A Heartwarming Tale of Lost Brides
27 April 2024
The film's strength lies in its simplicity. Rao's direction takes us back to the basics of storytelling, where characters matter more than gimmicks. Nitanshi Goel and Sparsh Shrivastava shine as the misplaced brides, bringing authenticity and warmth to their roles. Pratibha Ranta, as the other bride, adds depth to the narrative. Laapataa Ladies doesn't shy away from societal commentary. It subtly challenges biases and stereotypes, making it inherently feminist. The film's humor is stagey but endearing, and the emotional moments hit just the right chords. Don't miss this heartwarming ride. Laapataa Ladies is a cup of chai on a rainy day-a comforting, delightful treat.

Mark Antony (2023)
7/10
Fun riot.
17 September 2023
Well, this movie is totally for entertainment purposes. We may be fans of Christopher Nolan, but once in a while we need an illogical movie with pure magic to entertain us. I loved the second part of the play, especially S. J. Surya's performance. Vishal score in the climax. I had a good laugh after a long time. Every scene was crisp and entertaining. The music is good, and the action sequences were enjoyable. Overall, this is a fun movie to watch with your gang. I hope the director continues on this path, where he can score very well. Leave your logical brain before entering the theater. Won't regret........

Close to truth.
6 August 2023
The documentary is produced in accordance with international standards. Congratulations to the technical and direction teams. The documentary strives to be objective, but if they go into further detail, Veerappan may become a hero. Police violence has never been presented in detail; what Walter Devaram and Rambo did to the people has never been shown. The state police and the gang never care about the people caught between the two. Even after 35 years, the village and its inhabitants have not changed. There was no development to improve their standard of living. The climax was not fully explained. They appear to have agreed to a police-created cover-up scenario. No one is born a criminal; society and their environment shape them. The only thing I admire about Veerappan is his ability to survive in the forest. No one has gotten close to him in nearly 20 years of searching.

Oppenheimer (I) (2023)
9/10
Just got amazed
20 July 2023
Oppenheimer is not solely based on the Trinity. It's entirely political drama. Just a reminder to the audience of how obsessed humans are with power and fame. Music is the true hero of Oppenheimer's film. Every highest point throughout the film causes enormous tension. Everyone did an excellent job. The visual grandeur of Trinity underwhelmed me, but the music helped to compensate. Nolan has once again demonstrated his ability to present a political drama. Where all of the mental state were handled flawlessly. Overall, a remarkable image and historical significance that should never be forgotten. The film will leave you speechless.

Hypnotic (2023)
5/10
Failed to pack a punch
1 June 2023
Hypnotic had a captivating concept with talented actors like Ben Affleck, Alice Braga, and JD Pardo.

However, the film lacked imagination and failed to explore its full potential. The protentional plot, but pacing issues hindered its impact. While there were visually pleasing moments, overall, it lacked innovation. Despite solid performances,

Hypnotic left me wanting more, as it failed to deliver a truly memorable and thought-provoking experience. While it may hold some appeal for fans of psychological thrillers, Hypnotic ultimately leaves the audience yearning for a more captivating and imaginative exploration of the human mind.

A unique concept....
30 May 2023
Simply put, "Brillant." The plot of this movie is completely original and has never been seen before. Especially the narrative, which leaves us perplexed just like every other character in the film does. Mammooty's performance was the film's standout point. It was outstanding and for the first time in a very long time, it felt like he was acting had such life. I especially enjoyed him in the bar scene. Each of the characters did an outstanding job. I noticed that things move quite slowly. Which kind of majority folks might pause midway. But the film's ending makes it all worthwhile. The management of emotion was excellent. Do not miss this film.

Ghosted (I) (2023)
5/10
Cocktail mix of old movies.
29 April 2023
This movie is for 2k+ kids. Who never watch "True Lies," "Mr. And Mrs. Smith," "Knight and Day," and others.

Ghosted is watchable because of the lead pair chemistry between them worked well, other than that action scenes with outdated characters, weak narrative, and a complete lack of humor, comedy, excitement, thrills, or even fundamental consistency.

Ana de Armas look stunning in the entire movie; Chris Evans was very charming and his performance made us to accept even when act in a mild mannered. I am clue less what made Adrien Brody to accept this role. It's just a one-time watchable when you don't have anything to watch.

