you goosebumps but you'll enjoy it for sure. The background scores were also quite nice and the debutant director did his job brilliantly for sure.

Overall a good package and doesn't contain any s*xual violence but it have extremely graphical murder scenes so definitely not for child below 12 years but I'll say with family you can go for this movie. It's 6 Out of 10 Stars from my side just because it had the potential to become a cult classic but anyway! It's just my personal opinion you are welcome to differ from mine. But i can assure you it's at least deserves a view from you audiences.
