While We Watched (2022)
This film is more important than the Oscars.
First of all, political parties do all kind of politics to win elections and it is somewhat acceptable. This is not just in India but everywhere in a democratic country this happen regularly but problem is the role of media in the society. We all have witnessed the kind of hate in the society that was targeted on everyone's mind from all major news outlet. It already brought India few decades behind the rest of the world in terms of common mentality of the society. Also, we should be thankful that there was no large scale riot. Whole India went to the edge of the cliff but somehow managed to not fall down because of journalists like Ravish Kumar, Purna Prasun Abjpai, Abhishar Sharma, etc.
And NDTV which stood against everyone else and continued their reporting clean and unbiased. They tried their best to keep society together.
Prannoy Roy who stood behind the scenes also deserves all the respect.
Adipurush (2023)
Where is it stated that these gods belonged to the Janeudhari Brahmin caste?
This is obviously caste-based indoctrination. None of the gods being Brahmans is mentioned in any of the books. Yet these films create a narrative to whitewash Indian history with some brahminical narrative, despite the fact that not a single scripture created before 1200 AD has ever shown a god wearing thread (janeu).
The writing is also based on a Ramayana that was penned 400 years ago during the bhakti movement. These filmmakers from the brahmin caste need to have done more research and presented the real Ramayana, which is a component of Indian culture. If they are unable to find it in India, similar tales are followed in other south Asian nations.
But I don't believe these filmmakers, who wear thread (janeudhari caste), have anything to do with reality.
Manyeo: Part 2. The Other One (2022)
Korean films are going down fast
Don't expect part 1 to be unfold in this film. This is like watching a new movie and so many irrelevant and annoying new characters. Surely there will be part 3 but this is nowhere near good. It's slow and boring story and look very cheap with small budget.
Shamshera (2022)
A great movie indeed
It's a fantastic movie specially the star cast they performed beyond expectation. Ranbir Kapoor has demonstrated it's ability once again and this time he performed out of his image and this movie is more than sufficient to proof he is the best actor of his generation.
Jigeum uri hakgyoneun (2022)
A very pleasant ride
Despite being helm by a primarily a young cast of high school students, everyone delivered their roles really well, and you could really feel their emotions as they make their ways through the endless waves of zombie attacks, dealing with the sadness of losing their friends/loved ones and struggling to stay hopeful in the wake of such dire circumstances.
Overall, it was a genuinely enjoyable zombie thriller where you will feel the excitement, laugh and cry together with the students as they fight for survival!
Jiok (2021)
Another absolute fantastic Korean series
This series makes a hell of a lot of sense if you clearly open your eyes to the world we live in today. Religion and Government play a big part of lives as well as social media.
Script was absolute genius to include so much of religious and political drama going on nowadays.
To me, this is a masterpiece series and best in 2021.
83 (2021)
Best ever movie made on Cricket till date
Ranveer has done an astounding job to play Kapil Dev in this film . An understated fine performance . Kabir Khan has put together a very entertaining film which tells a story that must be told.
Cast looked exactly like the players in 83 world cup. A very well made film. Highly recommended.
Many Pakistan loving Indians are giving this one star reviews for some political agenda.
Dead Set (2008)
not many shows are this bad
Everything from script to acting was very bad about this. I felt like they were trying to copy American shows they didn't get enough money to make it even decent.
The Witcher (2019)
Rename this show to underage princess and her dad
Witcher is just name and season 2 is all about ugly looking underage girl that is also a very bad actor. Geralt was supposed to be protecting people. Terrible show. I would not recommend watching this.
The Expanse (2015)
I'm not impressed
The scenes are disjointed with the editing often not telling the story well. The shot reverse shot for seeing what the character is seeing or linking scenes or ideas is often lost.
Many of the characters cannot be understood because of mumbling or poor recording. Are they mumbling or are they trying to 'affect' accents? I cannot tell! I might understand if English is not the first language of many of the cast, but all of the actors have decent acting careers where this was NOT an issue...the script, direction of how to speak the dialogue, and/or recording of lines was garbage.
The Punisher (2017)
Very overrated, it's slow and boring.
Script is terrible. Acting is simple and flat. Story is small but stretched like a bubblegum. It feels cheap. Unnecessary drama to keep story going.
I forced myself to watch season 2 because of high ratings but I think Netflix cracked the ratings code!
Locke & Key (2020)
Strictly for kids under 9
Another Netflix show for kids. There are none complexities or suspense which adults want to see.
Script is filled with characters making silly decisions which grown ups will find hard to ignore.
Not recommended.
Foundation (2021)
I really enjoy it.
Sci-fi fan here.
Foundation, through the current block of episodes, is marvellous and well worth your time.
There is a ton of promise in this show. Beautifully shot, global in scope, and all built upon a slowly unfolding but compelling space mystery.
Highly recommended!
Invasion (2021)
Not another kids drama, this is different..
It's for those people who are able to understand it's complexities without being insanely bored. It's slowly unfolding but compelling alien mystery.
Those that will hate it will be Marvel Studios type who will scream 'where are the aliens?'
Really really good Apple! Keep this up!!!!!
Shadow and Bone (2021)
Great concept, direction, characters...
This is an excellent production. Had me hooked from the very first episode. People here are comparing this to GoT but GoT had a very dull start and it was all over the lace in the final season.
Travelers (2016)
Marcy is annoying character
Everything is decent about the show and worth watching but some annoying characters occupy too much of screen time.
The Umbrella Academy: The Swedish Job (2020)
Great episode..
A great episode that brings to light the evil that existed in our society.
It's sad that something so lesser like racism influenced so many people.
Karen (2021)
Some events are based on real life.. Must watch!
It will keep you interested throughout. I really enjoyed this one because I know of a similar incident that occurred in Australia.
A great film that brings to light the evil in our society. Highly recommend watching this.
Bhuj: The Pride of India (2021)
Skip it..
I usually watch the whole film but this one starts by quoting Krishna as saying - it's fine to kill for a higher purpose!! And I turned off my TV.
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Everything was perfect except annoying Australian actress
It was a good film but I don't think Margot Robbie playing role of Harley Quinn is going well. While playing action roles she looked not likeable at all. Other characters and story was perfect and enjoyable!
Jungle Cruise (2021)
Poles apart from reality
Very advanced British, primitive stone age like Amazon tribe and typical German bad guys. People are getting bored of same old fallacious perception.
The Forever Purge (2021)
inspired by recent events
This part is slightly different than rest of the series because it is inspired by the recent events happening in the US. Many political issues were mentioned in this film which somehow managed to connect audience more with this film.
Sachin (2017)
TERRIBLE
A documentary is expected to show details about his life and tell us some less known facts which it failed to do.
What We Do in the Shadows (2019)
Great show
Script writers are absolute genius! It will make you laugh.
Lost in Space (2018)
Robinsons should expect a terrible future
With those kids, it seems like their family name is not going to be be of much significance.
