Salaar (2023)

An Action Saga Which Brings Back The Euphoria Of PRA-BOSS,With A World Building...

[8/10 · 2 January 2024]

So I Finally Watched One Of The Most Anticipated Movie 'Salaar' Starring REBEL STAR Prabhas,Prithviraj Sukuruman In Main Leads Written And Directed By Prashant Neel.

So If You Ask Me To Define My Experience In One Line It's One Man Show Prabhas Show,With A Perfect Neel's Elevating Screenplay. So Coming To The Plot A Gang Leader Tries To Keep A Promise Made To His Dying Friend And Takes On The Other Criminal Gangs.

So Going In Detail,The Film's First Half Was Fast,Engaging With Racy Screenplay And Ends With A Bang Interval And In Second Half,Film Enters Into Main Conflict Which Is World Building,Establishing The Characters Of 'KHANSAAR' And Its Politics,And With A Powerful Climax With A Big Reveal.

So Coming To Performances,As Said Its One Man Show,Prabhas's Show. He Just Killed With His Screen Presence,'DEVA' A Character Which Will Be Registered In Masses For A Long Time,A Character Which Brings Out The Prabhas That Was Eagerly Urged By Everyone.

Coming To Prithviraj Sukumaran He Was Phenomenal In His Role,Playing 'Vardaraja Mannar' The Emotional Balance Carried Throughout The Film By Him Was Brilliant. And Film Has A Huge Supporting Cast Everyone Were Fit To Their Roles And Delivered Great. Shruthi Hassan Doesn't Have A Huge Scope In Her Character,May Be She Will Be Used In Next Venture.

Coming To The Technicalities,Hand's Down The Best Thing About The Film Was Its Action Blocks,They Were Just Adrenaline Pumping And Whistle Worthy One's Which Was Smoothly Delivered By Prabhas,Undoubtedly 'Katteramma' Sequence Is My Most Favourite Thing In Whole Movie,It Was Just Epic. Music By Ravi Basur Was Good Especially During Action Sequences,But Does Not Leave Heavy Impact As 'KGF'. CameraWork Was Asusual Great. I Should Seriously Appericiate Production Values Of The Film,It Drags You Into The City Of Khansaar. Editing Was Ok,Screenplay Feels Little Bit Dragged Out In The Second Half Of The Film.

Coming To The Writer And Director Prashant Neel He Really Succeeded In Showcasing The World Of Khansaar And Character's Motives. But Somewhat Felt Missing In His Writing During Drama. But Again He Should Be Appreciated For Showcasing Friendship,And Bringing Out Character 'DEVA' In His Signature Style.

At Last Salaar Is A Action Drama Where Prabhas's Stands Out To Be The Back Bone Of The Film. The Action Block's,Prabhas's Screen Presence,World Building Of Khansaar Make's This One A Worth Watch. Which Create's A Curiosity For The Next Part. Finally A Much Needeed Comeback Delivered By REBEL...

Hi Nanna (2023)

A Beautiful Tale Of Love,Where Music And Performances Stand Out At It's Best...

[9/10 · 9 December 2023]

So I Watched 'Hi Nanna' Starring Natural Star 'Nani',Mrunal Thakur And Kiara Khanna,Written And Directed By Shouryauv. Well,If You Ask Me To Describe My Experience While Watching Movie It Was Just Magical. While Going In Detail The Plot Of The Movie Is A Single Father Begins To Narrate the Story Of The Missing Mother To His Child And Nothing Remains The Same.

And Then Follows The Emotional Rollercoaster Ride Which Was Driven Perfect. So Coming To The Performances They Were Phenomenal,Nani Was Just Perfect,After His Performance In 'Dasara' I Thought This Is The Best Performance Of Him,But He Proved Me Wrong In Very Less Time. The Emotional Weightage Carried By Viraj Character Was Just Brilliant,He's Performance Through The Character Viraj Stay With You For A Long Time. And Coming To Mrunal Thakur,Asusual She Steals Your Heart By Her Beautiful Performance,The Complexities And Transition Carried By Yashna Character Was Delivered Beautifully By Her,This Performance Of Her Another 'Sita' From 'Sita Ramam'. And Coming To The 'Mahi' Played By Kiara Khanna Was Absolutely The Show Stealer. She Overshadowed The Leads Of The Film By Her Cuteness And Sincerity Carried By Her Performance. She's Would Be Definetly Admiring For Child Artists Like Her... And Coming To The Technical Aspects,Music By Hesham Abdul Wahab Was Magnificent,He Brings A Soul To The Movie By Songs And Background Music. And Cinematography Was Eyepleasing And Beautifully Carried,Which Should Be Carried For A Beautiful Movie. Coming To Screenplay And Editing,I Felt Second Half Was Bit Lengthy Which Could Be Reduced.

