Jigokuraku (2023)
extremely interesting plot
I was hooked to the anime from the first episode and couldn't wait after 7 episodes and started reading manga, the story is next level and I can't wait for it to be animated, this anime will break the internet same as Jujutsu kaisen, demon slayer whenever a new season comes because of it's amazing animation.
If you really want to find out what happens next then definitely try out manga because manga is already finished and from what I've seen there are many fans for this manga even before the anime was approved, manga is going at an interesting pace and keeping me guessing, among all the new anime that came this year, hell's paradise has that fresh feel as the story seems unique, even though it's about an MC who's a ninja, you won't find any similarities with the plot of naruto.
Virupaksha (2023)
A Good attempt with Flaws
This is definitely a Good movie with few flaws.
Pros - 1. Movie backdrop is interesting, Rural area is captured and presented well.
2. plot is interesting.
3. good pacing and screenplay.
4. great theatre experience.
Cons - 1. Samyuktha menon's performance is average.
2. too many twists {yes, it's a con if not well done}.
3. climax is long and stretched out more than it should be.
Now let's talk about flaws and Goofs
* In the beginning of the movie Nandini (samyuktha's) mother says that the village will be destroyed in 12 years but it doesn't even make sense remotely after the reveal of the twists.
* How does Rajeev kanakala didn't realise what's going on in his basement all these years ? Even if she cleaned up every time it didn't make sense.
* why didn't anyone in the village connect the dots that Nandini might be the child of the black magic couple ? It's clear that one other person knew who she was apart from Rajeev kanakala, it was mentioned that it's a really small village with population of 350 people so Adopting someone out of the blue would raise discussions.
* what is Rajeev kanakala doing in the basement in the climax ? Also if the entire village is not present and are attending the ritual who is the one that Hurt Rajeev kanakala? Assuming he fell down on his own, why didn't he respond until SDT catch him ?
Final verdict - although the movie is a good watch but these kind of Goofs and Flaws really take the fun out of the film.
HIT: The 2nd Case (2022)
Not at all gripping
The first part of the franchise is a good one and I would rate the first part 8/10 but the second one is lacking in many aspects.
Let's talk about where it is lacking
1. I really think Adivi Sesh's is one of the best actor among tollywood heroes but in this movie his acting is average and felt kind of forced.
2. Plot is a big minus as it is easy to predict.
3. The first part dealt with many aspects like PTSD, good plot, excellent detective work and the relationship issues but the 2nd part tried too hard to make it bigger than Hit 1 but fell far behind.
4. The publicity might've helped in collections but the future of the series is under alot of pressure, HIT 2 is not an investigative thriller nor a police procedural, all I can say is it's just an average story.
5. People who are only familiar with tollywood movies might like this one but if you're well versed with other industry movies and also watch Hollywood detective movies and shows then you'll feel like you're ripped off after watching it in theatre with your hard earned money.
Kantara (2022)
Didn't expect this
I was skeptical at first about watching this movie because you need to know about the kannada culture or their folk lore to appreciate the movie because in the past I have watched a movie named "Rangitaranga" after watching the great ratings but found it to be an average flick and then I understood that I need to be familiar with their culture and places to completely appreciate the movie, after that I have watched a great deal of kannada movies based on good ratings but wasn't disappointed as much but then I watched "Vikranth Rona" this year and I didn't like the movie and to be frank I felt like I was watching a high budget version of "Rangitaranga" again but then I watched "Kantara" and I was reminded of the quote to never Judge a book by it's cover, movie is too good, it's not slow paced at all, it's a content driven movie with an amazing climax, Rishab did an excellent job and I'm sure he would be the recipient of National award for best actor this year, thank you kannada industry for giving such good content movies like Charlie and Kantara in 2022.
Hori-san to Miyamura-kun (2021)
Awesome but feels Incomplete
I really loved the anime, hence the 9 rating but I was left with the feeling of something incomplete when it ended, I know the show is about Hori and Miyamura but I still feel bad for side characters.
The side characters story arcs were left incomplete and this bugs me more than it should because after 5 episodes the story is not about Hori and Miyamura anymore, Toru, Kouno, Yoshikawa, Yanagi, Sawada and Ioru character stories got interesting but none of them get the ending they deserve, they should've atleast pair them up instead of hinting that they might be together in future without any certainty.
I wished Toru would end up with Kouno or Yoshikawa, I was fine either way but I preferred he ended up with Kouno because Yanagi loves Yoshikawa and it would've made sense too because he's the only character that has a screen time with Yoshikawa's sister.
Forensic (2020)
Rollercoaster
The first half of the film is great,not gonna lie but the second half is the exact opposite.
I didn't have any expectations before watching the movie and I really liked how the movie progressed in the first half.
What ruined the movie?
-- having a great twist creates a huge impact on audience and forensic delivered it during the interval scene but the second half consists of few more twists which doesn't make much sense at all but the logic behind the ending scene felt promising but the serial killer reveal is disappointing, it's so obvious that the serial killer revealed in the ending is definitely our first guess.
Final conclusion is, a twist in a thriller movie doubles the impact but too many twists ruins it.
