The girl from the past
19 April 2024
Creatively directed and powerfully presented by all the actors. One of the most engaging and involving japanese short dramas I have watched till date. Never got bored while watching the series, the story flows effortlessly smooth. The quality of acting displayed, especially by the two leads is just brilliant. Not for a single minute you will feel that they were acting, it is uniquely authentic. The best aspect about this series is that you can watch it from start to end in a matter of few hours. If you are looking for something new & fresh, you will surely love it. From well choreographed action scenes to hilariously funny comedy, and from sweet love story to tragic plot twists, this series has it all. Eagerly waiting for season 2.

The hidden history, the real history, the pure history which will rub salt on many wounds
24 March 2024
Beautifully directed, written and presented by Randeep hooda. All things from background music to structuring of storyline and from cinematography to intended emotional communication fit perfectly like an elegant jigsaw puzzle.

Even though the movie is almost 3 hours long you don't feel its length, thanks to the grip and involvement it generates. Soul touching drama ready to equip you with a refreshing perspective not only on history but also on life as a whole.

The quality of acting displayed by randeep hooda is exceptionally brilliant. Not for a single second did I witness randeep I only saw savarkar.

Animal (I) (2023)
7/10
This Animal is exceptionally brilliant but needs a team of psychologists to cure him
2 December 2023
This is surely one of the best movies that bollywood has produced in the last 10 years in terms of entertainment. All things from storyline to music and from action scenes to quality of acting are brilliantly planned and executed. Even though the running time of the movie is almost 3.5 hours you actually don't feel its length.

RK has really nailed it this time. This performance can be surely counted as one of his very best in terms of quality of acting. As much as I want to say the same thing for Rashmika, the element of common sense is simply not allowing me. Firstly, the quality of acting displayed by her is disappointing compared to her previous performances. And further I am still not able to understand why someone like her accepted the movie after reading the script.(may be due to RK). The character she plays feels like a clown in the movie.

The adult scenes in the movie were forcefully forced into the script and felt very unnatural. The first half of the movie is the most striking and impressive aspect, but sadly it starts to lose momentum every minute in the second half. Unnecessary and untimely placement of songs further declines the experience. The movie deviates from its original plot & theme several times which can be frustrating. Another frustrating part is that several dialogues in English and punjabi language are said so fast that 90% of audience fails to digest them. Lack of twists and turns makes it boring at times. Boby deols screen time is not more than 25 minutes, and that too without a single dialouge, which is again disappointing and surprising because the trailer of the movie makes him look like one of the leads.

But all things said, we cannot deny the fact that it is something very fresh and unique, which the audience will love. One of the most aesthetically appealing & enjoyable movie from Bollywood in long time. The message it delivers between a father and son is very beautiful and climax makes up for all the faults it has.

Purely a theatre movie will not be that satisfying if witnessed on mobile or laptop.

Tiger 3 (2023)
2/10
Half cooked bland biryani served by the same soul less waiter.
12 November 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Being a Khan fan the flagship dish named "2023" was very heavy & painful to digest, especially after such continuous disappointments. First pathaan, then Jawan and now tiger 3. All are the beads of the same necklace. It feels like Bollywood has become complacent and hence has done abortion of 2 terms, "Innovation" & "Creativity". This movie is no exception. All things disappoint, from storyline to overcooked action scenes and from acting to less cooked script. The dish tiger 3 is over cooked from certain aspects and less cooked from others. All contributing equally to another disaster.

If you are lucky enough to have a decently working brain, please keep it outside, because this movie doesn't make sense even for a minute. Each and everything is absurd and baseless. Sometimes even a congress spokesperson makes more sense than this movie. A rogue ISI agent trying to become PM of Pakistan and a rogue Raw agent trying to stop him, both agencies on the other hand are just displayed as mere spectators. Feels like a storyline at which even a 8 year old will laugh.

Only 2 points which were impressive enough were acting displayed by Imran hasmi and background music. I don't see anything cooking similar to that of Oppenheimer or Interstellar from Bollywood for another decade, because of lack of 2 things namely, directors brain and demand for good quality movies. This movie fails to grab and involve the attention of the viewer which her 2 predecessors did brilliantly. The first half was bland but still decently enjoyable. The second half came with a good nap.

I was only waiting for the movie to end since the second half of the second half began. The theatre was filled with forceful laughter and internal disappointments. Srk cameo was the only fresh breeze to make you smile in the complete second half. Climax is the last nail in the coffin. The brain of the director of the movie seems similar to that of the real life ishan who has not found his amir khan yet.

