Ci sha xiao shuo jia (2021)
Two stories in one!
This movie takes you on a ride that you won't want to get off! An actor would jump at the chance to play any of the characters as they are all equally good and all important to the plot. And what a plot! A man's daughter is kidnapped and he will do anything to get her back. A fantasy novelist is creating more than he knows and is in more trouble than even he could imagine. A "Big Boss" wants to eliminate the writer and uses not his henchman, but a henchperson, that is, a woman who can hold her own in any fight. Add to that a man who is bent on revenge upon losing his sister, and a super-human giant(a God of Destruction)! The film has twists and turns and builds up to a frenzied climax. Should be seen in IMAX, but just see it!
Alludu Adhurs (2021)
Mirthfull, Madcap Mix-up!
Not only very funny but a movie with substance as well. Perfectly crafted with a handpicked cast. Plot deals with a father, prospective son-in-law, and friendship. Do zany comedies leave you confused? At one point, comic Satya gets up and asks a character, "who are you"? He is left confused. Then he asks someone else, "and who are you"? He becomes even more confused. We are too, but that's what makes this film so hilarious! The bottom line is that Alludu Adhurs opened against very tough competion and did ok. It really should have opened the week before. There are a lot of excellent viewer ratings and certainly plenty of viewers that are Sonu Sood fans! Performances, cinematography, music, story, script- all very good. The best performance of all might be that given by Prakash Raj as the father. Don't miss it! The song & dance numbers are the best to come along in a long while. It's too bad they didn't close-out with one instead of the usual out takes. The comedy includes some supernatural sequences and plenty of references to stars and movies. Alludu Adhurs leaves you wanting more so see it twice!
