Strong execution was needed
10 October 2023
Sameer lodaya

The content was very strong here only thing needed was a hard thumping execution

Akshay was wasted here with his bad get up of a sardarji he has offered nothing new despite he played very strong character in AIRLIFT which was also a execution content driven film

The movie missed strong dialogues, goosebumps scenes, tearful scenes, songs, back ground scores, energetic vibes and all other elements required for a execution film

I know it is very easy for us just to press alphabets and write reviews a filmmaker knows what he goes through to make a film but trust me this is just a kind information sharing to get a better one next time.

The secret
5 October 2023
Sameer lodaya

The movie is based on the book escape to nowhere which is averagely brought on small screen by vishal Bhardwaj

The content is a usual one of a traitor from a agency and how the agency get holds of him..the movie is seat catching and intense in some scenes the thrill thus carries the movie but then the pace is slow and some songs made which were not meant for ..vishal is also popular for his music but this time it was not of his kind

The favourite of vishals gang which is always there in his movies tabu has acted normal but trust me you have to watch it for wamiqa she played marvellous

One of my favourites director I have always expected a different course of movie but this is a normal one if we compare to his earlier ones..regrets

You can certainly have a watch.

Fukrey 3 (2023)
4/10
2nd half spoiled the movie
1 October 2023
Sameer lodaya

What a movie was fukrey 1 followed by the 2nd was also good but the third did not match the level of fukrey

The content has no play in this movie as we all know we doesn't have to apply our minds while watching fukrey..the first half was bearable and had the hope that 2nd will be more better but it was worst..the movie suddenly left the charm because of long and creepy scenes some content was really yuks I don't know how they got the idea to entertain people with human waste

Chocha was same as before and maintained his madness with Pulkit, the legend pankajji ,Richa and Manjot all played very similar characters like they played before

It is very difficult to make sequels of a hit movie as people expect a lot and so we can expect fukrey 4 comes back with a bang

Regrets for low ratings.

Tumse ho gaya
1 October 2023
Sameer lodaya

The movie titled tumse na ho payega based on a novel has done really better

Though the content is a repetitive one but they made the movie in a very honest simple and sweet way..a little bit of chopping on the movie was required and the turn which a they made was very late thus the struggle for come back was missed..the pace should had been a step better to give the young startup's story a better version...bad words could had been avoided

Ishwak was very good with his simplicity, soft dialogue's ,innocent looks he gave his best..

The movie is a pure ott chill out types on a weekend.

Where is the family fun
25 September 2023
Sameer lodaya

In the whole movie I was trying to find where is the family fun which generally family types movies has

The content was good with a good twist where they had a road for humour but they made it boring..generally family movies have humour emotions, bondings, fights ,songs but here everything was missing..the movie was wondering headless with little love story some friends hangouts and caste creeds that's all

Vicky failed to play a family boy in main lead with miss chillar who was good for nothing..no good and strong supporting casts were seen

With YRF and Vijay we expect a lot and regret to give such reviews hope they take it spontaneously and come out with real good quality products.

Intense
21 September 2023
Sameer lodaya

sujoy came with this movie in his typical style of direction where he keeps you thrilled and amazed till the end .

The concept is based on the novel the devotion of suspect x but viewers will comment as a small copy of drishyam..it would be wrong if we connect the concept with drishyam as the makers here have shown what was in the book..the concept is well made for screening on a small screen in a little dark and intense manner..the pace of the movie is good and the thrills are also very sharp..the movie will keep you engage deeply..the climax is one of its kind will make you baffled

The casting here is a explosive box where you can see is vijay,jaydeep and Kareena..the character of jaydeep is very unique and he played so marvellously with his partial bald and serious intense looks..Vijay played a wicked cop with his ease expressions and evil smile..Kareena was thankfully shown of her age and not a younger girl which she played very well

Get Thrilled this weekend with this movie.

