Thrilling missing suspense kept till end routine tech
17 March 2023
Start of film very fast action packed till MFreeman cannot save his femalepartner Cop undercover in some police operations. Now a school where all VIP students are studying few with High level escort and securities. A girl is abducted by one of goons who was there as a regular popular teacher already.

Kidnapped girl shows a lot of smartness but in vain. Complexities intensifies. One female guard is showing a good follow ups but they cannot catch the kidnapper. MF receives call from kidnapper and negotiation takes of for something new with avg understandable turns. Few innocents loose lives and motives techs, scene reviewing cctv footage...avg thrill and suspense dragged till end.

8 Mothers adjusting new culture good bad ö ugly
17 March 2023
Fine script ask any one issues good bad or ugly list them, decide in 3 proportions equally link humors to it get good script good actors and go to make this movie. Son goes gay, other too shy and cannot handle reality, third is macho handsome but in choices has gone like a play boy... 3 Mothers on other hand divorcee but reeling in past honor, over caring , widow. Film has good numbers of blending all these caring lethargy in reacting to Mothers Day too! Blunt but typically Mothers Love is evident every where in spite of new generation controversial Fonda's. Gay can donate sperm and be Biological father for sack of parenthood. Still real Grand Mothers right to be Grand Mother status and joy in jeoperdy! Enjoy the very serious subject explored here with comedy some wonderful one liners. Many such moments. Enjoy fully.

7See reality NRI UK, little -ve so reviews misleading
15 March 2023
Web scam Matrmonials victim Sonia Rathi struggles to get firm in London. Harshvardhan (Telugu) is having mom and ants and inherited Hotel. They meet in adverse situation and the love story displayed. Use of Melodrama aunts pressures and comics are enjoyable. So is Gay Phenomena, scam to marry in eyes of elders for fake marriage, irritable family atmosphere and their hypocracy exploited with comedy and love too! No known big star many NRI now so their culture is shown with commanding authority. Story does have some Melodrama every where with light touch of humour, reality. For hero they have eye wetting memories we'll exploited. Such a brat is in real totality manages this family culture. Characters are deliberately chosen of all possible combine so communal Angle doesn't appear at all. Those who didn't like I object their very low ratings. Are we for SK,KJ s kind expansive marketable fairytales only? Check those peoples rating on Masala Films, will uncover their Bias.

Teenager lovwstory failures crime
15 March 2023
Western non family living in happy upbringing levish children up bringing, failures in sentries incline to go for even Crime! To the level of black mailing, threatening, scoops, gossips, poisoning abandoning even GUN used. Its nothing new but the young fresh teenagers role casting and masterly handled screen play carries the film. Expected end and out come lessons with yet the urge element remains not taking film too far. Very good photography, lovely intemacy typical teenage Fonda's filled with care also taken not to over do. Why Police, Teachers, Adults , Parents are shown cosmetically active only.

A true crime drama hyped by critics
15 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
As the heroine work is at Oscars the overall media coverage hyped this film. Its OK but in police files couple of murders are covering 29! Serial killings. Police investigations are not this low competent in any country, this is US ! Here the liberty and human rights thing hampers the crime busting process. Super efforts using all techno still Police strength struggle to put points straight. Hospital atmosphere is good. Including administrative wings affected by corporates and mgmt guys rather than Medical Experts. This is 2003 its now twenty years more and we are loosing the Medical perspective and crime like adultering transperant IV fluids in basic Insulin and ditalis mid use erupted out. US has the highest standards of Medical Safety so its an isolated incident twisted media trial film made out at low key.

7GH man or MFreeman its a well caught tie acting
15 March 2023
When one has this level of starcast just go for movie! Surely a tough strategic battle between police and lawyer in a murder case with in usual likely twist turns friendship, jealousy, feidality, longer lasting marriage social status even Mäyor intervenes for city sake and reputation the accused and defending GH did in film. To show young rush in interrogation a Jr police is also there! Of course charming heroine has something to add. With un expected new twisting end one is not delighted but feels a draw match seen feelings. Mannerism of all are very convincingly acted with tit for tat tech writings. Have seen long back but enjoyed re seeing after a long interval of decades.

Predictions don't do to this movie
14 March 2023
Crime story by a Police Father as unsolved case and his mounting suspicions with many twists - turns though known human weaknesses and wises explored. Couple if remain to get her in even bilateral crime experience give lot of loopholes in investigations. Morally we may not agree any thing that favors crime but loop holes the mind set finds is amazing. This film is amongst top 50 thrillers Netflix gave us and people liked. Gore,Sex, Betrayal, family bonds, son sick, sabotage all explored with superbly carved out direction editing screen play music all ingredients justified. Commenting on end result may dilute the suspense thrill but Modern Juris Prudence is almost impossible to overcome.

The Gone Game (2020–2022)
6/10
lock down scenario exploited
13 March 2023
Its a routine crime thriller. Why sanj kapoor is given minimum role.

