Article 370 (2024)
Based on true events
This film as said is based on true events.
It's not completely true. All characters are not exactly the ones as being represented. Things are just added to spice up things.
But we can't deny that there was terror in Kashmir. It was a land where establishing law and order was being difficult. And it also was costing India a lot to maintain it there.
But after abrogation of article 370, it's no more the case. Maybe BJP is not a perfect government. But at least now Kashmir has a proper government. And people there know that they can rely on law and order.
But other than controversies, the movie is well directed and the performances are great!
Animal (2023)
Boring
Everyone told me that the action is great!
I watched the movie and I was just sitting waiting for the actions.
Actions may have been mounted to extra and bloody, but that movie is annoying.
It's plain boring. There's no story, just a stubborn guy who has a mental problem roaming around doing what he wants. And turns out that guy is the protagonist of the film.
It is so weird how people are celebrating such madness. Some people are actually laughing to nonsense jokes in the movie.
Turns out not all people like it. Tons of people hate the movie too.
Waste of time. Forget about whether things are toxic or not, the movie is pure boredomness.
Tiger 3 (2023)
Improved from Pathaan but still need improvement
This movie actually proves that they are really trying hard.
It's really nothing new. Nothing unexpected. Sometimes it even goes in a direction that builds up expectations for you but then you get disappointed.
It's like the villain is creating a big problem, but then he ends up not harming anyone. Or lots of action scenes are being cut, to another angle... you get to know that they are hiding mistakes or weaknesses in cinematography.
They are trying nice things to make it better, I am not saying they are doing nothing. And this is a good sign. But you can see Bollywood is still lagging behind. Especially in terms of storytelling.
You can see how they are taking Mission Impossible feel and mixed it with Indian story. You can see how they are trying to take cinematography from Hollywood and South India (ahem Lokesh Kanagaraj ahem).
Leo (2023)
8/10 on first watch, 10/10 om second
This movie is an average movie on first watch.
It starts with a strong foundation, but then seems rushed in the second half. It felt like I came with a lot of expectations and got disappointed.
There was a weak flash back and weak villain characters.
BUT THEN!!!
I watched it a second time. I found it things mentioned later connecting with things happened earlier! I found the reason behind every single shot of the film.
It is all pointing towards a bigger future of the Lokiverse!
Then you realise how good of director Lokesh is. He said things without saying them. And if you are someone who loves movies, pays attention to details and know Lokesh, you will be excited with all the previously found weak points.
Jawan (2023)
10 for a Bollywood movie 8 for a South Indian
This movie is Atlee's movie supported by Anirudh's background music!
It's massy, it's amazing! Especially for a Bollywood movie and for Shah Rukh Khan.
Pathaan was good, but this is better!
Especially the interval is just pure goosebumps!
To get to watch an actual Bollywood movie like this with all talents working hard to give good contents and not just repeated or copied works, is such a great feeling.
But for those who have watched South Indian films, would know that this is just another great movie.
There were plotholes and places where you have to just accept it without applying logic (and no, I am not talking of action scenes). I have seen better ones, especially if Atlee's. But this doesn't reduce the quality of this film.
Adipurush (2023)
They just don't learn
These people just don't learn that they need to really do some effort.
Effort in research of the good content. Effort in finding the fitting casts. Effort in finding directing & editing techniques. Effort in VFX.
This movie fails at every single field. Even after having nice background score, they are unable to place them properly.
The director wanted to make a Modern Ramayan. It was neither Ramayan, nor Modern.
It's an absolute disgrace! And a huge money swindling trick.
Save your money and have some patience for another better director to try doing it in a better way. We have talented people.
Kathal: A Jackfruit Mystery (2023)
Interesting take
The movie begins with a boring comedy but gradually unfolds into something interesting. Yet even the starting lart had a great meaning, which is brought again in the end of how Police have to focus on less important tasks than the actual ones.
It goes smoothly and slowly but there are some subtle messages that are given in the movie that seems a little too much.
For example, everyone raises issue on the kidnapped girl's character, the support is not balanced. It's only the main character who cares. And no one else is a good person.
Another example is that while the movie tries to show that girls or women are strong and intelligent, every boy or man in the movie is shown stupid and weak.
Another example, the movie shows like everyone has caste issues. This is not the new India. Years earlier and especially now, with a more socially aware population, while there maybe people who still uselessly care about these things, many don't.
Directors or writers must balance their views. Else people will keep insulting boys or saying that Hinduism is filled with discrimination, we will still accept in the name of social awareness.
Raksha Bandhan (2022)
It may not be a great story, but...
Raksha Bandhan is a movie you can watch at any time.
If you're just wanting some entertainment time or family time... That's the movie you can choose...
Not movie that you wait for and watch it right away, and then forget it...
It is a movie that has a rollercoaster of emotions... That stays with you...
Maybe it has the same vibes with any movie you may have watched in the past...
But when you watch it, it touches your heart...
Don't go expecting some new concept... Or extravaganza things...
But go expecting some good time with it!
It's a movie that celebrates love... Be it in family or with your life partner... And it has a great message!
Brahmastra Part One: Shiva (2022)
Great visuals, but...
If you want big music and extra ordinary visuals! This movie is for you!
I went in for content, and it was just okayish. At times, even boring in the first half.
It annoys me how difficult it is for big Bollywood producers to understand that big popular casts, music, visuals and promotion aren't what make a movie, but instead good story and more importantly, amazing storytelling abilities!