Kaala..the dark
20 September 2023
Sameer lodaya

The series is made in a good dark fusion of crime

Bejoy casted avinash ,saurabh ,jitin which were seen in last release series called bambai you can feel the vast difference as what director can actually do..all this actors have played very well in this series rather than the last one specially avinash and jitin ..the content is about money laundering for cross border activities which is investigated by a special force all this is displayed very well and goes in a good pace with great bgm .. The series is brilliantly made in dark presentation

The series lacks in some episodes as it is dragged by giving details about characters and their past also the climax was not up to the standard what the series has managed to do so

It's a good watch if you like dark concepts.

Will be heavy on your head
14 September 2023
Sameer lodaya

The series has so much of violence that it will be really heavy on your head

The content is same what we have seen many times before in films books and documentaries about a mumbai don which is known to everyone and about the young ones who doesn't know are not interested

Keeping in mind farhan Akhtar and excel team I dared to watch this series still after their last average show Dahaad ..the series has no sense of violence ,unnecessary bad words ,no strong storyline,no thumping dialogues, no attitude of a don etc..shockingly they have 10 long episodes and to be continued for the next season..the pace is very slow with dull representation..all the actors were good in the initial episodes but then they were the same and couldn't get light in the series

Regret for bad review but had great expectations from the makers who have given us great entertainment.

Boneless
8 September 2023
Sameer lodaya

The makers have titled the movie haadi (bone) but the movie is totally bone less

The content is about revenge of a transgender whose entire world was destroyed by a politician for a land cause the execution was dull thus making the movie uninteresting and heavy on mind due to lot of violence.

Anurag was shockingly good Nawaz was little more and loud than required

Bad luck for this movie is taali series on transgender was already released though the content was different but people compare them.

I watched only for nawaz and apologise for bad review as I expected a lot and will keep expecting from the team to deliver a better quality product.

Sameer lodaya

The movie is amazingly driven by SRK itself as only stars like him can do this

What a entry of SRK simply electrifying it gives you another level of vibration he has acted marvellously in all aspects like action ,romance ,humour, wickedness which will keep you in high spirits of entertainment

Let's not discuss about content as it's typical South Indian types of high action and in super speed pace..songs were not at par..atlee has given one of his finest direction and took out the real heroism from SRK

The movie should be watched in single screen with masses where you can enjoy dances ,whistle ,shouts which gives a pure masala movie feeling.

Brotherhood
3 September 2023
Sameer lodaya

The movie is all about brotherhood and they get more close after a Friday night party

The content is very simple and short about 2 brothers where the younger one is very outward ,gutsy and full of life and while the elder one is serious ,sincere and shy types..both are in an international school where they have a football match followed by a party on Friday night..some small instances happens during the night which brings both the brothers close and to live life in a new way

All the young ones have played their roles decently without any extra glamour or attitude

It's is a very simple movie don't expect any big thing here people giving 10 stars here is totally absurd.

Only 4 episodes
1 September 2023
Sameer lodaya

This review is based on only 4 episodes released this week

The series is made by neeraj pandey and team in his own typical style where he has always emphasised on govt agents of different agencys to fight terrorism but here they have shown something new where a group of officers who are expelled from authorities comes together and do tasks for money..the series is good in pace and takes a turn for a girl isolated in Syria forcefully by her husband though we have seen this kind of stories earlier but here they have created a good thrill ,new techniques ,new boundaries, new information which you will enjoy

Mohit looked hunk and played his character very well along with anupamji

It is very upsetting to see only 4 episodes are being released it kills the whole enthusiasm and thrill created.

Continuing the scam
1 September 2023
Sameer lodaya

Yet another masterpiece from from Hansal mehta after scam 1996 and scoop

The content is of the very famous scammer TELGI inspired from novel reporters ki diary which is sharply made and magnificently delivered in series by Tushar and Hansal..the series starts with BGM of scam 1996 which really refresh's you..the makers have focused on every minute details with good pace ,tangy dialogues, background music, realistic costumes all these you can only find in some makers like Hansal mehta who is now considered pioneer in Hindi web series

The characters of Telgi has been marvellously designed and very well played by gagan in all aspects like his voice his body shape his walk his talk his expressions all were perfectly matched and delivered

Little negatives like the pace was slow in some episodes, some where dullness was felt ,the much talked bar incident where Telgi blew up a large amount of money was ordinarily showed it could had been a large and extraordinary one with a known face in a dancer role ,climax is kept open which will upset the binge watchers

Make it a compulsion to watch.

