Based on true events, "The Railway Men" is a must-watch series that delves into the harsh realities of third-world countries and the exploitation they face from the first world. Drawing some parallels with the impactful Chernobyl, it's crucial not to compare the two, as each unfolds its unique dynamics.

The director has executed a phenomenal job, although the narrative experiences a slight dip in the middle, which is redeemed by the strong performances of the ensemble cast. Kay Kay Menon once again delivers an exceptional portrayal, living up to the high expectations associated with his name.

A notable mention goes to Babil Khan, who exudes the captivating vibes reminiscent of his late father, Irrfan Khan. It's evident that this talented young actor is set to carve his own path and carry forward his father's legacy.

"The Railway Men" manages to capture the essence of its subject matter, providing viewers with a thought-provoking experience. It's a commendable effort that not only sheds light on the exploitation faced by third-world countries but also showcases the resilience and strength of those enduring such challenges.

Honestly Part one was the ultimate best followed by a good second part after which the series become Cliched and had nothing new to offer.

Here goes my review for SAW X.

Saw X continues the series in a predictable, cliched manner. While Tobin Bell's compelling presence adds value, the weak screenplay and average plot hinder the overall impact. Despite its mediocrity, the film's bizarre, unsettling, and bloody scenes offer a unique cinematic experience. One might give it a shot solely for the bizarre and unsettling gaming sequences SAW is known for, to experience that distinct cinematic feel. Otherwise, it is very much skippable.

Certain novels are crafted to captivate readers, encouraging them to immerse themselves in the complex worlds of the characters and only limit it when bring into to the life for the screen. Same is the case of "The Devotion of Suspect X," which has been adapted into the Hindi film Jaane Jaan.

Despite Sujoy Ghosh's been acclaimed director, the film falls somewhat short of expectations in the mystery thriller genre. As the story unfolds, it becomes sluggish and the demise is not that convincing or satisfying as one would hope for in a mystery thriller. Mysteries and thrillers often thrive on delivering a compelling and unexpected conclusion to connect all the puzzle pieces.

Jaideep Ahlawat shines with his powerful performance, supported well by Kareena Kapoor Khan, who makes a decent debut in the world of OTT. Vijay Verma also manages to make his presence felt, despite the limited depth of his character. A special mention must go to the cinematographer for their outstanding work.

Overall it is a onetime watch if you have nothing else to do.

Vijay Verma's portrayal in a protagonist role is an absolute delight and a refreshing change for fans who have eagerly awaited his evolution as an actor. His performance truly shines in this series, adding depth and authenticity to the character.

This series can be aptly described as more of a compelling mystery than a typical thriller. The narrative masterfully centers around the quest to unveil the perpetrator responsible for the horrifying acid attack. The simplicity of the storyline is, in fact, its strength, allowing for a well-crafted, focused, and emotionally charged plot.

One of the highlights of this series is the return of Yashpal Sharma, who graces the screen after a significant hiatus. Additionally, Gopal Dutt's transformation into a more serious character is a pleasant surprise, showcasing his versatility as an actor.

Overall, the series proves to be a highly engaging and addictive watch, making it a perfect choice for avid binge-watchers. Its ability to grip the audience with its intriguing mystery and strong performances is a testament to its quality.

"While this review demands more detail, contrary to my usual practice of keeping it short and crisp, let's give it a try." Zoya Akhtar is known for the portrayal of riche rich kind of a lifestyles and the unique challenges faced by the wealthy elite.

This theme continues in the second season of "Made in Heaven," where the show delves even deeper into its exploration of contemporary social issues.

In terms of overall entertainment value, the series maintains the high standards set by its first season. However, it's important to note that opinions may differ, and some viewers might find themselves deeply engaged while others might find it more offensive or immoral with the characters' storylines.

One of the standout aspects of the series is the struggles faced by its characters within their own realm. These struggles may or may not directly resonate with the audience, but they nonetheless manage to pique interest.

I'd like to commend Mona Singh and Trinetra Haldar for their exceptional performances in their respective roles. Their contributions truly elevate the show.

The narrative lacked excitement, and for the first time, MI6 appeared surprisingly clueless. The film's foundation rested on Gal Gadot, yet regrettably, her performance failed to make a significant impact throughout the entire two-hour duration.

