Sector 36 (2024)
Unfolding Insane Melodrama.
Tone, Script & Story: The story is about children going missing in sector 36 and nearby areas in Delhi.
As shown in the trailer, there is no search for the culprit. It is established since the beginning who it is.
What grabs ones attention is the way how culprit confesses? He has no shame. He is insane and fearless.
The crime involves killing, chopping, consuming, selling organs of innocent individuals. The crime against about 25 people is confessed most of them being children.
The movie is depressing. The culprit has his associate among some bigger name. Despite the confession the culprits are set loose. Further into the investigation an officer is killed additionally. It happens because of involvement of men in power. We can see his missing poster as well.
Acting: Acting from all of the cast is executed well. After 12th fail Vikrant Massey's performance is worth mentioning.
Final Verdict: I wanted a positive ending. The movie is inspired from true events. What are makers trying to convey? Is the horror still existing? I will say watch it if u can accept negative ending and for the captured confession.
Saint Frances (2019)
A really smart and adorable saint.
The story is about a women in her thirty's who befriends a girl when she decides to take a job of her full time nanny.
When I first went through description my mind was clogged by adult centric approach of movie involving abortion and s*x. Diving deep I found the movies name involves a girl who is about to finish her kinder garden, that's where I decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed.
The women in her thirty's is bold. Without a doubt she decides to abort. She is shown to get involved in intimacy with no strings attached attitude. Her partner might feel else.
The girl is bought up in a modern day family. She is adorable and smart. She brings delight whenever her screen presence is shown. During the last moments of movie she really got my emotions going.
Do give this movie a try, you would cherish it.
Stree 2: Sarkate Ka Aatank (2024)
Hilarious comedy, but weak coz of being an installment.
Tone, Script & Story: Stree 2 is sequel to movie Stree which also includes other horror comedy movies from Maddock films. This time horror entity named Sarkata returns. It takes away women who put up with modern lifestyle. Will Vicky, Rudra and team able to help them?
Like in part one there lies a condition of innocent lover to deal with villain. In this part to its same, however I feel it's not Vicky so easily as the characters played by Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Banerjee and Aparshakti Khurana are also good contenders. Don't worry the role is reserved with Vicky (Rajkummar Rao). It however reminded me of Pirates of the Caribbean movie where Calypso is freed by innocent lover. Could it be anybody other than Vicky?
What I liked: The hilarious comedy scenes where even the villan Sarkata was not spared were tremendous.
What I dislike: The story is not strong. It's part of horror comedy universe from Maddock films which include Munjya and Bhediya. I dislike linked movies.
Watch it at home for the hilarious comedy it projects.
Kalki 2898-AD (2024)
Nice tale that continues from Hind mythology.
Tone, Script & Story: The story takes place after 6000 years of Mahabharata where Kalki avatar will be born and revolves around the same. The movie is not complete and viewers will require to wait for sequel.
When I first watched the trailer I thought it would be like Tiger Shroff's Ganpath, but the story precedes with Hindu epics and that's where I now cherish it.
The only thing now bothers me is one will have to wait for sequel.
Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: Superb! The future along with futuristic entities like gravity defying technology, the rich province, the poor colony, the developed characters etc all sooth the viewing experience.
Final Verdict: What I liked the most was how the story was developed, how Kalki will be born, what things would happen. How everything would fall in place? How risen adharma will be challenged (although to know fate one will require to wait for sequel). All of it is woven beautifully.
Do watch it, you won't be disappointed.
Chandu Champion (2024)
An epic tale not lost in history anymore!
Tone, Script & Story: The story is about a person who decides people will remember him same as a medal winner arriving in his village. To be precise he decides to be an Olympic gold medalist. He comes to know that via being in military he will become very close to his dream. It further shows if he will succeed.
As it is shown this movie was an only medium to bring this epic tale to the audience doing justice to champion Murlikant Petkar. He in his life learns three sports only to fulfill his dream. The movie is about will he achieve his dream, but more than that how that would shape village life where he lives.
Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The village, the akhada, the transport, the military camps, the ring, the sports conducting venue, the hospital, etc have all been captured well. A good approach in short.
Music: Above average music that goes well along the movie. Acting: Everyone has acted well. Good casting.
Final Verdict: Some movies show part of story and some are complete. I am a person who likes a complete story. This movie fulfills that craving. It's complete. Do watch it. It's a delight.
Munjya (2024)
Commendable effort.
Tone, Script & Story: The story is about a ghost munjya who is trapped in a tree. The ghost frees when main character visits and it gets hold of him. Now they set on a journey to marry ghost his love or will they able to destroy ghost without consequences.
When I first watched trailer I expected comedy and no lives lost but when you watch movie this jumbles a little. Apart from that its commendable effort. The movie reminded me of movie Roohi which I feel is better made counterpart.
Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: It was good, the ghost, daadi sequences, the adjoining scenarios are really filmed well. One more movie Chota Bheem has been released, is a letdown in this area.
Music: Music is above average. Many people can be find it humming out. Acting: Sometimes the supernatural sequences involving humans seem overdone or dim but budget wise seem okay.
Final Verdict: The movie is eye pleasing and good with songs and scenes. It's a commendable effort to be a full paisa wasool package. Do watch it u won't be disappointed.
Animal (2023)
social ANIMAL - human!
Tone, Script & Story: The story is about an individual who loves his father and is bold in nature. To be specific like what his thoughts are he is an alpha.
When the movie first came out it was highlighted as something without a story. Critics have thrashed the movie. But from what I have watched there is a story that is relation from past trying to take revenge and main lead hunts them down.
To add further the story is well constructed. Why it is called animal, why mentioning alpha, why birthday, how culprits are hunted down, etc.
I would like to mention the trailer shows the movie in the lime light of unnecessary violence, also away from relations and makes one decide not to watch the movie. The move to not release trailer early was great.
Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: It's a movie where romance, relations and bloodshed is seen. There are chances that men will like it more as there are weapons and I would like to mention again bloodshed.
Music: I was not interested in the movie because of critics. Music is one of the main factors what changed my perception. Music is terrific! Acting: Acting is great.
Final Verdict: Do watch it guys you will cherish it, especially men.
Arthur the King (2024)
Misleading trailer!
The movie is about a dog, how he befriends one of the candidates of Adventure Racing played by Mark Wahlberg.
The movie shows how the dog Arthur is injured and could not make it, but this fighter makes it and lives great life with his new family consisting of Mark his wife and children.
The trailer is appealing. However, the star of movie doesn't appear to dominate the screen until interval. If that were not enough the trailer misleads. It says on some instance follow Arthur which is never shown in the movie. The movie would have been terrific if the storyline consisted of Dog Arthur showing them the path ahead.
The movie however is a good account where a dog gets adopted and cured from dangerous wound which were thought to be fatal by vets.
Article 370 (2024)
Abrogation of Article 370 in its final phases.
The description of story is put forward as inspired from true events. It says freeing Jammu and Kashmir from article 370.
My problem with the story: There is full-fledged narration of how a document is faulty even if it is located at home ministry. It were crafted so. I want to know if it was really so as the movie says inspired. If not this should not have been included. If true which I think is not, questions the movie at least in my conscience.
My acceptance with the story: Article 370 was a curse to India. It was a great phase when it was abrogated. It was challenging but the government went with it. It took necessary action so that things don't get out of control. A movie on such event I welcome it.
The movie cherishes women. Mainly, one in journalism, one as a soldier and one as a politician. The story revolves around them. It brings comfort in storytelling. But the thing is it says inspired, where I feel wanting more. Do watch it especially when you want to watch something serious.
Pailwaan (2019)
Why boxing?