And Coming To The Debutant Shourayuv,He's Writing Throughout Was Backbone To Movie. He Succeeded Carrying A Feel And Emotion Throughout The Movie Which Was Needed For A Feel Good Movie. The Drama Built By Him,The Way He Delivered The Plot Twists Was Really Appericiative And Atlast,'Hi Nanna' Is A Warm Hug Like Film Which Stays In You Heart For A LongWhile. And Ofcourse A Family Watchable. So Dont Miss It...

Leo (III) (2023)

An Engaging ,Technically Brilliant Action Thriller.Which Brings Out 'ACTOR' Vijay...

[8/10 · 27 October 2023]

So Finally Watched 'Leo' Starring Thalapathy Vijay As Lead,Followed By A Great Supporting Cast Trisha,Sanjay Dutt,Arjun,GVM...And Many More,Directed By LOKESH KANAGARAJ. Which Is An Official Adaptation of 'HISTORY OF VIOLENCE'... Well Coming To The Plot,Parthiban is a mild mannered cafe owner in Himachal Pradesh, who fends off a gang of murderous thugs and gains attention from a drug cartel claiming he was once a part of them.

If You Ask Me To Describe The Whole Thing In One Line,Its One Man Show Its 'THALAPATHY'S' Show With A Great First Half,But Second Half Suffers From Weak Writing... Coming To The Performances,As Said It Brings Out The Best Performance Of Vijay As Everyone Wanted Which Was Missing In His Recent Ventures . He Stand's Out To Be The Reason To Watch The Movie,Coming To Other's Trisha Was Good in Her Role But Arjun's And Sanjay Dutt's Presentation Was Little Weak.

Coming To The Technical Work,It's Undoubtedly Best Work Carried Out By Loki In His Filmography. The Action Set Pieces Was Just Exhilarating,Brilliant Which Keep's Edge Of Your Seat. The Music By ROCKSTAR 'Anirudh ' Was Asusual Praise Worthy ,The Tracks Played By Him In The Entire Film Was Just Awesome. Cinematography Was Rich And Eye Pleasing... And Coming To The Negatives,The Second Half Suffers Really From A Half Baked Writing Especially The Flash Back Episode,Which Was Really Ordinary Compared To Loki's Previous Work. The Second Half Almost Run's Only On One Line. The LCU Factor Which Was Added It Doesn't Leave Upto The Hype.

At Last,Yes It May Be The Loki's Weak Work's,But The Thalapathy Vijay Performance,The Action SetPieces ,Technical Brilliance And Few Surprises, Make's This A Worth Watch On Big Screens... Ofcourse Better Than The Vijay's Recent Commercial Films...

Jawan (2023)

Jawan Is A Perfect 'INDIAN' Commercial Cinema...

[8/10 · 19 September 2023]

So I Finally Watched 'Jawan' On Big Screen,Starring KING Sharukh Khan,Nayanthara And Vijay Sethupathi,Directed By Atlee. So If you Ask Me to Define Film In One Word Its Is,Get Ready To Witness The 'MASSIEST AVATAR OF SRK EVER'.

I Throughly Enjoyed Watching The Film,So If We Get Into The Plot I dont Want to Reveal So Much,A man is driven by a personal vendetta to rectify the wrongs in society, while keeping a promise made years ago. And What We See Next Just Magic Driven By KING In Hands Of Atlee... So Coming To The Perfomance's Undoubtedly It Is The Best BadAss Role That SRK Has Ever Pulled Off,He Is The One Thing That Can Make You Sit Throughout The Film,He Makes Us Laugh,He Makes Us Emotional And Very Importantly He Make Us to Realise Through his Emotion In Performance. Still I Cant Get Over The Euphoria Created By VIKRAM RATHOD... Coming To Others, Nayanthara Was Good in Her Role She carried Well A Role Of PowerFul Lady Cop,But the Impact That Came From The Special Appearence By Deepika Padukone Was Something Else,The Weightage Carried Out By Her Role Is Beautiful.

So Does The Film Is Free Of Negatives? No. So Coming To Role of Vijay Sethupathi. It was Disappointing That His Role Was Not Perfectly Written According To His Acting Potential He Has. But Somehow He Managed Through his Performance. We have Also A Good Amount Of Supporting Cast , But Priyamani,Sanya Malhothra Stand Out.