Its a continuation from gone game 1 ? Or direct 3 coming or like Bahubali 2nd is first shown? Idea is to give a long confusing , extending the story... using the CORONA PERIOD its quarantine and let go attitudes No travel, No where to move, Family Tensions , Rich father in law to be exploited. E media can always be traced. But by amature in Swetas role is difficult to digest. Some moments real tense. Rehana Sanju did bare minimum. Shria pilgaokar Sachin Supriya daughter was impressive. Directer has kept the CORONA alive with mask even during interrogations. Their major aim seems to be going for extensions very obvious.

Crow flies Turkish 2 of 8 episode could have been avoided
11 March 2023
A young journalism studying aspirant young lady uses her internet mgmt soc media handling very well to make in roads in current high rating news media and is after the key news reader.

We are well informed by story about how to go to top. But rarely a struggle to survive that peak it really takes real metal to work. Scandles, infeidality, work pressures colleagues ambitious friends double standards all shown some times the negative main girls advances are difficult to accept. They could have avoided the gore completely making it in a dream sequence. But still enjoyed the insistment for real truth and how the experience is more powerful than small battles illogical achievements. True wizards will be popular permenantly. Short ugly method of reaching high is worth nothing.

Good comments may spoil possible hidden GEMS
7 March 2023
Gujarati cinema can take pride of the highest possible appreciation Title, Trophy or Awards !

A fantastic story that begins with routine annual Medical check ups. Travels the wonderful nature with all dignified Darshanam concepts. Chemistry further deeply touches father son and a female co traveler to some joyfulcrescendo... Even re vealing good comments can jeoperdise the ultimate goal of the movie. Acting, depth in subject, dialogues, funny moments, female part not only cosmetic but Essential (?) .Very tactfully handled lighter moments. Idea of the story, its screen play, act direct all OPTIMUM ! I was stunned in a seat of cinema for those moments !!!!!

Motherhood idol hit
7 March 2023
Its a gripping suspense thrill generating film. As stunts are for girl having diabetes, asthma, cardiac, para plegic below hips. She is put under isolation by Mother! She has all the controlled freedom in her home school atmosphere. Mother taking this liberty so as to perform her motherhood love duty but with tight scrutiny, security jail like freedom at home kind! Takes her out also for movie viewing but under her control! This is up to psychological pussation madness! Now her every attempt to communicate the world or breaking this family prison generates thrills, what next and multiple twists. Last of the twist is cherry on cake! Superbly acted, directed. Electronic, landline,internet Fonda are explored. We are now well accustomed to all these so familiarized tricks easy to explore.

Eng dubbed as Perfact Family
7 March 2023
We have a high class aristocratic errogant rich family. Son goes little downwards selects loweriddle class family girl but more liberal, independent, lousy as well.

For a gala wedding mother first tries to postponed the date but by liberal always ready to please attitude of girl's father, this classy lady succumbs! She even falls for sons father in law. Shame shame every where but she is firm. She feels she gave up her womanhood in house keeping and family duties raising kids. She lost more then a family gain, she still is ready to perform and not to run away and doing all these without apologizing As she has did nothing wrong. On other hand daughters mother is also stuburned one refuses pardon to husband and melodrama has all funny laughable dialogues and situations we have seen many in other scripts. Family drama is dependent on this basic plots formulae but the atuburnness of both mother's actions put the males on edge still everything is finished in a smiling group family photo!

Gujarati Cinema Enters new Gene
19 February 2023
Recently Guj Cinema has given various thought provoking films and some socially bold attempts also. Mr. K Y enters Suspense, Thrill, Abanded kidnap kind, drug induced hypnotism on wrong path and GORE zone. He did splendid things just after interval some lengthy slow screen play takes time in re gripping but still he has some thing more in store so rightly bounces back. Modern Gujarati family with their choices rightly ecohes the culture. We have Hiten Kumar a new Villan terrific role, wel done. With Hitu K as father. Do not get confused by name similarity. They performed very well to get tied honors. Janki Bodiwala though bare - minimum dialogues but very high level acting wise in all facets of the wonderful main character. Mother o k. It's a Gujarati Movie most likely to be dubbed in many languages including English! Just get going for this film before routine after talks may dilute the suspense thrill.

2022 ALL Failures of Starters Film making with tender story 8 episodes
18 February 2023
First thing one should do is deleting Mahesh Bhatts personal Hyped gossips about deliberately linking with his private life.

Judging independently its a natural sad cannot hide cannot boom aspects of life. Do see a look like depika padukone in Amla Paul its mere co incidence . Neither copying and both actresses are famous even without it.

Its in eight one hour slots.. We have seen struggling actors, initial melodramatic stories, couple relationships, personal and religious choices. Public perceptions and silent pressures. It has romantic moments, Professional jealousy, Plots- Counter plots to suffocate the film in opening days reactions but still how it is done is portrayed. Amazed by A Paul's superbly performed psychiatrically broken down arrogant actress role. With wife.s role played by Apuri and Z Vahab mother who has to hide her identity and helping sons dream.