The story is about a man who brought up to be an undefeatable wrestler (pahlwaan) in the world of wrestling (kushti). Time however has different plans for him. He becomes a man with a family and leaves wrestling.
Now comes the most beautiful part of movie. The phase as a father. It's portrayed and pictured beautifully.
Later the tables turn and he fights again. As the movie progresses now the main character wants to improve the life of children via sports. He decides to enter boxing. Will he succeed?
I can understand to work certain script is required, but still why boxing. If they would have written and executed something better like wrestling itself I would have been at more ease. That's where the movie loses. Apart from that it's a good watch.
Anbe Sivam (2003)
Heart breaking end makes it stand the test of time.
The story is about two men who meet and fate makes one hand over his entire possession to other without even caring much about it.
What he does would not only make him lose his new companion but also cutting ties from every story which he shared with his friend.
For me it's really heart breaking and that rises a storm in my head, do we know people who put up with such a sacrifice? I can't rate this movie more for I can't sacrifice like Kamal's character.
Kamal acted really well, his character after accident which is stiff and experienced of hardships is really carved out well.
Do watch the movie when you have the mood to watch something sad, the ending will get you on your toes.
Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (2024)
Quite joyful action thriller!
The story is about soldiers one of which has turn rogue as his creation has been termed as ill by others.
What I most liked about the movie was that, it was totally new from events that have really occurred in history. I mean it did not include events like URI or 7-11 as build up story.
To add further it has use of some technology some in use and other superficial into consideration when our beloved country is concerned. There is use of defensive Dome & super Drone technology. There is concept of self-healing clones & EMP devices.
The characters that are built like Tiger, Akshay, tech specialist, etc bring joy to your experience. If you are planning to watch a movie this week do consider it.
Maidaan (2024)
Average encounter that could have been so much more.
The story is an inspired biography of Indian football team coach Syed Abdul Rahim. When I first watched the trailer I was like football and India? But then after researching I found out he was a coach between 1952 and 1962. His greatness can be taken into account by the fact that Indian team has failed to qualify for Olympics since his regime.
The story is what I call an average encounter. It's more of the politics that goes on rather than the game itself. I was looking for more of a relationship between coach and players but that was absent.
I am not big of a gamer especially when it comes to outdoor games. For someone like me a sports movie would do wonders if rules of the prevailing sports are described as well. This movie is no different and it disappoints in that matter. Sad mainly for female audience.
With that said the movie takes u on emotional ride in last minutes. But the question is will you give up your 3 hours for last moments when a 5 minute video about Rahim on YouTube will give you more info than the movie. Watch the movie if your answer is yes.
WrestleMania XL (2024)
Appears mostly fixed but totally worth it!
The men's matches that I think were fixed... Match involving twin USO's, Match for intercontinental championship (Gunther loses against Samy), Match involving bloodline (Saturday (Cody and Seth loses against Roman & Rock)), Match for world heavy weight championship (Seth loses to McIntyre).
Apart from that the ladder match for tag teams, the match involving mysterios, street fight match, Match where LA Night wins against AJ Styles went really well.
Among the above mentioned matches there was not a single match I did not like, except for Saturdays match involving bloodline.
The match I was most upset about was triple threat for US championship (paul vs Randy vs KO, Paul won).
Now comes the most epic match. The match involving the bloodline (Sunday). Guess what? They tried to cheat but failed. We got to see John Cena Undertaker in the making. It were all so cool and fantastic.
Dukaan (2024)
Good but only on partial occasions.
The story is about a surrogate mother who runs away and does not return the child to its rightful owners for four years.
As I watched the trailer without completing it I decided to watch the movie. Sadly it did not go that well.
The elements connect with the audience but only on rare occasions. It is annoying especially when entire group of surrogates come into the picture.
The other thing that makes one think is how so many of surrogates come together to form a company, I mean aren't they rare?
Apart from that there are some good occasions like jasmine and her love life, jasmine explaining the child about mother father and herself, etc.
