Dobaaraa (2022)

You'll relate more if you knew where it was adapted from :)

[7/10 · 21 August 2022]

I don't know what is wrong with so many negative reviews... it's actually a beautifully scripted movie for the average desi audience.

The concept was adapted from one of my all-time favourite Hollywood movies - "Frequency" (and later, the Spanish movie, "Mirage")

But I honestly did admire how it was adapted in the Bollywood style. And Taapsee being in it made it more watchable 'coz I'm quite a fan :)

Go slow, keep an open mind and make sense of it... the movie does require brains - it's not just a random entertainment/masala film.

And yes, if you question it from a quantum relativity point of view, theoretically, there are numerous possibilities of an experience like this occurring in the real world.

The beauty of this movie is that it practically engrosses you with the plot by simply plucking a hypothesis from a plausibility in real-world space-time physics.

Enjoy if you're a nerd and an even bigger Bollywood fan :)

Wakefield (2021)

Riveting and bloody fantastic!

You have to push through and watch it - it's a bit heavy and sometimes will feel a bit off, but it's uniquely made and really captivating - practically engulfs you within the storyline.

I truly hope they come up with Season 2!

Vivarium (2019)

What an utter waste of time :-\

[1/10 · 27 March 2020]

Although the film is creatively pretty well made and keeps you on the edge, well. almost until the last 12 mins or so, it is a MASSIVE waste of an anti-climax. Do not waste your time whatsoever. It leads to NOTHING. Literally nothing. And you'll be left with nothing but a weight of regret of wasting your last hour and more. Blasphemously disappointed. because I kept expecting an epiphanous moment LOL!
