Saba Nayagan (2023)
A perfect rom-com
The director of this movie cs kartikeyan cleverly uses several callbacks from classic films and manages to perfectly hit the nostalgia felling which all men would be able to feel. This movie is a perfect blend of romance, comedy and emotions. The crew does an Expectional job, especially the lead, Ashok Selvan as saba he is nearly in every other frame of the film but never makes you fell saturated and he is great in romantic portions. The female leads also do their job exceptionally well but kartika muralidaranhan is a standout among all the girls viviya(not sure about the spelling) as saba s sister is perfect,and the girl who played riya is has done the job but doesn't match the charm of ashok selvan she clearly is a mismatch in the song where the dance together. Megha akash also doesnt fail to impress us with her brief presence on screen. Jaiselan and arun fill the void for comic and are natural on the screen. This is films is so underrated. This film is for all men, clearly and cleverly depicts the struggles of a boy in getting his girl. This movie surely deserves tour time and attention.
Kho Gaye Hum Kahan (2023)
Worth watching
Kho gaye hum kahaan written by zoya akthar and directed by arjun varain revolves around three primary characters imad, neil, ahana played by siddhant adarsh gourav and ananya pandey respectively. Among the leads adarsh gourav is expectional and his portrayal of a middle class gym trainer is on point, ananya pandey too feels to be in the skin of her character and siddhant who doesn't have great writing behind his character also provides justice to his role. Kho gaye hum kahaan accurately portrays the complexity of relationship and friendships in the digital age also the dependence on our mobile phone effectively and Efficientely. This film has an excellent soundtrack which has a mellow quality and is sooting to your ears. This film slightly becomes preachy at times and also on the nose on fewer occasions. This also depicts the need for validation also extremely well. This is the most mumbaiish film you will ever witness. It has great setting and feels different thanks to art direction team. This film has certain flaws but on a overall stand point it is a great film. It has problems in it's social themes but if you just see it as a film it is not an issue. Kho gaye hum is no Znmd but it's worth watching.
12th Fail (2023)
Impresses and inspires
12th fail is not just the same old underdog story which we often watch in bollywood, it packs in lot of different things effectively and efficiently. 12th fail has a runtime of 2 hours 26 minutes but never makes you fell bored for even a second. Director vishnu vinod chopra does a fine job in packaging various elements varying from romance, drama and many more in an interesting manner. Vikrant massey gives a career defining performance and stands out as manoj kumar sharma. He is expectional in places where his character is emotional vulnerable. Medha shankar is impressive in her debut. Anant v joshi does a fine job in playing a selfish and frustrated friend of the lead but Anshumaan pushkar as gauri bhaiya is a revalation in this film. Rangarajan the cinematographer of this film does a great work in encapsulating the vibe of the place which is filled with aspirations of people. The romantic angle between the two leads never makes you cringe fells more natural than forced. 12th fail is not just an ordinary tale it is a tale of resilience, determination and many more. It deserves your time and attention. 12th fail is impressive and on the other hand inspiring.
