Shyam Banagal has done a great job in explicit showing the level of corruption existing in the rural government office level. This is what happens in most cases where the government worker takes signature on blank paper and write what ever they want which any how the villager cannot read and write or takes percentages from any money provided by government to rural folks. It's a simple and straight forward movie, songs were irrelevant and not required. Acting by Boman Irani and Manisha Lamba has been very good and shows the real situation and simplicity. The misdeeds happening in the government has been shown as humor when it conveys the message clearly but does not attack any one. Overall an excellent topic and movie.

Excellent direction and acting.
24 August 2021
Stunning perform y Ajay and Pooja, brilliant direction by Mahesh Bhatt. Emotional movie how religion has separated two people who otherwise could have married. Acting by young Kunal Khemu is also worth mentioning. Touches your heart deeply. Definitely among the best movies produced by Bollywood. Definitely in the top 1% of the best movies. One of the songs is exceptionally well composed and music directed. Overall I would say excellent movie worth watching.

Connection between reality and news
29 May 2021
The movie is very well directed and acting has been excellent. The nexus between community and politicians is also shown but in a small way which is basically vote bank politics. The way this community people go to defend their people is also shown very well. They are are brainwashed by politicians and uneducated community leaders for their own benefit. How does the government allow them to have a public address system within their locality? They spread fake news this way in real time. Current affairs in Delhi is shown very well. This is how the CM in Delhi appeases community people to win elections.

Being very idealistic is injurious
28 February 2021
Very well directed, acting by Madhav Apte was brilliant his acting was so good that language never became a barrier even for those who did not know Marathi. System is corrupt and rotten but people holding positions of power have exploited it to their advantage so that they move up the ladder weather official or personal. This is pointed out clearly and it is the idealistic who suffer like Madhav others have been swimming around well. Fifteen years ago itself the director had seen collapse of banks because of the muck inside. Overall excellent movie English subtitles would have helped
Drishyam 2

Outstanding sequel
22 February 2021
Direction is outstanding, Mohanlal is just natural his acting cannot be anything better just beyond expectations, story line is brilliant perfectly handled, perfectly balanced in all aspects. Great movie to watch. There is nothing in the movie which the viewer would feel this should not have been there. South Indian cinema are producing some of the best movies in the country.
Baghban

Life is like that
3 February 2021
This is a very nicely conceived script that is very apt for Indian society it is in the mentality , parents think when they become old it's the responsibility of the children to take care of them but this is slowly dying. Parents become burden to their children once they get married and try to send them to an old age home. In situations where parents have lots of wealth then the children will try to take care of them keeping an eye on the wealth. The day they write the will in favour someone else they start harassing them so that they can get ride of them. This has been portrayed very well in the movie. Some overacting is there but need to put up with that. Acting by the lead actors is excellent.
Nayakan
(1987)
Outstanding movie
2 March 2020
It's been a while since I have watched a movie that has be been directed so well acted so well and music scores outstanding. The direction has been done so that every minute detail has been kept track of. Kamal Hassan acting and prorating Velu Nayakan is just outstanding. Undoubtedly it is among the the top 0.25% of the movies produced in India. Drawing parallels with others I liar movies does not add any value for example godfather, that movie is very different and a class of its own. Supporting actors also did an excellent job like his daughter. Unfortunately it is movies like this that make innocent young boys who lack ability to reason take up crime under the dream of becoming a don some day. They fail to delink movie and real life.

It's not about one individual struggling to succeed it about every one who wants to succeed
17 February 2020
The movie is very well directed and shows the ups and downs a person trying to create space for himself goes through. The acting has been superb. Only one point I feel is movie could have been bit shorter since couple of the places were like repeated not adding any additional information.
Joseph
(II) (2018)
Brilliance at its best
12 February 2020
The character of Joseph was acted very well by Jijo. Every minute of the movie is worth it and very to build the story line. Direction has been excellent. The movie theme is very relevant today and the obnoxious business behind organ donation and transplant and the nexus between criminals with various domain experts. The movie sends out a clear message to viewers but some open loose threads are still not tied. Over all excellent movies. Language is not the real barrier
Hindi Medium
(2017)
Excellent movie with a good story line and apt for today's parents
26 October 2019
Acting by both the lead actors has been amazing and they have successfully conveyed the message load and clear. Unfortunately today's parents will not accept the reality. Education has become a business run by shady businessmen to convert their black to white. If all the leading schools were so good why is it that India has fared poorly in innovation index, start up success...
