Jaatishawr (2023)
Jatishwar 2023 - Avoidable attempt
Many good shows steaming on hoichoi and bad shows as well. This lies among the bad shows.
Very predictable story.
Bad acting by the lead actress and that's completely director's fault, as i have seen same actress perform brilliantly in other shows and movies.
Illogical incidents happening, a girls who is danger to herself as she has been shown walking at the edge of the terrace, is left alone to walk here and there alone to click photographs.
Such a waste of my time.
To the director, you are so lucky that you are getting a chance to direct a show, not everyone gets this chance, then why did you waste it by making such a lame show ??
You could have utilised the chance and made something great, if not atleast something good or engaging.
U Turn (2023)
U turn - It was a nice chilly watch on a hot summer night.
After my office shift ended. At 9:30pm I opened my laptop and was just think what to watch. I remembered that i saw a 15 sec trailer of a murder mystery film on Zee5. So i launched Zee5 and i found the name is U Turn. So i switched off the light in my room and put on the lights in the adjacent room so it isn't complete dark. And then I watched the whole movie at a go.
And believe me time just flew by, as the story is very engaging, BGM was so good, acting performances were top notch, production of the movie seemed pretty good, camera work was excellent, with very good direction and sharp editing.
Alaya F , after i saw her last perform on Freddy, this was another very good performance from her .
I watch all kinds of movies but still I just love watching a horror or murder mystery done right way. And this was murder mystery with a pinch of horror done right way.
I gave this 9 on 10 as i very rarely see a mystery or a horror done right in Indian film industry.
I want to mention the reason now, on why i deducted 1 star or 1 point from the movie. Which is - Wrong casting of honourable actor Mr Manu Rishi Chaddha as Inderjeet Singh. Manu sir is a great actor, but i really felt he was not the right choice for this role, even though he gave the best performance he could, i have no complaints on that. But still I feel someone else should have been casted for Inderjeet. Someone like a chameleon who gets completely lost in the color of the role he is playing.
And On top of my mind, 1 actor's name which i could have suggested if I was somehow related in making of this film. Mr Pawan Malhotra, another great actor of Indian film industry. I am sure if Someone like Pawan sir would been casted he would have taken the role of Inderjeet on to a next level.
So due to wrong casting the ending of the movie dipped a bit.
But over it was a nice watch.
Recommended to anyone who is looking to watch a good murder mystery.
Four More Shots Please! (2019)
Absolutely trash after watching the 3rd season
I saw 4 more shots please season 1,2 and 3 , on December 2022. So i watched it at a go in 2 weeks. Really liked season 1 and 2 , but season 3 is so bad that I am rating this overall show as only 1. Else if I would have to rate only 1st 2 season only, then would rate them 7 on 10.
Same characters who were so sensible till season 2 ... Are doing brainless and nonsense thing in season 3, by episode 7 it was close to unbearable. Mostly because of non sense story development and too much over acting by Manavi Gagroo.
My suggestion you may watch 4 more shots please, 2 season, but still what's the point?? There are so many amazing shows available , then why waste your time watching this very mediocre and average show .. and season 3 is just unwatchable. Very bad writing for season 3.
Jalsa (2022)
Jalsa - Promising start but lost somewhere in between.
A very well acted movie. I really like to watch this kind of movies made in bollywood which has story/script as there main highlight and not so called Bollywood stars showing there ego on screen. But this movie Jalsa, i wanted to love it, i wanted to enjoy it, but i just couldn't because of the lack of effective story telling, yes i understand you wanted to show the inner conflicts of the charecters but you can't just pause the story in between, after 30 mins the story just didn't move forward. After the 1st remarkable 30 mins i was expecting some exciting thing to happen in the storr but it didn't. Really felt bad as this had lot of potential to be a great film, but it just became just another movie that i will forget it after few days. A movie that started great and became lame later on.
As I said at 1st great acting by the actors, but bad story telling spoiled everything for me.
Terrifier (2016)
Terrifier - Do not watch this movie
Any body reading this , please don't watch this really bad movie. It's such a dumb movie making, that it feels like someone made this movie just for passing their time. Nonsense ways to get killed, really a stupid movie. Very irritating when you see on screen people doing just utterly childish thing and getting themselves killed. That's a nightmare for a horror movie lover.
I consider IMDb rating above 5 for a horror movie to be a watchable or enjoyble horror movie. So looking at the rating above 5 for this movie I thought to give it a try, as Terrifier 2 was showing in my suggestion so I thought I should watch the 1st part to enjoy the 2nd part better, but a huge mistake that i made. This movie is surely on top 10 of my worst movies i have ever seen or list of movies which shoudnt have been made or released.
New Girl (2011)
Sometimes good mostly bad
All the characters are so annoying, it's like all of them competed with each other to prove who is most annoying. And the award goes to Zooey for playing the most annoying charector i have ever seen "Jess"
The character of 'Cece' was the only non annoying charector. Won't recommend this to anyone.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
As a cinema , it's similar to magic 10/10
I watched this on IMAX 3d, so what i paid and what i saw on screen was just brilliant...it was worth every penny that i spent on it.
Now later on coming back home, if i think in little intellectual way then yes I may agree it was Wanda Maximoff in the multiverse and doctor strange was in it.
Doctor strange literally had no chance against Wanda.
But it was Directors and Marvels idea to go with the way they think...and what they thought and have put on an iMax screen isn't bad at all it's amazing, rather it isn't just a normal movie because , you get see such amazingly choreographed CGI, never seen before and visually magnificent.
So i have no complains at all. Such movies with huge fan base can never satisfy every fan. Avenger series was an acception.