My anticipation for Alia Bhatt's Hollywood debut was palpable, only to be met with a sense of dissatisfaction as the characters she portrayed weren't the type her fan base, including myself, had eagerly anticipated. Alia possesses a remarkable range as an actor, eclipsing Gal Gadot in terms of versatility. However, this particular role failed to provide her the opportunity to truly shine, due to its constrained and limited nature.

In conclusion, the movie left me yearning for more engagement and a greater demonstration of acting prowess, particularly from Alia Bhatt. It's a missed opportunity in the realm of on-screen potential and storytelling.

Keeping all controversies aside, the state's seriousness towards the performing arts genre becomes evident through the Directors' three-minute message before the film begins.

The movie started off with a powerful and engaging introduction, capturing the audience's attention from the beginning. However, as the story progressed, it seemed to lose its direction, and the film began to unfold shot by shot without a cohesive narrative, leaving the viewers somewhat perplexed.

Despite the film's weak storytelling, it was evident that the plot held great potential, presenting a captivating premise. Regrettably, this struggle with storytelling is a recurring issue that many Pakistani films face. It is essential for filmmakers to enhance their narrative techniques and pacing to fully realize the potential of their stories.

Amidst the film's shortcomings, the performances by Arif Hasan as Rahat Khawaja and Samiya Mumtaz as his wife were truly commendable. Arif Hasan's portrayal of Rahat Khawaja exuded strength and conviction throughout, while Samiya Mumtaz's portrayal of his wife added a touch of warmth to the movie. Their chemistry was delightful and proved to be the main highlight of the film.

In conclusion, while the film's promising beginning and stellar performances contributed to its appeal, the lack of a cohesive and well-developed storyline hindered its overall impact.

For over two decades, we've been watching Mission Impossible series, and certain elements remain timeless whether Tom Cruise's magnetic charm with the ladies or his relentless running that keeps our hearts pounding. Despite the latest installment not reaching the series' peak, one cannot help but applaud Cruise's unwavering dedication, even as we come to terms with our all-time hero aging gracefully.

The concept of rogue AI can be a double-edged sword, as we've seen in Avengers: Age of Ultron. It's a delicate balance to create a faceless protagonist, and it might not resonate with everyone at first. While I found it less impressive than other aspects but it certainly wasn't a letdown either.

Overall it was a decent watch. It may not have hit all the high notes, but it kept us entertained and reminded us why Tom Cruise remains a force to be reckoned with in the action genre.

Bawaal exceeded my expectations, proving to be a delightful surprise that left a lasting impression. Nitesh Tiwari adds another feather to his directorial cap with this captivating film.

The movie's strongest aspect was undoubtedly its compelling story, which held my attention from start to finish. Nitesh Tiwari's skillful storytelling techniques kept me engaged, and the well-crafted narrative unfolded beautifully on screen.

One of the highlights of Bawaal was Varun Dhawan's genuine and heartfelt acting. He effortlessly portrayed the character, infusing it with depth and emotion, making it easy for the audience to connect with him. Jahnvi Kapoor also left a mark with her noteworthy performance, ensuring her presence was felt throughout the entire movie.

The supporting cast, including the talented Manoj Pahwa, delivered stellar performances, adding layers of authenticity and charm.

The movie's impact was such that it deserves a theatrical release.

Fast X stretches the already far-fetched franchise to its limits with nonsensical actions and an overemphasis on mindless action. Characters die and miraculously return with every new movie no wonder Vin Diesel would bring Paul Walker for the finale part. Jason Momoa's villainous role showcases his screen presence but uncomfortably resembles the Joker, lacking originality. The film becomes a below-average entry, offering nothing new to revitalize the series. It disregards physics entirely, pushing the boundaries of believability to absurd extremes. Fast and Furious 10 relies heavily on familiar tropes, delivering a predictable, formulaic experience.

The Bollywood version of Vikram Vedha starts off strong with a promising premise, but unfortunately, it fails to deliver a satisfying climax. The film features solid performances by Saif Ali Khan and Hrithik Roshan, but their characterizations seemed to be a weak point in the movie. Saif's character started off well, but towards the end, it became overly naive, making me wonder if this cop was really that foolish. On the other hand, Hrithik's character started off clumsy but became more gripping as the story progressed towards the end.

Despite the strong performances, the climax saga was beyond the logic of the story and ruined the preamble created in the beginning. It felt like the Bollywood version was trying too hard to be like its successful South Indian predecessor.

