Nanna Prakara (2019)
Amateur screenplay & storyline
2 stars are for the decent direction of the flick. The storyline is all based on conjecture than being a thriller. It's more an amateurish attempt at creating a thriller. Could have done much better. The plot shows that the writer and crews have been dedicated with a passion but they all come up short thanks to the loose storyline.
Too much cooinidence in the plot, it's like desperate attempt at writing a thriller more out of a dream than a real plot. Investigation isn't a word that can be used here as it's all conjecture, leave alone nothing here will ever hold up in court even on circumstantial grounds (and I am not talking of real life courts but bolly/tollywood style courts in the flicks)
The Strangers: Prey at Night (2018)
I'd give 1/4th star if it were possible
It's a waste of words to write about anything. While the direction is decent, the screenplay is yewww pathetic - this could have turned out such a good watch but instead of making the movie gripping, they wound up making it so loose.
Most of the scenes could have been better off ending quickly.
For example: It's ludicrous that the girl doesn't see the perp coming over behind the deputy in an open ground with the cruiser's headlamps shining full on ....
Scene where mother saves her daughter, instead of standing barking orders to her daughter to run away with her back showing to the perp instead of atleast trying to fight even though she was well beyond immediate reach of the perp.
Lapwa Chhapwi (1990)
Hilariously tickling comedy
8 and not 10 stars cause there are a few edit gaffes (such as Dilip Prabhavalkar shaving off his moustache as Shobha Malini is to come along to reside next door and in the next shot he's sporting a moustache). Remake or not, not just the entire storyline is a riot but the actors have performed so beautifully immersed in their roles. Worth the almost 3 hours of watching time - takes your mind off other things. Minus the couple of edit gaffes, this is a 10 star rating.
The Flash (2014)
Super Hero turned Soap Opera
Been reading up DC since I was a kid and one advantage of COVID lockdowns is I get to binge watch a lot of series with my favourite characters, FLASH being one of them. Started out pretty good but eventually seems the producers went out of focus converting it into a romantic soap opera of sorts where everything revolved around the 'love and goodness' of Barry Allen & Iris. Even the 5 stars I've awarded is purely cause it's Flash. Especially the last 3 seasons were unbearable!
