Tiger 3 (2023)
Met expectations but did not exceed them.
Salman's Tiger 3, Met expectations but did not exceed them.
The story/plot is out dated and cringy with Terrorism and Pakistan. Tiger and Zoya go on a personal mission to save Junior. While saving junior they also save the Pakistani PM and Democracy! With the number of times "democracy" being used in the movie, I thought it was Biden fighting for democratic values.
The action sequences are death, gravity and logic defying. Bike chases are phenomenal! On par or even better than Hollywood movies. The much talked about Katrina's towel scene definitely has good stunts/fight sequences.
We acknowledge that Salman Khan is not known for his acting. But he has no dialogues only words! Katrina is good with action but can't deliver a dialogue, she should have been given words! Emraan Hashmi.. not much to add there.
SRK has a cameo, but I don't think it will have an impact on this movie. Overall, It will be difficult for Salman's Tiger 3 to match the success of Pathaan and Jawan.
Pathaan (2023)
Finally a Bollywood Super Hit!!
After repeated losses to Tollywood, Kollywood and Sandalwood, Pathaan is the winner that Bollywood has been waiting for!
Pathaan, Indian orphan kid who joins the army becomes spy, takes us through a global action packed extravaganza. He puts an end to Jim (rogue Indian agent) who is hired by a Pakistani colonel to conspire a war between India and Pakistan. Pathaan also has help from Rubai an ISI agent through this journey.
SRK's charisma carries the movie. John Abraham is brilliant in all action sequences, but comes out as a cute villain. Deepika is sizzling and stunning. She should get a solo movie like black widow after this. There are so many memorable chases and action sequences but the chase on the frozen lake was phenomenal. Cameo appearance by Tiger is a masterstroke. I am sure it will bring out all Bhai fans to fill up the theaters.
Yes, the story is weak...but who cares! Action is so good that while watching the movie you have to remind yourself this is Bollywood not Hollywood!
Thousands of people who work in Bollywood needed a respite. And it's biggest star King Khan has delivered! Go spend money and watch it in the movie theater.
This one for Bollywood!
Ghahreman (2021)
Feels Real!
Iranian film with innovative plot by Asghar Farhadi.
Amir Jadidi caries the movie. He wrestles with a moral dilemma and tries to do the right thing but circumstances do not favor him. He beautifully portrays the character's mild mannerisms and shows his anger due to festering frustrations and flare ups. Supporting cast has done a great job. Overall a decent movie which feels REAL and offers the viewer something new.
Pushpa: The Rise - Part 1 (2021)
OMG!
A Rajni style modern day telugu movie with a Bollywood flair.
It has eveything! A proud, angry, common man with humble arrogance, motherly love with sad story and societal pressures, brotherly hatred, cringy romance, never seen before dance routines and action packed sequences. One liners like "Main jukhega Nahin" that will linger with you.
Definitely the worst movie of the year so far, but it's so GOOD!
Hope you enjoy it.
