Example of bad acting and plot
16 May 2024
II had high expectations for this movie, but it was a major disappointment. The plot falls flat, primarily due to poor acting.

Ajay Devgan looked haggard and tired from the first scene. His character is similar to those in his recent films-someone who goes to great lengths to take care of his family. This repetitive role added to the overall sense of fatigue.

Mahadevan, playing the antagonist, was supposed to be a menacing presence, but his performance and appearance were unconvincing. His portrayal of the character lacked depth and nuance, making it difficult to take him seriously.

It became evident that when the plot is weak, even the actors lose interest.

The only saving grace of the movie were the two female leads, who delivered strong performances despite the film's many shortcomings.

Avoid it.

Tight but direction less plot
16 March 2024
I had lots of expectations but after one hr I lost the interest Suspicion jump from one to another without showing a solid reason Pankaj Tripathi disappointed directed tried to portrayed him as famous character of Agatha Christie Mr poirot but he didn't had that charisma or style as I have seen BBC made long series on his character I couldn't able to stop myself comparing. He did tried to act like Karam chand another famous character and failed miserably Sana Ali khan acted well but her character were poorly written In the end her face lacked the expression character demanded Karishma and Dimple were good in their role and acting Ny way it was not v bad May be my expectation was too high I love this genre so hope director will make another movie on this genre with better plot.

A good book go bad because of bad acting
6 January 2024
I know many will disagree but I want actors who have fillers and Botox should not be given major role Main actress and mother in law whenever they come on screen it gives me cringe Such a good drama tight story I didn't watched in one go as it kept me hooked

Even some scenes were illogical The main actress is an an ex army and still she went on asking directly things instead of thinking logically and enquiring before that I m just a reader of thriller and crime stories and I can see how she is behaving I will still say go and watch if u like suspense and thriller it does keep u hook would have been better with a good actress playing a main character.

A good theme went for politics
24 November 2023
I have been always v sensitive about this case .

I remember when it happened and I used to read every day about it updats I so much wanted to see this series movie starts with abusing Mahatma Gandhi and I was like what is this than Rajeev Gandhi and reminder of how congressis were attacking sikh an dit has been mentioned few times in the series later in the train series some men entered and try to kill a sikh boy I was already totally lost interest but the tipping point was when they showed jamaati try to get in train at the Bhopal junction Director has used a strongly made film for BJ party propaganda and thats the biggest lt down acting of KK and Imad is very good though I just watched 4 episodes and i don't think now I am interested in watching it WHy ? Why do u have t do this.

A masterpiece
21 November 2023
Blue Eye Samurai" is a mesmerizing journey that steals your heart from its very first scene, largely due to the captivating character of Mizo. The storyline delves into the enraged, revenge-fueled path of a young samurai, weaving a gripping tale that keeps you hooked till the very end. What truly shines is the portrayal of each character, drawing viewers deeper into their complexities and motivations.

The production quality of this drama is undeniably top-notch, evident in its visually stunning cinematography. The use of a storytelling-inside-a-story technique adds an artistic layer, engaging audiences on multiple narrative levels. Reminiscent of Chinese wuxia dramas, it's a testament to the craftsmanship of the series.

The color schemes and lighting choices further elevate the viewing experience, creating a visually captivating ambiance that adds depth to the storytelling. Personally, I find myself inclined to rewatch this series in one go, drawn back to its compelling narrative and visual allure.

"Blue Eye Samurai" isn't just a show; it's an immersive experience that seamlessly blends a gripping plot, well-developed characters, top-tier production, and an artistic storytelling approach reminiscent of classic Chinese wuxia dramas.

good message which got lost in production
15 October 2023
Being a teacher who teach sex education in school and who have been vocal about it for many years I found this movie intrigued but message was not delivered correctly Movie starts good production is good acting is very good Vami just acts glamours didnt find her acting interesting love the actress who played pankaj Tripathi's wife her acting as mother and when in witness box is too good and yes who steals the show is Pankaj tripathi he is a great actor and played his role to the hilt Its the bold topic for Indian audiance so I understood its not a family movie but a must watch for parents How many time parents discuss sex education with children? Why we hush hush the sex topic under the carpet have seen teenagers worried about their body size of breast and penis are the biggest concern In the movie they didnt elaborate the topic my question was why no one talked about the bullying? Why no one talked about who made the video and who posted it in social media ? Why those boys were not punished Ye sforgot to mention Akshay in his small role was impressive.

Devdas (I) (2002)

Its a masterpiece
4 October 2023
I had watched the movie when it got released and that time i loved Shahrukh khan scenes a lot but I could never comprehend this childhood love they glorify in movies but now after many yrs of tribulant in life I understand and can feel it Last night I re watched it in HD on Xiome Tv and I loved the movie very colourful and vibrant Shahrukh khan acted really well I must say its his best movie Aishwariya looks so beautiful and acted well too

I liked every ones acting Kiron kher take the cakes in other than main lead and so does that young girl in shahrukh family who is just evil I remember seeing her in some dramas before she is a good actor The weakest link was Madhuri Dixit this character was well palyed by Vyjanthimala in other version of Devdas but here I found her charcetr has been glorified more than needed specially the last scene , why Devdas tell her that he feels love for her if they could have edited some of the scenes I would have given it 10 the song dola rey and dialogues tehre after were un necessary Shahrukh is great in this in movie I get it why he has the biggest international fans among Indian actors his presence on screen lit up the screen, his eyes when happy when sad when romantic just speak volume his dialogue tum ney kahan duniya chorr do have becme v famouse I also loved scene when he says shradd karana hei Pls do watch this movie if u want to really enjoy great cinema waiting for Leela Bhansali another movies only if he can edit better.