Dream Girl 2 (2023)
3/10
Unnecessary 2
28 August 2023
Sameer lodaya

The sequel is unnecessarily made as it doesn't fulfill the previous ones glory

Ayushmann is known for his different characters which are always unique but this time he has overdone it with his overacting..ananya was as usual a show piece rest there were many great actors but no one was extraordinary

The movie has a old content of man being a woman for her daily needs where they have connected with his love story and same old drama of girls father keeping terms of money..the much expected humour was totally missing, the songs are not recognised though they have shown in large sets..the movie was mindlessly going from here and there and tried to connect but it failed

Dream girl the first one was a cult it had that naughtiness and high humour but the sequel doesn't Maintains the brand name

Sorry for bad reviews as was expecting a lot from this team though it is working well on collection numbers.

Guns & Gulaabs (2023– )
2/10
Empty guns and dead gulabs
18 August 2023
Sameer lodaya

The series is titled as guns and gulabs but to tell you the guns were empty an the gulabs were dead

The series is shown somewhere in 90s so they have given entire look in retro style..the concept is of guns in which a big deal of drug is going on and where everyone is eager to crack it and other side the gulabs is the love story of teenagers in a school and so this way the series goes in 7 episodes slowly slowly with some retro songs in background ,little dark humour was attempted ,thrill was seen in last episode and thanks they concluded the climax in this season only

All the stars like Rajkumar ,Salman ,adarsh ,shreya are at their worst only good we're late satishji and gulshan now this is the directors call of how take out the talent from these actors

Was shocking to see raj and dk giving this quality of show where they have a superb history of hits

Feels sad to review negative for such re known stars and makers but the intention is to give true feedback so that they can rectify their mistakes.

11 August 2023
Sameer lodaya

The movie is truly to be called OH MY GOD

The content is so real ,natural and strong which emphasises the journey of parents sufferings for upbringing their teenager kids and the kids who have half knowledge of some furious things which they want to experience..the movie showcases a teenager who attempts some unwanted activity for which he was misguided from society and makes him depressed to kill himself and then how his father fights for his family's dignity and his sons confidence to the core

Pankaj Tripathi fantastically played his character of a father with his soft emotions and innocence image...the way he has acted and carried the entire move single handedly would be a eye opener to all big commercial actors...Akshay had a good look as a trance god

The movie goes in good pace with hilarious scenes ,strong emotions ,high courtroom drama, indian literature and basic drawbacks of society..the climax was little lost out it could had been more strong and thumping with dialogues and outcomes but it was commercially driven

Good content ,low budget and high performances is the best combination to watch for.

Good it was only one night
29 July 2023
Sameer lodaya

The makers have made the movie in entire one night and that's good if they added more then it be disastrous

Keeping in mind raveena and Milind I dared to see this movie still could not get it what they wanted to show it was so much down graded thrill with no acting or expressions from any of these stars ..raveena could had done wonders but she was unexplored and so was Milind..the suspense was so so easy to predict

Sorry for the negative reviews just giving feedback to ensure we get good quality with versatile actors like raveena

Perfectly makers have released on free ott platform.

Only rocky and Rani
28 July 2023
Sameer lodaya.

The movie has only rocky and Rani to focus on rest all is very usual

Remarkable come back of ranveer after his last flops he has nailed this his character of rocky to the core he did all elements perfectly as pure rich Delhi type punjabi Munda and alia as Rani was no less she looked gorgeous and equally carried the movie with ranveer very passionately..these both characters are the heart of the movie rest all were very normal

The movie is extravaganza in all aspects you say aesthetically, colourful costumes,huge sets,beautiful locations,swanky cars ,dance sequences ,old songs as background scores these all will give you a very eye pleasing feeling ..the humour was outclass ,the chemistry between rocky and Rani was intense ,the movie breathed only when they were on screen..the movie is meant for tier 1 viewers

The second half was dragged with emotions in karan Johars typical style some may like it but it is boredom on mind in this era also sadly the songs dint hit the charts

The movie is of families but not a family watch so if you are fan of kjos movie you must go.

