Asur: Welcome to Your Dark Side (2020)
Overrated!
Wikipedia mentions it as Indian version of True Detectives, which got me interested. Don't understand the 8.4 Rating here.
A question to the director: Was there a third person in the 1st-episode-killing who filmed the incident? Because the footage received later clearly shows that the killing was filmed exactly like you directed it.
Such a silly mistake, but still I wasn't prepared enough for the rest of the series to be filled with stupidity.
The series is filled with plot-holes and lacks execution in different levels.
Unnecessary use of CGI which stands out like a sore thumb.
Hammy acting by casts, even by the lead at some places and direction is really really poor.
And plots are from potboiler films, specifically the coffin-killing part, which was super unrealistic and way more in the Unrealism area later on.
Not that my expectations were high, but this was such a disappointment and the rating is such a let down
Raat Akeli Hai (2020)
Not bad at all, but not too good either
Totally worth your time
Class apart from regular bollywood potboilers
Engaging, Intresting story
Acting from all the characters were ace, obviously the casting is amazing
Direction was really good, mind you, it's his debutant work
And yet, rated it 7/10 because thrill factor was missing
Wasn't invested in the characters
Unexplained fast-paced last 20mins compared to the initial 2 hours
Poor make-up, Can't ignore the wigs and de-aging attempts (doesn't spoil the film much)
La casa de papel (2017)
Don't understand the high ratings. Just a Popcorn, potboiler stuff. Nothing above the ordinary..
Definitely not a 8.5
It's good in places, but unrealistic and drag almost all the way, except the last two episodes of season 2. I don't understand a sudden rush at the end with dumb plots. Unwanted love interests, which is cringeworthy. Just wanted to finish watching it.
I mean you'll love it as a potboiler, popcorn series, but if you are looking for excellence, intriguing series, this is not the one.
Chopsticks (2019)
A perfect Time Out, fun-time, First Date movie.
That was a good feel-good movie. The jokes were genuine and I cracked so hard. It was breath of fresh air unlike other bollywood releases which rely on same old generic ingredients.
Movie wasn't over-the-top neither wasn't boring.
Character presentation was fresh, with strong acting by both the leads, they made it relateable. Vijay Raaz can play that character right out of bed and he's brilliant.
Anyhow, I liked this movie as a whole.
Gold (2018)
Unreal, inconveniencing, poor attempt, potboiler masala.
This was just a shoddy attempt to bring patriotism in a hockey movie.
Very unrealistic, unconvincing and poorly made.
Akki is a good actor, but here he's just all over the place with his acting. Was he acting as a Bengali who can sing in Punjabi or a Punjabi mocking Bengali accent throughout the film🤔; and also he's all over the place in the film (coach+manager+financer+team selector+scouter, did I miss any? Apart from a moment when he was picking up teams luggage as a cookie🤷) At any moment if Akki had come to score a goal, I wouldn't have been surprised😂.
I mean, c'mon director Saab, we're not so dumb.
Rest of main characters have done their work well enough.
Now, Comparison with another similar hockey based film is called for. Without going into details, it's no were near the art, skills, patriotism, emotional value and sincerity of Chak De.
