Hi Nanna (2023)

Beautiful movie

[9/10 · 6 January 2024]

Beautiful father-daughter love story. Also very beautifully shown love story between main leads. I am a Hindi movie viewer and I loved all of Nani's movies ( dubbed in Hindi). I wish I could tell Nani directly how a wonderful actor he is and all his movies are worth the time. Mrinal Thakur is a brilliant actress. I saw it on my home theater on Netflix and worth watching with family. Good story that has quite a bit twist and surprises that will delight the audience. Songs could have been better except the last two song in the movie. The child actress will steal your heart and make you feel emotional.

Rudra: The Edge of Darkness (2022)

Ajay Devgan! The best

[8/10 · 5 March 2022]

30 years and still ruling the mainstream. I loved him In his first movie and equally in this new series. Each episode is engaging. Ajay Devgan the leading crime investigator fits perfectly. You should watch it. The only misfit is Esha Deol. Rest of the cast is good. I wish we get 2nd season soon.

Pushpa: The Rise - Part 1 (2021)

Honest review. Loved it

[10/10 · 15 January 2022]

My honest review. My family loved it. We watched in my home theater that added exciting sound experience. Bollywood need to learn, movies like #Pushpa and #JaiBhim does work and should come out of remakes,biopics, nationalist agenda.

I am now a fan of Allu Arjun and the leading actress. The movie has all the flavors of entertainment. Crisp direction, songs, background score, Dolby sound will make the movie good experience.

Ka Pae Ranasingam (2020)

Painful

[8/10 · 12 January 2022]

Very tragic. The plight of a woman dealing with the bureaucracy. I felt so real especially the climax. I couldn't take the emotions shown in the movie. Touched my soul. You will cry. Very painful. All my praise to the leading actress. She deserve award.

Atrangi Re (2021)

New plot. Intriguing love story

[8/10 · 1 January 2022]

Interesting plot. Dhanush is outstanding, so is Sara Ali Khan. Surprisingly Akshay kumar came out of comfort zone (nationalism) and did good. My only suggestion is to watch the movie without knowing the story/plot. You will love it. Worth your time. AR Rahman did it again after Mimi. Music added flavor to the movie.

Sooryavanshi (2021)

Bad movie. Poor plot. Not a rohit Shetty movie.

[1/10 · 4 December 2021]

This is surely not a Rohit Shetty movie. It seems he got carried away by the stupid narrative. Same old Akshay kumar. He is our modern day Canadian Indianised version of Manoj Kumar. Poor plot. Katrina Kaif still cannot act. Movie like Jai Bhim is like 10/10 and this one is not even 1/10. I stopped watching half way. Difficult to tolerate.

Shershaah (2021)

Perfect movie. The team deserve applause.

[8/10 · 19 August 2021]

Every segment of the movie is done perfectly. Acting, direction, script, plot. VFX is a top notch. Every frame of the movie look realistic. It's engaging. Perfect treat in this Independence Day. Siddharth did a commendable job. Though I felt it inspired from Lakshya but worth watching. And worth your time. Good work team Shershaah. You deserve applause.

Bhuj: The Pride of India (2021)

Poor movie.

[1/10 · 19 August 2021]

It's completely waste of time. I started to watch for Ajay Devgan but it is difficult to sit and watch. Audience get lost in mixed up events. No scene make sense. Unnecessary chanting of the slogans.

Instead, Shershaah is a treat to watch this Independence Day.

Toofaan (2021)

Nice movie. Good story.

[7/10 · 18 July 2021]

Nice movie. Story is good. Mrunal Thaakur was the best in the movie. Paresh Rawal & Farhan Akhtar did justice to the character. You will get engaged as the story progresses. Watch it yourself to enjoy it.

Haseen Dillruba (2021)

Haseen good movie

[8/10 · 5 July 2021]

Tapsee and Vikrant stands out. Good story. Worth your time. I liked the character of Vikrant's mother.

Not a single scene that will bore you. Songs are situational.

Tapsee deserve to get recognized for her talent. Vikrant is a good talent too.

Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi (2019)

Moved me. Beautiful movie.

[9/10 · 24 April 2021]

Literally I cried. It moved me so much that I could feel part of the Ram Prasad family. Very authentic story. All due respect to the writer and the director. Beautiful movie. We should never forget what our parents did for us. Also learnt to say 'Thank you' and 'Sorry'.

Tandav (2021– )

Nice one

[8/10 · 27 January 2021]

You will like the series. Good direction and interesting plot. Sunil Grover did a fab job. I liked Dimple Kapadia too. And of course Saif Ali khan was good. It's a Rajneeti in web series format. Plz don't go by the fake reviews posted as I am sure they haven't even seen a single episode. Will wait for 2nd season how the story unfolds further.

