Cuttputlli (2022)
A decent suspense, thriller and intense movie
Cuttputli is an intense thriller movie. This is a remake of Tamil movie Ratsasan, but since I haven't watch that movie, i don't care🤷. This is the first time when I saw Akshay Kumar in a suspense thriller movie. And he is literally killed in this role. Movie story is good and background score is quite good. During the whole movie, a strange fear (or curiousness) lives in our mind. This is a story of a serial killer who targets the teenage school girls and kills them with a pattern. Akshay Kumar is a cop and he begins to match this pattern of all killings. It is exciting to know how he do his job and solve this puzzle.
Rakul preet Singh is the actress in the movie. Although she didn't have such an important role in the movie but since it is Bollywood, a love angle is must😅. The role of Gurpreet guddi is of a constable but I think his role can be utilised more.
Overall, cuttputli has set the benchmark of thriller movies in Bollywood very high. If you like a suspense thriller movie with an intense feel, you can go for it.
Shamshera (2022)
Decent Movie with heavy VFX and good story
Here is the spoiler-free honest review of Shamshera. (Han wahi movie jo brahmastra se pahle aayi thi aur kisi ne dhyaan nhi diya). People say ki this movie was to remind Ranbir Kapoor to the audience. Ngl, but on the box office, it was a flop.
Shamshera is a story on castism in the pre-independence era. The story lies in the second half of 19th century, where a tribe called Khamera takes weapons and became dacoit because the so-called upper cast people refused to accept them after the migration. The leader of the tribe is Shamshera. The story revolves around the betrayal faced by Shamshera from Shuddh Singh (an upper cast Indian officer in the British army) to get freedom for his people.
It is a heavy VFX movie, although the VFX quality is quite good. People say that this is a copy of KGF or thugs of Hindostan, stay away from such people. It has its own unique and exciting story. You'll get proper action, climax, story, songs (not that good tbh), good acting, and a lot of drama. All these factors make this movie a perfect Bollywood pack.
The cons of this movie are that it progresses slowly. It is more than 2.5 hours and which can be shorter. The angle of a love story was not needed (but since it is Bollywood, a love story is a must 🤷). Also, we do not connect much with any character except shamshera.
Overall, it is a decent movie with a good and heavy VFX, and background music is also very good. I would recommend it to watch it in your free time.
Now the question is, why this movie was a flop on the box office? Maybe the reasons can be less promotion, early release on ott, average songs etc., whatever, but yes, it was a Bollywood gem.
Dasvi (2022)
Good Family entertainment pack full of comedy and humous
Don't know where to start but this movie is not just about humor, it also delivers a solid message to our society. The story revolves around a crooked yet witty politician Ganga Ram Chaudhary (Abhishek Bachchan), who is jailed under a tough superintendent Jyoti Deswal (Yami Gautam), and decides to spend his time studying for high school. It shows how he finds out the hard way that being good with people doesn't make you good with the syllabus of class 10th.
Dasvi is a proper family film which can be enjoyed with the whole family. Somewhere, you again go back to your memories of class 10th with Chaudhary Ji while preparing for the exam. Some serious issues like politics, right to education, and political vs education power are raised and shown in a comedy way. Some key features of the movie are:
1. The effortless comedy that genuinely brings laughter.
2. Script is filled with humourous dialogues and brilliant dialogue delivery in the Haryanvi accent makes them more effective.
3. All characters have managed to bring successful roles with proper character building.
4. Many hidden references to real-life events make the movie more entertaining and humorous.
Dasvi is not a masterpiece or once-in-a-lifetime type movie. The story is simple and somewhat predictable. You'll get entertainment with lots of laughter, emotion, and also a beautiful lesson.
Abhishek Bachchan as jaat leader is simply terrific. But Yami Gautam is the soul of the film and succeeds to steal the show. It brings out the best version of Yami Gautam.
Overall, it is worth giving 2 hours to this movie.😀
Campus Diaries (2022)
A well executed college rom-com drama series.
Honestly, when I got to know about this series, I expected it to be a low-budget average series. But after watching this, I felt completely different. It is beautifully written, well-directed, and produced. The dialogue deliveries of all characters were better than expected.
The story revolves around a small group of friends of an engineering college. That group covers all types of people in a college, like a nerd, a sexy and aggressive girl, a poltubaaz, a smoker, and a one-sided lover.
Although you can not relate it to a real-life engineering college, it seems to be among a few series to show college life in such a beautiful way. The series is well executed. Many aspects of college life are covered. Such as ragging, crushing on someone, relationships (toxic and healthy), exams, labs and internships, elections, foreign exchange students, club activities, weed-smoking on campus etc.