1 October 2023
But I have read the book and I didnt like the narration here In the book everything is solved at the end but here they showed the murder in the burning Inspector role in the book is very impressing here it was otally different cinematography is too dark colour coordination has been kept to make it dark mystry acting was every one did a great job and a big applause to the producer to pick one of the book cause i m very disaapointed with today's Indian movie they hardly touch books now like old time its. Agreat drama do watch one more point i was impressed with kareena she has hardly worn ny makeup here you can see her skin texture and even pores in todays time of botox and filters she looks genuin

This writers other books are also good some one should make movie on thos etoo.

Over acting and exaggerated
29 May 2023
Many recommended me this movie so I thought to give it a try first half an hr and I gave up her husband is misogynist typical man who thinks he can hit his wife and it will be fine she doesnt know how to control emotion I doubted if she is educated? The way she behaves in fron of the councills does shows she needs helpl As Indian why do we have to show every other culture an d country is bad , by this movie they have made life for other migrant appeal in trouble I read the comment that norway embassy ossues a notice and asked to put a claim that its more on fiction than a real thing lol but the movie has be promoted as a real life story and I can bet no one will search of the exact incident Frankly i m tired of the type of Indians making movie so much propaganda so much lies If u r intellectual and educated avoid the movie two star fo rthe real woman who fought this case.

very well made movie
11 October 2022
Just finished watching and surprisingly Liked it I don't watch Hindi movies but have just finished one long series so in between wanted to watch something light.

Its official adaptation of Forrest gump and is really a good adaptation in context of Indian culture Aamir khan , Mona singh and Kareena played their part so well Fallen in love with simplicity of laal singh chaddha yes i"s it better to be innocent an dnot to understand nything or is it important to understand complexity of life and make life more complicated " Thats the one question one ponder over at the end. He goes through life he laughs he cries but he goes on moving forward.

watch it for acting
14 February 2022
I liked the treatment of story, its not focus on illicit relationship but on what one goes through if u get involve guilt, frustration and depression become part of it . Some suicide ( Vaishali's mom ) some goes in depression ( Deepika's character ) Acting is top notch characters are well written Deepika loves to challange herself and she did a great job not only she looks awesome and sexy she acts brilliantly too. Naseeruddin is as usual great Rajat kapoor is another one who stand out . Music is v good . Its not a movie which u re watch again and again cant it makes u uncomfortable as I have seen this case in my life myself . But big applause to the production team.

Plus point is it cinematography which capture moments and the whole colour palate of the movie is nice as per the mood of the movie.

19 December 2019
I watched the first episode and didn't understood any thing was about to give up , but thank God didnt know Its one of the best series I watched and I watched it twice than later searched the Novel read , watched the anime and , now watching again Story is strong acting of the two main leads Wei wuxian and Yibo is just great o watch you just wanted to shipped them and protect them. One advice to some who wants to give up after first two episode as you wont undersatnd anything. but just give yourself two more episode and you will experience the bests ride of your life Don't miss it

Yang Mi is as good as ever but thats it
6 November 2019
This series is just ok, you can watch it once after 40 episodes I just forwarded, there are lot many loopholes in the plot. you can divide the series in many parts and you cant connect them. The acting of main leads is good but they cant keep the weak plot keeping you hooked seems some scene was lifted from Eternal love series Yan gi and Ethan Juan have good chemistry Watch it once

Aladdin (2019)
8/10
Go and watch
30 May 2019
After a long time any movie made me feel connected to the magical world. I was smiling through out the movie. In my childhood even I wanted a Genie and we used to discuss among sibling if we get a Ginn what will we wish for. Its all started when I read 1000 Arabian night All stories are so awesome . One of the best book I read it three times even read after I finished my Ph.D. Today's s children dont know what is magic ? what is genie ? , Reading motivate imagination and creativity which is lacking now aschildren now prefer mobile game or movie. ny way Go and watch the movie "Alladin" awesome movie remember your childhood fav cartoon Will Smith is so good as a genie ^_^ I will watch it again One question why noone tries other stories of 1000 ARabian nights other than this and Alibaba . All stories are good

Wanted to go out after one hr
28 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is any thing but best of Avengers series. Its slow and boring , only the last 30 min of war was good, scenes of iron man and Thanos era was well picturised everything else one can skip. Time travel is not so easy to explain and its said in the movie itself you cant kill ny one in time travel, then how one character dies , dont want to give spoiler but after that scene I realise this script was not enough research, director should have thought of something but time travel as mean to fight back. Any ways its well picturised , three main characters are gone so I think now you wont get to see them ny more Dont expect too much from this movie Infinity war was better

13 Reasons Why (2017–2020)
Acting great characters weak
20 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I enjoyed the series , being a teacher I have seen such characters around me Acting is top notch Hannah, clay , Justin,Jessica should be mentioned for their acting skills, But I find holes in story some episode just drag like the episode about her poetry session I found Hannah's character weak, demanding selfish, she had good loving parents but she feels lonely, she makes wrong friends , OK, but why go too them again and again .Clay is not at fault at all when some one says NO, but he was portrayed as an evil and he was filled with guilt and remorse, is it right for some one to feel guilt for others wrong doing.Doesn't we teach when girl says No it means NO, so what did she expected ?Jessica knew and remember she had been raped( There were some flash back) but she still didn't know how to cope , she forgives Bryce but blamed Justin , Mr porter : how is he at fault he did what his job tells him to do , it has its limitation, He could have alerted authorities or may be her parents but don't know if it comes under her role as a teacher. instead of feeling sympathy for Hannah I felt sympathy for Justin and clay Life is tough and we have to train our children to cope up with it instead of expecting from other to adjust to my all whims and fancy STill serial is good I was hooked