Coolie No. 1 (2020)

Waste of time

[2/10 · 2 January 2021]

Complete failure. It's no where close to the original. Varun and Sarah were like fools in the movie. Sarah need to learn acting first. I don't understand casting decades old characters that fail to suit the plot especially Rajpal Yadav. The director needs to move on from remakes and come up with original. You can watch the movie in 45 min by fast forwarding else it's just waste of time from the 1st scene itself.

Panga (2020)

Waste of time

[2/10 · 7 November 2020]

It never felt like a sports movie with no thrills and excitement. Just another Kangana movie. Waste of my time.

Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story (2020)

Blown away

[9/10 · 19 October 2020]

Harshad Mehta got my sympathies. It seems he was a victim of politics. Very nice series. Hooked me in for all 10 episodes. Quite educational too from financial perspective, credit goes to the writer and director. All supporting characters played their role perfectly. What's stands out in the series is the main lead actor. True potential to be a star. Very well acted. Awesome.

Rangbaaz (2018–2022)

Crisp, interesting and worth your time

[9/10 · 13 September 2020]

Crisp, interesting and worth of your time. Saquib was outstanding. After watching this series I started to inquire about him to know more about him. He is under utilized actor in Bollywood. He truly has potential to do more in Bollywood. Talking about this series, it's plot, direction, lead actors, supporting cast and editing were all good. Tigmanshu as usual stands out. Ravi Kisan limited presence but still did fair job. Ranvir Shorey was good too as a cop. It's nice to see such actors in a meaningful series. Personally I highly recommend to watch.

Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl (2020)

Good movie

[8/10 · 15 August 2020]

Very nice movie. Loved the father daughter relationship. There are several good things about the movie 1. Very positive take on the Nationalism. No need to bash another country 2. No over the top dialogues 3. Pankaj Tripathi was the best 4. Jahnvi was good too (plz don't judge movies from the lens of nepotism) 5. Has a very good message. Motivates kids to never give up and stay determined. 6. Be honest with the work you will serve the nation - what a beautiful message 7. I loved the idea when a middle class family person can't chose a particular career due to financial constraints, still never give up, there is always a way, we just need to look for it from different perspective. 8. Lastly, women have always faced challenges and biases. Very nice way to overcome the hurdles and never give up.

Lootcase (2020)

Wow. Worth your time.

[8/10 · 3 August 2020]

Very nice movie. Highly recommended. Every scene is enjoyable. After a long time good Bollywood comedy movie. Kunal Khemu did a good job as a common man and a leading character. All the characters were perfect.

Undekhi (2020– )

Good thriller but abrupt ending

[8/10 · 18 July 2020]

I liked the main protagonist 'Rinku'. Harsh Chhaya transformed into the character. Overall nice watch but abrupt ending. The actress played Saloni character didn't know how to act. Her screen presence was annoying. One piece of advice to the production house. Plz do audition before selecting your actors.

Breathe: Into the Shadows (I) (2020– )

Awesome thriller.Abhishek rocks

[9/10 · 13 July 2020]

I promise you will enjoy every episode of this series. Abhishek Bachan is a treat to watch.Nithya menen was perfect. She is too good. Loved her acting. For me who stand apart is the AB. I wanted to see more of this series. Perfect acting. Amit Sadh is good too. He should be seen more in movies and series. Can't wait for second season.

Your Honor (I) (2020– )

Too good!

[8/10 · 5 July 2020]

Gripping story. Well directed series. Jimmy Shergill was very good. Loved the plot. It's interesting till the very end of the series. Mita Vasisht was too good. It's nice to see such actors with lot of acting potential. Hope to see them again in the second season.

Love Aaj Kal (2020)

Nonsense

[2/10 · 3 June 2020]

Don't waste your time. Kartik & Sarah totally bad acting. Story is stupid. Only Leena's character was ok. It was very difficult to spend an hour on this movie. Thanks to OTT platform which I could fast forward.

Criminal Justice (2019– )

Worth your time.

[8/10 · 27 May 2020]

I enjoyed a lot. My favorite as usual Pankaj Tripathi. The plot is good. All the lead actors were good. It keeps you engaged all through the series. The only part I didn't like was over stretched jail plot. Though I liked Jackie Shroff part.

Paatal Lok (2020– )

Interesting

[9/10 · 18 May 2020]

Interesting plot. Perfect acting by the lead actors. Overall worth the time. I loved it. I saw Jaideep Ahlawat in Raees for the first time and since then I admired his work. Brilliant performance.

Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan (2020)

Nonsense movie

[3/10 · 19 April 2020]

Theme and story is totally nonsense. For the first time ever found Ayushman loud and out of sync. His acting was weird. Badhaayi ho and Bala were perfect in all aspect. But this one was crap. Request to Ayushman not to spoil his movie career Graph in the name of experimentation. I gave 3 stars only for Neena Gupta. Else this movie is 0 star movie.