After a long wait, the Guardians of the Galaxy have returned with their third installment, and James Gunn has once again delivered a movie that will keep you entertained from start to finish. The perfect balance between humor and heart is one of the things I loved about this movie. It is filled with laugh-out-loud moments, emotional scenes and catchy background music that will have you tapping your feet. The chemistry between the actors is fantastic, and they all deliver good performances. The only downside was the movie's length, which felt a bit stretched.

Overall, it was a well-spent Sunday.

Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves is a good one-time watch that is sure to appeal to adventure genre fans. While it deviates from the cartoon series, the movie's adventure sequences are well-done and thrilling, especially when viewed in the cinema. The screen play is tight and the editing is crisp, which deserves a special mention. Michelle Rodriguez delivers a standout performance with top-notch action scenes, complemented by Chris Pine's charisma. However, Hugh Grant's charm seemed missing. Overall, the movie is a great option for those looking for an entertaining adventure story.

Looking forward to sequels.

Unlike other critics, I thoroughly enjoyed Ghosted. The chemistry between Chris Evans and Ana de Armas was electric and made for an engaging and enjoyable watch. The screenplay was tight and kept the plot moving at a steady pace, with the added bonus of some great cameos. And the use of Uptown Funk during the climactic fight scene was an unexpected and fun addition that really clicked all the right spots.

Overall, Ghosted was a pleasant surprise and a must-watch for fans of action-comedies. Don't let the negative reviews dissuade you from checking it out - you might just find yourself pleasantly surprised.

The Pope's Exorcist is another cliched horror movie that fails to offer anything new or innovative to the genre. The story revolves around the same old tired tropes of a haunted mansion, a family moving in, and a malevolent ghost targeting a child. The film lacks any jump scares or truly scary moments, relying instead on tired and predictable horror clichés.

Even the presence of Russell Crowe fails to elevate the film, as he is given a limited scope of work and ultimately cannot save the movie from its own mediocrity. The Pope's Exorcist is a disappointing addition to the horror genre and fails to bring anything new or worthwhile to the table.

"Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always" attempts to create nostalgia for fans of the original 90s series but fails to evoke any significant impact. Despite being released in 2023, the movie seems to have not evolved much from its original roots. The outdated VFX, recycled stories, and predictable character behavior are some of the underwhelming aspects of the movie.

The loose screenplay and average acting do little to elevate the movie beyond its nostalgic appeal. Die-hard fans of the original series may appreciate the callbacks and references to the past, but even the nostalgia factor seems half-cooked.

Overall, "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always" may satisfy some fans looking to relive their childhood memories, but it falls short of creating a compelling story and fails to connect with modern audiences.

One of the finest film I've come a crossed recently. Although watching it in 2020 makes its plot very familiar with Unorthodox teacher inspiring his students to make their lives extraordinary by the phrase Carpe Diem i.e. seize the day and on the contrary parents having different plans and ambitions for their children's, yet the brilliant narration and picturization makes it different from other movies still in 2020 with same idea which you'll definitely agree after watching this movie . Peter Weir's storytelling is very engaging followed by some catchy background score which ignites the emotions instantly especially in the climax scene. Robin Williams as John Keating, the Teacher narrating poetries and making it relevant to the common life struggles etc. is just brilliant, by the end of the movie you'll definitely sympathize for the character and chances are you might actually end up with tears just as I did and that defines the sheer class of Late Robin Williams. Supporting cast i.e. the young group of students at that time not so young today were very convincing, they nailed it with their own stories and things happening around them and their connection with their teacher who once freaked them out. Despite of some hell of the performances and smart direction, film's strongest part is indeed its writing and credit should've been given to Tom Schulman, actually credit has already been given to him as he secured Academy Award for this movie, Although the plot is familiar in 2020 but imagine 1989 when film got released pitching this kind of story for the first time ........ In the end I would conclude it by stating that film is thought provoking and hits you hard with its idea and emotional notion which it creates convincingly within 2hour and 10mins of its run time.

