Dhootha (2023– )
8/10
Good Work - Different and Worthy
16 June 2024
Dhoota is a Webseries. I liked the direction and script of the series. Its well written and executed.

The plot is nice. It moves in a good flow in the timeline and the attempt to keep the thrill is great. Some acting is offcourse overwhelming because of the usual work done in Telugu movies but it is still very well executed.

There are some goofs here an there but thats ok, the overall part is well done.

I liked the way Dhoota has taken the web thriller series of Telugu cinema to a next level. There are some shots which are an exaggeration of violence which gave the final destination vibe.

Overall a worth watch and I would recommend to viewers to watch it.

Teenage Flick
10 March 2024
I used to love Fast and Furious movies as teenager. I still like those old ones and the way they were carried.

But with time I have got saturated with the same set of action, same set of cars, same twists and same story lines. As if the entire world is hell bent to destroy Torato and his family. :D

Jokes apart they have ran out of story line. Just adding Reacher and Captain Marvel won't let you continue with the same set of movies.

There are nearly 20-30 cliche dialogues which you have heard in other movies. I hope the next part is better and the finale for this series so it can close with respect.

Teenagers. Action sequence lovers may like this. I watched it mainly for those.

A T-Virus Disappointment
24 December 2023
Serious non sense. I believe if it was not in Animated version it would look like those third class movies with no sense.

The stories overlaps without connect. They want to show the villain with some logic where the logic is missing. The motivation of villain to kill the entire world is because they forced him to kill his friend. Non sense.

Villain is in guilt so he made this new bio drones crap and it seems he can control those so he set them free.. Are you kidding me..

Then there are random backstories of someone killing someone and she needs revenge. The villain's sidekick kicked ass of a really athletic muscular man just like anything and in the end dies a cliche death.

The monster kept getting bigger and bigger and nonsense kept getting huge simultaneously.

I have never watched such huge ridiculous movie.

At last the dialogues will make you laugh because they are all one liners copied and modified from all action movies.

Liked It
23 December 2023
It's based on true events. The actoresses have done a good job in depicting the real life people and life how it is. It's not unrealistic crap.

The flow of the movie is nice and it's directed well. The step by step progress and challenges are well depicted.

The one thing I liked is the journey which is lovely and inspiring. Also everything is not about posting it on social media the real adventure or trip or travel is for you and how you feel about it.

How bikers feel and how they enjoy the journey is real. I can really imagine the fun and feel of such travels. Loved that part.

The message of female empowerment is clear and people should really understand why it is important for everyone men and women to have the freedom.

This Is Not How You End A Movie
18 December 2023
It started well with a small family, going for a Vacation etc.

I was expecting some horrors but none. Some twists but none.

Some pointers which were covered were really interesting on where its going like Tesla Cars, GPS, Navigation, Animals etc.

But the ending was really bad. It should not have ended like that. You cannot end a movie like this. Its not a cliff hanger also which is used. Its like all of a sudden the credits start rolling. I thought I skipped something so I went back but it was the ending.

There were some good thread picked but they went nowhere.

With such a good cast Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke and Mahershala Ali I was expecting something better.

My recommendation is either you dont watch it and if you do then watch till 2 hrs and stop it. Enjoy the post apocalypto vibe and stop it there.

Not Worth It
3 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Its absolute rubbish.

I wonder how it came to my Netflix suggestion. The story line is all over the place. The brother and sister keep telling each other some non sense story about past etc. Which doesnt relate to the plot at all.

The person chasing them was never revealed, doesnt die from bullet shot next to his heart, doesnt die from Jeep turning sideways, does magically put Scorpion in car, does magically steal the shoes, magically hack the Police Radio etc.

WOW. And he still sucks in getting his revenge. LOL.

Overacting from the Baraa. Fatima was at least better.

I wouldn't suggest anyone to watch this garbage.

Rated 4 for some nice pieces here and there.

A Good Try
9 January 2023
I must say this was a very good try and efforts from the Writer and the Director in giving a good fantasy / Super hero movie.

The concept of connecting the storyline with Indian Mythology was a good angle. Overall launching part 1 and two was also a good strategy. Loved this idea and goal.

Disappointment is the romantic angle. This mad the movie a masala flick. Ranbeer and Alia were funny when they were acting in the romantic scenes. Within 1 days they are crazily in love with each other, Wow..

Also the dialogues which were supposed to be funny were not looking funny due to the acting done by both of them. They could do better for sure.

This doesnt meet the Hollywood standards but effort is worth appreciation. Would love to watch part II. Maybe they do better there.

Good Watch
30 December 2022
I have not watched the movie Helen so the story line was new for me. But yes as usual the end was expected and was not a surprise.

For a normal viewer it would be a good watch but for a person who watch good amount of Hollywood, Bollywood and South Indian Movies it will be okay types and not great.

Jahnavi has acted normally and not sure why people called her expressionless. She has done the climax scene very well and overall also she has acted good.

Storyline and plot is simple and I would suggest folks to watch is once at 1.5x if needed. People who like comparing Hollywood / Bollywood / Tollywood / Sandlewood can go and watch what they want instead of comparisons. :)

One time watch
28 November 2022
The acting of Madhavan was not at par with his level. Somehow he was not completely in the character. On the other side Khushali has done a real good job.

Storyline was a little obvious and I could make out the angle half way through. You can watch it once to get the bollywood masala.

The hidden or subtle message from the movie however is good and the same thing is happening in real life too.

Storyline was designed in a good way and direction was good too but too many loopholes and goofs will make you find it a little funny at many times. If you dont have anything else to watch in suspense give it a try.

Dobaaraa (2022)

Good Flick
1 November 2022
The concept is similar to "The Butterfly Effect" but its twisted and modified so I found something new based on that.

The concept of time is a difficult theory to understand so there is no one who is right. This stood right too. Some folks who dont even know the concept of time will find it illogical but I find it interesting.

Acting by both the actors was good. Some shots in the beginning were copies from some western serials but still it was worth a watch. A little drag in between but you would still want to see it till the end.

Good movie by Taapsee. Loved it. .................................

Watch For Action
26 July 2022
The film has very good action sequences but the story line or I should say the timeline is all over the place.

Timeline is all over the world literally because the location keeps changing. :D

Overall story is pretty common but Ryan has done a good job of copying any bond he can.

Worth one watch.

Its Bollywood - No Loose Ends Please
24 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Bollywood audience expect closure. The newer audience is still ok with loose ends but the traditional folks dont.

Based on this I suggest someone to not waste their precious time on this one. The ending was not just a loose end but also a disaster due to the person leaving the job and all happened in last 10 mins.

Acting was good but the story line was not magical.

Concept Is Old But Worth Watching
19 October 2021
The concept is not new. We have Saw and many other such movies and series.

But this is slightly differently directed and made. I liked the slight positivity they showed.

Good Flick

The movie is very good. I am not sure why people dont like it.

There are some acting flaws and direction errors here and there but that can be ignored in a Sci Fi movie.

The plot is a mix of Aliens and time travel but the way its made is very good.

Chris Pratt has done a good job.
