Fighter (2024)
Sid Anand springs in a pleasant surprise
If you have followed Sidharth Anand's previous outings, you would know what to expect from him, but he manages to surprise big time. It's unlike any of the films that he has done before. This one is grounded, well written and has strong emotions, unlike his previous action blockbusters. But when it comes to action, the aerial action in the film is unlike anything that we have seen before in India. It's absolutely mind blowing and the cgi and vfx is too good for that budget and indian standards. Also the trio of Hrithik, Deepika and Anil kapoor fit in so well and have pretty good character arcs with Hrithik coming up with yet another brilliant act.
Watch it immediately. Not everyday bollywood makes aeriel action films with good plot, emotions and smooth cgi. Have to say, Fighter is without any doubt, best film from Sid Anand.
Vikram Vedha (2022)
Mass action genre redefined.
Can the remake/adaptation be better than rhe original? Vikram Vedha makes you ask this question repeatedly. They have successfully recreated the magic of Tamil version albeit on a much much bigger scale and in a more commercial manner. Dialogues are sharp, BGM is outstanding but what makes it all the more special is camaraderie between Ferocious Hrithik and subtle Saif. With some new twists and surprises, this one is a pitch perfect action entertainer for hindi audience. Hrithik deserved a far better song than alcoholia to groove to. Support cast is well picked. Action and cinematography too need special mention.
Dil Bechara (2020)
Most overrated film of the century
If you have watched The fault in our stars, don't even bother watching this pathetic remake. It's sad that the lead actor Sushant is no more, but this film of his doesn't deserve the high rating that it has got (emotional public). Screenplay, songs, characters, nothing feels right..
Had it been a regular release, it would have been termed a disaster by both critics abd public. I would rate it 1 star but as a token of respect for the departed soul, give it a 4/10.
Housefull 4 (2019)
Plain torture
Toued as an epic reincarnation comedy, Housefull 4 was a keenly awaitd release This Diwali. But, boy, oh boy, what a disappointment it has turned out to be. Jokes dont make you laugh, rather they irritate you, the dialogues are cringeworthy and absurd. The three actresses are their just for glamour quotient. Even Akshay, for whom comedy is his biggest strength, fails to impress. A good starcast, truckloads of money and resources have been wasted for this torture called Housefull 4. My advice: Skip it...
War (2019)
A non stop action bonanza...
Watched the film last night in a screening. The film based on its promos and songs was touted to be one of the biggest Bollywood films till date. However, on recent past, most of Bollywood biggies have flattered to deceive, BUT, NOT TODAY. War is a a rare big budget action that gets almost everything right. The best thing about the film is its Casting. Htithik and Tiger as the man facing off against each other are a treat to watch here. Hrithik pulls of a Dhoom with his persona and swagger here while tiger surprises with his sincerity and improveed acting apart from his stunts. Action stunts,which just keep coming, are simply phenomenal and never seen before in Bollywood. Screenplay is pacy and
full of intelligent twists one after another with a jaw dropping climax. Hrithik's charm and svmcreen presence is magnetic with Tiger complementing him well with his career best performance.The locations are eye candy and BGM is absolutely electric.
On the whole, War does what it promised- It entertains well. A big action spectacle that definitely deserves a watch on Big screen.
Devi 2 (2019)
Pathetic film
Considering how the first part fared at the box office and below average critics reviews, there was absolutely no need to make this film. Even if they had to make one and cash in on the franchise, they should have invested in a decent storyline. But after watching this film, you can't help but abuse the makers. There is absolutely no story, no entertainment, no fun at all. The lead pair seemed to have gave in even before the filming begun and seemed to be going through the motions. Tamanaah, a beautiful actress no doubt, but she should at least think for a whole why she is signing a film. There was nothing for her to do here. Same for Prabhu Deva who seemed totally lost and disinterested. A pathetic film by all means. Avoid this headache.
Mission Mangal (2019)
Joke of a film masquerading as a sci fi
Mission Mangal, said to be based on true events, is anything but a science based film. The scientists are shown as losers who dance, sing, cook in the office itself. It is everything but a space based film. There is a deliberate attempt to cash in on the nationalistic feeling, which isn't really needed in a film like this. Expected a sleek, hard hitting portrayal of the successful Mars mission, but it is anything but a sci fi. It is actually a cheesy comedy film masquerading as a space drama. Easily avoidable.
The Lion King (2019)
Atrocious remake of a classic
Saw the film in a screening. I don't know how depressed and angry I am right now while writing this review. The spoiled the childhood memories with a below party remake. Even if they had to remake, they should have made it better and more appealing. Looks like they were in a hurry to make some quick money by capitalizing on the original classic. Definitely not worth the bucks. Avoid it and watch something better playing in the theater.
Super 30 (2019)
A Hrithik Roshan Show all the way.
One of the rare films from Bollywood which doesn't rely on adding extra glamour and masala to attract the unsuspecting masses. The film is powered by a herculean effort by Hrithik Roshan. His topsy turvy journey from rags to riches and the reverse makes you root for him throughout the whole length of the movie. Apart from him, Pankaj Tripathi's hilarious act adds that much needed laughs to the movie. In fact the whole casting for this film including the kids is spot on. Not a single actor is wasted or ignored. The story is very inspirational and emotional which has got enhanced due to some hard hitting punchlines. Kudos to the director and the the man, Hrithik for giving such a beautiful film to the Bollywood.. A must watch film for everyone, especially the youth.
Captain Marvel (2019)
A mediocre superhero film
Was so excited to see this movie and what a disappointment it turned out to be. Nowhere in the movie, you feel excited or connected to the lead character. Action sequences are a big letdown too. As far as story is concerned, there isn't much suspense or drama, nor excitement. First half is a snoozefest while second half is relatively better but that is not enough to salvage this mediocre superhero film. Brie Larson has looked good and so Has Samuel Jackson but there isn't much to do for them..All in all,an epic letdown...
Ratsasan (2018)
Best ever thriller flick made in India.
Its hard to believe and harder to put it into words. This is by far the best mystery thriller made in Indian cinema across languages. Fast, gripping and a totally original story coupled with a scintillating background score. Performance wise, every single character has excelled. kudos to the writer and director for coming out with such a fabulous story. Last but not the least,This film deserves a much wider audience and it surely will get as i expect this film to be remade in all major Indian languages sooner than later. A perfect 10/10 for me..
Se7en (1995)
Overrated, Over-hyped, Disappointing...
Watched this film simply because i like thrillers and this movie is supposed to be one of the best ever, at least that's what ratings on IMDb show. To say that i was disappointed would be an understatement.I found it pretty boring and a below average flick. Not worth the 8.6 ratings, it has got.
Nawabzaade (2018)
Childish!
Seeing the trailer, i was hoping for a decent comedy movie, if not a good one. But this film offers nothing. Cliched story-line ( if that is what it is), unfunny jokes and bad acting. Avoid it...
