Direction - Mrighdeep Singh Lamba is successful in projecting the Delhi Boys lifestyle on the Silver Screen. He does a fantastic job as a director.

Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017)

Great Action, Beautiful CGI, Excellent VFX, Electric Background Music, Extraordinary Performances from the team makes this movie the biggest movie of 2017!!

[9/10 · 16 October 2017]

Baahubali 2 : The Conclusion is a Indian Telegu Film Directed By SS Rajamouli starring Prabhas, Anushka Shetty, Rana Daggubati, Sathyaraj and Ramya Krishnan.

I went in the theater with lots of expectations and excitement. The Entry Song 'Shivam' is picturized fantabulously! Rajamouli gives a highlight of the prequel in the most unexpected and brilliant way. The Entry scene of Amarendra Baahubali gives goosebumps with amazing background music. Being an morning viewer of movies, I never get to witness whistling and cheering but surprisingly, crowd goes mad on his entry. The Movie develops well with some spectacular story telling from the director and stunning visuals and very well choreographed action scene and suddenly Rajamouli throws a twist in story towards the audience which unfortunately destroys my theory of WHY KATTAPPA KILLED BAAHUBALI. The movie goes ahead strongly and finally comes the Big Budgeted Climax Fight Scene. The Last Fight is spectacular with some spectacular background music, great acting, extraordinary CGI and VFX and amazing choreography.

Performances - Prabhas delivers a great performance. He reads both the characters and differentiates them amazingly. This is definitely a career changing film for him as he will gain a huge amount of fans and followers with this one, deservedly Anushka Shetty plays the strong character of Devasena with grace and precision. She manages to look beautiful, but nah! Don't mistake her to be an eye candy! She delivers a strong performance Rana Daggubati delivers a good performance and looks evil, scary and strong Sathyaraj as Kattappa is fantastic! Ramya Krishnan is superb in the role of Rajmata Sivagami

Music - Music is given by MM Kreem. Shivam is a good song with some great beats. Soja Zara is a sweet classical song which is enjoyable. Jiyo Re Baahubali is a great track to express the royal character of Amarendra Baahubali. Jay Jaykara is a great song too. Veeron ke Veera is not so great

Summary - Baahubali 2 : The Conclusion doesn't disappoint me in anyway. It is extraordinary in every aspect. From Royal Sets to Beautiful Eye Pleasing Visuals and Great Action scenes, Baahubali 2 has all the cards right! The performances from all the characters are fabulous. SS Rajamouli delivers a lot of Whistle-Cheer moments with his extraordinary story telling. Overall this movie is big, majestic and dominates all the other movies releasing this year. 9 out of 10 for this fantastic creation!!

Judwaa 2 (2017)

Varun carries this terrible story on his shoulders

[3/10 · 16 October 2017]

Judwaa 2 is an Indian Hindi film directed by David Dhawan starring Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu. It can be called a Slightly Twisted Remake of 1997 film 'Judwaa' With very few changes in the story, this movie is very predictable for the people who have watched the prequel. This movie has very rare laughs unlike the prequel. The story seems to be illogical at so many parts. This movie does a decent job for the young viewers who just want mindless entertainers but for the elder or logical audiences, this flick is just a mess!

Performances - Varun Dhawan is good in his role of Raja and Prem. He does a good job in differentiating the characters of Raja and Prem and carries the burden of whole movie on his shoulder.

Jacqueline is simply an attraction for the male audience. She looks hot throughout the film. Her acting is definitely poor in this movie but even a good performance from her wouldn't make a difference to this terribly scripted film

Taapsee tries her best to make this film a good one, she acts really well and looks hot.

Music - This Music Album is given by Sajid Wajid, Anu Malik and Meet Bros. The Iconic Song 'Chalti hai kya 9 se 12' and 'Oonchi hai Building' entertains. The lead casts dance really well. 'Aa Toh Sahi' is a good and entertaining song with good music. ' Suno Ganpati Bappa Morya' is a good tune with horrible and senseless lyrics.

Summary - This is a below average movie with a good performance from Varun and Taapsee, a few laughs, a good looking cast and fantastic music.

Should I Watch this? Varun fans and people expecting a mindless entertainer with glam and good songs might like this one but for the rest of the people, it's better if you stay away from this!

In Your Name (2003)

Salman breathes fire in this immensely painful flick!

[8/10 · 16 October 2017]

Tere Naam is a remake of Tamil Movie 'Sethu'. This movie stars Salman Khan (Radhe), Bhumika Chawla (Nirjara), Sarfaraz Khan (Aslam). I saw this movie when it was aired on TV. The first few minutes of the movie is just boring with over the top action, a so called item song, and typical Indian Drama, horrible cinematography, I expected this flick to be a Below Average Masala Movie. But soon this movie starts getting better. Overall the first half of the movie is decent or we can say Good. The second half brings an unexpected storm for the viewers or after such a decent first half, I didn't expect such a brilliant second half. The story has pain which is enough to make you cry, for all the people heartbroken by love, this movie will play with the strings of your heart and leave you in tears.

Performances - Salman Khan breathes fire in his role. Radhe's character has layers of Obsession, Rowdiness, Pain and Insanity and Salman nails all the layers. Salman was considered to be a below average actor with well toned muscles, attractive attitude and amazing screen presence, but Salman proves the haters wrong with this one. He is just amazing and now I consider him as an amazing actor. Bhumika Chawla is decent in Nirjara's role. Nothing extraordinary but nothing bad too Sarfaraz Khan plays his role well The Rest of the cast is good

Music - Music of this movie is fabulous. Himesh Reshammiya does a fantastic job with the music. Udit Narayan is a legend and his voice is the heart of this Music Album. Sukhwinder Singh sings the very tough song 'Lagan Lagi' amazingly. Alka Yagnik is fab!

Summary - This Movie is not for the weak hearted people. The First Few Minutes of the movie is boring and overall the first half is decent, but it's worth the wait for the extraordinary second half. Salman delivers a spectacular performance. I loved this movie. I will give this 8 out of 10!

Should you watch this? Yes! To witness some spectacular performance and an emotionally draining story! Don't forget to carry tissues and thank me later!
