Pournami (2006)
That type of film where you're afraid about Trisha's character's story
Apart from 'Gandi Baat' and 'Nuvvu Ready Nenu Ready' songs, this is the first film I watch where Charmi starred in. (will watch more of course). Her eyes complimented her character as a green, cute, but also fierce younger sister.
The contrast characters between Siva (the hero) and Zamindar (the villain) were nicely shown in different background instruments too, while they had fights.
The climax: when Chandrakala performed the dance. The transition to show both Pournami (Trisha) & Chandrakala (Charmi) is REALLY GOOD! The feels just well translated to the screen.
Pournami-Siva's scenes are BEAUTIFUL! The details for showing anklets, moon, and Trisha-Prabhas' expressions are BEAUTIFUL.
Sp0iler: Trisha is in the 2nd half of the film!
Paiyaa (2010)
Tamannaah-Karthi cuties!
Entertaining!
Kudos to great chemistry between Charu (Tamannaah)-Shiva (Karthi), also Shiva and Shiva's friends. Very well album (Adada Mazhada is definitely timeless), and all cast really lift the story.
Even though most of the set is on the car and road, it doesn't make me bored. I really like the way they showed the gang who ran after Charu, but didn't show Charu's dad or the 'mom master' behind the phone. It made the characters portrayal more focus (well, at least from my POV). And the way Charu-Shiva tricked both gangs; classic way but still make sense and the slow-mo shot added the vibe & nuance!!
I'm a new audience (I watched it on today's age), so the ending is predictable. But if I watched it at that time of the release, it definitely gave that 'surprise' element after Shiva drove Charu to her grandma's house.
Beta (1992)
The casts, the songs!
Saas-bahu story makers, please take a note from this for not dragging the drama!
Didn't expect the 'Dhak Dhak' song appear on the first 35:11 minutes. Entertaining!
The story focused on saas-bahu drama, both Madhuri Ma'am-Aruna ji did really well. The sequence when Saru's (MD Ma'am) people & fam sus her for having affair & a night with Raju (Anil Sir) - when she fought back for herself & asked Raju for a marriage in front of everyone - uff FIRE!! Don't worry, Anil Kapoor still shining, you would love Raju & felt wanna fight for him yet couldn't blame him for what happened.
Kinda hope they had different ending for Raju's mom tho, but well... okay then. Let's just have big heart like how Raju & Saru do.
Miss. Shetty Mr. Polishetty (2023)
Lighthearted and heartwarming
Fresh premise and characters' details. Thanks to the writer and director to make the characters have their own flaws but still end up as sweet-"dreamy" story as a film.
The comic fiming on the script is well-executed by Naveen. He played Siddhu so real and effortless. Anushka is graceful as usual; she made the denial phase and stubborn Anvitha so human, acceptable, and emphatetic. And the acceptance phase of Anvitha is strong and sweet but still typical practical of her. Acting, songs, and settings are all fine, but please the extreme edit for Anushka's appearance was quite weird.
If 'he was sunshine, I was midnight rain' was film characters, then it's Siddhu and Anvitha!!
Kinda wanted to give it 9.5stars tho.
Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023)
The Bollywood romcom we all need to be back
The clichés, ensemble cast, album, massive dancers, grande settings, colors, and all the filmy things UFF!
Fun yet still powerful dialogues, telling important messages without sounding "preachy".
What makes me happier is the cameos; Sriti Jha (one of the reasons why I went for the first day first show then), Bharti Singh, Arjun Bijlani, Harsh Limbachiya, Arjit Taneja, and Shraddha Arya.
Minus one; Dharmendraji and Shabanaji's characters had romantic scene in front of Dhanlaxmi (Jaya ji's character) was uncomfortable to watch (for me), remembered that Kanwal and Dhanlaxmi are legally married and Jamini was "only" Kanwal's long lost lover. The moment was helped and distracted by Abhi Na Jao Chodkar song.
Baarish (2019)
Ekta better make a proper ending, next time, I don't know when
Season 1 -
Simple and sweet love story!!
Vada pav + chai + Mumbai baarish + old songs like pleaseeee, we all will sold for that. Promising and intriguing ending.
Asha Negi as Gauravi, ufff she's love.
Season 2 -
The drama starts:
The relationship of people around Anuj Gauravi affects their marriage. Spilling some bitter truth about relationship in general and relationship with economic struggle.
Yup, the ending is hanging because maybe Ekta wants to back and continue this project, or maybe not. The good thing she does is the cast; all cast is really good and fit for their respective roles/characters, no doubt about that.
Karrle Tu Bhi Mohabbat (2017)
Season 4 WHEN?
Enjoyed each and every episodes and seasons.
Hate-love, nokjhoks, married, had a kid, separation track, dusra aadmi helped the female lead, sus dusra aadmi, ...
