Kantara (2022)
This would've been a 9 star movie IF.....
If ... I wasn't born in Tulunadu and didn't have any knowledge or idea about daivas / demigods we worship and the cultural significance it has in my native.
Absolute top notch cinematography with brilliant visuals and frames of the Forest and the grasslands of Tulunadu is something that will be one of the first things you admire of this masterpiece! One of the three things which make this movie a solid 9.
The next being the absolute brilliant performances by every character in this movie no matter how small the role , and a special mention actually bow down to Rishab Shetty , the writer , director and lead of this movie! The performance at the climax being absolutely awe amazing, nothing short of it.
The last reason being story and screenplay. Such a well crafted and well written story about daivas of tulunadu which has never been presented on this scale! A special mention as to how gripping and well made the movie is , even the commercial and lighthearted scenes don't act as a downer that's how well made this is!
DONT WAIT for OTTs to get this ONE! It's an absolute epic which deserves to be enjoyed in theatres for the full experience, Easily a must watch and one of the best movies in recent times!
Chup (2022)
A brutally honest take and a well crafted psychopath thriller
Let me be honest here , when I initially saw the trailers and the preface of the movie I wasn't really having high expectations, despite that i have a personal liking for Dulquer Salmaan and his choice of movies and acting. But boy oh boy I was in for a surprise!
The way the killings are portrayed, the blood and gore and gore depicted is quite shocking and nerve wracking. So viewer advisory is definitely recommended! But also that gore definitely adds to the charm of the killings by the psychopath so definitely not a turn down or unnecessary.
Coming to the performances, screenplay and the music, this is out and out a Dulquer Salmaan movie and his performance is Stellar! Even Sunny Deol has put out a commendable performance! The story is grippy for the most part and the music even though it's just some old classics being hummed and played in thr background is beautifully portrayed and depicted. I also love how realistic and well depicted the climax is! The portrayal of what goes inside the brain of a serial killer is well depicted!
Conclusion: This movie is definitely worth a watch and is QUITE HAUNTING!
Solo (2017)
Well written and beautiful visuals , If you have the Eye.
Watched this one without any prejudice (my friend asked me to do so.) Couple of stories are slow and nothing pathbreaking , but all of them are extremely well shot , if you love cinematography ull love it.
Worth the watch, just don't fall for the hype.
