Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (2023)

Do not waste your time

[2/10 · 9 October 2023]

Worst movie by Karan Johar. Except Namit Das, Aamir Basheer, and the actors who played Aalia's parents all THE REST were pathetic.

Ranveer and Aalia are very good actors. But Karan was successful in extracting this kind of performances from them. Ranveer wad very good in Band Baaja Baraat, Gully Boys and Dil dhakadne do. But his choices of other films are less saud better.

Aalia is good in so many, the list is long.

This guy Karan should retire.

Maybe because watched the EPIC "Jaane Jaan" and the maestro Jaideep before this chaos of a movie, I found it even worst.

Just shared this hopefully helping you to save your precious time.

Dahaad (2023– )

Watch this forcthe performances ...

[9/10 · 18 July 2023]

I am writing this review before reading any earlier ones so not to be influenced.

A good series ... not to be missed.

Story ... good but not extraordinary.

Direction ... very good.

But I lovedcit fir the performances ... Vijay Varma ... no need to say anything, just watch him ... difficult to take your eyes off him when he is on screen ... Sohum Shah ... a revelation ... Gulshan Devaiah ... he has his own unique way of acting ... a powerhouse here presenting a mild controlled act ... The actress who played Gulshan Devaiah's wife ... she is terrific ... why cant I find her name ???

Good casting ...

Darlings (I) (2022)

Amazing acting ...

[9/10 · 25 August 2022]

Excellent direction and editing, Great performances from Alia, Shefali, Roshan and others ... But Vijay Varma ... WoW !!!

If his performance does not deserve an award, then I do not know what does ... And most probably he will be ignored ...

Glitch (2015–2019)

Brilliant ...

I generally do not write reviews ... only rate the title ... but this time I wanted to write because of so many reviews I had read was misleading that the 3rd season did not leave upto the expectation. But please do not make up your mind based on those reviews and watch the series till the end ... I had done so and yes, it was consistent ... the same build up of dramatic scenes and terrific acting ... yes all of them ... but my favourites were Emily, Ned, Andrew and Genevieve. Direction and camera works were outstanding.

This series is 100 times better than Stranger Things and almost as good as DARK.

Hope Aur Hum (2018)

Do not miss it ... Worth every frame ...

[9/10 · 27 March 2021]

Absolutely fantastic movie. Everybody acts well ... casting is great and this one will refresh you ... Yes almost a fairy tale ... but why not ?

Thank you Sudip Bandyopadhyay & Dear Nasseruddin Shah ...

Indoo Ki Jawani (2020)

Do not go by the reviews & ratings ...

[9/10 · 8 March 2021]

Do not understand why so many bad reviews. I put 9 just to counter them a little. Great little movie, great acting and very good direction. Watch it ... you will enjoy. And Mark my words, you should hear more of Aditya Seal in the future ... he is a star ...

Choked (2020)

Out of the box...

[8/10 · 25 January 2021]

Do not understand why so low rating by people... I think they need coolie no 1. Different style of narratives ... the scenes between Saiyami and Roshan were WOW !!! Highly recommended for people looking for something out of the box. Well done Anuraag. You set a trend, thank you.

A Suitable Boy (2020)

6 stars for acting only.

[6/10 · 21 November 2020]

I try to watch and like Mira Nair's work ... and again I am let down. Cliche, cartoonish characters ... I am giving 6 stars for acting only ... Namit Das was outstanding ... Ram Kapoor, Vijay Burma and Tabu was great ...

The Zoya Factor (2019)

Decent but ...

[6/10 · 11 December 2019]

A decent movie and good acting all around except the central character ... Sonam Kapoor

She is pathetic ... there were so many wow scenes ... and she spoiled them single handedly.

Just imagine somebody like Kangana in this role ... she would have killed it

Dolquer was splendid ... Sikandar was very good ...

24 (2001–2010)

Almost ...

[7/10 · 9 March 2018]

I enjoyed the show alright ... talking about season 1 only. Except Nina was supposed to be killed by Jack as directed by Gaines who was under the Drazens. It was Jack who gave Nina a flak jacket and saved her life. How come she will still work for the Drazen after that ? Not likely. It was a mistake by the makers ... no doubt ... Thats why only 7 stars by me.
