Commando
(2023)

Don't waste your time on it.
Who is this Prem Parrija?

He is neither have looks nor the acting skills. Below average storyline. Wahi old ghisa pita formula India Pakistan aur deadly virus. Grow up guys.

Don't waste your time on it.

Poor direction, poor screenplay, poor execution. Har dialogue me Commando, Commando bolna zaruri hai kya?

Talented actors like Amit Sial, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Vaibhav, Shreya wasted.

Adah Sharma is cute and does the same thing, she did in movies.

Although after the first Commando movie other 2 were mediocre but this series is below the mediocre level.

Some action sequences are good otherwise totally avoidable.

Dahan: Raakan Ka Rahasya
(2022)

Khoda Pahad Nikli Chuhiya
It's not a complete waste but nothing sort of worth your time. Sometimes it try to be a horror, sometimes zombie apocalypse, sometimes super natural amd sometimes science fiction.

All an all the writers, directors tried so many things but not a single thing goes perfectly fine. Looks like a khichdi. Length is also could have been cut short to 6-7 episodes.

Confused writing, not so good screenplay, poor editing and mediocre acting.

So many unanswered questions, so many loop holes, so many plot holes.

Nothing new or extraordinary.

Better stay away from it but if you just want to kill time you can watch it.

Sardar Ka Grandson
(2021)

Enjoy it with your family you won't regret.
"Sardar Ka Grandson" is not a masterpiece or fantabulous film but it is a good family entertainer in the time of, where movies/series are full of abuses and vulgarity. It has it's flaws but it has some beautiful moments also. I don't know why people are bashing Arjun Kapoor unnecessarily. I agree that he is not as good as his peers like Vicky Kaushal, Ranveer Singh but he has done his job here decently.

The real star of the film is Neena Gupta. She is a live electric wire. She deserves much much much more movies and projects.

Do not listen to the reviewers, "SKG" is a nice and clean family entertainer. Enjoy it with your family you won't regret.

Bigil
(2019)

A mood freshner not more than that.
Do you remember that dialogue from Chak De India - "Har team me sirf ek hi gunda hota hai aur iss team ka gunda main hu". The whole story of "Bigil" is based on this line. "Bigil" is the story of a football player who turned into a goon and again turned into a football coach. The movie is a story of a football player Michal aka Bigil whose father is a robin hood type's don and when rivalry gang killed his father, he takes his position. And in a very dramatic way when the coach of the Tamilnadu States Women team got injured, Bigil becomes the new coach and help the team to win the cup. The story is very similar to Chak De India; A team that hates their coach, a coach who wants to fulfill his dream with the help of that team, Penalty shoot out in the climax, and many more. But what makes "Bigil" much more entertaining is the treatment of the story. The first half is completely focused on the character development of Bigil while the other half is completely based on football Competition. There is nothing new in the story but the treatment which makes it watchable and enjoyable. It's an age-old formula of south Indian cinema just repackaged with new packing. The movie tried to touch other aspects like Women Empowerment, Acid Attacks on Women, Sports Politics in India, and somehow manages to do it properly. The film highly depends on two things Vijay and Football. Vijay has done his job amazingly but in case of football, matches are exactly copied from Chak De India, and VFX was below par level. So all an all this movie is thoroughly enjoyable and even after it's almost 3 Hrs. long, it will not boar you. But don't expect anything extraordinary. It's 7 out 10 Cup Cakes for me. By the way, it's not in Hindi and available on Prime. One more thing, "Bigil" means Whistle.

The Grudge
(2019)

Absolutely Unwatchable
If you can't get asleep, watch this one and I guarantee that you'll be in a deep sleep within 10 minutes or may be early. This film is boaring, pathetic not at all watchable. So save your time and avoid it.

