Bandish Bandits (2020)
The Magic of Indian Music
I want to categorize my reviewed in 5 categories:
1. Must Watch 2. Highly Recommended 3. Recommended 4. Can live without it 5. Waste of Time
I would rate this one a 1. Must Watch.
This series has put back the Indian classical music on the fore front of the viewers. Indian Classical was getting an old age music but this lovely web series is going to re generate the love withing the hears of the viewers, once again. Complete family show which will be liked by all age groups, which would also increase its viewer base.
The acting from all the actors are just amazing, be it a character of the guruji or main lead's friend or actress' secretary. Everyone has put in the best that they have got. But the main actor of this series is the music, songs and the background score.
The stroy is nice, nothing unpredictable other then the entry of the abandoned student but even that is shown amazingly. I was amazed by the last competition and the song "Meri Sakhi" just takes you in a different world. The way it was acted, pictured and sung was just fabulous. The title track is also good but my personal favorite is "Lab Par Aaye".
This series will also make those people sing who does not like music much or rather Indian music much. Will look forward to the second season.
Durgamati: The Myth (2020)
Could have lived without it
I want to categorize my reviews in 5 categories :
1. Must Watch 2. Highly Recommended 3. Recommended 4. Can live without it 5. Waste of Time
I would put 4 for this movie. This was an remake of a south indian movie Bhaagmathie. There will be 2 type of audience that this move will get. First, the ones who have not watched the south movie. My ratings are more reflective of these type of audience since they would rate this move to be average. And second who have watched the south indian movie, for them this would be a very bad attempt to remake it.
The story of this movie is same as south movie, infact it is so much same that if you put 2 tele side by side and watch both movies, you will be able to compare the movie frame by frame. The suspance of this story is remarkable however the execution of the bollywood movie is very bad. The dialouges in hindi are very weak compare to the south movie and the acting also.
The main lead has done a good job but her voice could not match the loudness that the character required and hence many of the dialogues when she becomes the ghost sounds very ordinary. Same with the CBI inspector role. The charactors appear to be very weak and does not leave a mark on the mind of the viewers.
If I compare this to the south movie then i can see that he attention to the minor details in the south movie had made that one more enjoyable. For e.g. the entry scene where Anushka shetty, a government secretory, greets the contestable but not accepting a sweet is a very subtle way of showing the generosity as well as authority. The entry scene of Bhumi does not leave the same impression in viewers mind.
Cinematography and background score are good. Arshad warsi also was really good in his acting but his good role looks a bit fake. Overall a good time pass movie but could have live without watching it. Also if it not the remake of the south movie then the lack of comparison would have got this one a slightly higher ratings.
Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story (2020)
MUST Watch.....One of the Best Web Series ever Made so far
I want to categorize my reviewed in 5 categories and I would put this one as No.1 for Scam 1992.
1. Must Watch
2. Highly Recommended
3. Recommended
4. Can live without it
5. Waste of Time
Hansal Mehta has done a fabulous job in re creating the characters and scenarios of 1992 time. He has also done amazing job in selecting right actors for right characters. The balance and importance of every character can been see with the fact that the impact the CBI inspector's character has been felt equally as the main lead character. All the character played an impactful acting which leaves you with their impression in mind, even after you finish the series. And the highest credit goes to the main lead Pratik Gandhi. What an powerhouse of acting. I have seens his work in regional cinema and has always admired it. But in this role, he has given best of his career so far.
The dialougs and the background score in the series is also highly impactful. I specially liked the fact that the dialogues are impactful even though they dont use any course language, which has become sort of a trend in OTT platform in India.
The most amazing thing::
Even though the director showed the financial aspects in great detail, he did not make this either a documentary (like Bad boys millionaire) or showed the Lead character of Harshad mehta as fraud villain, which is most common in these type of series. He kept the essence of the human psychology of ambition (turning in to) success (turning in to) arrogance (turning in to) downfall of a human journey. Director also kept the political angles in involved in the scam but saved it from becoming a political drama and kept the experience very real. I would also give credit to the OTT platforms who is allowing directors to show detailing around the stories.
It was a delight to watch this Master piece. Hopefully more and more of these projects get right funding and space on this new emerging Indian OTT platform.
Arjun: The Warrior Prince (2012)
Excellent movie for people who don't know Mahabharat
Excellent movie who want to see "Arjun" in 2 hours.
I have seen other animation movies made on Indian epics. But this seems to be the best of all. Excellent Animation, Direction, Story, Sound track, everything. The songs and dialogs of the movie are excellent. The climax I thought could have been better as they build up nicely but did not led to expectations. This movie definitely seems to take the Indian animation movie to the next level and I have also known the way they made this movie that is the main reason I liked it and I gave 8/10.
However, the movie sure differentiate a lot from the actual epic and must not be watched for knowledge purpose or to know Mahabharata. There are many mistakes in the movie and story line as well, which, If I start explaining, may take a lot of my time.
Those who want to watch this, for entertainment purpose, for making their children aware about some hero in Indian history, for those who like animation and sound effects, for those who live abroad and want to see or show a glance of Indian ancient story to their family members, and for few others this is an excellent attempt by Arnab Chaudhuri.
Those who knows Mahabharata, those who want to know Mahabharata, those who like more realistic and factual storyline, you all must no rely on this movie as this is purely a animation movie.
Overall a pretty good attempt.
