Tantra (2024)

Twisted storylines to engage is not novel anymore.

[6/10 · 12 April 2024]

The story takes a while to pick up since the happenings are common like many other flicks in this genre. However, the intertangled connections between characters is the interesting part. There are no scares nor the movie is a horror flick. Its a thriller around black magic and has its platter decently full and tasty. The premise reminds of a recent good film 'Maa Oori Polimera-1'. Anyway actors are good and the screenplay isn't boring.

The ghost depictions are rather funny.

Killings or murders have been shown in a casual way which surprises. Its like a normal task. Haven't heard or seen the word LAW or POLICE anywhere.

Still with a few flaws its an interesting one time watch. Though next movies of the same premise would definitely start to get boring.

Murder Mubarak (2024)

Revisit Being Cyrus or Cocktail.

Yes thats better to do rather than spend half your life in this movie . Yes the movie drags so much that you feel half your life is gone . (Exactly what Vijay Verma says to Sara) Apart from performances and a few preclimax twists this movie has nothing to offer.

Sanjay Kapoor's being royal track is funny. So is Dimple's. Brijendra Kala and Vijay Verma are good and so is Sarah. But best is Tisca.

Pankaj is routine.

Didtnt enjoy even when was watching at a time where I had nothing better to do...i.e. Was on a long flight.

Would be better if makers stop copying Knives Out and maybe just recommend viewers to watch Knives Out instead.

Pindam (2023)

Few worthy jumpscares and right form of horror

[5/10 · 5 February 2024]

There are a few good and a few improvement points.

Direction is good.

Screenplay is slow. Misses a pace and could have been reduced to a length of 1.5 hr.

The horror isn't forced, has a backdrop.

Few jump scares are really good.

Casting of the main characters is good. Good acting by Srikanth and Easvari ji.

The plot is not new still keeps you engaged.

Much better than regular horror movies which pretend to be scary.

A bit gory though.

Climax is predictable amd can be guessed in the beginning itself.

My advice to makers- spare children being your target of scaring the audience.

Overall a 1-TIME-WATCH.