My rating,
first half - 4.5/5
Second half - 1.5/5
Climax (2020)
So bad
If you paid for this then you're probably going to regret it, my friends and I planned on watching it so I purchased instead of downloading for free but I regret doing so
The visuals are fine and they are the only reason for my 2 star rating, RGV utilised natural light to shoot some great shots which shows the experience and capability of RGV but the plot is so weak I wanted to stop watching it and after watching the film none of my friends liked the movie at all.
For those who are looking for reviews my suggestion is not to watch this movie.
Chuck (2007)
A show that has everything
I had no expectations from the show and i decided to give it a try one day and to be honest I was not that hooked during first few episodes thinking that this show is going to follow the same pattern every episode but it changed my mind by getting good episode by episode and by the end of season 1 I was hooked and really enjoyed watching the show.
Now talking about the show, the primary objective of this show is humour but it has all the elements like action, romance, twists and cliffhangers too, chuck is too good and if you're a fan of psych or Brooklyn 99 you would definitely love the show.
Now let's talk about some good things and few bad things about the show,
Good things:-
1. Great casting- chuck,Sarah,Casey,Ellie, Devon,Jeff,Lester all of these characters made it a great watch.
2. Interesting plot- chuck downloads all the government secrets and information to his brain by accident and he was being handled by two awesome agents not to mention the subtle comedy around the buymore.
3. Action packed comedy- it's really hard to mix these two in a TV show and chuck did a great job of it.
4. Story pacing- the show doesn't lag at all writers did a good job keeping the story according to the demand of fans.
5. Romance- chuck and Sarah are the perfect couple, they redefine love in their own terms and it's really great that the show writers didn't rush their relationship, chuck and Sarah really had emotional character building before getting into relationship thanks to the writers.
6. Emotional- chuck is not just a comedy/action/romance tv show it has it's emotional moments especially during the last two episodes of season 5.
Bad things:-
1. Plot holes- the story followed a logical plot and great story line for the first two seasons and most part of the 3rd season too but it all went downhill after season 3 like how the intersect can be used by anyone and in the first season it's mentioned that Chuck's probably the only one who survived the intersect upload, not to mention none of the background stories of main team checks out like Sarah and the baby 5 years ago flashback and Casey's missions, they don't make proper sense.
2. Extending the contract- the show was supposed to be 2 seasons or 3 seasons max according to the contract but the show got fame and due to the demand of viewers they had extended the show, season 1&2 were awesome and season 3 was good but it went downhill after that.
3. Season 4 - everything moves too fast in this season and they really rush it in season 4 like proposing Sarah episode and also the CIA missions doesn't make sense either and the best buddies Morgan and chuck gets less screen time together and story gets predictable and alexie volkoff is portrayed perfectly but the character has no stability which made zero sense and then comes vivian volkoff episodes which doesn't make sense either because one minute she was a trusting and good person and the next episode she was evil and hunting chuck and his family/team because her trust was betrayed then again family rejoining on volkoffs happen and they leave with untraceable identities Casey made for chuck and Sarah this season is watchable because of chuck and Sarah chemistry and subtle comedy here and there this season was mostly enjoyed by women and people who prefer romance most.
4. Season 5- okay this is ridiculous how can a show as great as chuck would turn out like this, the first episode chuck and Sarah announce that they received 800 million from volkoff industries and started Carmichael industries and then they lose all those money by the end of the episode, I mean what's the point and then they introduce verbanski corp which is the rival and the only purpose was to get Casey a girl before farewell and most ridiculous thing is getting Morgan the intersect and those episodes were not easy to watch don't get me wrong I love Morgan and stating the obvious thing here but chuck getting intersect 2.0 is a surprise for fans and everyone really enjoyed it even though it's not what people expecting but they took the intersect out of chuck in season 5 and people didn't like it much even though chuck gets the intersect back it was too late by then not to mention Sarah using the intersect just to lose all the memories of past 5 years of her life.
5. Last two episodes of chuck - Sarah and chuck are the perfect couple without a doubt and their relationship is the key point in the plot of the show but Sarah using the intersect and losing her memories is a huge blow to the fans and the pre finale episode is ridiculous, Sarah losing her memories was enough to depress the fans but Sarah trying to kill chuck is ridiculous I can't imagine how it looked in the mind of writers but it's not a great thing for fans and fans were still hoping that Sarah would gain memories by the end of the episode but by end of the episode sarah believes everything chuck says about them is true but doesn't remember anything or feel anything then the final hope for the fans is finale and the villian of season 5 is a joke, Quinn appears out of thin air in season 5 and the actor portrayed wasn't that good either and Sarah tries to kill Quinn but fails so comes to chuck for the resources and chuck offers help to take him down and a saving general from the bomb threat by using the same virus used in episode 1 is nostalgic and touching and all but fans doesn't care about any of that not even chuck getting intersect back at that point everyone wanted Sarah to gain back her memories but that goes down when chuck had to use intersect glasses final upload on himself and Sarah doesn't remember anything at all but during the diffusion of the bomb Sarah recalls little details during their missions but they don't mean much and at the end Sarah is sitting on a beach and asks chuck for their story and cries but couldn't remember anything then chuck says that Morgan believes if they kiss then Sarah could remember everything and then they kiss, the end and the fans were still not satisfied we wanted something special for Chuck's finale not the thing that chuck already has and lost it and probably gained it again by the end of finale.
I would actually give the show 10/10 for first 3 seasons but season 4&5 are the reasons behind my rating