Jawan (2023)
3/10
If you are looking for a good movie, keep looking......
9 September 2023
The movie can be judged from 2 perspectives, the first one is emotional and the later is rational. Let's judge it from the second one as it is often a rare element to witness.

This movie is a disaster. All the basic pillars which make up the foundation are hollow. Acting is cringe af, story & script is a copy paste donkey work done by the director. Music is average, action scenes are good but stand on baseless & senseless legs. You continuously cry inside why I purchased the ticket. Please give me a refund.

In today's world where the best movies and web series from around the world are upon the tip of your thumb, this movie fails to hide its weakness. The only factor driving the whole setup is srk, similar to pathan. The moment you take srk out and put another actor in, the movie falls.

Conclusion : Srk is really a cinema God. Only he is capable of driving such soul-less movies to the destination known as box office hits.

Pathaan (2023)
6/10
Definitely a Great Watch & a visual treat for srk fans, but overall feels shallow and is unable to connect & satisfy
26 January 2023
Action packed entertainer and a visual treat for not only srk fans but also all action dimension movie lovers. Storyline, dialogues, cinematography, acting, direction, action scenes, all things fit perfectly to create this amazing entertainer. Music is on point. The sprinkles of comedy and humour combined with the unique charm of srk help to elevate overall experience of the movie. But something feels lacking, some stones are left unturned. The movie is unable to connect and satisfy the viewer like typical srk movies do.

The level of satisfaction while leaving the theatre is low, unlike other srk movies. The structuring and sequencing of the scenes could have been done in a more better manner. Deepika is just a timepass character and fails to impress. John is "OK". Storyline is also pretty straight and simple and lacks real twists and turns to give you that nail biting experience. It almost feels that just because it is srk people are forcing themselves to like the movie. U replace srk with any other star and movie will go down for sure. The director of the movie miserably failed to effectively utilise the asset named srk he had at his disposal.

Also originality is at question as many times the movie feels just compilation of scenes from different movies like War, Welcome, Don series, Happy New year, race 2, character M from James bond, Ek tha tiger etc. The emotions are lacking and only action is visible.

Overall a one time watch average movie with driving factor srk transformaing it into a hit.

A Great Watch, Entertaining and morally uplifting
24 January 2023
One could argue the limitations in creating a cartoon or Anime series successfully. But few exceptions always pop up and make their way, like this one. Storyline, direction, music, animation, cinematography, dialogues all contribute there unique share into creating this soul touching series. Creatively crafted entertainer, worth your time for sure. The quality and amount of emotions that are woven into it are exceptionally brilliant. Visually appealing and entertaining. This is really one of those which goes beyond the dimension of 26 Alphabets and becomes a beautiful experience which every individual should witness himself. Even though a one time watch, but worth witnessing.

One of the most beautifully crafted cartoon dimension movie worth witnessing
22 January 2023
One could argue the limitations in creating a cartoon or Anime movie successfully. But few exceptions always pop up and make their way, like this one. Storyline, direction, music, animation, cinematography, dialogues all contribute there unique share into creating this soul touching movie. Visually appealing and entertaining. Storyline may feel childesh to few, but remember that now humans have concrete evidence of existence of an ancient civilization almost 56 million years ago on earth. At the same time we also have evidence of liquid water flowing on Mars in the form of rivers at the same time, that is around 56 million years ago. Atlantis which many are trying to find may could have existed beyond earth and beyond human imaginative horizons. As we go ahead in time and more scientific evidences emerge movies like this and similar to this will start to make sense. Creatively crafted entertainer, worth your time for sure.

Us (II) (2019)
7/10
Satisfies what it needs to !!
20 January 2023
Expectations were very high as many approached this movie after witnessing Get Out. The movie is not able to meet those high ceiling standards but, yes, it nicely satisfies what it needs to. Even though it falls under the category of one time watch, don't underestimate it's potential. Amazingly directed and powerfully presented by all the actors. Music, acting, drama, dialogues, cinematography, screenplay, all contribute their share into creating an entertaining movie. Storyline feels shallow and unpolished, but the end twist helps to overcome it to a certain extent. Highly involving and engaging thriller drama worth your time for sure.

