Love Hard
(2021)

No chemistry
It is a simple watch along movie with some funny moments in between.

The movie is supposed to be romantic but you do not really see the sparks between the lead character somehow. When you as audience watching romantic movie, you still have a doubt at end to see if girl really loves him, or it is decision that happened after guilt. Also with Ted too could not see much spark as well. It could have been a very beautiful movie but failed somewhere in between. Can be one time watch but will not miss anything on skipping.

Other characters did their part well. Especially Lin's family. There were some good moments to watch.

Animal
(2023)

Great cinematic experience but problems with what it represents
This movie is cinematically so great. Well acted, scenes full of emotion, well edited, good cameos and also good action scenes. Overall great experience to watch in threater. Do not think it will be same feeling in OTT.

It does represent alpha male concept as every one is talking. But one thing I would say is it does not try to glorify that. While watching movie we all feel like Ranbir is psycho obsessed with his father and also as a viewer it does not try to convince me that it is write for what Ranbir did. I still feel like Ranbir was wrong at so many level and did so many wrong things. I did not feel glorified. Movie trying to compare alpha male concept with animal instinct and not saying it should be normal human. We have evolved so much like human and we act differently but in parallel universe if we were like animal we would act like in the movie. I think that is what movie is trying to say.

800
(2023)

Good movie but has it's shortcomings
Thanks for making movie about muralidharan who is an absolute legend and deserves more respect than what he got. Movie does well not just showing sports but showing various aspects of his life and corresponding to different events in srilanka.

But overall movie lacked on flow. You don't feel like movie was flowing very nicely. Also I could not see impact of Murali life changed after success. Till end you feel like Murali is struggler which he was not. Movie failed to show the icon he became after success. Also Mittal great actor but I remember Murali as always a smiling person but Mittal always looked stressed with sad expression in the movie. Also he still looked almost same young on retirement time as well. Like he was looking like a junior to Sangakara/Mahela in movie end scenes. Cricket game VFX very poor too.

But would recommend watching this movie for screenplay and to know scenario murali grew.

Atrangi Re
(2021)

Dhanush shines in every scene
I don't know how to describe this movie. I feel like it's kind of movie some people will love and some will not like. I liked the movie. Climax though predictable is well versed. And with back ground music of AR Rahman movie gets beautiful many times. Some movies are kind of artistic set which takes us to different zone while watching and some relates to daily living. The movie kind of got stuck in between, would have been better if kind of got to artistic set.

Dhanush shines every moment. It feels so good to watch his acting. He himself made the movie 100 times better.

Good movie for me but I think it would not be everybody's taste.

Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar
(2023)

The movie that is dishonest to itself
There is a reason why bollywood is losing its virtue. The movie tries to address current relationship complexity based on humor. The story it is trying show is current generation issue. But how can movie be so vague and just looking for bollywood ending after bringing such issuee. It is total paradox in itself. Things that does not make sense in story line itself as below.

Shraddha who wants personal space and wanted out of relationship as Rabin was too much involved in familu, opts for marriage after whole family breaks to airport and proposes her

Ranbir proudly tries to explain that his family are not like that and does not invade after literally whole movie they were trying to invade in shardda's space

Shraddha proudly shouting at Ranbir that he was lier while she was the one who did major lie and tried to reach con man first

If a movie carries relevant issue, why not end in relevant way. Bollywood at its best.

Dil Se..
(1998)

Would have been classic if had shown respect in name of love rather than creepiness
The movie promises to be a epic movie but fails mainly due to two reasons. The first half scenes of SRK chasing Manisha looks really creepy, it literally looks like stalking and harassment. They just took it too far in name of love. And 2nd reason is 2nd half of movie is unnecessarily lengthy.

If you remove these 2 parts, then the movie is classic. Great song. Great story. Great actors. And I cannot describe how gorgeous and beautiful Manisha Koirala was after watching this movie. This movie should have been larger than SRK but they focussed too much on showing his acting skills by making him desperate guy.

Jaari
(2023)

A movie to remember
Jaari movies carries cultural reflection of eastern Nepali community with time reference of couples of decade ago. The movie is simple but beautiful. Most strong aspect of this movie is acting. Dayahang rai and Miruna Nagar nail the lead roles. Supporting characters also talented. Most of scenes look natural. Overall it is a well made movie. Able to reflect life of rural mountains of Nepal. Movie also has some humour scenes in between.

One thing to note is this film is not a mass entertainer genre. Movie does gets slow at some point. But overall experience is good. And well thought climax as well.