Heart Melting Emotion
21 April 2023
This movie falls under my category of all-time top ten movies. A well-crafted, emotional, and feel-good movie. Countries like India have diverse cultures and languages. We should openly welcome this kind of movie. The director scored in every space he got throughout the movie. Each and every character arc is well designed and executed. After a long time, a much-needed break came for Sasi Kumar as an actor. The female lead role and the small boy's performance were very lively. I loved the father character, and the artist performed really well. I hope this director comes under the spotlight and keeps creating a fine movie. A must Watch films for everyone don't miss it.

The Last of Us (2023– )
8/10
Loved it
20 April 2023
Oh boy, where do I even start with The Last of Us Season 1? Let me just say, it's like a rollercoaster ride, but instead of feeling queasy, you'll feel like you just got off the ride of your life.

First of all, the characters are so well-written that you'll feel like they're your actual friends. Joel and Ellie are the dynamic duo that you never knew you needed in your life. Their banter is on point, and their interactions are just so entertaining. I mean, who wouldn't want to listen to a grown man and a teenager discuss the pros and cons of different types of chocolate bars while fighting off zombies?

Speaking of zombies, they're not your run-of-the-mill undead creatures. These infected monsters are so terrifying that they'll make you jump out of your seat. But don't worry, the action is so intense that you won't have time to be scared for long.

And let's not forget the soundtrack. It's so good that you'll find yourself humming the theme song long after you finish the show. It's the perfect mix of haunting and beautiful.

Overall, The Last of Us Season 1 is a must-watch for anyone who loves great characters, intense action, and zombies. It's the kind of show that will leave you feeling like you just had the best time of your life. Trust me, you won't regret watching it.

Purely for Action lover....
24 March 2023
John Wick: Chapter 4 is a love letter to action film-making and every action cinema lover's wet dream. The cinematography is Oscar-worthy, and the neo-noir genre has never looked better on the big screen as the bold and vibrant colors make each scene pop. The action choreography utilizes 100% of each and every set design used in the film to incorporate drama, thrill and also comedy. This movie has everything you could ever ask for - guns, knives, nun chucks, katanas, martial arts, cars, flamethrowers, bare hands etc. The stunt work is jaw-dropping and adrenaline inducing, especially a stunt that was performed on a staircase on the later half of the movie. It's pure gold."

Otto Heartwarming
6 March 2023
Before you start disliking my review, I should clarify that I never read or watched the other language movie. So, for me is definitely worth a watch. It will fill you with hope and happiness and maybe, just maybe, a desire to reach out to your own neighbors.

The film is a touching portrait of grief and resilience, of friendship and forgiveness, of love and loss. It is also funny and charming, with a lot of humor coming from Otto's interactions with his cat, his car, and his rivals. The film does not shy away from the dark and sad aspects of Otto's life, but it also celebrates the joy and beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places. Movie will make you laugh, cry, and hug your loved ones a little tighter.

Sharper (2023)
5/10
Underwhelming
18 February 2023
"Sharper" is a movie that could have been great, but ultimately ends up being just average. The film has an interesting premise and a talented cast, but it doesn't quite live up to its potential. The performances in the movie are good, but not great.

Julianne Moore is a talented actress and she brings a certain level of sophistication to the role of Harper, but the character ultimately feels a bit one-dimensional. Sebastian Stan also delivers a solid performance, but his character is underdeveloped and doesn't leave much of an impression.

Overall, "Sharper" is a movie that has its moments, but doesn't quite come together in a way that is truly memorable. It's an average film that will likely be forgotten in the grand scheme of things. If you're a fan of the cast or the genre, it's worth checking out, but don't expect to be blown away.

Nope....
27 January 2023
It's an action film, a dark comedy film, a masterpiece.... but That is not the case. The film's first and last 15 minutes are somewhat effective, but the rest of it is quite plain and blunt.

The action scene is mediocre, there is no hilarious comedy sequence, and there is no engaging screenplay. This sort of movie screenplay should be very engaging, but it lacks the thrilling elements. A media-related episode was creative and used well, but I believe it was overused as they utilized a media scene to cover up any scene transitions.

In any specific instance, Ayushmaan Khurana delivered an adequate performance. Overall a one-time watchable movie.

