Starfish (2023)
Starfish: A Promising Story with Unfulfilled Potential
Background
The story of "Starfish" revolves around Tara Salgaonkar, an extraordinary diver who works for Martin's dredging company. Tara is haunted by incidents from her past, and she is determined to find out the truth about her mother's death. Her quest leads her to Malta, where she becomes involved in a dangerous rescue mission.
Positives
The story is unusual and interesting, with a unique setting and characters.
The film explores themes of self-discovery, mental health, and depression.
The underwater sequences are beautifully shot.
The soundtrack is melodious and meaningful.
Negatives
The plot is confusing and difficult to follow at times.
The characters are underdeveloped and one-dimensional.
The pacing is inconsistent and the film feels disjointed.
The special effects are lackluster and dated.
The ending is unsatisfying and leaves many questions unanswered.
Overall
"Starfish" is an ambitious film that ultimately fails to deliver on its potential. The narrative is confusing and the characters are underdeveloped. The film also suffers from pacing issues and lackluster special effects.
The film's strengths are its unusual setting and its exploration of themes of self-discovery, mental health, and depression. However, these strengths are ultimately outweighed by the film's weaknesses.
Chehre (2021)
Plot holes mania !! Unbelievable number of mistakes!!
The original plot of a dangerous game is *creepy,mysterious and sends chills down your spine*. Even several remakes have made this a great plot to make a movie on.
Coming to the indian version , keeping aside Rhea blank face or her childish giggles or Emraan Hashmi never-ending saga of being the ladies man!!. I have nothing but disbelief that this masterpiece was ruined.
Here are the silly plot holes....
Movie starts with Emraan driving somewhere in India with world class roads, where its snowing like crazy. It looks so unbelievable
The board that shows delhi is funny ...it says around 200 km in both directions...firstly there is no such place near delhi which snows this crazy and secondly, if it was just two hundred kms , it will be a tourist hotspot with loads of.traffic ...
No phone coverage at 200 kms from delhi...you must be joking.
It looks like NO's husband left her 5 Mn (which is just 30 crores) and Emraan demands a measely 3 crore ? (Duh !!). Being CEO of 30 crore company jist doesnt deserve this plot !!
Emraan steals NO old. BMW X5 and forgets to take her GT which is worth way more (possibly thinking I need a family car)
Amitabh bachan entry is funny , he at begining says its a coat with fur and must be expensive...lol that is a funny argument. Then he says its Louis Vuitton. I really doubt anyone living in mountain with no access will know so.much about LV
The guy says we dont play Candy crush....wow thats a lot of info.for.guys who dont own a mobile...
There was a guy before who left his pant....it seems that he left the house and forgot to wear his pants ?
The walls are full of paintings of justice...if rhea is the painter...why doesnt she talk anything about her art.
The oldies say there were members of a nearby legal court house. If they were so.mentally unfit, wouldnt the courts spotted this behaviour. They would have passed past judgements of similar nature
Emraan gives rhea two butterflies which she promises.to keep till her end, then she dumps it.
I see a scene where amitabh asks rhea brother to put a chair, and he by mistake lands up saying sure.
If rhea brother is.guilty and was in jail, why would.they hire him...they never give.proper reply.
Amitabh toward end calls the police and says something....the phoneline which was dead became.active.
