Kaala Paani (2023)
Watchable but not great
If you have seen the Sony Liv - the Jengaburu Curse then you have noticed how beauty of a place can be shown even during harsh situations. I felt Kaala Pani missed the mark in highlighting Andaman and Nicobar. At times it felt as if location is Goa or any other coastal place. The background score didn't create any impact. Kaala Pani has good direction but other than that it is pretty average in all other departments. For almost all the characters single motive was shown - greed of survival. The characters who didn't have the greed of survival end up dead and some with no explanation. It is still one time watch and if you like masala movies, this is the content for you.
Busanhaeng (2016)
I see it as a love letter to humanity
Never thought a zombie horror-thriller movie can make me feel about "what it really means to be human". Technically it is a well done movie. But definitely need to praise the emotional strength of the story. The situational conflict and human characteristics come up so nicely and works well because the other side is all zombies. Even if you don't like horror genre or zombie movie, give it a try. Within first few minutes the movie sets the plot. If you can get past the first 10 min, then you can watch rest of it in case you don't like to watch a zombie or horror movie. More than a horror, it is a thriller. And of course, there is emotional part to the story for "non-zombies" to enjoy 😀
Nazar Andaaz (2022)
It is good movie coz it makes you feel good
Hats off to acting of Kumud Mishra. Abhishek Banerjee, Divya Dutta and all other actors did great job with their characters. This movie attempts to take you through an emotion called life. In my case it is successful. I smiled, I cried, I laughed and I enjoyed the moments it showed.
It is a ride worth taking. Even though very predictable, still it was addictive enough to watch till the end. The songs are very well placed and nice. "Aadhi kahani", "jadoo" are very melodious and lyrics are good as well.
Give it a try, it is worth your time. Even after the movie ended, I am still flowing in the emotions I felt while watching the movie. And it is a good feeling, an appreciation towards life.
Dickinson (2019)
Unique take on the Poet's life
I loved this interpretation. It keeps the interest going to look forward to the celebrity cast and the modern language/songs blended in a period drama. Acting is superb from all the casts. The writing and direction is most impressive for most of the episodes and specially season-3. It does present a perspective from a readers view on Emily's life on how to interpret her poems. I really loved the way Death is represented and her struggle with fame is shown. It felt as if I am reading her poems again in a book club and listening to other's interpretation of it.
Andaman (2021)
This is how a good movie is made
Hats off to the makers of this movie. All kind of emotions done well, absolute watch.
The actors did a good job. The lead actor is amazing. You hear the dialogues and you will feel this is how dialogues should be written. I am rating this 10 for the quality it offers. There isn't a single scene that feels out of place.
Servant (2019)
And again and again and again
If you like drinking the same wine everyday and like style of Mr Shyamalan, then go for it. Good acting, good tension brewing in every episode. But if you like something new and entertaining as a viewer, you can watch it if you have absolutely nothing in the queue to watch.
Bombay 405 Miles (1980)
Hilarious dialogues, good action...not boring at all!
You won't be using your brains much but you will laugh enough and get entertained by each scene. The acting of all the actors lift up this movie and the random dialogues make you laugh. If you don't find anything to watch while browsing and just looking for random laughs, go for it.
Shuddhi (2017)
Brilliant movie with a long lasting impact
Watching a movie with subtitles is little distracting. I don't understand the language but the screenplay and direction of this movie is so good that once I started, I kept getting more and more interested to know what's next.
To avoid any spoilers, all I can say is do watch it if you are looking for a good thriller. This is one of those movies that will be playing in your mind even after the movie has ended.