I'm sure if i would have watched this on my laptop or tablet 1st time...impact wouldn't have been same as seeing a movie on an iMax screen. I am saying this as i see lot of movies on my tablet and laptop 😆😆
Shiddat (2021)
Shiddat - Great love story 10/10
They say a person in love may end up doing crazy things and that's what this movie is. If i remember correctly then last romantic movie that made me feel something was Laila Majnu saw in 2019. Now i have to say this movie made me feel something too , really happy to be have seen this movie. As i watch lot of movies so it's really hard to remember each one....but this movie falls in that special place where I keep Movies that I will always remember as they had some impact on me.
Sunny kaushal was very charming in the movie , very well acted , and because of his charming presence the movie really becomes very emotional by the end.
Everyone else justified their role.
Good direction, committed story writing as this kind of really needs lot of commitment so hats off to the writer , they could have easily decided not write this or make this as it's border lining absurdity. But as they committedly went with the whole thing that's why it comes together. Good production value . Wonderful original music that's not just noise like we hear mostly, but some really good written well composed and nicely sung songs.
I rarely these days get to see a good love story be it Hindi english or any other language. Mostly it's a miss . But I really appreciate this movie , after i watched it on Disney Hotstar. I really felt that i would have happily paid for ticket and watch it on a big screen in theatre.
Fresh (2022)
Something different that's what I felt about the movie
I feel 8.5 is the correct rating, just gave it 10 seeing below 7 rating here today 21/04/2022..
Anyways I knew there was something shocking in the movie going in, as I heard about the movie vaguely from somewhere, but yes I didn't watch the trailer at all.
So for me this falls under the same genre as movies like hostel , Saw, AHS assylum etc.
So I will judge this movie as per the genre it was made for.. and in my opinion it was a very well made movie, they didn't rush which I like about the movie, but I can definitely understand if someone had any problems with the pace... But for me it was a good slow burner kind of a gore movie. Direction , camera work was very natural, felt too real at times ... production value as per the requirement of such movie with limited recovery expectation was good and mentionable,
Now this movie couldn't be made without brilliant and near perfect acting, it would just go absurd, but that didn't happen , 2 lead actors just pulled this off with very natural and believable performance.
I watch this genre of movies like once in a year or 2, don't hate or don't love it ... But every time I see such movies it gets little heavy, i remember in AHS assylum season, there was a similar story on a lawyer who has basement( PPL who have seen will know ) that one felt very heavy too.
Anyways as I have said before, for what it was intended to be made by the makers ....it's a very well made film.
Will i see it again on my own , then No.... But then again I might have to see this with my girl again pretending to be 1st watch , so i have to act surprise i guess ;) ... We enjoy watching all movies together be it any genre. Thats what beauty is when all kinds of flowers in one garden, all kinds people at one place living together and in same way we can watch all kinds of movies at our finger tip now...loving the time we are in.
Homeland (2011)
A very well made series "Homeland"
Till now among all the series that I have seen(so much content, lot is left) Carrie played by Claire Danes is the one of the best acted role by a lead character.
Very realistic, sometimes I didn't agree with the decisions made by the makers in the show, but they were bold enough to go with it and with full commitment, so even i was angry some times because of the decisions made by charecters but still they had good way of coming back to show why they did that and I enjoyed the show like anything , Thanks to the makers for making this fine series "Homeland".
Grahan (2021)
Grahan - A well made web series with strong emotions
Loved watching the web series Grahan. A well directed and a brilliantly acted web series. A must watch for sure. Story was based on real events so some scenes are hard to watch because they are so brilliantly performed with great camera work. Production casting everything was just perfect.
Special mention for the music and the background score, this is the first time that I am mentioning for a web series that it has a beautiful songs and the songs didn't disrupt the flow it actually added more emotions.
And I think from 6th episode they added a shehnai background score with all the emotional scenes, that score is heart touching.
It tore my heart out everytime that music was played.
THAT 30 seconds SHEHNAI SCORE WAS SOUL OF GRAHAN,
Well done to the whole team.
Laila Majnu (2018)
A beautiful movie about love, loved it.
One of my favourite film, great direction, stunning cinematography, apt production, amazing screenplay.
2 things that really stands out is its soulful music by Niladri kumar and an outstanding performance by Avinash Tiwari, it felt like he was born to perform the role of Qais(majnu)
Tripti has also done a fantastic job and she looks stunning as Laila. And all the supporting cast was good.
Special mention for lyricist Irshad Kamil and all the beautiful singers Atif, Arijit,Mohit,Babul,Shreya,Jonita,Javed Ali, one of the best music album created for a movie in recent years.
Haseen Dillruba (2021)
I really enjoyed watching this movie
A well made entertainment
Acting was just amazing in the movie, vikrant and Tapsee drove the movie with their craft, Its fresh to watch the chemistry between them.. story, direction,production,camera work rest all the departments did there job well,
this movie didn't require songs but since you have them so thats why I have to say,
wish songs were more melodious, really good memorable songs would have taken this movie in a different level, like raazi, that movie shouldn't have so many songs but they had songs and songs were so melodious they added to the movie.
The Mandalorian (2019)
I found it amazing to watch The Mandalorian.
I'm not a follower of the star wars verse...so I saw this as just another series. And this was really a mind blowing one.. Everything looks 100% exact as it should be, so that's the level of CGI used in this, just brilliant. Thanks to all the people involved in making this gem. It's actually a 4hr movie. I love to see many seasons coming of this show
Note : I saw some bad reviews..I am suprised ..how can some one feel bad about this amazing show
