Fighter (2024)
Promising yet fails
Movie start with very Top gun feel, main plot and story line is convincing and VFX are beautiful. Jet fighter scenes are very good and doesnt looks like some cartoon pix.
First 3/4 part of movie is amazing , sub plots could be more story oriented still they feel ok. Cast is very good. Anil kapoor and Hritik steals the show in every scene.
Last 30mins of movie feels dragged or below par for the movie. To save 1 pilot they let 10 soldiers die, makes no sense. Main villian makes no impact he just dont die in every attack and keep attacking back. Hritik in a 1-1 fight and from point of advantage let him do more damage for no reason. Makes no sense when you are making todays generation army/defense peeps shows.
You should not start like top gun if you have to end like salman khan movie action.
Animal (2023)
Animal not worth the Roar
Few things works in this movie and many doesnt.
Animal is a good mix of emotions but explained badly. Performances of each actor is quite nice, Ranbir is outstanding Anil kapoor is amazing and Bobby could have steal the show but editing is weakest part of the movie, sub plots are not explained properly and villian Bobby deol is never shown enough on screen.
What went well:
- Very good performances, Ranbir worked like charm
- Rashmika fresh addition to bollywood
- background score is good
- Anil kapoor and bobby deol roles are small. Main villian comes in 4th of movie and that too only for 5-7 mins total. Anil kapoor should have more dialogue and scenes.
- Editing of movie is weak. This could have been smaller movie with better impact. But it feels dragged at many places.
- Love story part is badly portrayed, makes no sense.
- Father son emotional story needs father son scenes in movie to show or explain their bond. Last 5 mins are greater than whole movie.
-overall i can't recommend this movie to any movie lover. This is only for ranbir fans.
The Freelancer (2023)
One more similar show
One more show with similar special agent plot and syria human trafficking story. Not at all written well to bound the audience.
1st episode is nice but then series lose its pace and fell short to keep pace with genre.
A boring action series with rare action, easy to guess story and lame characters. - A missing child parent kills himself because he thinks thats the only way to contact his old friend who might save missing child. Make sense ?
Mohit raina character looks promising in starting but then stop doing anything later. He simply taking info from 2 places and making some plan.
Lastly i don't understand meaning of leaving a season in between after 4 episodes. Same has been done in night manager. Total non sense. That is not the meaning of seasons. Better release 1 episode per week. Rather giving half story and then asking to wait for some months for rest.
An Action Hero (2022)
Just action, no story and why left haryanvi factor in between
This movie is created keeping only a hero in mind rather than story or other characters. Haryanvi factor sounded so well in starting but then left in between for some reason. Jaydeep ahlawat is used least. Villian (jaydeep) (if he is) is not convincing in power. Hero keeps on overpower him in every fight. Just overall Dissappointed from 2 power full actors Ayushmann and Jaydeep, who could have hit home run but they chose to run on london streets cluelessly. In first half 3 policemen were really entertaining and then they were totally absent in next half of movie. The status shown for Jaydeep as very powerfull persona is not used niether convinced me in whole movie.
This movie have everything to succeed except good story to support it.
Mirzapur (2018)
One more moderate season 2 of a show
Good points
1. Very well explored and nurtured character of munna bhaiya and kaleen bhaiya. Shown complete growth which is the main reason of the success of show i think.
2. Music of season2 is much better than 1st and i liked it alot.
3. Good work of cgi and makeup, no character looks too dull or bad as showing a village/sub urban areas. Gun shot wounds and headshots have the look of hollywood like makeup and cgi(if not makeup). Really a good standard for india cinema.
4. Quite good casting of new characters too after season 1.
Not so good points
1. Alot of characters were introduced and not used and explored. Like character of sharad ,robin , tyagi and vijay varma(twins) were very much under utlised and couple of them could have been skipped and still made no difference.
2. Story becomes boring after reaching episode 6-7.. last few episodes were slow and redundant..
3. Once again and the main reason of not giving this show a rating like 8-9 is the ending of the show.. which becoming a template of solving splashed storyline quickly by a shootout and killing any extra characters you want.
Shootout at Tyagi place was totally comedy and not required at the moment, totally not linked with main story of mirzapur.
Shootout at the end was also same, all of sudden people are shooting 2 people with all their safety who were already informed of some possible issue are unaware of 5 people coming and shooting everybody down. Nonsense.
Paatal Lok (2020)
Dark ,smelly ,ever growing, great
I am giving this title 10, though it is not best in the world but surely one of the best in Indian web series. Casting and editing is amazing, Hathi ram dialogues and Vishal tyagi character is my fav. Background story of each character is good, crisp , much needed and sufficient. This series have what i like in web series, a good story with actors who are doing justice with their characters.
I am on episode 8 and cant stop watching till i finish it.
Asur: Welcome to Your Dark Side (2020)
Very well written and executed, less advertised
Story is neatly written and absolute treat for binge watchers. Not too big crisp edited episodes with story hanging right in between and moving across the plot furiously.
9 because did not understand how Kesar is found all of sudden, where the real shubh was hiding in the Finale, but i hope more seasons to come which can uncover those and my rating may change to 10.
Too good for Indian thriller story standards.
Zero (2018)
Nothing goes right in this movie
This could have been a good parody movie of 'First man' or 'Gravity' but unfortunately it is a love story. From somewhere baaua is getting lots of money, somehow he is managing a hell of holi preparation in a night for anushka who is portraying 3rd cousin of stephen hawkins or say 2nd cousin of Eddie redmayne, Katrina did a small good role. If all this is ok for you then in 2nd half Shah rukh khan is going to US all of sudden and then Mars, yes Mars to prove the love he has for Anushka. Ohh poor neil armstrong. Movie gave me headache in 2nd half.