Let us not allow the dimension of fear for failure to decide our paths & Future
18 January 2023
Inspiring, thought provoking and enriching entertainment. Beautifully directed and elegantly presented by all the actors. Being based on a true event further uplifts the weight and impact of the movie. The movie basically revolves around a British military officer who is transferred to Royal geographical society and the grappling events that unfold further are worth witnessing in the movie. Even though a one time watch, don't underestimate the potential of the movie. Music, dialogues, screenplay, cinematography, direction, acting all are spot on. We need more historical adventurous movies like this based on true storylines. Great watch, highly recommended for all the historical and adventure dimension movie lovers.

Weak Hero Class 1 (2022– )
9/10
Refreshing, involving, action packed amazing entertainer
16 January 2023
One of the best action packed kdrama, amazingly directed and even more powerfully presented by all the actors. All the aspects associated with it from dialogue delivery to direction and from action scenes to storyline are executed in an exceptionally brilliant manner. Other aspects like music, acting, cinematography are also on point. Within just 8 episodes the amount of emotions displayed in the drama are worth witnessing. Refreshing and highly involving psychological thriller. We really need more like this from kdramas. Ending too is thoughtfully and nicely crafted which leaves room for season 2 which I am eagerly waiting for. Great watch, highly recommended.

Hollow ball
11 January 2023
If you are not into the game of baseball, don't waste your time on this Hollow ball. Only one thing which barely keep this movie afloat is bradd pitt and his quality acting. Too much technical information is just thrown at your face. You are caught off-guard and start to loose interest in the movie. The aspects of "involving" and "engaging" are absent in the movie. You struggle to understand exactly what is happening in the movie. More inclined towards the dimension of informative documentary rather than entertaining movie. Highly disappointed after watching this movie. The director failed to shape a good storyline into a entertaining movie. Not everyones cup of tea.

Get Out (I) (2017)
9/10
That's what you can concretely call a "MOVIE"
2 January 2023
One of the best thriller dimension movies I have watched till date. This movie will really hypnotise you into an highly entertaining and spine chilling phase. Brilliantly directed and even more powerfully presented by all the actors. All aspects associated with the movie from music to quality acting and from screenplay to dialogues is a dimension beyond. Highly involving and engaging. The whole movie felt like half hour deal. Exceptional, creative and very unique storyline. The movie basically revolves around a black man who visits the parents house of his white girlfriend. And what awaits will surprise you. Great watch.

Our Precious life, the weight and gravity of which we don't realise until the very end
29 December 2022
Creative and thought provoking movie, beautifully directed and powerfully presented by all the actors. Great use of CGI, beautifully written, quality acting and cinematography and unique storyline really set this movie apart from the crowd. Highly involving and entertaining. Even though a one time watch, but a great watch. Our Precious life, the weight and gravity of which we don't realise until the very end, but movies like this really help us to realise that in early stage of our life and beautifully craft the remaining stages of life. Sometimes something's feel overdone and missing in the movie but overall definitely a great experience.

The story of the man of the century
25 December 2022
Beautifully directed and even more powerfully presented by all the actors. All the aspects associated with the movie from direction to dialogues and from cinematography to acting each and every thing is elegantly presented. This is one of those movies that go beyond the dimensions of entertainment and ratings, and become a experience which every individual should witness himself. A window into our violent past as human race as early as 1950s. A time machine to take you on a beautiful journey, a journey of realisation and appreciation. We really are very lucky to be born in this modern era and not back then. Great watch.

A Dimension Beyond 🌠
23 December 2022
This movie is a dimension beyond your highest expections. Each and every aspect associated with the movie surpasses the the wildest thresholds your imagination is capable of setting. Beautifully directed evergreen epic, from direction to cinematography and from music to insane visuals. The storyline, acting, dialogues, CGI all in totality are exceptionally brilliant and really you cannot ask for more. Spine chilling stunner, theatre 3d experience uplifts it to even more crazy dimension. Now, the navi will transform themselves into sea people's. Jake sulleys journey was definitely a heavy rollercoaster ride, from the sky people to the navis and now the sea people's. James Cameron imagination and creative abilities are not of this earth, they too seem to be taken from Pandora. One of the best movie we as a human kind have witnessed. Emotionally appealing and full of concrete life lessons. This movie series also provides a small window into the future of our species, humans are only 150-200 years away from doing this in reality. The dimension of colonization which was gone for good will make a comeback in a twisted interplanetary sense. And if you are wondering, yes we will discover evolved life forms and developed civilizations beyond earth before 2100.

