Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023)
My Review is more entertaining than this movie!
What a total preachy garbage fest! Not entertaining and also seems stuck in the 90s. The background scores, the sets everything seems like it was from yesteryears but mixed with new flavor of DEIsm without genuine effort to show actual nuances and complexities of our society.
Karan is the Pritam da of moving making. He has copied bits and pieces from multiple movies. One sequence where Alia goes to Kashmir for some news event (so half baked that I didn't even understand what the sequence was trying to capture) but then Ranveer somehow arrives? Maybe taken from Saathiya? Then the dance and prayer sequence copied (ohh sorry! Inspired) from Sanjay leela bhansali. Some other band baaja baraat scenes etc. Gosh what a khichdi but far from comfort. It was like McDonands made Khichadi!
Now the worst part of the move!
Alia screeches in many fight scenes. Gosh I had to pause in one scene. In another mute and in another close my ears. Gosh lady stop screaming. She is decent actor but here her screeching should have stopped for gods sake!
Good part of the movie
Ranveer has poured his heart and soul. Good job. He is the saving grace and he has had many misses lately but this one is definitely a hit.
Overall review? What was the point of this movie? Seriously asking.
Pagglait (2021)
Excellent movie and Sanya Malhotra take a bow!!!!!
What a performance! What happens when makers invest into a movie, story and specially cast! We Indians also deserve to see mind blowing performances and here Sanya Malhotra, one of the most underrated actors of our countries gives us just what we crave to watch!
The movie is a bit slow but have patience. The magic is in moments. Loved the performances of Ashutosh Rana and Sheeba Chadda. In fact the supporting cast has done a great job. The story is also fresh, different. I personally loved the non-preachy but subtle way of telling female empowering story. This is good cinema!
I don't want to soil the review by bringing up the same old topic but I cannot help. What happens when makers don't succumb to pressure and cast an untalented Instagram famous star kid is you get a serious performance that stays with you long after the movie!
I wish to see more of Sanya and hope to see her in full commercial movies. I hope makers like Meghana Gulzar and Zoya are listening to the audience and cast actors like these in future.

Absolute fun ride
I have no idea why people have not rated it highly. It is fun watch with absolutely brilliant performances. You will enjoy it. For a change the school setting is so real and refreshing. It is not like SOTY. These school kids are very relatable.. In fact my school was not very different for the school shown in the movie. Rajkumar Rao is just brilliand and Nushrat has also done a great job! All in all I will highly recommend this movie.
Gully Boy (2019)
Institutional Elitism of the maker shows in lack of originality of the movie
The maker (Zoya Akhtar) openly endorsed Institutional Elitism on a news channel. She said something on the lines endorsing nepotism (look up barber shop anology). This elitism shows in the casting of the movie and the concept. A stolen movie (lack of originality) and the same cast from elite club except Siddhant Chaturvedi. He was excellent!
Kalank (2019)
Very bad
This movie is very bad. It also shows Dharma shows NO effort in casting. They have their elite closed club of actors and actresses who can't act to save lives but Dharma will only consistently cast them. ZERO effort casting new upcoming actors. Such powerful production house has the capability to make a real difference. They can bring some amazing talent to forefront. Well what better can we expect from an arrogant Production house like this.
Bandish Bandits (2020)
Really good show. Won't disappoint.
This is a highly entertaining show. It delivers ! This is one unique show where trailer doesn't do justice to the actual show. It is much better! Highly recommend.
Love Aaj Kal (2020)
Bad acting by lead actors ruined it
The acting is so bad it is unbelievable they couldn't find 2 decent actors !!!
We know nepotism has ruined bollywood but you can still retrieve some ounce of bearable acting. Not here! The movie is not that bad actually but the terrible acting ruined the experience. Also Imtiaz needs to reinvent himself. The movies seem repetitive in nature.
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011)
Very shallow !
This movie has no depth! It is a story of 3 men 2 of which are very rich and one seems very comfortable with money go on an adventure where rich people go. Their struggles are frivolous! The story is frivolous!
There is a manic pixie dream girl who saves the main hero's life! It is terrible!