Very disappointing
24 January 2023
After seeing the trailer for this film, I was eager to see it in theatres. The film began in the style of James Wan way, assuring you that you are about to watch a solid horror film. But unfortunately, the movie got nothing new to offer us. Most of the highlight's scenes in movie are already showed in the trailers; other than that, there is no horror or thriller. Most of the scene seems to be very predictable. You can just keep perpetuating what's going to happen as you get closer to the climax, and it does occur.

A terrible screenplay tarnished a potentially good plot. After seeing the movie, I was totally disappointed.

Heist within a Heist
18 January 2023
This film is an interesting action thriller because it is very racy and contains a lot of information. The film begins in a bank where few people trying to do a heist. However, it abruptly changed course in an unexpected position. This film's main character (Michael Jackson aka ajith kumar) performed brilliantly as both a villain and a hero.

The lead female role looks stylish and captures our attention. The main focus of the film is how the bank system is working and affects commoner. The movie is technically excellent, and everyone delivered admirably performance. A good movie to watch with your family to learn how the financial system works on the basis of trust.

A Cringe Feast....
17 January 2023
I'm not opposed to family drama films. But I'm having trouble connecting with this one. A wealthy family is experiencing family conflict. Our hero arrives to preach everyone, making them realize their error and directing them in the right direction. A large mansion with limited people. The restroom alone is the size of a football stadium. Everyone is driving expensive cars and talking about billions of dollars and share market. Majority of the audience members were unfamiliar with the rich life and they were unable to connect with the movie.

Lets come to our hero who preach his mother, father, brother, sister in law, police man, servant, Villans, audience list goes on.. OMG i cant tolerate. U cant forceful keep a preaching dialogue just to show he is some kind of saint. Just one time(accidentally) watchable, such a bore to core.

Speak No Evil (2022)
2/10
What kind of nonsense did i watched???
14 December 2022
This movie ruined my Friday night. Not in a good way, but absolutely in the most annoying way.

After 30 minutes into the movie, it doesn't make sense why the characters are doing nothing and acting like idiots. How cowardly a man or woman can be, when danger threatens the family. They will fight back or show sign of aggressiveness, but here they behave total opposite like insensitive or dumb. Very senseless characters and flat performance.

Avoid at all costs. Not worth your time I hope others don't fall into the trap of seeing Metascore and few reviews.

You end up writing frustrated reviews like me.

Emancipation (2022)

Why so much hatred for this Movie???
10 December 2022
Well, I really enjoyed the film. It is a story about survival, freedom and individual self-confidence. Will Smith's performance was amazing. Odds of winning a Oscar for his performance is very high. Good cinematography, unique color correction and a brilliant stunt sequence.

The alligator scene in particular was shot very well. The ugly truth of slavery shows how few inhuman animals existed in the past. Small request for the viewers, Don't compare movie with the artist personal life, both are different.

An emotional drama about slavery and a reminder of how unfair the past has been to people of color.

Very confused and blur, why its so hyped...
28 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Apart from the culture aspect in movie. I find the story is very flat and screenplay is like very boring.

A perdictable villan, so blunder hero and heroine scene. Which never worked for me. The music and climax stunt is the saviour of the movie. If not there is nothing much this movie can offer me. There no a clear explaination why the god choosed him. He is just a loafer. Never do much all he does is going for hunt, drinking liquor, smoking weed and bring trouble for people. Brother who devoted to the god dies. Does not make sense. Just because he is a hero he gets everything done i guess... A very average revenge story with culture and region based it went sensation.

What a brillant Screenplay.Damn
15 November 2022
After a long time i really enjoyed a fresh bollywood movie. Superb film making style and engaging screeplay. Actors did they are job perfect. Music is the star of the film. Wow retro style and color grading too. Film maker was so focused on keeping the audicene glue to the film and made you to guess who would have done that. This shows the success of this film. Special mention of radhika.apte and rajkumar did a wonderful job. The casting was very perfect and lots of twist and turns made this movie so engaging. No words to describe the fun ride. Hope everyone feels the same. Best movie dont miss it.

Well Handle Human Emotion Drama.
2 February 2022
Vishal Venkat as a debut director, did a brilliant drama. Engages lives of four individuals involving in one incident. Went into the film with out any expectation came back with heavy heartening..Each character arc was done well and few tears dropping scene made this film a unforgettable experience. Enjoyable drama everyone should watch and experience it.