Secret Zoo (2020)
9/10
Refreshing and Entertaining
17 December 2022
One of the most amazingly directed and presented movie interms of entertainment. All the aspects associated with the movie, especially it's creative and unique storyline are brilliantly executed. The movie serves the purpose of providing good laughter and entertainment. The story basically revolves around a rookie lawyer working in a big law firm and how he ends up being in a zoo without animals. A great one time watch which you can enjoy with your friends and family. Worth your time for sure. A movie with baseless dimension, yes but it serves the purpose for which it is made that is sweet and silly laughter.

We all have a stranger living within ourselves
16 December 2022
Amazingly directed and even more powerfully presented by all the actors. Acting, cinematography, direction, storyline, dialogues, background music, etc associated with the movie are brilliantly executed. This is the spine chilling crime thriller dimension movie you are looking for with additional spice of horror elements. Don't know why this review section is filled with so many bad reviews. The movie is really amazing and does not disappoint at all. The storyline basically revolves around a farmer and how he convinces his teenage son to kill is own wife. And what follows further can be witnessed in the movie. A great one time watch for sure.

An Ideal Family
13 December 2022
Beautifully directed and even more powerfully presented by all the actors. Aspects such as script, storyline, acting and direction are brilliantly planned and executed. Sandra Bullocks acting in the movie is exceptionally brilliant. An emotional rollercoaster journey worth your time for sure. Being based on a true story the movie basically revolves around a poor orphan boy, his struggles and his perspectives. And how an ideal family adopts him and share their love and affection, nurture him to not only become successful in life but also a good human being. The characters in the movie really feel like a family. Great watch.

A synonym for the term "WEAK"
9 December 2022
The movie desperately shouts and urges for some content that will help to induce grip and involvement among the audience. A absolute synonym for the term"weak". Each and every aspect of the movie is weak, from direction to storyline and from acting to script. Childish and baseless disaster. The director seems confused interms of the structure of the movie. First half of the movie is characterized by low grip, low quality acting especially from the female lead, disappointing script and direction. Some humour do bring few instances of smile on your face. The second half is disaster in waiting, absolutely horrible. Unnecessarily overstretched drama with poor storyline.

Overall highly disappointing, kriti Sanon's screen time was surprisingly lower than the term low. Why take the role with sooo muuuch lessss screen time ??. Only two aspects were comparatively on decent side, varun Dhawan's acting and music. CGI was also decent but could have been done in a much better manner.

It is hard to let go ! Well it is, but that's Life.
7 December 2022
As full stops are necessary for ending sentences, brakes are necessary to put stoppage to the acceleration, night to end a day, so is death. Something's need to end so that others can start. That's the theme of the movie, beautifully directed and even more elegantly presented by all the actors. One of the most amazingly crafted movie which really goes into the dimension of evergreen epics. Beyond the horizon of those limited 26 alphabets are capable of expressing. This movie is an experience which every individual should take. Creatively written, unique storyline and powerful acting. 3 hours feel like 30 minutes, that's the level of involvement and grip the movie has. Enlighting and thought provoking.

Lust, Caution (2007)

Some stones are left unturned
5 December 2022
One of the most asthetically appealing creation that will take you back in time. Beautifully directed and elegantly presented by all the actors. The attention of detail is really praise worthy which beautifully potrays the world of 1940s. Apart from the adult content, the movie feels shallow. The storyline is sometimes too much complicated and viewers really struggle to understand what is exactly happening. The end further adds to the disappointment and fails to satisfy the overall experience. It could have been directed and told in a much better manner. Sometimes the course the movie takes feels senseless and baseless. You struggle to understand the reasons behind the characters action. The director failed in the story telling aspect.

In short, at the end it feels that some important stones are left unturned. Something's which required clarity remain in dark. For example, before seeing the ring was the actress unaware of her love ? Did she only realise her love towards Mr. Yee after seeing that ring ? Such things are illogical and are hard to digest for audience. But overall I will say that it is a worth one time watch for sure .

The SKY PEOPLE
4 December 2022
One of the most creatively and beautifully crafted movie human kind has witnessed. This is what you can concretely call an evergreen epic. This movie really goes beyond the dimension that 26 alphabets are capable of expressing and is rather an experience which every individual should witness himself. "The sky people" the term used for humans resonates with the term "The sea people" who came and played their role in destroying bronze age civilizations. And we are doing the same in this movie. All aspects associated with the movie are just brilliantly executed. The vision of James Cameron is just exceptionally brilliant which made him capable of manufacturing this epic.
