Prison Break (2005)
Riveting
The series is reviteng and build up well wanting you to see more. The cast is well played and the Lincon the elder brother comes across well as slight dumb. Not sure 8f that is intentional. Clearly more muscles than brains. The rest of the story is hugely convincing and entertaining with some issues which suggest scary possibilities and truth of the illusion of freedom!
The idea of deep state and conspiracy theories come across well just as massive power games played by internation greedy agencies.
The government too comes under a serious and convincing scanner removing the facade of democracy and choice as we like to think of.
Very enjoyable and thought provoking.
Bloodlands: The Kidnapping (2021)
Excellent plot
The plot is intriguing and the cast is convinig. The video editing is rather substandard with frequent jerks. Totally avoidable. However the storyline and background music makes it decent. I liked the locations and characters which are not too cluttered.
This makes it worth watching subsequent episodes to see how the characters unfold . I do however hope that video editing is not to jerky as that can put you off. The storyline is set with violent and turbulent period in Northern Ireland. This allows exploring the painful conflicts of history. Most of us have forgotten the ugliness of it. Perhaps a brief recap if this may have made it more rivetting. Then again it is hoped that would unfold in the future episodes.
Satya (1998)
A refreshing expression from Bollywood
Bollywood is largely studded with hugely sanitised scenes and setup with actors largely dressed to perfection even in sleep!
This movie has a gritty storyline with hugely raw emotions. The musical interludes too seem to reflect the play of hugely tense life for a section of Mumbai life that is captured well with great locations to match.
Clearly a side of Mumbai worth visiting as it is done well.
The cast is well portrayed and avoid typical Bollywood clichés. Very much enjoyable.
PM Narendra Modi (2019)
A glimpse of a man who transformed the mindset of Indians
The story resonates hugely to what I have lived through. It could have been depictee with far greater number of events eating at the heart of the nation with ugliness at all levels. Guess the movie has been too kind to them.
Hugely informative and inspirational. Perhaps in a couple decades it would be more poignant depicted with far more ugly tragic events that to the passionate rise of Mr Modi who stood true to his words and showed by action.
Those stunted by decades of colonial mindset would find it hard to assimilate this.
I am not a poiltical person but happy to called a bhakt as it certainly is a complement.
Certainly worth watching as it depicts largely true events of very difficult period of the nation.
Mission Mangal (2019)
Dreams are to be believed
This is not about informing the viewer about the scienctific graphics about space travel or reaching Mars with fancy resources.
It is about simple people living very ordinary lives but driven to dream big with shoestring budgets and little support.
The daily lives impinging on their passion and unswerving devotion to give their nation a place in history is really commendable.
The movie takes you through day to lives of the characters chosen for the mission that was considered laughable by many.
There nothing wrong with filling the heart with national pride. This comes across throughout the movie.
The cast also reflects ordinary people without special recognition or fame. This truly is story of many Indians who have risen from ashes and contributed immensely with phenomenal results in all areas.
Enjoy this to observe the proud moments felt by very ordinary Indians out to achieve extraordinary heights.
