An Action Hero (2022)
What the flick?
How did he sign this movie? How does a story like that make any sense?
An actor who is an 'action hero's in his movies ends up doing stunts, defeating the UK police and goons like a joke? How? To run away from a death that happened by accident, he has to take refuge in UK? Like the Visa is given in a minute? Ok the star could have had it before, how about the character of Jaideep? A guy who wants to avenge his brother's death can just fly without winking an eye?
And the humor they tried to induce was not funny, the action was not digestible, nothing made sense.
Ayushman has to really hire someone to read stories before signing his movies.
I am grateful I watched it on Netflix where I could fwd more than half the movie. Would have felt the pain I'd spent the money on a ticket. Please save your time.
Laal Singh Chaddha (2022)
A one-time watch
It's sad how much potential this movie had and it came out as a disappointing affair.
Firstly I think the movie should have been directed by Raju hirani. There was so much potential for comedy in this movie that he would have done wonders.
Secondly the script was okay a little dragged but you know that the original was quite a long movie on its own hands adding more songs to the Indian version only made it longer.
My biggest problem with the movie was the heart of the movie was missing and that is Aamir Khan.
What I don't understand is if you are going to be in the raider of the movie why do you have to narrate it in a nerdy way? And if you're going to narrate it in Punjabi why can't you speak it well? If you don't know the language why can't you just speak in hindi? The rest of the Punjabi characters in the movie spoke Hindi and everyone was fine with it.
And the most annoying part was the mmmmmmm after every minute.
If Aamir Khan does not even have a group of advisors left in his cabinet who can point out that his narration of the movie, his big-eyed looks from PK, and his nerdy narration was a problem, he has to choose some better people in his stride.
Bachchhan Paandey (2022)
This is a disaster!!!
It's a unique disaster where
Kirti isn't beautiful
Arshad isn't funny
Sanjay misra isn't bearable
Pankaj tripathi isn't natural
Akshay isn't watchable
Dialogues aren't funny, script isn't cohesive
And this shouldn't be given any stars beyond 1.
Farhad Samji please stop making movies.
Gehraiyaan (2022)
A bold attempt!!
Firstly not digestible by everyone and that makes it interesting.
The downside is that there is no humor in the movie unlike some brilliant laughs we had in Kapoor and Sons.
The other negative is the length. Too stretched in the first half.
Now about the good part.
All actors did well except the dialogue delivery of Ananya.
The music, cinematography, direction all spot on.
Such movies that show the grey shades in humans and don't lead the audience by the ear into a lecture on morality are important. Let the audience grow and think.
Definitely a one time watch for the 18+
Velle (2021)
Can't trust reviews anymore!
When I saw the 8.4 rating I thought let me check it on Prime. Omg. This movie is so bad...so bad you'll scratch your head how it was given any stars at all.
Waste
Of
Time.
Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui (2021)
A bold attempt!!!
Downside first.
I think the director or the writer needed to deal with the characters in the movie, dealing with a trans instead of showing the hero go for the competition in the climax. I feel dealing with the subject more important.
Good side.
Acting by everyone. Subject. Kudos to Vaani. And Ayushm always great. Brilliant.
The side caste were all brilliant. Some very funny moments. Wish the senti moments were better.
Pagglait (2021)
One of the best in the recent past
This movie is amazing from so many aspects. Music by Arijit Singh, direction, subtle humour, Sanya's portrayal of Sandhya, all the actors in the support. Simply brilliant. Along with that the social issues that they have touched. How people change their stance when it comes to money, empty rituals in religion, looking down on Muslims which must have caused the hardcore Bhakts to give bad review to this movie...
Nevertheless, it's a wonderful movie which you shouldn't miss if you enjoy good cinema.
Bombay Begums (2021)
It's a decent watch
I would give it at least a minimal 8 out of 10. It deals with silver very important issues. I think the 1 star rating given to the series is a propaganda against the strong issues people don't have an open mind to deal with. Do watch!!
Unpaused (2020)
A bouquet of beautiful stories.