From the beginning of the series, it focuses on the development of all the characters so that the story can be seen from all perspectives, which is, in fact, a good decision for such a series. Even the series lets us connect with the characters with small roles like Priyanka (Saloni Gaur). I think we'll much more get to see the character of Priyanka in focus in the upcoming seasons(if any).
Overall, it is a good series with intriguing turnovers. For people below 30, and if you've time to watch all 12 episodes, you should definitely watch this.😉
Minnal Murali (2021)
A new (and good) experiment in Indian Superhero movies industry
Whenever we think about Indian superhero movies or serials, we find movies like Krishh, A flying jatt, Mr. India, Ra. One etc. These all are kids central because most of the audience of such films is Indian kids.
Today, Hollywood is ruling the Superhero genre like no other cinema industry globally, and a significant portion of youths like these movies. Minnal Murali is also for this kind of audience. It is not centered on the kids only. The story is about a character 'Jaison' who gets magical powers after getting shocked by lightning. The timeline of the movie is around the 90s. The director tried enough to connect the audience with every character of the film. Also, the storyline of the hero and the villain goes simultaneously so that the audience can feel both sides and connect with them emotionally. Overall, this movie has a clean storyline and neatly executed events with an outstanding VFX within a limited budget.
OK Computer (2021)
Don't come with great expectations
If you're thinking this of a sci-fi movie with great VFX, then you're not on the right movie. This movie is a crime cum comedy movie with a bit tadka of sci-fi. In the future, most of the work is now done by computer brains and they are handling most of the systems. Also, humans are now not that much intelligent and completely dependent on machines. This series shows how excessive technology can be harmful to mankind. The story is good, acting is also good, but sometimes, the story runs too slow and you may get bored. The quality of the scenes is not that good. It is the first of its kind in the Indian film industry. So, you should watch it without comparing it to the Hollywood industry.
Hasee Toh Phasee (2014)
A decent rom - com
Hasee Toh Phasee is a decent romance comedy movie with the adorable acting of Parineeti Chopra. It is available on Prime Video. The plot is simple and easy to guess yet there is good acting and chemistry in the movie. Although we do not find something new in this movie, yet some incidents and dialogue delivery can make you love the movie.
The story revolves around Siddarth Malhotra (Nikhil) who is about to marry his 7 years long girlfriend. 7 days before his marriage, he encounters Parineeti Chopra (Meeta), the younger sister of his girlfriend, and slowly falls in love with her. Meeta had an unpleasant history with her family so she left home years ago. But the craziness, innocence, and intelligence of Meeta are so adorable that some chemistry gets started between Nikhil and Meeta.
Overall, it is a decent movie with an average rom-com storyline and decent acting. This movie is a landmark performance of Parineeti. The character played by her is so cute that you just fall in love with her. You simply can not avoid that naughty cute smile.💜
The Space Between Us (2017)
More of a Drama and Romance movie
In my childhood, I have always dreamt of going to space and exploring stars and different plants. Not only me, but I guess everyone has thought about it in their childhood. This movie is all about that dream. I almost lost in that dream for 2 hours straight and lived the life of an 18 years old boy born on Mars and visited Earth for the first time. The movie's storyline is about a boy, Gardner Elliot, whose mother, Sarah Elliot, was an astronaut and died just after giving him birth on planet Mars. He spent all his childhood on Mars and visited Earth for the first time after 16 years. He experiences the wonders of Earth with his one and only human friend, Tulsa, whom he met online.
The movie gets emotionally connected with its sweet and romantic plot. The scenery is cute and beautiful. The direction of the film is as good as it can. It is neither too slow nor too fast. Also, it took proper time to build a connection with its characters. The movie is more of a Drama and Romance movie than a Sci-Fi. Many science facts are ignored as it is not a primarily Sci-Fi movie. Overall I enjoyed the film.
Panchayat (2020)
Mood boosting simple series
Panchayat is a simple, lightweight but a refreshing series with a perfect mood boosting story. The storyline revolves around an engineering graduate Abhishek, who joins as a secretary of a Panchayat office in a rural village of Uttar Pradesh. The life of Abhishek experiences the culture and the conservative people of the Fullera village where he faces many things and explore the life out of the cities.
The casting and the way of expressing emotions are great in this series. The story is just simple but the dialogue delivery and their facial expressions are such good that you soon start to find chhoti chhoti khushiyaan in their simple lives.
Also, I would like to suggest that such type of series are not for binge watch. Just watch one episode everyday and you'll enjoy is fully.
Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! (2015)
A Nice detective mystery movie
The movie is based on a fictional character Byomkesh Bakshi an Indian-Bengali detective. Detective Byomkesh Bakshy is a well-scripted story with a lot of twists and thrillers. The film seems a bit slow sometimes, but overall it will let you stick with your seats.