Coming To The Technical Aspects The Film Has A Brilliant Cinematography. The Way The Camera Work Was Done While Shooting The Action Set pieces Was Just Brilliant. And Coming To the Music,'ANIRUDH RAVICHANDER' What To Say about This Man He Again Succeeded Creating Ramp Through His Brilliant Background Score. The Screenplay And Editing Was also Good,The Pace Of Was Fast And Doesnt Bore You,Keep's Invested Throughout.

And Coming To The Director Atlee,He Succeeded Showing His Point Which Are Social Issues Through Characters FlashBack's, Powerful Dialogues And Scenarios Which Were Trying To Showcase Situations In Our Country. And Once Again He Should be Appreciated For Bringing The Most Styliest OutCome of SRK.

So Finally Jawan Is Film,That Brings A Festival Through The Action SetPieces,Message And Ofcoures By Sharukh Khan Where You Can't Control YourSelf To Whistle,Clap Over The Star And The Movie...

Jailer (I) (2023)

SUPERSTAR AND ANIRUDH MAKE THIS A WORTH WATCH,BUT SECOND HALF SUFFERS...

[7/10 · 19 August 2023]

Haaa,So After So much wait I can proudly say that yes this is the RAJINIFIED Comeback... This Movie 'JAILER' Starring SUPER STAR RAJINIKANTH in the main lead,Which is Directed by Nelson. After a big letdown by 'BEAST' Starring Vijay Thalapathy,A Question Raised When This project has Announced,That Can he showcase his stardom without spoiling or without misleading it?.Because If u Observe the Previous projects of The Star they were just wasted opportunities... But he succeeded in bringing the euphoria of Rajini's with a perfect blend of Plot that offers a new Rajini that fits to him which doesn't feel Irrelevant or Silly,and not affected by any Stupid Commercial Stereotype... Coming to the Plot Without any so much Revelation,Muthuvel Pandian A Retired Jailer Who is leading happier life with his family,His life gets turned when his Cop Son gets killed while investigating a Idol smuggling. Muthuvel Pandian sets To find his Son's Killers where he get strucked into a dark world... So Coming to the Movie It Has a Electrifying,Thrilling First Half But a Overstretched Confused Second Half followed by Powerful Climax. Coming to the Performances Ofcourse it's only One Man show,That's Superstar's show He just nailed it,he was perfect in every frame. And Coming to the supporting Cast we have big cameos like Mohanlal And ShivaRajkumar's. But Shivanna Stands out...🔥And remaning were good in their roles. But I have to speak about One person the antagonist Vinayakan alias 'Varman' he just dominated the whole film through his deadly screen presence. Ofcourse he will cherished one of the powerful antognists ever... Coming to the technical aspects, The Rockstar Anirudh asusual the Backbone of the Whole movie,He just created rampage throughout the show through his Music.

Still can't get over 'HUKUM'. The Cinematography was great,Production Values are Good. The Editing &Screenplay could be bettered By trimming or reducing 20mins.. Overall If the Second Half was not distrubed by uneccessary Twists & Turns which doesn't impact at all The Good First Half,Great Interval & Climax Followed by a Terrific show of Rajini and Anirudh Make's this a worth watch... And again Nelson should appreciated for utilising the opportunity,which didn't happen for previous Film Makers...

Bangalore Days (2014)

An Absolute Breezy Watch...

[10/10 · 18 April 2023]

So recently I watched this movie named "Bangalore Days" Starring Dulquer Salman,Nivin Pauly,Nazirya Nazim,Fahadh Fahsil,Parvathy and Nithya Menon... So cast itself is the first great aspect to watch the film. Me being a movie buff came along many malayalam movies,but since so many years I wanted to watch this film but it had postponed always,But finally I watched it... After watching movie the only word that can be described is BEAUTIFUL... This the movie which attracted so many people to watch malayalam movies,This is a movie which has everything that can engage and engross the audience throughout the movie. The movie is nearly 3 Hours but we won't feel bore even for a second,This movie takes you through the life's of the characters,and obviously through BANGALORE... The drama,emotions,dialogues which hit your heart and stay with you even after the movie. And coming to acting the actor in the cast gave their best efforts to bring the soul to characters. Technically,the film is perfect.

Cinematography helped to capture the beauty of Bangalore,the songs were perfectly placed and none of them felt irrevelant and they dont disturb the pace of movie.

At last,the movie teaches many life lessons,facing the situations in life. This the movie you watch with your parents without any disturbances. Defintely this is the best feel good or coming of age stories came out ever in India.

I just want to say go with it,it gives you a lasting experience,that can be watched anytime...