It's something we needed. A ray of hope, a warmth in relations. Some better than the other, yet all stories will make you smile, make you think. Do watch.
Rangoon (2017)
Good and the bad
Firstly the good about the movie
Amazing cinematography
Wonderful direction
Excellent acting by the lead and the ensemble cast
The bad
The villain's attempt at reciting Urdu poetry and singing song which was forced upon. He should have just recited the lines carefully but his English was pretty good so he should have stuck to that.
A sword was able to buy the independence of india? The relevance of that is absent in historic books.
The ending could have been way better
The title of the movie does not justify the storyline
Ludo (2020)
Definitely one of the best movies of the year
Direction, acting, comedy, action, emotions, every aspect of the movie was beautiful along with a philosophical message in the end. This would have been a big hit in a theater but we got to watch it during these times on Netflix. Definitely definitely worth a watch
Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl (2020)
An actually good movie
Pathetic are the people who have taken up the issue of nepotism and are exaggerating it out of proportion. This is actually a good movie with good performances by all the actors. I just feel the achievements of the Kargil hero were not glorified enough. Otherwise a very good watch.
Home Alone 3 (1997)
Better than what the critics say!
This is a great, fun packed movie, even comparable to the first 2 parts. I loved this, the gadgets, the fun, especially the fact that the kid outsmarts some real high profile crooks, is a real treat. Don't miss
Bulbbul (2020)
Beautiful movie
Reminds of Tumbaadd. Amazing on all aspects. Some scenes can be quite disturbing but hard hitting and essential. Don't miss
Thappad (2020)
A must watch!!!
Every man, from every part of the world, married or especially unmarried must and must watch this movie. Please have the patience to sit through this movie that will be called a masterpiece one day. Sad the people of its own times are not able to appreciate it enough.
Good Newwz (2019)
Tooo funny!!
Akshay's sense of comedy is brilliant in this movie. Diljit equally funny albeit a bit loud. Kareena amazing in the role. Kiara a little weak but did a good job. Dialogues and direction amazing. Not to be missed.
Marjaavaan (2019)
Unbearable!!
Recommending this movie to anyone is... Only if you to put them through a dare or you want a revenge. Otherwise don't don't pleeaseee don't watch this trash.
Good Newwz (2019)

Prassthanam (2019)
Great movie suffered from bad name!
It's a good movie on all accounts that suffered because of a bad name. I mean a bad name as in the title of the movie. Why that title? I don't understand neither it is explaines in the movie. Another aspect of bad name is no publicity.
Other than that (and a little stretching too much) it's a good movie.
Chhichhore (2019)
Brriillliantttt!!!
Don't miss this movie. Worth each penny spent. Sushant Singh needs to emote better, other actors amazing. Varun Sharma deserves the kudos. Director Nitesh Tiwari truly knows how to entertain, make you laugh and touch every cord of your heart. 10 out of 10.
Aval (2017)
Mindless, simply stupid
O please don't waste your time. It's an insult to intelligence. It begins so well but the way it drags you wish to find a time travel machine to rewind those two hours of you life back. Nuff said!
Kalank (2019)
It is a Kalank
The two stars are for the production desigbn, costumes, sets. Amazing. Each scene has a color theme matching with the background and mood. What an eye for perfection.
I wish that was enough for a movie to succeed. The direction, story, logic, continuity, everything is sooooo horrible. It's lengthy, it's really really bad.
Kabir Singh (2019)
A story not worth celebrating!
Firstly, the acting by Shahid and Kiara simply amazing. In fact the entire cast has done a good job.
But starting from the length of the movie to the subject and the messages given in the story are truly horrible.
In the age and era we are expected to applaud a hero who is a senior in medical college, treats a teenage girl like an 'item' or possession and she's supposed to fall for this abusive, violent alpha male is beyond my acceptance. His alcohol, smoking, drugs abuse is to the max but his rehabilitation takes no effort like a bloody super hero. Sanju in that aspect was a way better and believable movie.
This one, despite the acting by everyone, is horrible in length, story and message.