Storywise, the movie is excellent. I appreciate the efforts Dibakar Banerjee put in the making of such a thriller movie. We can't figure out who is the real culprit until the ending. The suspense it shows is impressive. The conspiracy starts with the disappearance of a chemist and ends with a series of new and unfolded conspiracies. Overall, it is a good suspense thriller Bollywood movie.
The acting and the direction are pretty well. The locations and the scenes they showed in the movie are pretty perfect in such a way that you'll find yourself in Culcutta of 1942 within minutes of the starting of the movie. The acting of Sushant Singh Rajput is excellent. I wish he were alive today; we could see the sequel of the film.
Overall, it's a good suspense thriller movie.
14 Phere (2021)
A perfect family pack with good comedy.
The story is simple yet unique. A live-in couple decides to tie the knot but their conservative parents won't agree to this inter-caste marriage. So, They hire two theatre actors to act for the parents of the groom as well as the bride and so the couple get married twice.
Indeed this is a worth watch movie. I loved the acting of all the characters and the way they show the Rajasthani accent, and the nature of the Jat and Rajput families is pretty good.
The acting of most of the casts is good, and all actors have an extraordinary impact on all characters. Even small appearances of Jameel Khan bring a heavy influence in the scene. Vikrant did a good job in acting but can't say perfect. The acting of Kriti (Aditi) is excellent. Even the way she talks and her talking attitude is also quite well and fits with the Marwadi accent.
If we talk about the story, it seems predictable from the beginning. Still, the extra masala they put with scenes like the meeting of Aditi's brother with the fake mother had a significant effect on the movie. If you are expecting a fantastic or realistic storyline with many twists, then this is not for you. But if you are looking for a mood freshener movie with comedy and good acting, this is definitely for you.
Mimi (2021)
A perfect family pack
Mimi is a good comedy-drama movie full of entertainment, positivity, and emotions as well. It starts with showing a foreign couple who visit India to find a cheap surrogate. Mimi (Kriti Sanon) accepts the offer for a certain amount of money in order to make her career in acting by going to Mumbai. Later, the couple decides they don't want the child and abandon Mimi when she's pregnant. And then, this story takes too many turns in Mimi's life. The story is full of comedy as well as emotions. Pankaj Tripathi did a brilliant job in this movie. Kriti Sanon also worked hard and showed her talent.
The movie shows a middle-class girl's dreams and her will to fulfill them at any cost. Bhanu (aka Pankaj Tripathi), a cab driver, always be with Mimi even during her worst situation, and even his small glimpses impact the movie. The role of Mimi's mother was also too much impressive. She showed the norms of the society by her acting, and also, the emotions for her daughter were quite sensible. Overall, the movie makes sense in all aspects.
Cast is great
Songs are great
Story is great
Dialogues are great
Acting skills of all actors are great
Social Message is present
Comedy of humour is present
Family movie: Yes
Now, what do you waiting for? This movie will not let you feel bored at any moment of the story.
Haseen Dillruba (2021)
A good movie for your weekend.
Haseen Dillruba is a simple crime mystery movie, but the whole cast's acting dramatically impacts the entire storyline.
The movie's first scene creates tremendous suspense for the audience. During the whole film, the audience keeps trying to find the murderer.
The story goes smoothly, and some funny scenes are created in the first quarter. Also, some scenes of the movie show the ground reality of middle-class families, like Rishu's mother, who roams around to check the Ladkiwalon ka Ghar with an excuse to go to the bathroom or Rani's mausi advising her to flaunt her cleavage to seduce Rishu, etc.
Meanwhile, the story seems a bit slow during the mid of the movie. The story is different from the perspective of every character in the film. If we look at the aspect of every character, the story and the murderer seem different. Taapsee did a great job in acting. Her expressions are unique and according to the situation. Vikrant's acting is also rare. Even his small appearance makes a significant difference in the story. The way he smiles during the sharp turns of the story is killing.
A fictional character named Dinesh Pandit plays his role in the background without even coming on the screen. The dialogues are pretty impressive.
But the bad thing is some explicit scenes of the movie. These scenes remove this movie from the family movie category. Well, only suggestion for this movie is to not watch it with your family.
Bodyguard (2011)
Want to feel the old bollywood? Just go for it.
If you are looking for a realistic storyline or movie with good dialogues, I will not recommend this movie. But if you want to see Salman Khan with an old classical Bollywood story, It might be a good choice for you. Some scenes are mood booster.
Also, it is a bit mixture of comedy with action. So not a wrong choice if you are unhappy and looking for a mood booster movie. I felt refreshed with a good smile after watching this.
Ludo (2020)
Ignore the 1 star reviews and just go for it.
