Guns & Gulaabs (2023)
Raj and dk delivers it again
Guns and gulab isn't your regular series. It has 4 story which run parallel with each other which intertwine in between as story progresses. The main core success of this series for being so good is the story and screenplay. The screenplay is tight, story is engaging and one won't feel bored for a second. The direction and cinematography is as always top notch, and is "raj and dk standard". I couldn't praise these guys more for producing and making such a fine art, with such conviction . The actors are amazing, every actor did expecially wonderful job of portraying such an. Iconic characters. Especially gulshan devaiah and the kid who did the gangram character, these two actors did standout performance.
Raj and dk also add a old retro vibe in the series (I mean it's pretty obvious, because the story take place in late 90s) which work exceptionally well, all together I'm lost of words, this series I definitely in "top 7 best series I've ever watched" list. If you still haven't watched the series I would recommend watch it as 1 episode a day, as this is a series which came once in a year, so enjoy watching it, didn't rush watch it slowly take all the enjoyment.
Highly recommended.
Jubilee (2023)
Madan kumar.
A movie maker is making a movie ,which he's predicting is going to be blockbuster, and he only want a new comer to be play the lead role, the lead character name is madan kumar , the story of jubilee revolves around madan kumar itself, who is going to play madan kumar, who is going to be the new biggie in flim Industry and the story of madan kumar goes on.
Firstly I'm gonna clear myself that I'm vikram aditya motwani fan, so I can be biased but either way, he , as a director has done brilliant job.
As far as acting department is concern, every one of the actor and actresses has done brilliant brilliant job, arun govil is as always flawless, but one actor clearly shine in his role, and he's non other than Aparshakti khurana, bollywood has not even utilize 1% of his talent.
Set design and costumes are beautiful, dialogue are filmy but it blend in perfectly with the theme of series.
Screenplay is crisp, you do not feel bore at any time, rather the episode are nearly 55 min long.
Negatives : Here's 2 negative aspects I've picked that deducted the 2 point in my rating as well.
First negative is "to good to be true " aspect, here everything is happening buttery smooth, coincidences is filled in this series, every request of character passes without question so that's one thing I personally feel garring at times.
2nd negative is the motive and action of some character (it is interconnected with my 1st negative point) , to pass the action of one main character the another character do something ,which doesn't make any logic by his pov.
My final verdict will be, just go and watch you won't regret your time, it is I believe the best series after rocket boys, come from India this year. I will recommend it.
The Last of Us (2023)
Pedro pascal, take a bow.
It's been only 3 epi, but man oh man, what a fabulous journey it has been, in story as well as in emotions.
First epi was good, as I've never played the game, it was actually very nice introduction on how the thing's gets worse.
Second epi was 2nd best so far, moving story, great direction, everything was perfect.
Third epi on one side, is mine personal fvrt so far, this is non spoiler so I'm not gonna say much, but if you've seent the epi, you know why my eyes where full of tears.
I think the most best part of the series is it's atmosphere, it is very atmospheric show, rather being a apocalyptic story, we somehow connected so it hardly, that's why Hats off to all the crews of tlou, direction to set design to cinematography to bgm, everything is top top notch, as far as acting is concern, pedro has yet again prove that he's special, he really need a big big-screen project, bella ramsay has surprised us with her talent, she's just brilliant in her role, nick offerman, murray Barrett have done Oscar level acting in epi 3, I really am shortened by word to praise there hard work.
My final verdict will be, that, it is a big project, it is not going to stop recently, it will break many records, and I'm suspecting it to end in my top3 series of all time, when it ended.
Some even says that this is the best ever adaptation of any game in the history of universe.
So if you're wondering should I watch it or not, stop reading more reviews, just go and watch the freaking show, your brother has given word, "you will not be disappointed".
1899: The Ship (2022)
Sea, ships and mysteries.
****Spoiler*****
So creators just throw us in middle of a sea, and we get to introduce to maura, a doctor whose brother is calling him new York, to reveal there fathers secret, but his brother was in promethus ship, which is lost for 4 months , after this we get to introduce to tones of character.
° A French couple who're clearly not happy by there marriage, but there's something going on in there personal life.
° Two Chinese lady, behaving weird and pretending to be Japanese, by action of a mystery women.
° A sheep and a gay wolf.
° And our beautiful jonas, the captain.
Now we can understand nobody is happy cuz the ship takes u-turn, but most of em are worried of reaching New York late, but French guy, maura and captain seems to have some personal connection to that ship. At the end we left with alot of untold question, like whose the mysterious black guy? Who is and what have maura's father done? Why did that polish guy say "the ship shouldn't take a turn", did he have some secret knowledge?, whose the guy in drawer, and who's the guy who climp our ship ( I'm guessing both guy are same, and you know whose relatives they can be) , what's the connection of that beetles ? And finally what is that pyramid? A time machine? So there alot going on in this epi, and alot will happen in this series further, it can also get quite complex cuz of the quantity of characters we've got.
Now I will seem stupid ,if I talk abt the technical aspects of the epi, cuz you know who are the creators(right?), and you know they aren't gonna compromise in anything. So I'll just say, it's beautiful, the music and sound-design are the standout aspect for me.
Its a perfect epi, but still, I'll give it a solid "9".
Churuli (2021)
UNDERATED? HECK YA.
Churli a beautiful movie, abt some police officer entering in unknowable village named as "CHURULI",whilst they investigate in village they got to see some strange,,,,,I should stop here else it will be spoilers . Lejo jose pellissery is a director,who always give you certainly new concept,I m always excited for his project, he'll never provide you everything in front of your face,you have to dig inside the story,to geto know whats goings on here, in this movie the storytelling or the screenplay, stood out for me, lovely cinemetography,as always, the way they show only a village in such a beautifull way,love the camera work, everybodies acting was on point,everything in this movie was on point,so to say,may lots ppl didnt like the movie cuz it seems lil dragging in betw, but it justifies the time taken,at the last 30 minutes, i wonder why it has only, 2.5k voting till now,its a beautifully made movie and they arent gettin recognizion what they deserve,for me its a purely cinematic experience and a enjoyable watch,and during credits you'll scratch your head,for sure. I cut 1 star cuz for its promotion, there was no hype for this movie,atleast in northern side.
