Gangubai Kathiawadi (2022)
Great everything- but predictable
Fabulous acting, most of the negative reviews are hating because of Alia Bhatt and connection to nepotism also the overall message. I can see why many may not like it but hear me out.
All the side actors are great and cameo actors are also great in this.
The technical side is also great like the cinematography, direction, music,etc.
The movie does glorify the main character that's true but what biopic doesn't?, it's a U/A movie created for a wide audience. Yes it's pro legalising sex workers and their rights also tries to justify prostitution, the trailer explains that, so what were people opposed to the message expecting before seeing it.
I understand people may disagree with the message of the movie and whitewash of the characters.
I myself wanted a more realistic and bit more unpredictable movie.
I can see someone giving the movie 5 or 6 on the basis of the message and refusing to spend on it, but it's great as a movie.
Fa yeung nin wah (2000)
Too much subtlety
I understand this is a classic, and from a technical point of view and acting point of view. The camera work is some of the greatest I have seen. There are tons of reviews highlighting positives and I agree with some of them.
The screenplay is just too slow paced and subtle for a 99 min movie I felt every minute of it. I have seen Irishman and other longer movies it didn't feel this slow to me.
In the first 20-30 min of the movie we get to know the main plot point and then most of the movie is just them glancing and pondering over either looking at each other or objects lying nearby.
The idea is to not show what the leads are feeling but it was too too subtle and hidden to the point it looked unnatural in certain moments that characters with such deep attraction would remain perfectly neutral and not even by mistake make a gesture or expression that shows their inside.
The side characters are also nothing special, nothing memorable about them or the side actors performances.
Overall it's a good movie but I don't think it belongs in such high rating ,with all due respect.
I might change my rating later if I view it again.
Captain Marvel (2019)
Good story falls flat due to screen play and plot holes
The plot of the movie is good I will give credit where its due,the screen play is very boring even though the movie is under 2 hours still it feels very stretched out except for some good moments thrown in.The cgi is good but action is not great except for the train fight sequence seen in the trailers.The music is forgettable at best.The last 30 minutes are good other than that I am confident to say you wont remember the whole movie theres nothing great leading up.Off course the post credits are good.Stan Lee cameo ya not the best one.
So this is as far as I can say without giving spoilers.MCU rank definitelty close to Thor dark world.
Glass (2019)
BELOW EXPECTATION REALLY
Acting-;it was perfect James Mcavoy nailed it,Bruce Wills,Samuel Jackson,everyone else perfect.
Plot-super boring and thin plot,get the idea they were going for but it was a huge wasted opportunity if you have seen the predecessors than youll know justice hasnt been done
Screenplay-boring af with some great stuff thrown in like crumbs
Technical-superb every thing is high production value no doubt
Gully Boy (2019)
good
Acting-great performances very grounded in reality,Ranveer and Alia were great,the supporting cast was great and believable
Plot-Enjoyable plot with great dialogues,I myself am not into the latest music scene but you can understand clearly the way struggle is potrayed.For me the love story was an addition not a necessity if you watch Gully boy again sometime youll notice you can skip all the parts and the entire subplot between Ranveer and Alia and even the little fight where Alia knocks out Kalki you will notice the rest of the movie is still a good movie and it will be a different experience.
Screenplay-Heres a dilemna the screen play was very unique because heres how the movie progressed 5 min-character is having a blast,enjoying next 5 min-character is knocked out by a bad situation and is rethinking his entire life then repeat happy-sad-happy-sad-happy-sad......
Now I dont know if I would enjoy the movie more or less if the screen play was any different because at some moments I enjoyed it immensely but at some points I felt is this back and front swinging necessary cant you just go linearly like a normal person where you have first 30 minutes of sad and then next 30
minutes or hour of happy and right before interval 10 minutes of sad and so on.
The ending montage was great it gives you a good feeling but still some anbiguity, because he has achieved something of value,we dont know if he will continue to grow in his career,get to marry Safeena once she becomes a doctor,will his music remain popular and continue to inspire,will his father reconcile with them,etc.
Technically the movie was brilliant no doubt the sets,locations,costumes,camera work,music in songs ,background music,sound quality,lighting,colors,etc all were great
Total Dhamaal (2019)
Better than expected
The movie delivers what you see in the trailers its funny but not as funny as its predecessors.I think one can still enjoy it but its nothing new or work of art.
The actors did a good job since it was more of a situational comedy but I would rate this movie higher if they would have allowed the actors to perform to full extent instead of forcefully giving Anil Kapoor a Gujraati accent, Madhuri a Marathi,Ritesh Deshmukh a UP and Johnny lever a Bengali accent.There was no need for this at all.Ajay Devgan,Arshad Warsi and JJ were great because their performance wasnt limited by accent so it looked more natural when they were reacting to a situation or conversing.
Lets talk about plot there wasnt one,screenplay was great there were no dull moments it was one event after another happening correctly.
In the past we have seen lots of sexist or racist jokes but another thing good about this movie is they have avoided that most of the jokes are about the situation strictly and they avoided that route of cheap laughs.
CGI was terrible in this day and age Indra Kumar couldve just used practical effects at a low cost instead of those cheap looking graphics like he used previously for Dhamaal and other movies.
Viswasam (2019)
Solid commercial flick which still manages to be unconventional
This movie is a good entertainer the first half is a very standard affair,entertaining still but second half is where you recieve your moneys worth.The movie has a message which is delievered precisely instead of the general preachy tone you see in commercial movies.
