Pippa
(2023)

How ishan khattar gets roles??
I am amazed how frequently most of the crappy dudes and dudettes like khattar get roles. Khattar looks dodo, acts dodo raised to two, and has screen presence of dodo to infinity. He seems straight jacket nepo kid. Nepo kids have infiltrated bolly is well known. But how on earth and who funds these projects needs to be documented and why is even bigger question. Bolly is like any other business but only nepo kids getting screen time is mystery.

Journalism should work to unravel that. Pippa could hav been a great story full of fervor and amazing hooks but khattar and his deadpan looks, irritating screen presence ensure it landed a dud.

Dhulia, Kashyaps are in time wrap 90s
DHulia , kashyap are as relevant in stories of India of 2023, NEw india wants 2 see success stories, dreams coming true. U hv the most uselss content selectors at SOny who green light such absurd tales. Thy r still peddling - politics, college etc outdated as mickey mouse cartoon of 60s is relevant in universe of disney filled with Avengers.

Answer - Big Zero.

India of today under stellar leadership aspires to be USD 5 tn economy and dhulia is pushing the agenda based stories of long gone back era. The character isn't anything new that you havent seen in snore fests of same ilk, zillion times, The premise of a chess board politics full of pawns is stale, predictable and itchy, feels as relevant as a plate of humus in mexican nachos ie bland and totally out of place. Director is in a timewrap of 90s and is refusing 2 grow as a creative person.

Technically film rates as follows Visuals - 1/5 on mediocre visuals.

BGM - 0.5/5 its so dull as u have 2 wake urself up after every 15 mins.

Content Continuity - 0/5 Editing is non existent.

Story (-10)/5, Writing doesn't hold you at all. Really its that bad

Who funds such projects & Why do people make these projects? Creative teams should be sacked for both sonyliv and this project. They are peddling 90s india after 2.5 decades.

once again sony liv continues peddling trash of bolly
Great innocent Muslim, who sacrifices all. Chupa ke reference to Batala house. Itna thakela show. Must say sony live is the torch bearer of all bolly trash. I presume all the monies for these shows and bolly gang comes from d comany so they keep on producing such waste of products. Its the saga that has continued n gives confidence to all the bolly gang. Skip and avoid far better to watch korean, european any other international show. Can watch fauda once more. Totally waste of time 7 zero new element. Same old thakela narrative which tries to put police in bad light..mast element hai. Sony has a knack of selecting such propoganda narrative always.

Tapsee can only copy! Nothing original
She has become stale, in connected world of internet pannu and anurag are living in lala land. They work on copied scripts like mahesh bhatt used to do in whole of 90s. Nothing original and very poor copy at that. Alas in today's world everyone can just see the original stuff and see what a shoddy work has been done in copying. Had bhatt made movies today none would have worked and he would have made many producers bankrupt. It's not worth time effort and energy. Pannu can't act for anything. She is a lost case these days all her acts have been laid bare in internet and all her projects have failed.

bachchan is waste
Even after earning zillions bachchan is still not promoting others. He still wants to be in front of camera whereas he should at this stage either retire or promote new faces. Ideally bollywood has some 700-800 useless films which are mostly copied from some western/ south film produced every year and same 100 odd people: khan, kapoors act in them. Why not across these 800 films 200/300 should get opportunity to try their luck. As it is 200 is too small a no in a population of 150 crore population.

Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi
(2019)

MUST WATCH
Manikarnika - The Queen Of Jhansi is a story of popular freedom fighter, Rani Laxmibai, who sacrificed her life fighting the British soldiers in the pre-independence era.

KANGANA IS SIMPLY MIND BLOWING. The songs add to the momentum the song bharat - yeh rehna chahiye just blows u with patriotism.

Art direction is eye-catching.

Each and every frame is beautiful depicted on the silver screen while cinematography captures the exotic locales of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. The production design is eye-catching and will take you back to the forgotten history.

The costume-design is mesmerizing while the background score was very good. The sets looked grandeur and magnificent and did have shades of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani.

The action sequence is brilliantly choreographed by the Hollywood choreographer Nick Powell who was the stunt coordinator in films like X-Men: The Last Stand and The Last Samurai.

I could not imagine anyone apart from Kangana Ranaut playing the powerful character of Rani Laxmibai. What will catch your attention is the impeccable transformation from Manikarnika into Rani Laxmibai as the reels moves forward. Kangana Ranaut looked perfect as a Rani Laxmibai as she makes her grand entry and spits venom as she fights the British soldiers. The fiery looks in her eyes and the commanding voice will make you fall in love with her wonderful performance.

Manikarnika The Queen Of Jhansi is definitely a good watch if you are a fan of Indian History and Kangana Ranaut.

Bobby retire kyu nahi hota: Boring
Haven't seen any actor who has zero expressions from start till end who can beat bobby

he beats sunny hands down in expressionless acting.

Ro raha hai, hans raha hai, happy hai sab jagah ek hi dead pan expression.

Bobby ab to taras kha ab to chod de audience ko. Zero acting

bekaar..

Boring - Avoid: bolly can't even copy well
It is a scene to scene remake of Luther( Idris Elba) customised to india. So London becomes Mumbai and rest all is cut copy paste. Despite this its a yawn fest. I don't know why can't bully even copy well. They are living in 80s when they used to do dhadele se world cinema copy without any fear of copyrights. Today they buy dead series of abroad, going cheap and copy it.

Alas they forget many have seen Luther and have feeling of deja vu.

Thakela to max.. Devgn Akki Sallu srk are all behaving like Shatrughan, Dharmendra, Jeetendra of 80s. Age is showing on body and actions despite vfx and plastic surgery. They can't fool audience any more.

There are so many scenes where you will yawn that means it is a bit boring.

Dabba hai dabba devgn uncle ka offering dubba

Sleepfest galore.
If you suffer from Insomnia, pschyatrists should start prescribing compulsory watch of such sleepfest.. it's such a drag that you need effort of serious kind to stay awake.

Bolly gang to its usual hype stuff mode.

Add glamor and slick photo graphy: zero content
Padukone is as deadpan and expressionless even after years in front of camera, as she was in first film. Her emoting is worse than a school kindergarten kid. I bet She can't even deliver a single 10 line paragraph in one shot. And for plot it's as thin as a potato wafer. Pathetic plethora of nepo kids..avoid strictly.

Gangubai Kathiawadi

Bolly again to glamourising mafia
First they made movies on dawood, then lala, then some pathan. Then they started makeing movies on haseena parkar now gangubai..morally, intellectually bankrupt. Just glamourising the mafia. Pathetic. A house of nepo kids trying to find ways and means to please their masters.

Pathetic
Youth has given up on bolly long back. No one in 25-30 age group from any demography or states watches bolly movies. Ppl see world cinema its so much better. Only bolly wala see, make and act in bolly movies. It's a spineless group . 50 families don't allow outsiders.

When will india come out of clutches of this small coterie? People have stopped worrying to ans that and have started watching world content in OTT.

World has moved from 60s.. So should art cinema.
We that is the film federation of India is still wearing the glasses of 60s.

Whereas world has moved ahead.

I still don't see any sense in showing such cinema, besides pandering to the white man's burden syndrome. You showcase abject misery and shine it as rat used to do. Comeon guys noone has time for such shenanigans in today's world.

Raise issues and suggest solutions. Raising abject hopelessness serves noone neither the viewer nor the team of such projects.

Big thumbs down for art cinema of 60s. A breed that is extinct and for good.