Very familiar premise as far as espionage is concerned but still film stands out with some brilliant story telling by Guy Ritchie . Ritchie's film has some sort of subtleness, you'll see high tension scenes directed beautifully in a close calmly manner where sheer importance is been given to the one on one talks between the protagonist and the antagonist rather loaded with heavy violent scenes. He has some classy ways to get things done and that is his USP. Elizabeth Debicki as main antagonist looks gorgeous, cunning & Bad Ass I actually loved her as the tall gorgeous villain. Armie Hammer is indeed a versatile actor every time I watch his movies he always has something new to offer and My God how tall he is like Henry Cavill was looking short Infront of him I mean the guy is our Superman :P nevertheless Cavill as Napoleon Solo is heart-throb he was Smart, Charming, Handsome basically everything a fictional spy can be. The love hate chemistry between Cavill & Hammer is something to look for. If you've not seen this movie yet I recommend you to watch it at your earliest.

Based on true story how an eight year old Saroo got lost from his family and after struggling for number of months experiencing some hell of a journey finally ended up in Australia adopted by a caring family. Storytelling, Direction, Cinematography everything works for this movie making its audience to connects with the movie right from the start however it looked little dragged somewhere in the middle of the second half but it can be ignored as the idea and picturization is very strong there. Talking about the performances Nicole Kidman was brilliant it was indeed very good to see her in a role other then being glamorous. Dev Patel as usual delivered an intense performance he nailed the character effortlessly. Now talking about the star of the movie Sunny Pawar, who already impressed me in Chippa and did it again in this however Lion was released earlier then Chippa. From Slums to Oscars Sunny has done it and he deserves every bit of it as in this small age he is sharing screens with Nicole Kidman, Dev Patel & Nawazuddin Siddqui and making his presence felt which is indeed an achievement surely em his Fan and you'll be too

Talking about the western cinema, they always provide their audiences with fascinating, interesting and thought-provoking premises followed by their brilliant storytelling and extra ordinarily visualization and "The Boys" is the recent addition to it. What makes "The Boys" so special and unique is its premise based on the Comic Book it gives the unorthodox concept for Superheroes. As since the inception of superheroes genre we've seen and we've been told that Superheroes sole job is to protect humanity from antagonists which popularly includes Terrorist organizations or Aliens who have nothing but sole agenda to destroy the world and in return they want nothing but peace and safety of this world. Now that's before the arrival of "The Boys" who gives the counter narration that what if the superheroes we admire, we love and we look forward to are being handled by the corporates and to clear it further let's say that any state of USA shows the upward movement in crime figures, so this organization known as Vought will just approach the State's mayor and offer them one of their employed Superhero to fight with crime against a heavy amount as their remuneration. Not only that they have their own Media, Brand and Business Development team to handle and promote their employed Superheroes and to cash them accordingly. Things get more darker as series develops with whole superhero concept of saving humanity is being flushed down and showcases the idea what if Superheroes gets corrupted and their sole mission is to serve their employers rather their people and for that they can do whatever it takes even on the expense of peoples life. That's only one aspect, series gets further darker but to avoid spoilers I'll just stop here and leave that on you to further watch and experience it by yourself. Full marks to the creators of the show who has given the unpopular concept a new direction and people have already liked the show including positive reviews from the critiques, Talking about the performances, the cast is not familiar at least to me except Simon Pegg, who have nothing but a cameo role. Leads are simply brilliant and to mention some of them is actually due in their credit so lets start with Karl Urban as Billy Buthcher he is BAdAss and Ruthless, Antony Starr as Homelander leading the superhero team he is just brilliant as unpredictable shady Superhero, Elizabeth Shue as leading corporate lady is very convincing with her looks and cunning nature, Jack Quaid as Hughie a young simple common guy is adorable and last but not the least Erin Moriarty as Annie aka "Starlight" a good Superhero and lovely to watch also she actually resembles with Selena Gomez so the whole series I've watched her as if she's Selena Gomez also knowing that she's not. The series is comprised on 8 episodes with almost 1 hour of runtime each and is being streaming on Amazon Prime since 2019. You can binge it over the weekend and just to give the readers a heads-up the season 1 of the series has been ended on an interesting turn of events and Season 2 is due in the second half of 2020 which is September 2020 and has already been renewed for season 3 due to its popularity with the audience which I'm saying because as of today it has the IMDB rating of 8.7. So yes, just stream it online and do share your comments about it.