I also have a problem with name Dukaan. I mean isn't it insulting towards the lovable profession of surrogates.
Give it a watch if you have time.
Vaathi (2023)
Education is important, let the wicked earn via business.
The story is about a professor played by Dhanush who at any terms wants everybody to get educated.
Firstly he convinces the poor to send their children to the government school where he is employed. He emerges successful there and the result is 100 percent. This disturbs the business tycoon who runs private institutes where the result is 70 percent. When the businessman offers prize to government institutes students to say as his own and not Dhanushs (Vaathi, Sir). They don't hesitate and accept it.
This is where the movie bags attention. Actually the students do exactly what their Sir says. For Sir it was not important to win against business tycoon. He just wanted everybody to be educated so that they have something in life to depend on. It may be so people would have wanted the business man to lose but for me the movie wins with such storyline.
Naal 2 (2023)
Quite predictable, still warm & entertaining!
Tone, Script & Story: The movie follows life of Chaitu from first part. Although most elements are modified. The story is how Chaitu comes closer to her real sister Chimi. Chimi is young as compared to Chaitu.
Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The beauty in the villages during rainy season is breath taking. The green farms, the kachha houses, the fort, the well, etc. Turn out to be quite an eye candy.
Acting: As last time chaitu won with his performance, this time chimi is the one who excels. Others did quite well like in last part.
Final Verdict: As the movie progressed it became quite predictable that it would end with Rakhi scene. Despite that involvement of child artists in the story made it a warm and entertaining experience.
Chithha (2023)
Imagine if every women had such man for them!
The story is mainly about a girl (Sundari) and her uncle (chittha, chachu). They have their life peacefully going. When one day Sundari goes missing. When they find her (thankfully) alive her uncle decides to take law in his own hands by killing and torturing the culprit all by himself.
I don't understand about languages in south. This movie came to me as hindi dubbed and 8+ rating with slight description on IMDb. It had my attention right from beginning.
When I watched the movie I felt terrible that law would be generous to the culprits. What happened later was something that satisfied my ego. The uncle decides to torture and kill the culprit all by himself.
I just want to say if all the criminals who are involved in such crime are dealt with the way Sundari's uncle does the fear would arise and women would be safe to a better extent.
With that said do watch this movie. An extra point to satisfy my ego.
Laapataa Ladies (2023)
Only bad: "Pushpa Rani's" part of script.
Tone, Script & Story: The story is about two women, one of which is lost unknowingly and another one of what seems lost on purpose.
When we watch the movie the women named Jaya appears fraud until she portrays her name as Pushpa rani. Its only when the movie progresses we come to know the movie is clean of absurd (chori-chakari) elements from the side of both women.
Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: I came to know this was directorial debut of Kiran Rao. It was please worthy. The elements involving bidaai (sasural, bike ride, train, village, etc) along with others (police station, railway station, railway stop, constructions) were captured.
Acting: The casting was suitably carried out. Although I liked Phools part more as compared to Jaya simply because of nature of may be crime involved kind of script. Finally I was happy how it ended. A great watch in short.
Maharshi (2019)
What if macho image is compromised?
The story is about Rishi who excels in every field he lays his hands upon. The story highlights his college days, his career as a CEO of a trillion dollar company and finally why he quits his job.
The story secondly aims at story of his friend Ravi and his circumstances and his emotional connection with Rishi, his land and others.
The story initially highlights Rishi's dad in bad circumstances but it finally shows why he was a winner as well.
Now my problem: Why it has to be a macho image that wins? Why can't anybody with regular image win in the process? I understand masala sells more but I wish if the script works well in rather circumstance. This movie has an ending which could be possible by rather a wealthy CEO so that's a win.
Other thing that movie did to me was flooding my emotions on more than one occasion. It got me.
