Bad Boy Billionaires: India (2020– )

Stick one's neck out.

[8/10 · 7 October 2020]

Vijay Malya, Nirav Modi,Subrata roy A Man with dreams that comes to end by default in loans. A man with ideas who is very confident in his strategies completely gone wrong by exposing the truths behind it. A Hubris Man who is actually a guru to lot many people is a foe now in every citizen. The rise and fall in life here shows us some important mistakes that we shouldn't do. Everybody has dreams. To follow up in wrong Direction is undoubtedly wasted oppurtunity. I am waiting for Satyam scandal.

Serious Men (2020)

Smart ones and Slow ones

[7/10 · 3 October 2020]

I can't deal with the primitive minds like u. An absolute satire on the educational system. The points they deal within the film are well spaced. Science, Political, Educational, Middle class life everything that is portrayed is perfect. The turnover by Nasser in the ending scenes is just brillant. Serious Men is the Idiom given by PA's whose bosses are strict as said it the initial sequences. But later on the film we come to know there r new points that raised. The way they mentally challenged the people around u ,the way Nawazuddin blackmailed and many more resembles the title. Even though Nawazuddin Siddiqui backstory is good, I see it as pointless connection. Good but not at its best.

#Alive (2020)

A Sporadic Zombie Thriller.

[5/10 · 17 September 2020]

#Alive offers nothing new..just for the sake of last twist. A zombie Survival. We have seen this type concept in many movies.. u know them. But considering pandemic situation #I_Must_Suvive campaign scores. Living alone ,a sudden change in behaviour , Suicidal thoughts, then the writer brings up another survivor for the sake of extending the film into some more mintues. Partially good but not that bad.

The Social Dilemma (2020)

Do a reality check..!

[7/10 · 17 September 2020]

Social dilemma is about knowing urself. Its about how u behave ,how u control ,how u undergo at different conditions. Knwing about urself is nothing but checking the facts unknown. Now a days no body knows about u better than social media. There's a story shown in a parellel way almost everybody connects to it. Teenage groups are most effected. The facts shown in this docu are shocking. What lacking behind all this stuff is nothing but how u prove urslef to others. I didn't me go and show something carzy stuff about u. Nothing but discover ur self. Isn't right ? Social apps are nothing but discovering urslelf. But the reality vs fake concept in the last 30 minutes is absolutely true. Don't miss the end credits.

The Devil All the Time (2020)

Bones and Bodies

[6/10 · 16 September 2020]

Three stories.. all together at the end. Not a perfect one but its a mixed bag. Great performances with poor characterization. First hour is too slow. when Robert and Tom both had a chat in church.. the flick picks up the pace which was much needed. Second hour is all blood soaked and Artistic. I was dissapointed with the Narration..When u see the things which are happening why do u narrate then. we expect atleast a back story and how does the character feel. It hardly gives us time to think about the characters or scenes happening. Tom always wanted a proper burial to his dog. He finally does it and yawns. This is not a horror movie neither thriller nor a revenge drama

Unbroken (I) (2014)

If u can take it, u can make it.

[8/10 · 14 September 2020]

Unbroken is a journey of a man through tough times. Brillantly shot and written. The life of Louis Zamperini is Inspiring,motivating,incentivizing. A moment of pain is worth a lifetime of glory. The scene where so called Bird force Louis to lift the big piece of wood over his head, his fight with the nature when he was struggling in the sea, his commitment towards his beliefs, his patience as a prisoner, his sacrifice towards fellow prisoners , His confidence level, inner strengths and many others. Must watch

Cargo (I) (2019)

Reincarnation.

[7/10 · 9 September 2020]

Cargo is a Soulful drama movie with SciFi elements. The concept is very unique one based on Life after death. Cleverly written based on Incarnation in Hindu mythology. Apart from SciFi drama..it offers humour with Emotional moments and Some awakening topics. The movie is a slow paced one. Screenplay is lagging in few scenes. Preclimax and climax are good Performances are neat. Production values are good. Art work stands out. There is no much scope for other technical departments. Watch it.

JL50 (2020– )

Time never moves

[7/10 · 7 September 2020]

Brillantly Written plot. Combination of Mythology and SciFi elements makes it an interesting watch. SciFi subjects need VFX. But this movies breaks all the barriers in a SciFi plot. We can hardly see VFX. Abhay Deol is back. Rest are okay. Editing and the Sound departments are good. Production values could be better. The last two episodes are really good. Something fresh and creative on Indian screen. The concept about warmholes and human relations makes it a good watch.

C U Soon (2020)

Cyberspace

[7/10 · 5 September 2020]

Few minutes into the movie we can understand that it going to be a different Movie than regular type. Those who have seen searching,Profile , Unfriended can easily what kind of movie it is. Ofcourse Its a thriller but where it lacks is the rescue operation. It can be shown in more interesting way. Good could have been better. Its like a mixed package of above three movies I mentioned in making. Moreover it's like Indian version. . Story is good. Rest all okay. Watch it. Recommended

V (2020)

Utterly Dissapointing.

[4/10 · 5 September 2020]

If u don't have enough scripts to make..copy the old revenge theme and make it in a lavish or stylish way. Screenplay is lagging especially in second hour. The total flashback episode was pinned down. Sound and editing departments are good. Coming to performances Sudheer Babu is ok as a police officer. Nani is a pyscho killer. He goes overboard with his acting. Nivetha and Aditi..ok. The movies is a mixed pack of Various films we have seen in the past. V for Vendetta ,Seven,Zodiac etc and typical Indian plot lines including Charity issues,Cat and mouse play , Religious rights and other allegations. Okayish movie. I can't say thriller because it offers nothing new.