Fun is there as the Daku brings a Green Flag in stead of Red to stop the train !!!. But the hero has already pulled chain to stop the train. Train is robbed with all theatrical moves of dances postures positions... Now the girl is a Doctor too !! She forecasts the chief of Daku is gone have a Heart Attack !! Looking to the sweating signs !! Chief Faints and the first AID box is having a portable Defibrillator !!! You are given 7 Peg kick in 30 mins. Now every story must end with a UPDESH ... so knowing future is not worthy is classically demonstrated.!!!! VB has worked in DOOR Darshan and he pays back in his whimsy classy short adventures film. You will enjoy even more if it is with drinks. I said 7 peg kick like. It had to be an absurd but three cheers to the photography, thats why VB chooses it to be belle and not full length film !!!! One should be thankful for that + -; Only iPhone mobile can used ... This makes one of the best advertised campaign! Amazing work out put at such a profe#ional stage taking all dimensions !!

China study a lot in family story
15 February 2023
A chinese guy family study cycle starts with father helping then cutting of the money if only levishly spent by children for their own good.

Business for family uplift and not for any personal archive zest! So now it's pro genies turn not as payback but the responsibility goals again for the family!! Very good social theories, incident blended with funny but truth p reveals. The father lives aristocrat life and takes full advantage of social system and personal at tensions!!! 2 WIves, still some arrangements but overall deep down good at heart. Heroine first has to succumb the father pressure goes China, takes part in designs toys her suggested colors, are liked and the order goes up! Then as some unhygienic clothe used rejection caused cancellations. This up down a d one more silver lining cloud happens Sisters rivulry family tensions in Chinese culture modified by US. All knitted very well. Such a commerce family culture mixie lessons to learn. Do not miss this. Entertainment with comedy witty, touchy and an honest approach wins our views.

E mail text and Next mobile evolution blended with love stories and youngs
9 February 2023
It's a successful soap opera running with as usual deviation after some very good Initial episodes The story should have cut at hero coming back from Tibet !

Now name the pressure mounting days of what's app, yahoo, Hotmail fox mail, Google and we chat earlier days. All mixed with taking a break how recent Mobile Industry grew. A flight to enjoy due to fantastic scenery of Tibet Himalayas, culture exposures rich vs struggle love, expectation commitment all superbly mixed created represented acted, dubbed with english superbly. I have gone to Tibet Lhasa and for me it was a great nostalgic affectionate rememberance.

As Shoaps usually keep you on edge and then drift a lot may regain the line or loose... Don't miss to try out initials happy viewing.

ABHAY hindi dubbed Double role exploited with high tech visualsstunts
4 February 2023
What KH cannot do?

Legend of South has one more to amaze us. I have seen hindi version where songs lyrics understandably cannot match the desired thrust.

We have seen double roles good Bad theories justification of why bad all the Masala mixed well. Technically crafting the look of Abhay+mannerism.

Míxing with Comics of children, Halusination its double interactive live shots treat to watch. Visuals so in imaginations done with VHS, vision mixing, editing superbly keeps the thrill in good KH and Ravina are chased by bad KH and the cat mouse game treat keeps one on edge. As we know all these is fantasy but wel-portayed. Manisha Koiral small role adds the treat.

Wotch I. Stereophonic big screen will be better.

Comedy tried silly way but still ok
22 January 2023
Viki Kaushal is married to Bhumi Ph. Now has new girl friend KiaraA. Bhumi says never mind give me 2 crore as compensation for divorce.. There is a bungalow old one in city like bbay to bait for but inheritance property is in jinxed as his father had 2 wives one regular and other from job colleague!

Bungalow to whom? Who married first? Lot of complicated issues are involved here to cook the comedy. All done with really good smart act direction and wit.

In comedy architect we know changing role, confusion, police comic involvement. Shuttling husband and lover, funny stupidity, weight of tempo kept alive with element of surprise Fun. Some are smartly revealed with flare of laughters. No complain a good time pass.

Dear Comrade (2019)
7/10
nice in start overdone loud ending melodrama
22 January 2023
Typical leadership qualities in Hero is shown with the group. Then a wonderful chemistry between Vijay Deverkonda and Rashmika Mandan is on screen. Here Rashmika is teasing VD!!!

Her elder sister was liked by VD and the crush failed to process further but RM takes all possible advantage and when they are alone stops advancing physically VD saying "You have given me memorable treat Pl do not spoil" hero let's her go for Cricketing career.

Later realizes his love and RM has left Cricket as near victim for casting couch and family also taking no support to her .. This puts her in depression for which now the Hero is fighting hard like Comrade.... Melodrama talks, scenes, commeettee investigations... But in doing so story telling grip is lost and is over done.

Still VD:RM Chemistry very much impressive.