Ponmagal Vandhal
(2020)

A must watch in this lockdown
Ponmagal Vandhal started a new trend of Direct To OTT release of big films and there are more names which will join the league soon. But back to the "PV" this is a suspense thriller with a nicley written script supported by great acting by Jyotika and beautiful camera work and with a very good social message. The movie is a story of a lawyer and her one and only case, defending a serial killer. There is only one major actor Jyotika in the film and she has done her job fabulously. Story of the film is very well written and holds you till the last scene. First half is great actually but the second half is a bit slow. There are a few twists here and there which will hook you to the screen. The only problem is the court room drama which is the main part of the film. At the beginning it's look great but in the end it's not hold itself upto the mark. Logic and sense are overpowered by emotions. I mean we have seen more realistic and amazing court room drama like Section 375 recently. So all and all if you are more of an emotional person you'll find nothing wrong. So if you like logics you may find it a little odd. But still it's a one time watch for all the thriller and mystery genre lovers. By the way It's NOT available in Hindi.

Hasmukh
(2020)

Enjoyable in parts but avoidable...
Hasmukh is a slow, dragged and completely unenjoyable show with great potential. Actors like Vir Das, Ranvir Shorey, Manoj Pahwa are wasted totally. They all tried too hard to sail this boat with holes but failed miserably. No proper screeplay, Lack of vision in direction and poor execution of amazing idea. The show is based on stand up comedy and the show has team of 5 writers but still the jokes are lame and so bad that you can't even smile on them forget about laughter. The show ends on a cliffhanger and we might get season 2 and I am not gonna watch it.

Extraction
(2020)

Hemsworth and Netflix tried to cash the lockdown but...
Extraction has nothing new to offer. Netflix and Chris Hemsworth(He is the producer of the film) just tried to cash the lockdown and popularity of Chris Hemsworth. Otherwise there in nothing new to the film. Same old formula with lots of action and violence. Bodyguard aur Rocky Handsome ka enhanced version hai bas... Screenplay is written by Joe Russo and it is quite okay, Chris Hemsworth is the only person we see on screen. Randeep Hooda and Pankaj Tripathi has nothing to do. But Priyanshu Painyuly has some screen space and he is a shining star... So "Extraction" is a completely missable if you are not a hardcore fan of of Chris Hemsworth. Watch something else more interesting like Samantar😊

The Attacks of 26/11
(2013)

A must watch in this hardtime....
Watched it again today. No one could pull of this role like #NanaPatekar. Silent as breeze and loud as storm. @rgvzoomin shot the film very cleverly, breathtaking n spine chilling bgm. Incident of Taj hotel is completely forgotten which is a let down. Climax is perfect... Watch it to witness that what police is doing for us

Bhavesh Joshi Superhero
(2018)

I am sorry that I didn't watch it in theater.
How many superhero origin movies you've watched till now? I bet you still haven't watched the best among them. And the most surprising thing is that it is a Bollywood film. Yes, Bhavesh Joshi Superhero is the best superhero origin movie I've watched till date. I know it's a bit late to write a review on a movie which was released 10 months ago but trust me when I watched this movie I can't stop my self from writing this review. Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag Kashyap with Abhay Koranne wrote the script and it is almost flawless aur jo ek do hai bhi wo bhi screenplay aur direction ki wajah se nahi dikhte. All the actors including supporting cast done a tremendous job. Just forget that Harshvardhan is Anil Kapoor's son and you will find that he has done complete justice to the role considering this is his first film. I have read so many reviews on the internet and one of my favorite reviewer(Not now) said that "He designs his costume (he's not a costume designer)" seriously... Spiderman(2002) aur Deadpool ne bhi apne costume khud hi design kiye the and they also were not costume designer. Anyways Background music is also good, No love scene and unnecessary drama. Very crisp screenplay and sharp editing. This one has a Chasing scene and believe me it was nail biting and thrilling. I know I am praising the film a lot but it deserves all of these. Mr. Vikramaditya Motwane I know the financial results were not so good of this film but "Superhero paida nahi hote, bante hai". It is people like you and vasan bali, who are changing the Indian cinema and please do not stop. We are with you. Not only a sequel to this but we need a whole bloody universe of Indian Superheros