Wake up Bollywood! Now is the time!
Note: Don't praise advance booking as it's just result of good promotion, and not good movie.
1 star for the efforts put in making thise vfx realistic
1 star for the interesting idea of Astra
I just hope the 2nd part is better.
Vikram (2022)
Dear Hindi viewers...
This movie is a blockbuster! It must be made popular in the Hindi cinema also!
My rating of popular South Indian movies would be...
1. Baahubali
2. Vikram (Or Lokesh universe)
3. RRR
4. KGF
5. Pushpa
Lokesh is an amazing director! First times watched his movies, and I am impressed! The ways he shows the action scenes, the comedy included, and storyline... Simply awesome!
Heropanti 2 (2022)
If you praise nonsense, you'll get more nonsense
Don't watch it!
Else you'll make your own future dark!
Those movie people think that by putting fancy things in movies, the movie will be a hit even if it has no story, no acting and no reason to be existing.
Tenet (2020)
Not rated according to movie, but the effect it had on me
There are 2 types of people who didn't like the movie.
1. Those who didn't understand a thing.
2. Those who had high expectations form Nolan.
I went with 0 expectations and damn it was a great movie. Not up to the level of Nolan, but quite nicely directed.
Time inversion is difficult to grasp if you're not a deep thinker. And the most amazing part of the movie was me thinking in inverse after watching the movie!
And on top of that I watched it on 22.02.2022.
If you understand the movie the first time (without having any expectations) This is an awesome movie!
A Thursday (2022)
Very good... But could be better and more realistic
Here this movie is about realistic life... And being used to mostly realistic movies these days, I have forgotten a little the unrealistic paets of movies... Especially like this one...
A PM would never risk their lives for these demands... That was the most unrealistic thing other than there were many ways a single person could be defeated very easily in such a situation...
But quite good performance from each actor (that also could be better)
A gripping one time watch!
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
It's a movie for the fans!
This movie is filled with a lot of fans moments!
Even for memers!
Some say it's not enough... But personally for me, it was more than enough!
It was like being served the dessert you've been waiting for!
If you are a fan, just go and watch it! Don't wait for spoilers! But take sanitary precautions during this covid time!
Sooryavanshi (2021)
Great movie, but had more potential
The movie is an interesting one to watch, with a nice story... (Mostly because it's a remake)
But when you have such a big cast and you don't know what to do with so many people, you end up making it a mess.
Having such a huge cast, it could have been better. And lots of characters got shadowed, like Javed Jaffrey and the great police crew. It doesn't mean when your Super Stars are there, you neglect the other stars.
Neither the characters Singham and Simmba brought something interesting to the story (except great entries and action), nor other characters were given proper value at the end of the movie.
A total misuse of resources.
One time watch!
Dhamaka (2021)
Different from usual plots
In this movie you get to see a different story... And the director does a good job to hold you till the end!
That's the job of the director!
There were opportunities to make it better!
Kartik can do other roles than comedy!
Mimi (2021)
Pro Life - worth multiple watches!
This movie is outstanding in terms of acting and comedy timing!
Also filled with lots of emotions!
It's pro life addressing the fact that a baby in or out is still a life. And also addresses suicide to never be a way out!
Kriti is 1 of the best new generation actresses.
Pankaj Tripathi is the true king of Indian movies without a doubt!
Paying Guests (2009)
Absolutely Fantastic!
This is one of the most funny movies I have watched!
Stories like this have been existing in the past... But this one is well built!
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
That's more like DC
It was an amazingly fantastically awesome movie!
It was quite long, but it explained everything about all characters... And worth it all along!
It was and had to be dark as such! Each character has got their value. It was not like quick look to everything.
I personally I found that Joss Whedon did a decent job bringing this story to that one. That was a real difficult job to reduce 4 hours to 2 hours.
But final words.... Worth the hype!
Special OPS (2020)
Amazing everything with some small exception
Some unused characters and story loopholes were there.
But amazing performance by most actors, especially KK Menon and Vinay Pathak.
And most importantly... NEERAJ PANDEY's marvelous job! 😍
Dil Bechara (2020)
Heart touching!
A very unique love story.
Sushant is over the top!
Sanjana is an amazing actress! She is very talented.
A very nice story which was definitely not original, but well presented.
-1 star for director could have done better impact on the movie.
But +1 star again for the beautiful tribute to Sushant.
Loved it!
Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (2019)
Nice movie!
The storyline and direction is very nice. Shows personal struggle of being minority. Shows understanding.
But not a jaw dropping movie. A worth watching one. Just a good ordinary movie.
Mardaani 2 (2019)
Mind blowing villain!
Hats off to Vishal! He killed it! He is award worthy!
Nice direction that makes you stay gripped.
Good acting by Rani.
Nice social message on rape and torture.
Portraying all girls good and all man bad, not so good of an idea. It's becoming more and more popular.
Good to tackle social issues like rape, but don't blame all men and don't favour all women.
Yet movie is worth watching! 👍
Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan (2020)
Good but not that good
Had lots of supper funny scenes...
But had also boring scenes...
One time watch...
Good Newwz (2019)
Put on your seat belts!
I don't say this to all films, but I must say, it's the best movie I have watched lately.
It's full on entertainment. Lots of comedy! Just awesome movie! And very informative.
It's not a movie to be liked, but loved!
Fantastic job done by each character including the doctors. Big Up for Akshay, he is one of the finest comedian.
This movie deserves an award in a whole.