Senior citizen student
24 July 2023
Sameer lodaya

The movie is about senior citizen mr bachubhai becoming a student

The concept introduced was a good and new one but the execution was very dull..randeriaji was the perfect choice for this character and he played usual what he plays he is a very versatile actor the director could had taken out some unique talents from him..the movie could have been more hilarious with some high inspirational scenes and dialogues ..more technical activities was required to justify the character in a broader way

Content wise Gujarati movies are now improving but execution wise they have to come up very strongly as regional movies are now upscaling their quality.

Good as a Gujarati movie
23 July 2023
Sameer lodaya

The movie is good as a Gujarati movie because those types of movies are less seen in Gujarati

A very good attempt by viral to introduce such content in Gujarati regional cinema..Malhar came out in different role and played very well..all other characters were very well designed like tarot reader and Harshad mehta of scam..the humour was also very hilarious and was not that loud as it always does..the thrill the suspense the twists were made perfectly

Very proud to see such contents and making in Gujarati movies..this kind of new concepts will up lift the industry and will change the entire prospectus.

Trial Period (I) (2023)
5/10
Simple entertainment
22 July 2023
Sameer lodaya

The movie is just a simple ,soft and emotional entertainer

Now about the the concept of hiring a father on trail period is little weird but we are seeing a fiction where any thing is possible..I would suggest do not compare our daily lives and practicality with movies just see what they offer you

The movie goes in slow pace where zidane played very well with support from Manav who itself is a high performer and Genelia was ok..good soft emotions are flooded here with some good songs specially the Bengali song they presented

This weekend we got good options on ott like bawaal and this one.

What a combination
21 July 2023
Sameer lodaya.

The movie is one of the best combination of content ever found in Hindi movies

Nitesh once again came back with a unique concept with excellent direction after chhichhore here he offers you all the elements of a movie in nice crafted Combination..the movie has classic humour ,high emotions ,soft love story ,top notch performances, good songs and a great lesson on world war 2 with deep morals..some scenes were very touchy and gave goosebumps..the pace of the movie is slow which should be a matter to raise rest it is outstanding

The character of Varun which started as a fake guy with wrong attitudes and how he changes gradually till the end is played by him with all varieties of expression in a brilliant way.. janvis character from the start was very tender hearted with soft looks was marvellously played by her

The movie is meant to watch with all family members of all ages where everyone will get their share of entertainment by all means

The makers have perfectly targeted the ott audience which is classy and not masses but still a good addition to Bollywood dictionary.

Nadaan (childish) it is
16 July 2023
Sameer lodaya

The movie is yet another example of childish anthologies...

Senior actors which are seen majorly in all series and movies should do some good potential character rather than repeating same kind of roles which makes their screen presence boring..only Suhail played well rest all were below average..Mohit and Lara were wasted..

The stories did not have that strong effect of deepening love or emotion or pains which are essentials in a love story moreover it was very childish and unacceptable...

Not a single story was up to the mark of a love story...

Sorry for the negative reviews....

Failure!!!!!
16 July 2023
Sameer lodaya

The content of failure is well framed here with pure honesty..this series have major positives and negatives unlike the past ones

Positives: the character of Sandeep is very unique and marvellous played by sunny Very high quality of emotions were delivered which connects you with your failures The content is very strong and unique of failure which is very rarely seen

Negatives: too much emphasised on unacademy now TVF is a big brand it doesn't actually require such kind of advertising The last scene of a IAS talking to a parent was pathetic The journey of sandeep from a IAS drop out to become a PCS was missing Actors asking to review on IMDB is unnatural it should be organic Releasing episodes per week fails to connect the emotions

Above all a good family watch.

Long sad and slow murder mystery
16 July 2023
Sameer lodaya.

The series is so slow so long and so sad based on a murder mystery

They start with a murder of a local guy coming from London to get married in Punjab after the murder his best friend goes missing who is a NRI now the mystery starts of finding the murderer by the cops for 6 long episodes where they have unwontedly shown personal life of a cop which is mandatory sad now a days then they have added personal story of another cop and then they have another stories which has nothing to do with the murder

The climax is so sad and boring that you feel for this the series was made actually

Sorry for the negative reviews just wanted to give right feedback to the makers.