Farmers are lifeline of every living person. The system can work if one or other things is not available but not food. They should be made non-fearing when their work is considered. Everyone should be made aware how and what goes into growing what we eat.
Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai (2023)
Deserving punishment enforced!
The story is regarding a dharam guru who under all his human activities cloaks all vulgar and illegal practices. But not this time when a minor decides to go all against him in court.
When I first saw the movie initially I thought the Baba should not be given rigorous sentence as ra*e did not involve penetration.
Later in the movie however the advocate explains by telling the story of Ravana why the baba was all for the crimes he did. The thing is he did this to more than one person. He did this under cloak of a dharam guru. To add further innocent witnesses were killed as well.
Final Verdict: A criminal's crime is even bigger if he hides it under face of someone who the world looks up to for guidance. Life imprisonment was absolute for crimes he did, but what about witnesses who were killed.
12th Fail (2023)
Drives in lot of hope for potential aspirants!
Tone, Script & Story: The story is about a man from Chambal who fails twelfth but becomes an IPS officer after cracking UPSC in his fourth attempt. The story is warm and bring tears to viewer's eyes in final moments.
At first I was on a rigid view that a twelfth fail cannot crack UPSC but then it occurred the movie is inspired from real events. Also why it cannot after all, of lakhs why can't one of them shine in such a way.
Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The village, the library, places where main character worked-lived, where they hanged out, coaching, etc all have been captured well.
Music is average. Acting is commendable. A real deal of honest performances.
Final Verdict: There is hope for everyone. The movie brings joy to all competitive aspirants.
Pataakha (2018)
Be cool like Sunil Grover :D!
Tone, Script & Story: The story is of two sisters jo ek dusre ko ek aankh nahi bhaate. The thing is their rivalry is keeping them going in the long run. At the end of story they understand this and get their forever peace.
The story is not that appealing but the genre, action comedy is. The fights between the sisters and description by Sunil are what is appealing.
Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The village, the school, the dairy, the mine, the mela, etc are captured well. Music: Music is good, it goes well with the movie. Acting: Acting is fine too.
Final Verdict: Be cool like Sunil Grover.
Mast Mein Rehne Ka (2023)
Watch it to know its beauty!
Tone, Script & Story: There are more than one stories here running in parallel, mainly an old age man, an old age women and a tailor. The tailor's story includes a women, a costume contractor, a helper who helps him in lodging and a mafia that rents him home. All these stories mostly at some time clash with other.
One of the things that caught my attention was how old age woman that were full of life clashes with old man and refers to him as madrasi. There's one of my friends who refers to one of my other friends as Bajaj. Although we are not old. I hope they read this review.
The words that I am pinning down for this movie are not enough to highlight its superiority. If I pen it down it would be a spoiler. It is terrific drama. You have to watch it to know its beauty.
Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: Tailors residence, dhaba, rehearsal house, bus, old people residences, bar, etc are all captured well.
Music: Music is average that resonates well along with the movie. Acting: Acting too is top notch, be it Neena, Jackie, Rakhi or others.
Final Verdict: It came to my attention that very few people have rated it on IMDb which meant only few have watched it. Watch it guys you won't be disappointed.
Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue (2023)
With top notch cast we get one gem of drama!
Tone, Script & Story: The story revolves around rescue operation undertaken under the leadership of Jaswant Gill. With his wit he is successful in bringing back 65 coal mill workers trapped in Raniganj, West Bengal.
The drama catches your attention. In the review one might feel the story would be highly predictable but you need to see movie to know how peculiarly it's developed.
Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The office, the crowd, the rescue scenario, the coal mine, etc all went well with story line. I would like to mention the drama that occurs in mine takes movie to another level.
Music: Music was average that went well with the movie.
Acting: The casting was superb. Everyone in acting department aced. Congratulations to Akshay for adding one more gem to his account.
Final Verdict: The movie is much better what one could assume from trailer. With top notch cast we get one gem of drama that reflects one of the incidence occurred in history.