The Yellow Sea (2010)

A man on mission

[7/10 · 31 August 2020]

The plotnis simple. A man hires a guy to kill a person. The same guy hires another guy to kill the same person and this repeated. Finally a taxi driver gets a quote for a large amount of money. How did he do and What factors cameuo after that. The perfection of committing murder and facing the consequences is shown in a cold blooded revenge manner. Action Choreography stands out. Unexpected ending with a twist in climax. And post credit scenes too. Watch it.

I Saw the Devil (2010)

Voracious and Vengeful

[7/10 · 30 August 2020]

There's a limit for everything. But this kind of revenge is nothing but hard and it was deeply rooted. I can't take this out of my head. It was so disturbing. Everytime the protagonist takes on antagonist but he didn't kill. It was fun,brutal, Ferocious. Watch it if u like revenge dramas. And there r lot of action sequences

Confession of Murder (2012)

A hell of a ride

[6/10 · 30 August 2020]

Dividing into the parts..Making a sensational statement, Giving hype for a murderer, Revenge from victim families , Egoistic murderer and a final twist. The three lead role performances are quite good. Makes a difference from each other. Chasing sequences are good. A Confession with a revenge drama. Watch it.

Rashomon (1950)

Unsolved Puzzle

[9/10 · 30 August 2020]

Akira Kurosawa is one of the greatest film makers in the world. There's no doubt in it. Non linear Screenplay with out of the box climax is the best portion in the film. Four different versions where three of the stories are completely different and fourth one might be more related from the woodcutter. Bandit ,Woman ,Husband ..everybody has their own versions. There r two things that can be related to any kind of human nature ..Selfishness and money. These two have the dangerous impotence effect on every human being. Climax is deep about the selfishness of human being. The baby was a symbolically shown.. where woodcutter takes baby from priest hands and leaves that there is still hope exists. One word Masterpiece. Highly recommended

The Tashkent Files (2019)

A Political Conspiracy

[8/10 · 30 August 2020]

Many unknown facts are discussed in this film. U will be surprised about democracy and secularism. Everything is interlinked. Initial sequences and final portions are too good. Huge starcast make it delightful watch. Underrated movie in bollywood. Highly recommended

Rear Window (1954)

Captivating Mystery.

[8/10 · 29 August 2020]

Alfred Hitchcock is absolute genius. Though the murder was nver shown or seen by anybody in the film it's solved at the end. How can a director comeup with this kind of idea. Initial sequences are low..but later on its engaging. Story idea was a gem. All the crafts are perfectly shown. Must watch

Psycho (1960)

Masterpiece

[9/10 · 29 August 2020]

Alfred Hitchcock is a master in making Thriller and mystery movies. Psycho is a gem of it. Every frame in this movies is so perfect. It can't be compared with any other movies. Climax at its best. Psychological thriller with engaging screenplay. A masterpiece in making. Highly recommended. Must watch classic movie

Dhananjay (2017)

Intense court room drama

[8/10 · 28 August 2020]

Its all about a murder ! The final twist is expected but the detailing is excellent and thoughtful. Screenplay is the highlight of the film. It hardly bore us wuth unnecessary scenes. Must watch. Highly recommended

Grandmaster (2012)

Partially Good

[6/10 · 24 August 2020]

The screenplay is too slow to handle. But Half hour into the story we get to see that it's a chess game. Thanks to pre climax and climax which were More convincing. there r few scenes in movie which were really good. Okayish Thriller

Talvar (2015)

Hypothetical Drama

[9/10 · 23 August 2020]

Its just Ego factor that leads to utter failure. Two officers who r responsible for their actions gives us horrible fluctuations. This movie is more like a documentary. I wish it was solved. Gripping story with Non linear Screenplay makes it interesting. Climax is awful. Highly recommended. Must watch.

Virumandi (2004)

Masterpiece !

[9/10 · 20 August 2020]

Kamal hasam is not only an actor..he is best at his directional elements. He picks up a regular revenge theme and deals with non linear Screenplay which is popularly known as Rashomon effect. That's Kamal style of making. Though the initial sequences are bit lag..we come to know that it's not a regular kind of film from Opening scene. So just wait for it. Brilliant performances by All the actors. Realistic action episodes. Songs are good. Must watch

Paruthiveeran (2007)

Raw and Realistic

[9/10 · 20 August 2020]

Paruthiveeran is not a ususal movie which we see. Its one of its kind. The love story in it sucks but what the performances elevates the Film. Top notch performances by Lead pair Karthi and Priyamani especially in climax. Climax scenes are out of the box idea. Ameer took routine plot which deals a love story but his screenplay and taking deserves appreciation. Must watch and highly recommended

V for Vendetta (2005)

Unique one !

[8/10 · 19 August 2020]

The film is all about Govt vs people. The revolution against govt. starts with one man but Every citizen will believe in him. Climax is too good. There r few lines which are outstanding and deep. Govt should afraid of people but not Vice-versa ..like wise. Sound mixing and Action sequences are good. The most of the film is in dark.. I mean at the night resembles Govt's dark side.. Must Watch.

Lockup (2020)

Dramatic Thriller

[6/10 · 19 August 2020]

The whole movie is based on an incident. Screenplay is somewhat different what we see in Regular thriller movies. And that's difference leads the screenplay more dramatic. Its neither engaging. Second hour is Lag. Climax is Good. There are few scenes which are good. Satisfying Thriller.

The Hater (2020)

Internet scandal

[6/10 · 16 August 2020]

How can a man decides his own fate or future. The climax is the best example. Mixed concepts with interconnection ..Polarize people with ur tactics. Defaming a Person Who is in power ,work for an organisation , stalking ur girlfriend, Raise Religious beliefs ..the list goes on. Watch it.
