Bhuj: The Pride of India (2021)

huge failure in aspect of expectation.

[3/10 · 13 August 2021]

I dont know what to say. I mean i had huge expectation from this movie but it failed to match that by a huge length. Definitely one will get goosebumps from few of the scenes and songs and yes its a good way to show respect to our armed forces and heroic actions of civilians. But this movie fails many times to provide the timeline of the scenes as well as flow of scenes.

I wont say that acting was bad, veteran actors did a fabulous acting.

If you are making a movie on real events do it in a realistic way.

The Crown: Hyde Park Corner (2016) Season 1, Episode 2

Long Live Queen Elizabeth.

[9/10 · 5 July 2020]

This episode title expression "Hyde Park Corner" is used as the code within the British government to announce secretly that the king, George VI, is dead. But there are so many little things to be noticed like the nature of Prince Phillips, respect is given by that little boy and people of those tribe.

This episode has to be the outstanding one. So well directed. At the beginning of the show, you can see Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth filling in the shoes of her father by taking the trip around the world. You can also see Prince Phillips adjusting in his new role. Back in Britain, you see His Majesty spending his last few days shooting and spending time with her daughter who is unaware of the coming future.

The day His Majesty passed away, you can see every single step involved through the process of revealing his majesty death. From informing his mother to bring the flag down and to inform the Prime Minister. All was so well directed and pictured. The moment Prime minister ask if Princess has been informed of not, the reply is "if you mean by the new queen" leaves you to think about the society which does not care about anything else than its ownagendas. I mean it has just been an hour when his majesty has passed away and you talk about new queen in front of His Majesty long old friend. The urge of communicating the message to her majesty. You can fill the chills when Her majesty writes the letter for her papa unaware of his death. When Prince Phillips informs Queen Elizabeth, the quiet moments tell you about all.

This episode shows the real inhumane nature of the world when just after the death of his majesty, Queen Elizabeth is asked to select her regal name. She beautifully states: "my name is Elizabeth!". The pause just after the advisor of Queen Elizabeth says "Then, Long Live Queen Elizabeth" makes you think what she would have felt. The looks given by Prince Phillips let you belive the bond he shares with his wife that he understands what she is going through and the worlds inhumane act towards her.

The letter from her grandmother gives us the reality check when she says that she needs to mourn two people her father and Elizabeth Montbatten (namely, the spouse of Philip) as she is going to be "Elizabeth Regina" (Queen Elizabeth) and the crown must win always. The duties as the queen await for her and she can't act like a normal person but need to act like a queen. You can also feel that this is just going to be a hard time for both the queen and the prince and their relationship too as the advisor says the Crown takes precedence. You can feel Prince male ego getting hit. The statement "the Crown takes precedence" can be felt when even her mother bows down in front of her showing how ranking does matter and leaves you with lots to think about.

The Crown: Wolferton Splash (2016) Season 1, Episode 1

A Great Start.

[8/10 · 5 July 2020]

When a historic show is aired the most difficult part is to get the audience attention which this very first episode did very well. Starting with the illness of His Majesty to the marriage of Her Majesty and the actual politics of Britain of that time. I must say he keep me wondering about many things. The acting and writing were so good. It makes you feel that you were there and when this all was taking part. I hope this show keep being like this.

Breaking In (2018)

One Time Watch

[5/10 · 5 July 2020]

When i read the title, i was expecting something like criminal breaking in the house but it was completely different. It was a mother breaking in the house to save her kids from criminals who have taken control of the house so that justify the title of the movie.

There were a lot of disappointing things but acting by everyone was good.

The Call (II) (2013)

Shows the emotions/pressure of U.S.A.'s very first responders- THE 911 OPERATORS.

[6/10 · 5 July 2020]

Well, as we all know that 911 is the very first thing that citizens of U.S.A. dial on having any sort of emergency and they respond but we never come to know how they actually feels/deals when they receive the calls. This movie gives us the little bit of insight of that. When a young woman's frantic report of a prowler ends tragically, Jordan(Halle Berry) is devastated which you can say to be so realistic. You can see and imagine what she goes through and its just about a single call. The 911 operators deals with so many things. When teenager Casey Welson is abducted and call 911, viewers can see the pressure built in the hive (911 operation centre). The ways Jordan deals with the crime as 911 operators makes you to imagine what an operator goes through those calls.

I will rate as 6.5/10 at the best because of the climax which could have been better. 911 operators works behind the shadow not on the field.

Spider-Man: Far from Home (2019)

Better than homecoming

[7/10 · 6 July 2019]

If you expect it to compete with endgame then I'm sorry it's not up to that level but in comparison with homecoming it's better. Showing the growth of Peter Parker is really great. I personally liked this movie because I think this movie is going to the bridge between the previous movies and to the upcoming ones. Action scenes were not as good as I expected it to be (in compare with iron man and avengers). But rest was good. Plot was really good as I said that I will be a bridge between old movies and upcoming ones. Sound and music were great. Definitely a better version of Peter Parker, better than homecoming.