I really appreciate Anurag Basu to create a movie full of different shades of lives and relationships. The way LUDO uses colors to represent various aspects of life is beyond imagination. The whole movie runs among 4 different stories, color-coded according to their shade of emotions. All stories are different but linked. Just like each ludo board house is represented by a different color, but collide in their own journey.
The movie begins with the story of Aditya Roy Kapoor and Sanya Malhotra as Akash and Shruti. The Yellow House represents their story associated with creativity, happiness, and living a life full of joy.
Whereas the Red House shows the story of Abhishek Bachchan as Bittu and Mini. Red color represents the compatibility of Love and Anger. The father-like relationship between Bittu and Mini depicts the fact of the co-existence of two opposite characteristics. Bittu is angry with his current life, but he finds happiness with Mini. We can feel the love of a father for a child.
The Blue colored world, where we find an interesting and complicated life story of two persons, Sheeja and Rahul. The way they began to love each other without even communicating properly. Also, we see many more similarities in this couple as both were oppressed by various factors in their life. Here blue color represents the purity and reliability between them even though they don't share a common language.
In the fourth timeline, our favorite Rajkumar Rao won everyone's heart. He does everything for his crush, who is already married. Despite knowing that he has no chance with her, he helps Pinky in every situation in this Green shaded universe. His love for Pinky and the steps of getting ruined in love represents a green-colored world with envy and the craze for his love.
Finally, our loved Pankaj Tripathi, aka Sattu. The dice of the game, and the decision-maker of each story. His Qismat ki Hawa turns Kabhi up, Kabhi down, but every up and down in his life affects all four timelines.
Overall, all stories individually were also great, but LUDO turns into an excellent watch when all timelines come together. The movie perfectly defines the ludo game. The complexity of the movie shows the amazing writing and direction of the movie.
Also, Thank you to the LUDO movie to bring back the track Ooo Beta Ji in our lives in its original form.
Aspirants (2021)
Amazing series and a good watch for Indian Youth
TVF's Aspirants is an amazing series by Aproov Singh Kalki who himself once was a UPSC aspirants. That's the reason this series is so practical and full of emotions, hard work, friendship and dedication. TVF doesn't simply show a normal story that the lead character cracks the UPSC but They show sometimes it goes in a way we never think. Also, they showed the struggle of selecting an optional subject for a CSE student. TVF is not just a company, TVF is an emotion.
Most of the TVF series are based on the Indian youth, that's why they made Aspirants, Pitchers, Cubicles, Kota Factory and many more.
Jab We Met (2007)
Just Simple and Lovely
The movie is no more different from 2000s bollywood. If you love to see Shahid and Kareena together, then this movie is for you. A great impractical but refreshing love story with evergreen songs. The way it is shown that how 2 people meet in the train and many incidents happen with them in such a way that they fall in love to each other. A man who is depressed from his love and business life is about to commit suicide but apparently meets a talkative punjabi girl and he learnt from her behaviour which changes her life.
The songs are incredible. The softness by Mohit Chauhan, Shreya Ghoshal and Sonu Nigam and a bit mixture of Punjabi tadka of Mika Singh makes these songs extremely beautiful. A damn good choreography in song Mauja Hi Mauja.
Kareena's acting is fantastic. The storyline is also good but predictable. Overall a good movie with great 2000s songs. Loved the movie and its songs.
TVF Pitchers (2015)
A side hakte refresh content
One of the finest series TVF ever produced. The way TVF shows how entrepreneurs from the streets of Mumbai born. I watched many series on entrepreneurs but this series gives a realistic impact on us. It shows the practicality behind every startup.
The struggle of 4 boys who left their jobs for their startup idea shows the dedication for their startup. The notable thing of this series it that all characters are with a job experience (not freshers). Naveen has worked as an executive manager, Jitu was a coder, Yogi had worked as operational incharge and Abhay had experience of consultant marketing. It truly indicates that for a successful startup, you first need to work in that field and gain experience.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013)
Great Modern Bollywood Drama
If you are in bad mood or worried about future or overthinking, this movie is a perfect mood booster for you. You will find best dialogues, romance, dance, songs, dedication and the true friendship of modern era in the form of Karan Johar productions.
But the ending was not of Karan Johar types. The dialogue 'Jitna bhi try krlo bunny, life mein kuch na kuch toh chhootega hi" fits better on the ending of this movie as well. The ending could be like this:
"Aditi is getting married. Bunny and Naina smile at each other. Naina says him a sweet sa goodbye. Bunny's phone rings in a minute and he's off with his backpack. To a new destination while "Illahi" song plays in background. Avi got some investors and finally able to save his bar. Naina and Bunny both are happy they chose their life which is free from any boundaries."
