Fighter
(2024)

Full on entertainment and fabulous action movie
I went to the movie with low expectations. Was not impressed with the trailer and was expecting a jingoistic loud movie with mediocre action sequences. But man I was so wrong. The movie blew past all my expectations. The action sequences are very well executed. Songs well choreographed. No unnecessary songs. Well written screenplay. And excellent performances by Hrithik ( he looks Uber cool !!), Deepika and Anil kapoor. Diirectiin is top notch. Felt like a Hollywood kind of a movie . Overall a full entertainment movie with fabulous action sequences and story . Don't miss and watch it only big screen. Total paisa vasool !!!

One of the beat movies
This does not seem like regular movie. You immediately get sucked into the story and everything looks very real. You can relate to each and every scene in the story. No unneccesary drama or emotions. To the point and razor sharp focus on the story. Excellent acting by all actors. One of the best movies seen in a long time .!!

Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story
(2020)

One of best series seen in a long time
This is one of the best series I have seen in a long time. The direction and the story telling is impeccable. When today's OTT series have unnecessary adult/sex scenes just to get more glamour, this series is devoid f any such scenes. The director concentrates only on the story and keeps you engaged with the story. So there is no need for unnecessary scenes. Theee are some Hindi swear words used, which is common in regular conversation.. Kudos to Hansal Mehta ( even thoug he is a modi critic ..!!!:😃) for a great series. Excellent acting by Pratik Gandhi and shreya dhanwantri.!

Aarakshan
(2011)

Gripping and riveting story
When i went for this movie, i had zero expectations. But i was blown away by the movie. The movie starts with building each character slowly and then the story premise. With time, the movie's momentum builds further and at interval, you have a real cracker of a movie on. Post interval, the movie proceeds on the momentum built before interval giving lots of twists in the story. The Climax is a masterstroke and the movie finally ends on high note. Of all the performance, Amitabh steam rolls and holds the movie completely like a rock. Can't imagine anyone could have done justice to this role. Saif and Deepika also excel in their respective roles. The director's screenplay is another thing that impressed me. He does not over dramatize any scenes but stills keeps the impact strong. I do have to agree with others who say that this movie is less about reservation and more about the commercialization of education in India, but the director beautifully conveys how the reservation(or aarakshan) is resulting in commercialization of education. People who say the trailer of the movie conveys different thing about the movie, they should go and see the trailer correctly once more. The trailer tells exactly the correct preview of the movie, which includes the commercialization of education. This movie tells a story where it tells one the bad result of reservation. Go and see the movie, i can tell you wont be disappointed. Its a gripping story.

Total time pass
We were like 6 people who went and watched this movie and to be honest, while we had zero expectations on the movie, the movie was pleasantly entertaining. Everyone one of us enjoyed it a lot. Its a breezy timepass movie without any heavy stuff. Amitabh looks absolutely stunning and is a treat to watch. Not only his attires cool, it is also breezy, and the lines he speaks are witty too. The storyline is thin which we knew before we entered the movie hall. But the surprising thing is the story at the climax is gripping and sure impressed us a lot. Amitabh is in full form and shows why he was a one man industry for a long time, i am sure you will like him in that role.. Go and enjoy it, i am sure you will not regret it at all...!

A nice and clean entertainer
When i went to the movie, i was expecting it to be a kiddish movie, and since it is coming from Bollywood, i thought the presentation and the special effects would be amateurish.. But i must say, i was really surprised by the movie narration and direction. The special effects were fantastic, of the standards i have seen in Hollywood movies (seriously i am not kidding on this...), particularly the introduction scene where Amitabh tries to frighten the kid. Also the part with the dry leaves have also been handled very deftly both from the technology point of view and from the story narration point of view. On the whole without realizing i enjoyed the movie thoroughly. I am taking out the 1 point, if only the ending could have been more crispier... Check out for its sequel ..!!!. Go for it .. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

Cheeni Kum
(2007)

Excellent Movie
After a long time, we see one more movie that surpasses all expectations. One of the coolest romantic comedies made. Every dialogue in the movie is filled with sarcasm. And the story has been handled with utmost maturity. Not a dull moment at all in the movie. Each character is etched out fantastically. Amitabh,Tabu,Paresh rawal have all acted great in this movie. I was laughing all through the movie. I had no expectations from this movie, but turned out to be one of the finest movies made so far in bollywood. Initially was skeptical that it might be too melodramatic, but it was surprisingly refreshing movies. Great direction, nice songs and good story. After Munna bhai, one of a cool movies made. A Must watch movie. GO AND WATCH IT.
