Laal Singh Chaddha
(2022)

Falsely crucified!
Despite all the controversies, I decided to give this movie a watch and it didnt disappoint.

Laal Singh Chaddha is a hindi remake of the famous Forrest Gump movie which was played to perfection by Tom Hanks. Comparing the two, would of course lead to disappointment. But on its own, Laal singh chaddha is a heartwarming and moving film about a different individual with an open mind and huge heart.

Aamir Khan has delivered his brilliant acting(as usual), Mona Singh was also great. Kareena Kapoor did well in her role, but nothing extraordinary.

Naga Chaitanya's cameo was great too!

The soundtrack is also nice, with some good photography work as well.

The movie is a family entertainer and i highly recommend to watch it in theatres.

Interesting!
Lal Jose manages to deliver a good picture with a young new cast coupled with good acting, thrills and exhilarating BGM to match.

The movie despite being 2h 43m long, at no point feels dragging or boring, but manages to keep you guessing on the edge of your seat for the entire duration.

There were some brilliantly shot scenes amazing capturing the beauty of the city that is Kochi.

The two leading ladies carry the movie on their shoulders alongwith a powerful second half from Joju George.

All in all, a complete family entertainer which should be watched in theatres to capture the entire essence of!! Good work Lal Jose and team!

Bhramam
(2021)

Half baked
Had such high expectations for this movie, but ultimately let down in the end.

1. Prithviraj, does a pretty decent job of being the protagonist con man. Although not as convincing as Ayushman, but still a good job from him. He captures the tense and nerve wracking scenes well, but falls behind in the comic scenes.

2. Mamta was an absolute disaster of a cast. To play a role etched in everyone's mind by the brilliant Tabu is no easy task. Mamta is a great actor, but in this movie she lacked the vindictiveness, the cruelty yet mildly seductive tones of her character. There were many instances when her expressions didn't match up to get that impact that we were so familiar too. The murder and cover up sequence of her husband did a poor job of creating that sense of fear and thrill in the audience.

3. Unni Mukundan....why? Understood that there was the need of a brute character and physically he matched up to the role....but acting wise...dint deliver.

4. Jagadeesh... was good. Managed to give a good performance in the limited role he had.

5. Ananya also did a good job. The sequence of her firing at her husband was done pretty well by her albeit a bit weak from mukundan's side.

6. Coming to the biggest disappointment I had, was the background score and the songs. I mean seriously? Andhadhun had such hauntingly beautiful piano pieces and some brilliant music by Amit Trivedi. Bhramam failed horribly in this department with poor attempts at recreating masterpieces like Naina da Kasoor, Laila and Woh Ladki.

7. I was also shocked that the director, being a DOP prior himself, failed to capture the visuals in this remake of a brilliantly directed movie. The Uday Kumar murder scene, the hidden man in the bathroom, the climax...just weren't up to the mark.

All in all, it felt like a deliberate attempt to remake a brilliant movie without paying attention to fine details in acting, music and direction and failing desperately to capture the essence of it all.
