  • Geographically laapata ladies ❌ Socially lost ✅

    "EVERY WOMAN, TOO, HAS AN ARTIST IN THEM"

    It takes just a single cinematic masterpiece at a time to open the eyes of many. However, laapata ladies, a typical low-budget blockbuster delves into multiple societal issues with genuine laughs.

    Every woman harbors a unique talent within regardless of her background. The film advocates female independence, sheds light on their challenges. Yet, it portrays women who lack courage - women seeking hefty dowries, bribing for their son - the actual laapata ladies. Those, geographically lost, display remarkable courage. The transformatiob of a flower-like Phool to the adaptability of independence tells us a lot. Jaya, exploring, the talents of other women to their potential is incredible.

    However, the film has multiple flaws. As the saying goes, experience enriches ones writing. Similarly, I feel, the writers here, haven't traveled much on the trains, rather just by airplanes. The story set in 2001, portrays the trains which were re-built in 2018. Strange. Phool sits on the bus with no ghunghat, then why on the train? For more drama, the groom doesn't even see her face all the way until his home.

    Overall, it is truly heartwarming with comedy. Almost all the characters are loveable. Manju Maayi did a great job. Ravi Kishan, as usual, FANTASTIC! Phool's character development warmed my heart. There were beautiful shots of buses along the ghats, villages, trains along the dams, could have shot some more beautiful ones of the village itself.

  • Starts off incredibly well, only to disappoint at the back end

    The plot of Resident Alien immediately grabbed my attention. Without any second thoughts, I started watching it. The early episodes give off a Stranger Things vibe, featuring an ensemble of characters from kids to cops, each with their own compelling storylines.

    The highlight of the series is the protagonist, whose outstanding performance stands out. Asta, too, shines brightly. All the other actors, including the mayor who doesn't look like one at all, deliver poor performances, leading to some terrible casting choices.

    The show begins with a promising mix of fast-paced humor, personal conflicts, and crime, making the initial episodes engaging and entertaining. As the season progresses, though, the storyline becomes somewhat predictable, although it retains its comedic charm.

    It does get a little foolish as all the major characters in the series come from the same batch of the same school. Literally too much fiction. Furthermore, it gets way too much when there's a foolish episode of encounters with aliens. Special mention to the so-called MIB Team, who come across as absurdly wayward, resembling a group of disorganized college nerds. Resident Alien still manages to offer enough humor and interesting moments to keep viewers entertained. However, the season's climax doesn't quite live up to the excitement of its beginning, ending on a slightly disappointing note.

    It begins strong, however, struggles to maintain its initial promise. The show's blend of humor and supernatural elements initially works well but eventually feels overstretched. Fans of sci-fi and comedy might find it worth watching for its moments of brilliance, but others may find the series loses its charm as it unfolds.

  • Dishoom meets AI & Mission Impossible, failing miserably at Physics

    BMCM is one of Bollywood's rare fast-paced action comedies. I enjoyed the action, thrills, and humor it offered. The film is packed with non-stop action and humor, although its focus on entertainment over realism is evident. The background score resembles that of a Rohit Shetty film.

    Despite the abundance of gunshots and bombs, the protagonists emerge harmless. The protagonists walk around heroically amid gunshots, and the bullets do not even touch them as if they are on another planet.

    However, I still found enjoyment in parts due to its fast-paced action and humor. Some dialogues are nonsensical, some genuinely funny. While the dialogue isn't groundbreaking, it's still enjoyable. It feels they are not written by classical writers, but some new ones interested only in watching latest films and memes rather than some classical movies, which is a drawback.

    Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff deliver impressive performances, espacially the latter. Bolder dialogue delivery could have added greater impact. Alaya F and Manushi Chillar did well. However, they were not needed. They were in the script just to have female leads in the film for attention.

    Like any Salman Khan movie, it was an Akshay Kumar-Tiger Shroff Centric film. Only, they have done more damage to physics than Salman Khan himself and Varun Dhawan.

    1. Not believable 2. Thrilling Action Sequences 3. Some good comedy, some silly 4. Good Acting, Poor Writing 5. Fails at Physics 6. Fast-paced

    Couldn't mention about story since I wasn't able to find one.
