Kampen om Narvik (2022)
Attempt to display Emotional prospective to the war story of Narvik
I see many reviews commenting on the historical accuracy of the film. Rather I will be reviewing the film on its quality and technical standards which are found to very good. The plot of the film is what I liked the most. In fact, there are short mini stories in the same timeline and movie often switches brilliantly between them. Background score could have been better. Movie succeeds in maintaing the tension between the events. This films qualifies the genre of being war action,drama, bit of a thriller and pinch of romanticism in it. I too feel that maybe due to budget limitations, the films scope was limited to very limited locations which could have been a slight better.
Badhaai Do (2022)
Sweet and elegant
This movie will keep you engaged from start till the ending minute. The most beautiful part of the movie is the sweet presentation of the subject and the message to be conveyed by the film. The concept of film story in its own is so powerful and creative that irrespective of our opinions on the LGBT community, you will find it interesting and entertaining. Great work by the cast and lead role playing Bhumi and Rajkumar. The plot, screenplay is perfect for the nature of the film. There are no signs of abuse or gore in the dailogues, inspite being a sensitive topic to present. Songs are nice. Overall great work. Whatever may the opinions on the topic and the acceptance, one will definitely love this film and must watch it.
The Batman (2022)
Make way for Detective Batman
Matt Reves's Batman is more a Detective themed movie yet there are action sequences time to time as well. Being a Detective movie, the story feels like there is puzzle and Batman is solving the puzzle through out the movie and at same time Batman realizes that he is part of the same puzzle. Overall the movie is good. I feel the end could have been better in terms of plot (and not necessarily the story). This is the reason when you feel that the movie is long.
The background score was great throughout the movie.
Cast performance was like they did what they had to do. Some are saying that the movie is equivalent to Dark Knight to which I totally disagree. But yes it's worth watching and spend your money on this one.
The Girl on the Train (2016)
Emily Blunt gives everything for this one
I just gone through some reviews, its not worth 6.5 star rating movie, it's definitely more than that! Although I agree that the screenplay coud be a little better but man, the performance from Emily overshadows everything else. This movie does not have a vibe that you get in some of the cult classics there, which I belive could bring a reason for some negative reviews. I also think that some other characters especially Tom could have been more worked upon. Overall I liked the movie a lot and should everyone watch this movie atleast once.
Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior (2020)
High voltage historical action film which considerably misrepresents the actual history.
The movie is about the Great Maratha Commander Tanhaji Malusare and his battle with Mughal Commander Udaybhan Rathod to recapture the fort of Kondhana which was handed over by King Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb during the seige of Purandar fort. The script is short and simple with no major twists and turns. The graphics(VFX) used for filming action sequences are good as far as bollywood standards are concerned. The lead Ajay Devgan is seen in his same like always angry action aura. Kajol plays the role of Tanhaji's wife Savitribai Malusare. Her role is introduced with a objective to describe the typical wife of maratha commander who always finds himself in war and life threatening situations. The role of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is performed by Sharad Kelkar. His performance is very good thanks to his look and voice which does suit the character. It feels like the dialogues given to the King Shivaji were not that superior which could have been more better. It seems like they did not make complete use of Sharad's good looks and voice that matches with character of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The talking point remains the performance of Saif ( as Udaybhan) in the negative role. He is potrayed as an psychotic but mighty and powerful mughal commander. The character potration of Ranveer in Padmavat is somewhat similar to that of Udaybhan. Neha Sharma has role with a very limited scope. She is shown as the widow who is loved by Udaybhan and brought by him to Kondhana forcefully. Glorifying negative role more brilliantly with much more superior dialogues has became a new trend in bollywood. Considering the exact historical events, there are many events in the movie which are either more glorified or misrepesent the actual historical events. This fact may dissapoint the audience who are aware of the actual historical events. The climax is not that great, especially the death of Udaybhan. Considering the character potraition and built of Udaybhan, the way he is killed by Tanhaji surely dissapoints the audience. Morever, the movie seems to lack in the intensity of relationship between King Shivaji Maharaj and Tanhaji Malusare. Other action based characters along with Tanhaji ( Suryaji and Shelar Mama) are shown rarely in the Climax. It seems like they sought of messed with the climax and tried to hurry things up. The movie may seem short to some of the audience especially looking at the length of climax event. The songs are good and less lenghty. The dailogs are seemed to be ok which could be more better considering the historical genre of the film. Overall, I'll recommend this movie to ancient history and action lovers and of course to the fans of Ajay Devgan and Saif Ali khan.
Kabir Singh (2019)
Best career performance of Shahid Kapoor
Kabir Singh is the best career performance of Shahid Kapoor. Although being a remake, it is unique in the way Shahid has performed. The movie has some serious and emotional moments but it engages the viewer in laughter throughout the film. The lead role female actress Kiara Advani doesn't have much to work with. The songs are good. Must watch.