As stated in the premise section the film is about the team of immortal mercenaries who use to help and safe people since many centuries not showed but stated in the movie and now in this era of technology and world being a global village they struggle to keep their identity secret. A young Pharma CEO wishes to experiment on them and wish to decode their DNA's apparently for the sake of Humanity which as always not the case and Evil is always there to f''k things up. Film looked half cooked as not much of a details provided about their inception but just little glimpses of past which were interesting, hoping that in future I would get more from it as ending promises other installments. Also I feel that it would've been more better if Netflix had opted for web series comprised over 3 to 4 seasons rather then a feature movie but I guess this might have caused them Theron out of the project. Action sequences were well choreographed I liked the fusion of Sword & guns. Charlize Theron doing all the heavy liftings looked gorgeous badass woman with her effortless action sequences which always look eye pleasing and an Old Guard is no different. Overall the film has yet to answer many questions and I hope with its interesting premise I would get to explore more about the immortals from its future sequels.

Different and unique as far as the story telling is concerned as it is not like a regular crime mystery. The perspective here shown by Morten Tyldum is the emotional and traumatic journey or I may call it an emotional saga from which an accused and his family goes through. The investigative part is very less to literally none which was the actual risk taken by the creators and not taking the creative liberties apart from the book which might be a reason why this series got mixed reviews. As far as performances were concerned the story revolves around a family i.e. Mother, Father & Son and three of them were brilliant in their roles. Chris Evans as resilient father, Michelle Dockery as emotional, lone & doubtful mother and finally the accused son played by Jaeden Martell a teenage coldblooded darky character he was simply effortless. Overall you might feel the series a bit stretchy and its conclusion might not satisfy you but one thing which will keep you intact with this series is the performances by its lead.

Ramy Hassan is a first-generation Egyptian-American who is on a spiritual journey in his politically divided New Jersey neighborhood. The show is not solely about Ramy but about his whole family where Ramy's parents and uncle trying to maintain their Islamic values and morals while living in America and constantly interfering and taking charge of their children's life i.e. Ramy and his sister Dena who are in their 20's. Ramy despite of being enthusiast being a proper practicing Muslim but yet constantly indulge himself to do things which are forbidden in Islam specifically Liquor drinking and Sex before marriage. The show depicts the traditional conservative family which is linked directly with their religion to which I don't fully agree rather its about the culture which by the way is Egyptian. However the show is definitely a watch you might agree with many things and disagree to others but it is good to see the mainstream show not portraying Muslims as bad people but......!! Ramy Youssef in and as Ramy is watch worthy you might relate with him many times when he is in situations with moral dilemmas. The show is indeed underrated but has already got acclaim from the critique's including Ramy getting a golden globe for his portrayal of Ramy Hassan. I request you if you're watching this show make sure it is rather from entertainment perspective and not to hurt your religious or moral sentiments.

It is always good and relaxing to go back to the subtle, slow & calm movies when you are a reviewer and constantly indulge into fast paced Action, Thrillers, Adventures, Fantasies etc. Movies like Sir are not being made solely for commercial gains but the idea is to depict realities in a beautifully articulated art form. Sir is simple and calm with runtime of 1hour 39mins no loudness or high tension scenes which is indeed the USP of the movie. Film showcases how strong a woman can be despite of everything going against her, breaking the stereotypes of being a weaker gender Women's are actually the opposites they are always ready to challenge the circumstances, fighting against the odds and ready to sacrifice whole a lot just for the sake of society, acting mature. On the other hand, film has also showed that what Men's actually want from a women and that is just being cared, someone who understand them and being there for them in their downs all the other things like beauty, status etc. are the secondary things. Both the leads Tillotama Shome & Vivek Gomber were in the charatcers throughout, they were natural neither less nor extra they just nailed it beautifully. Both the story & narration by Rohena Gera are simple yet engaging. Don't go for this movie if you like fast paced, commercial films because you wont gonna find anything in this and you might get bored .

The film has 3 segments all revolving around Susan Morrow played by Amy Adams i.e. present time when she's married second time yet alone , The past when she met her first husband who was writer and she married him against all the odds and yet left him for the same reasons and the Novel part which is dedicated to her in the present time by her Ex-Husband which she's reading and connecting it with her past failed relationship, now I know its little complex when you're reading but when you'll see the movie you'll not find it confusing which is because of the fine visual and narrative skill of the director Tom Ford. Apart form good Narrative & Visual the film is also watch worthy for the performances by Amy Adams, Gyllenhall & Michael Shannon. Also there are some underwhelming aspects which I felt including the abrupt ending as no definitive end was given to all the three segments, many questions remained un-answered. The thriller part was predictive but still picturized beautifully with respect to the occurrence of the events and some watch worthy cinematography