Pathaan
(2023)

Definately overhyped
I would expect pathaan to be above average hit movie but not a blockbuster hit. Watched in OTT, may be movie was way better in theater with all those action scenes.

Shahrukh Khan definitely has worked hard for this movie, great physique, style and always a awesome actor. But in movie where is he supposed to be a spy, he is really a bad spy I would say where movie loses all the plot. Whole movie John Abraham has been over him and almost stole the show. No any spy things to overcome the main villain just some random fight where also John kind of gives him chance.

The action scenes so exxagerated, especially train falling scene. Where they jump each train car to bridge is so awkward to watch as you can see it's impossible.

But movie has some good action and adventure sequences which gives you some thrill.

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
(2013)

Simply Beautiful
Only thing I would complain is the movie name. Why could not they come up with some beautiful name for this beautiful movie instead of something silly like this.

I had not watched this movie earlier thinking it is one of those Ranbir movies with light story. But I was simply amazed by watching it.

The first part of movie so instantly connects us to the deepika's character. Deepika is such a superb actor and so gorgeous. And it simply drives us through some magic moments, those moments are though exaggerated as part of dharma movie but we can relate to.

And 2nd part of movie, we find ourselves more inverted in Ranbir's character. This movie is such a breeze to watch. Emotionally full of love and feel good moments. And ranbir's scene at the end touched me. It is really feel good movie.

Both Ranbir and Deepika nailed in the movie. But deepika looks more natural.

Cirkus
(2022)

Basically chaos based comedy movie
If you remember Rohit Shetty movie 'All the best', this is similar kind of comedy movie with similar supporting cast. Kind of senseless comedy movie that leaves no marks in future. Only catch is All the best was way funnier. Still cirkus has some funny moments. It's plot is very simple so you don't need to stress your brain watching it. There are many situations which does not make sense but these movies work sometimes when you are tired and does not want to watch some sensible movie and stress out.

Definitely not 1/2 star movie. 5/6 would be ideal justice, neither deserves more than that. Can be watched one time only if you are fan of chaos comedy.

Bullet Train
(2022)

The movie does it's job of entertaining you
The movie is really entertaining. So many things happening in the bullet train keeps you at edge of seat and you are just curious for what will happen next. Action, comedy and mystery at same time.

This is not gonna be a legendary movie that people will remember after years but it perfectly does it job of entertaining people. You will not get bored during whole movie and it never gets slow like the bullet train.

Also another great thing about the movie is how each character has its own story and movie gives you their background story. Also they stay in their character how lemon likes to be a talker and all.

You will not regret watching this movie once but done expect anything legendary.

Kantara
(2022)

Awesome movie experience
The movie stands out in theatre. Rarely you get so touched by movie experience like this. The initial part and climax of movie is so powerful it will blow your mind.

But the middle part is pretty mediocre and may be little bit stretched. And I think thats what made the movie to sink little bit in OTT platform.

Acting is brilliant especially from lead characters. Also movie makes you sink right in to the culture and livelihood of the involved communities. Cinematography brilliant, background score up to par. Overall great movie experience with some hiccups in the middle. Also the song Varaharoopam hits different.

Dobaaraa
(2022)

Let's be honest, its better than current rating
The movie is remake of Spanish movie which I have not watched.

Actually the story is pretty engaging and keeps on toe and we want to know how it goes further. Tapsee does her job well. 1st half is really interesting, movie gets little wobbly towards the end but still does not go bad. I would say its worth for one time watching.

Few things which could have been better is may be editing towards end. It's mystery movie but becomes somewhat predictable toward the 2nd half. The movie might have benefited from better cast in some of the main roles. I don't know. Why the movie is so badly slammed in rating. Ideally, I would rate this movie around 7 I guess but giving 8 to even out the bad ratings lil bit.

Avatar: The Way of Water
(2022)

Visual treat to the eyes, story so so
This is kind of watch in theater or not watch at all kind of movie. It's a unparallel experience of cinematography if you are watching this movie in theater. I watched in IMAX 3D and never before I was this much mesmerized by visual effects.

But movie falls behind in story line. Story is pretty much predictable and not much engaging and movie literally stops flowing at some point and then recovers again. But would definitely recommend this movie for theater experience.

Also as a average viewer, sometimes I got confused between different characters as they look similar sometimes but it was not big issue.

Mirzapur
(2018)

Entertaining
Its a entertaining series, keeps you engaged, with lots of things going on
