Hanu Man (2024)
Entertainment with good elements of Cinema
I watched the film on the first day of its release and I was blown away by the visual spectacle and the action sequences. The film has some stunning scenes of Hanumanthu flying, fighting and performing miracles. The CGI and the VFX are top-notch and create a realistic and immersive experience. The film also has a rich production design and a vibrant color palette that capture the essence of the village and the mythology.
The film is not just a mindless entertainer, but also has a strong emotional core and a message. The film shows how Hanumanthu's faith in Hanuman and his devotion to his sister Anjamma and his girlfriend Meenakshi motivate him to overcome his fears and challenges. The film also portrays the bond between Hanumanthu and his monkey friend Koti.
The film has some brilliant performances by the cast. Teja Sajja is impressive as Hanumanthu and carries the film on his shoulders. He shows a range of emotions and expressions and makes us root for his character. He also does justice to the action scenes and the stunts. Amritha Aiyer is charming as Meenakshi and shares a good chemistry with Teja. Varalaxmi Sarathkumar is powerful as Anjamma and delivers some impactful dialogues. Vinay Rai is menacing as Michael and makes a worthy antagonist. Raj Deepak Shetty is convincing as the village chief Gajapathi and Vennela Kishore is hilarious as Siri Vennela, Michael's assistant.
The film is written and directed by Prasanth Varma, who proves his mettle as a visionary filmmaker. He has crafted a unique and original film that blends mythology and modernity, tradition and technology, fantasy and reality. He has also created a cinematic universe that has the potential to expand and explore more stories and characters. He has handled the film with skill and flair and has given a new dimension to the superhero genre in Indian cinema.
The film is not flawless, however. The film has a long runtime of 158 minutes and could have been trimmed by 15-20 minutes. The film also has some clichés and predictable twists that dilute the impact of the film. The film also faced some controversy as it was leaked online in HD for free download within hours after its theatrical release. The piracy mafia affected the box office collections of the film and the makers urged the audience to watch the film in theatres only.
Overall, Hanu Man is a must-watch film for all the fans of superhero films and mythology. It is a film that entertains, inspires and educates. It is a film that celebrates the power of faith, devotion and courage. It is a film that introduces a new superhero to the Indian audience. It is a film that sets the stage for the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe.
Hu Ane Tu (2023)
Family Entertainment
This is the beauty of Gujarati Drama actors. They have timing to hit the punch. Siddharth Randeria, as always, is the central stage of the movie. However, Parikshit Tamaliya also supported him equally. The other co actors did their part well too. Madhuben did her best too.
There are some slow parts in the movie which may feel boring. Music and songs are good too. Ruthi Gaya Sapna was my favorite.
The overall message in the movie is good.
Mistakes or what could've been better:
** What I didn't like was about not utilizing Sunil Vishrani's talent. He didn't get much space to make you laugh.
** Editor made very visible mistakes. An actor goes to funeral by car but in return she takes rickshaw. There many such errors.
Fall (2022)
Last episode ruined it
Review Web Series The Fall
Aksharam Aham
Write a long review for a web series " fall" Indian stating that last episode ruined it
3 / 3
I recently watched the web series "Fall" on an Indian streaming platform and, overall, I was really enjoying it. The plot was intriguing, the acting was solid, and the production value was high. However, the final episode completely ruined it for me.
Firstly, the ending felt rushed and forced. It felt like the writers were trying to wrap up all the loose ends in a hurry, and as a result, the plot became convoluted and confusing. I was left with so many questions and plot holes that it completely took me out of the story.
Secondly, the final episode seemed to completely disregard the character development that had taken place throughout the series. Characters who had previously been depicted as complex and nuanced suddenly became one-dimensional and acted completely out of character. This was especially disappointing because I had grown attached to these characters and their arc throughout the series.
Finally, the ending was just plain disappointing. It felt like a cheap cop-out and left me feeling unsatisfied and let down. After investing so much time and emotional energy into the series, it was disheartening to see it end on such a low note.
Overall, while I did enjoy "Fall" for the most part, the final episode completely ruined it for me. The rushed and poorly executed ending completely overshadowed the rest of the series and left me feeling disappointed and frustrated.
Brahmastra Part One: Shiva (2022)
Unbiased Review
I am not a big fan of the star cast of this movie, however, I still spent ~3hrs on OTT to watch this movie. I would say it is an average movie. Beginning was very interesting and it seemed there will be a good story plot without any Bollywood masala. I was wrong though, after few mins, a sci-fi type movie turned into boring conversation between Shiva & Isha. I don't even understand whether Isha's character was necessary, it ruined entire movie.
There are good VFX on certain fight scene. Often, there is too much of Red and blue color.
Good acting by all characters except Ranbir and Alia. SRK's opening made a good start, but these two ruined the rest of the movie.
Concept is very good, but execution is flawed. It would have been better if Director avoided love songs and mirch masala.
As it is available on OTT you can watch for a timepass.
Maharani (2021)
Ignored it for long time
I didn't watch season 1, and was ignoring season 2 for long time. I thought it would be with all gaali galoch, but this was interesting binge watch.
Good casting, screenplay and direction. Waiting for next season. This has given good opportunity to drama actors.
Huma Qureshi did just to the character she played. Soham Shah looked real politician.. Hume to apno ne luta...
Tag lines like:
Parampara banti hai todne ke liye. Aur Hum to badnaam hai use todne ke liye.
Well written script and episod 10 has left us wait for next big season.
Spoiler:
I was doubting that lady from the beginning, it looked like she was injected by someone. The revelation went very quick. I was expecting the detailed investigation was shown and how they uncovered different clues.
Heaven (2022)
Worth time spent
No bad words, no songs, clean story telling.
Climax was ok. There are few mistakes like it didn't show how Stephen got injured.
Overall, a good watch than Laal singh badda and Dobaara.
Dear Father (2022)
Family entertainment
Worth a watch with family. No songs, no mirch masala...
Keeps you engaged till last minute.
Paresh Rawal rocks in both persona. Other actors also acted well.
Good see movies like these getting space in OTT platform.
The Kashmir Files (2022)
What to say? No words.
Educated confused mind unable to decide what's right, what's wrong?
This is a story of today.
This is a story of us.
This is a story of truth.
I watched movie in cinema after 12 years, and it was worth it. To know the truth, to understand what pain our own people went through.
Story is to the point, no mirch masala, every young mind should watch this movie. Brilliantly executed project.
Sanak (2021)
This is called action movie
I am a big fan of Jackie Chan and was always wondering why bollywood don't have movies in this genre. Action movies don't always mean to blew up cars, a hero with no fighting background alone take down 20 men in a single kick.
Sanak is a real action movie. Yes, there may be few flaws here and there, and every movies including 300cr club have them.
Sanak storyline is simple, it will keep you engaged for 2 hrs, fight scenes are well directed, and you would love to watch them. Vidyut has done phenomenal job, if you liked Khuda Hafis, you would like this movie.
Few things could have been better:
* Captain Saju could have been shown more brutal.
* Neha Dhupia was ok, a role could have been given to other actor.