It's quite typical Ekta Kapoor's story idea, but if there's Ram and Sakshi then it is all FINE.
Ram ji and Sakshi ji make the story flows really well!! It's on OTT media, so it's definitely there - easy to be accessed - a family friendly series too.
The soundtrack/title song deserves a separate fan base for real.
One of my favorite moment/episode (around S03 E13??) - Karan Tipsy's confrontation scene:
"aisa kyon hota hai har dusra aadmi tumne mere se achhi tarah jan leta hai?"
"because maybe har dusra aadmi mere baat sunta hai, mujhe samajhne koshish karta hai."
Arundhati (2009)
*standing ovation* Timeless
I see it as a grand and heroic horror film!
It could be a strongly unforgettable horror film for many, but I watch it recently (yes I'm so late for this I apologize).
The story, casts, and crews deserve all possible recognition. The second time I watch it, I just realized that it's not only about 'good defeats bad', but also about how Jejamma sacrificed herself. What a sweet entry scene of hers and what a strong ending she did. Anushka makes her top performance earlier back then.
Along with fine script, make-up, and props, its' good editing make the filmis satisfying to be watched.
Pasupathi was the creepiest. Allow me to be "too much", but his characterization is still relatable in today's condition - human's obsession is creepier and more dangerous than ghosts. Sonu Sood is a gem and a potential on-screen villain that people love anytime.
Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar (2023)
How to tell audience it's Luv Ranjan's film without telling it's Luv Ranjan's film hehe
"shayar koi sayana kehke gaya huzoor
sheesha ho ya yeh dil ho
tootega toh zaroor"
IT'S ENTERTAINING! I don't remember when do the last time I watch romcom. Everything and every characters are on their portions; the flirting, the long dialogues/rantings, the emotional parts, the clichés and all.
Shraddha plays Tinni SO FINE as usual. Seeing Ranbir in romcom again feels so fresh and fun, feels like seeing his on-screen persona for the first time again.
It will be an unending discussion if we "think" about how Luv Ranjan indirectly portrayed Tinni (Shraddha's character) as 'wrong', only because she can't live with joint family etc. In other side, film is produced for an entertainment and TJMM is an easy win for that.
Atrangi Re (2021)
Surprisingly goood
I was little bit sceptical because of my disappointment with Anand L. Rai's 'Zero', but Atrangi Re turns out good and better than my expectation.
Surprisingly it's a mental health issue and love story. I'm glad it's well-put and well-shown as one; heartwarming and heartwrenching at the same time.
The songs OMG! Watching the film helps me to feel and fall more for Rait Zara Si.
Sara Ali Khan is so convincing as Rinku. I hope she's getting better in every next performances.
The aftertaste watching this got me numb for some time. But, just give it a try to watch, guys! Waiting for more non-linear storytelling and different story from Anand L. Rai.
Naagin: Episode #2.53 (2017)
A complete package of entertainment
Played by the same core actors and characters, the second season has more 'playful' dialogues, additional new characters, and various story tracks. Even though some episodes before the finale, the story and the CGI were kinda a mess but it was still bearable to watch.
Mouni Roy played double roles and still all I see was Shivanya and Shivangi, I saw no Mouni there. She easily owns Shivanya, Naagin series is hers tho. Adaa Khan & Sudha Chandran ji are effortlessly so goood as grey to antagonist characters and their comic timing is on point!
Kudos to the wardrobe, MUA, and hairstylist team for giving different clothes, costumes, and accessories, and all of them fit the characters and tracks there.
My personal favorite is episode 53 - Mahashaktishali Naagin sequence.
A complete package of entertainment. Brace yourself for the twist!
Naagin: Episode #1.17 (2015)
BEST SEASON
Among the Colors' Naagin seasons, the first season is definitely the best! Maybe it's not the first naagin on ITV, but the set up of everything is fresher and brings back the audience's engagement for myth fantasy drama.
The story has it all: myth-historical, romance, and family drama. There are no wasted characters and the CGI is fine too.
My personal favorite from this season is episode 17 - Mahakali and naags naagins sequence; Shivanya and Shesha's sister bonding was explicitly shown and heartwarming, Lavina Tandon played not so small role, and her performance in that particular sequence is superb!
Vish Ya Amrit - Sitara (2018)
Adaa had double roles, choose your fighter
I love how they balanced revenge saga & romantic moments. I'm grateful to know it completed 100+ episodes and not dragging it worse. Hariyali track was slow and hard to watch.
Sitara's wardrobe, hair, make-up is too good!
Visual wise, I could give it 9 or 10stars tho.
Piya Basanti Re (2014)
Easy-watching
The early idea is good. Another good part is the way they shot the hero & the heroine walked to each others' opposites many times. It made some meanings and assumption. Eventhough, it's quite predictable but still fine. The hero-heroine have good and sweet chemistry.
Overall, it's easy-watching. I watched it for Adaa Khan.
